"Now the identification of individual sounds by phonetic observation is an artificial way of proceeding."
Now
"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
"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
"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
"In poetic language, in which the sign as such takes on an autonomous value, this sound symbolism becomes an actual factor and creates a sort of accompaniment to the signified."
Language
"The search for the symbolic value of phonemes, each taken as a whole, runs the risk of giving rise to ambiguous and trivial interpretations because phonemes are complex entities, bundles of different distinctive features."
Giving
"When I speak it is in order to be heard."
Order
"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
"Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components."
