Quotes
- “A western scholar must de-europeanize himself, and, in view of the most universal use of English, an Englishman must de-Anglicize himself as well.”
- “Collocations are actual words in habitual company. A word in a usual collocation stares you in the face just as it is. Colligations cannot be of words as such. Colligations of grammatical categories related in a grammatical structure do not necessarily follow word divisions or even sub-divisions of words.”
- “The phonetic animal par excellence is man. All men are born with an infinite capacity for making noises and using them.”
- “In English we have noticed twenty-five consonant and about twenty vowel phonemes. Although individual pronunciations may differ, the phonemic habits of the same group or class will be similar. They will make similar use of . Words not phonetically separated — that is, s — may be separated by function or by experiential context”
- “It is not easy to determine what are the units of speech. Some would say speech sounds, others phonemes... The general opinion is, however, that words, not phones or phonemes or phoneme systems, are the units of speech.”
- “The complete meaning of a word is always contextual, and no study of meaning apart from context can be taken seriously.”
