Parallel meanings of sounds in the adygh and latin languages
Abstract
The subject of the study is to determine the specific meaning for the sound [u] at the interdisciplinary level in the Adyghe languages (modern Kabardino-Circassian and Adyghe) and its possible parallel in Latin. The difference between our research and the followers of phonosymbolism is that it does not derive an abstract or descriptive meaning, but a pattern that is viewed from the point of view of natural sciences, in this case, from the perspective of physics. The purpose of the work is to determine the atomic meaning of sound and reveal the quantum meaning. The study uses the method of component analysis, identification of semantic similarity, and semantic reconstruction based on examples from a related language at the intersection of linguistics and the laws of physics. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the "atomic" and "quantum" meaning of sound. These terms are used due to the fact that the semantics of sound is considered at the intersection of linguistics and physics. Going beyond the prosodic characteristics of sound, it was possible to establish a single energy-information characteristic of the analyzed unit and its internal saturation. The results of the study are not limited to identifying the predominance or exclusivity of a particular language, but only an attempt to determine the relationship between diverse languages through the prism of the semantics side of sound at the junction of interdisciplinary study. They can serve as defining…
