"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

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

Now

"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

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

First

"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

Sound

Richness
