"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

"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

"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

"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

"Of course, we have known for a long time that a word, like any verbal sign, is a unity of two components."

Time

"At first acoustics attributed to the different sounds only a limited number of characteristic features."

First

"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

"Now the identification of individual sounds by phonetic observation is an artificial way of proceeding."

Now

"A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography."

Investigation

"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."
