| 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 [...]. |
