| Citazioni | [...] ‘variants’ are correlates with mutual substitution. [...] not only entities, but also functions have variants, so that the distinction between variants and invariants is valid for functives in general. In the modern phonetically oriented science of the expression it is the custom to distinguish between two kinds of variants – the so-called “free” variants, which appear independently of the environments, and the so-called “bound” or “conditioned” [...] variants, which appear only in certain environments in the chain. |
