    • 1989, John C. Wells, Lingvistikaj aspektoj de Esperanto, 2nd edition, Universala Esperanto-Asocio, →OL:
      Se la denaska lingvo plene determinus la mondrigardon, ni trovus, ke franclingvano ne komprenas la diferencon inter virino kaj edzino; ni trovus, ke germanlingvano konfuzus mense inter viro kaj edzo, inter virino kaj edzino; dum la anglalingvano bone komprenas la diferencon.
      If one's native language fully determined one's worldview, we would find that a francophone doesn't understand the difference between woman and wife; we would find that a germanophone would mentally confuse man and husband, woman and wife; while the anglophone well understands the difference.
