Sound: [o]
Signifying:
- [o] scalar concept (magnitudinal concept as a phoneme) near ‘çevrə’ (‘çevrə’: surrounding environment)
- [-o-] vectorial concept (directionally-relative-to concept as a morpheme) relative to the near ‘çevrə’
- (material-formally) –
The significance of the vowel [o]!
Vowels formed a topological system with early language.
Semiotically to say, vowels (as well as consonants) used to function as iconic significations, that is, as the simplest signs to convey/signify complex concepts/meanings. This complex concept or meaning refers to the topological position of each vowel.
To have some proper picture or understanding of the sound [o] we have to consider it on its topological position. To do so, we suppose the following black circle as ‘dir’ (the existent unit, being unit):
Then, we can suppose the surrounding environment around ‘dir’:
And then we can suppose the sound [o] (at near/inner çevrə) and its pairing sound [u] (at far/outer çevrə) as follows:
Therefore, we can give the following model:
Now, we can see and check the position of the sound [o] on the attractor model of vowels:
