is an unconscious system of relations which is the product of unconscious thought processes that attain to fundamental and objective realities.

The problem under discussion here can, then, be defined as follows. Among all social phenomena, language alone has thus far been studied in a manner which permits it to serve as the object of truly scientific analysis, allowing us to understand its formative process and to predict its mode of change. This results from modern researches into the problems of phonemics, which have reached beyond the superficial conscious and historical expression of linguistic phenomena to attain fundamental and objective realities consisting of systems of relations which are the products of unconscious thought processes. The question which now arises is this: is it possible to effect a similar reduction in the analysis of other forms of social phenomena' If so, would this analysis lead to the same result' And if the answer to this last question is in the affirms (Levi-strauss 1951 : 157)

is a rather cruel word. One can't help but wonder why it isn't spelled with an 'F'.

Why isn't the word 'phonetically' spelled with an 'f?
