Citazioni

[...] language as such is not and cannot be definitely localized, for it consists of a peculiar symbolic relation -physiologically an arbitrary one -between all possible elements of consciousness on the one hand and certain selected elements localized in the auditory, motor, and other cerebral and nervous tracts on the other.
- Sapir (1921), Pag. 10
