The Importance of Sounds in Words: An Exploration of Phonetics and Linguistic Meaning

Аннотация

Abstract: This article examines the significance of sounds in words, highlighting how phonetics influences language comprehension, communication, and the formation of meaning. Through an analysis of phonological structures, sound symbolism, and the relationship between sound patterns and semantic associations, this study underscores the role of auditory features in language development and cognitive processing. By integrating findings from linguistic theory, psychology, and neuroscience, we argue that sound plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of language and its nuances.
