| Citazioni | [...] that phenomenon which is known in conventional grammar as ‘syncretism’ and in modern phonemics as ‘neutralization’ [...] consists in the fact that the commutation between two invariants may be suspended under given conditions [...] For such instances we shall use the term ‘suspension’ [...]. [...] the category that is established by an overlapping we call (in both planes of a language) a ‘syncretism’. |
