"Now the identification of individual sounds by phonetic observation is an artificial way of proceeding."
Now
"Speech sounds cannot be understood, delimited, classified and explained except in the light of the tasks which they perform in language."
Language
"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
"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
"When I speak it is in order to be heard."
Order
"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
"Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components."
Time
"A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography."
Investigation
"At first acoustics attributed to the different sounds only a limited number of characteristic features."
First
"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."

"There were no footmarks.''Meaning that you saw none?''I assure you, sir, that there were none.''My good Hopkins, I have investigated many crimes, but I have never yet seen one which was committed by a flying creature. As long as the criminal remains upon two legs so long must there be some indentation, some abrasion, some trifling displacement which can be detected by the scientific searcher."

"Google maps are one thing but there's no substitute for pounding the beat and I spent quite a bit of time figuring out how to break into the back of the houses on Belgrave Place. Once I even for followed by a suspicious householder - I'd been hanging around staring at the exterior of his flat for too long."
