The sound [k] as in kişi (man) in Turkish. This sound cannot be found in formal English.
The phonetic signs used here are in accordance with Türki sounds.
Our studies show that the early sounds were of semiotic value. Therefore, we use signify semiotically (instead of sign) for the sounds. The semiotic value of the stop sound [g] is:
[formally/typically] (of) locative, locational, rigid nature
(as action) ?
(functionally) locative, locational
Points with the sound [k] in the phonetic/phonemic system:
- This voiceless sound [k] pairs with its voiced [g] (hard palatal):
[k]: locality, stationary
[g]: pass-motion
- This pair make a system with their soft palatal forms:
This pair [g] and [k] have had a complexity with the alveolar sounds [c] ([j]) and [ç] ([ch]) sounds respectively at early language phase!
[g-c] complexity
[k-ç] complexity
