"It's not all that different with the orchestra. There are orchestras that seem to be encased in dough, so that first you have to break through the normal routine, and clear out the openings."

"At first acoustics attributed to the different sounds only a limited number of characteristic features."
First
"A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography."
Investigation
"Instead of following one another the sounds overlap; a sound which is acoustically perceived as coming after another one can be articulated simultaneously with the latter or even in part before it."
Sound
"The task is to investigate speech sounds in relation to the meanings with which they are invested, i.e., sounds viewed as signifiers, and above all to throw light on the structure of the relation between sounds and meaning."
Light
"For example, the opposition between acute and grave phonemes has the capacity to suggest an image of bright and dark, of pointed and rounded, of thin and thick, of light and heavy, etc."
Example
"When I speak it is in order to be heard."
Order
"It is once again the vexing problem of identity within variety; without a solution to this disturbing problem there can be no system, no classification."
Identity
"Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components."
Time
"Acoustic phonetics, which is developing and increasing in richness very rapidly, already enables us to solve many of the mysteries of sound, mysteries which motor phonetics could not even begin to solve."
Richness
"Semantics, or the study of meaning, remained undeveloped, while phonetics made rapid progress and even came to occupy the central place in the scientific study of language."
Progress
