Citazioni

The operation of the analysis consists in investigating which of [the] four 'a priori' possible functival categories are realized and which are virtual – by analyzing each of the functival categories into members on the basis of the commutation test; these members we have called ‘elements’.
- Hjelmslev (1961), Pag. 86

We shall call the entities that are inventoried at each stage ‘elements’.
