This book, Phonosemantic Dictionary: Exploring the Essence of English Words, examines the intrinsic relationship between phonetics and semantics in the evolution of language. Rooted in the innovative field of phonosemantics, it presents a structured framework for interpreting the psychological and philosophical dimensions of pronunciation in English words based on their International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) representations.
Building upon a psychological model that links phonetic
elements to cognitive and perceptual processes, this work provides a unique
perspective for decoding the meanings embedded in sounds. Rather than
revisiting the theoretical foundations established in the author’s previous
publications, this book focuses on practical applications and word
interpretations, offering readers tangible insights into the phonosemantic
interplay between sound and meaning.
By delivering detailed interpretations of English words,
this dictionary reveals the hidden connections between phonetic structures and
their semantic implications, bridging the realms of sound and thought. While
the same principles could be applied to other languages, this work is
specifically dedicated to English words.
Designed for linguists, philosophers, and language
enthusiasts, this book serves as both a practical reference and a theoretical
exploration. It invites readers to engage with language as a dynamic fusion of
sound, meaning, and consciousness, offering profound insights into the nature
of communication and the evolution of thought.
