活着的语言不仅仅是自治部分的集合，而且，正如萨皮尔(1921)所强调的，它是一个和谐而自给自足的整体，极大地抵制外界的变化，它是根据一个神秘但无疑是真实的内在计划演变而来的。我们将利用蒙达语和蒙高棉语语系的结构和历史2来论证，这种整体的组织甚至比萨皮尔想象的要广泛得多，在每种语言的同步和长期演变中将从句法到语音的所有语言结构相互联系起来。我们会争辩说，这种结构和进化的整体论背后的内在计划是短语和单词的节奏模式。
A living language is not just a collection of autonomous parts, but, as Sapir (1921) stressed, a harmonious and self-contained whole, massively resistant to change from without, which evolves according to an enigmatic, but unmistakably real, inner plan. We will draw on the structures and histories of the Munda and Mon-Khmer families of Austroasiatic languages2 to argue that this holistic organization is far more extensive even than Sapir imagined, linking all levels of linguistic structure—from syntax through phonetics—to each other in the synchrony and the long-term evolution of each language. And we will argue that the inner plan behind this holism of structure and evolution is the rhythmic pattern of phrases and words.
