TL;DR: More recently, Tocqueville as mentioned in this paper argued that "nothing has changed and nothing has changed since Democracy in America was published in the 1830's" and that "everything has changed with each exposure to it".
Abstract: more impressive with each exposure to it. Everything has changed and nothing has changed since Democracy in America was published in the 1830’s. Its author grasped with remarkable perception both the mutable and the immutable qualities of man. There could be nothing more salutary for us today than to assimilate his fine sense of what was permanent in a world which, like ours, was undergoing deep convulsions. Committed to the classical economics of Adam Smith, Tocqueville did not share Smith’s illusions about the eternal nature of the market. On the contrary, as Albert Salomon has emphasized, his point of view

TL;DR: In this article, a negative correlation between marriage and anomie is found, and it is suggested that one should be led to inquire into the character of marriage as a nomos-building instrumentality, i.e., marriage as social arrangement that creates for the individual the sort of order in which he can experience his life as making sense.
Abstract: one ought properly to investigate also the nomic processes that, by their absence, lead to the aforementioned states. If, consequently, one finds a negative correlation between marriage and anomie, then one should be led to inquire into the character of marriage as a nomos-building instrumentality, that is, of marriage as a social arrangement that creates for the individual the sort of order in which he can experience his life as making sense. It is our intention here to discuss marriage in these

TL;DR: In this paper, the etymological point of view of the term category denotes a class of objects sharing a common feature, under linguistic category we generally understand a set of linguistic units (chiefly words) sharing a shared meaning or syntactical function, expressed by a common external (phonetic) form.
Abstract: If from the etymological point of view the term category denotes a class of objects sharing a common feature, under linguistic category we generally understand a class of linguistic units (chiefly words) sharing a common meaning or syntactical function, expressed by a common external (phonetic) form. Thus the words room-s, table-s, pencil-s, match-es, glass-es... are representative of the category of the plural number; (.he) describe-d, contrive-d, share-d, f ound-ed, assert-ed... represent the category of the past tense. Forms like men, children, etc., on the one hand, (he) rode, went, etc., on the other, are also members of the category of the plural or past, respectively, in spite of the lack of the characteristic feature -(e)s or -(e)d, since functionally (i.e. as regards meaning) they lean upon the pattern of the productive -s and -d forms, thus:

TL;DR: For instance, this article pointed out that there is an apparent connection between sound and meaning which, however, only seldom lends itself to an exact elucidation, is often only glimpsed, and most usually remains obscure.
Abstract: von Humboldt taught that &dquo;there is an apparent connection between sound and meaning which, however, only seldom lends itself to an exact elucidation, is often only glimpsed, and most usually remains obscure.&dquo; This connection and coordination have been an eternal crucial problem in the age-old science of language. How it was nonetheless temporarily forgotten by the linguists of the recent past may be illustrated by the repeated praises for the amazing novelty of Ferdinand de Saussure’s interpretation of the sign, in particular the verbal sign, as an indissoluble unity of two constituents-.rigni fiant and signifiéalthough this conception jointly with its terminology was taken
