Citazioni

Phonic interference may be due to factors on four levels: I. Properly PHONIC FACTORS. [...] II. EXTRA-PHONIC FACTORS within the languages. Here we may consider cases of interference (or, on the contrary, suppression of interference) aimed at the avoidance of a particularly undesirable homophony, such as might cause serious ambiguity, unwanted allusions to taboo words in either language, and the like. These lexical considerations function as a control of interference in specific words and have nothing to do with the sound systems as such. [...] III. EXTRA-LINGUISTIC FACTORS. [...] IV. [...] we may also expect a residue of ERRATIC CASES of interference [...].
