ON BINARY PRINCIPLE OF NAMING OF SOUND MATTER IN ENGLISH PHONONYMY
Abstract
The paper attempts to describe the cognitive mechanism of naming sounds in the English language. The term ‘naming’ includes the processes of conceptualization, nomination and categorization of sounds. Besides, the author has introduced some new terms: phononym, acoustives, phononymy.
The whole bulk of sounds is suggested to be regarded as two mental entities: the world sound image and the world acoustic picture. English native speakers acquire, keep and express their knowledge about the frame ‘SOUND UNIVERSE’ which is split into two sub-frames: ‘PHONATION’ (sound production) and ‘AUDITION’ (aural perception). The world sound image is surmised as the sum of phonation of all the sounds on our planet. Whereas the world acoustic picture is made up by the sub-frame ‘audition’ of sounds which the English native speakers hear or can hear on the daily basis.
