Phonosemantics is not an unknown subject. We have a number of philosophers like Panini (400BC), Socrates (500BS), Hermogenes, and Plato (stated that the letter ‘L’ symbolizes softness), who gave their view for the subject. In the modern age, we have John Wallis (1653), John Locke (1689), Gottfried Wilhem Leibniz, Charles de Brosses (1765), Antoine Court de Gébelin (1775), Charles Nodier (1808), Dwight Bolinger (1949), Ivan Fónagy (1963), Hans Marchand and Margaret Magnus (2001) are some of the important philosophers who have done a lot of work in the field.
Most of the work has been done on phonesthemes, phonosemantic matching, and correlation between different languages. There was a wide difference between philosophers. Even after the long discussions, the fight between ‘natural’ and ‘arbitrary’ could not be concluded. There was a basic drawback in the discussion. They all had tried to correlate the object and the sound. This was an impossible task. Our hypothesis suggests a bridge in between the sound and the object. This bridge is a platform for ‘psychological perception’. Without psychological perception nothing can be perceived or expressed. The platform provides defined places for different sentiments as well as different sounds. And we have inter-converted the sentiments and the sounds. The conversion of visuals into sentiments into sound depends on the observer to observer.
The hypothesis is a result of root natural reasoning. The model suggested in the hypothesis quite resembles with the ‘model of existence’ explained in ancient Indian literature. It is a new innovative hypothesis for modern psycholinguists, and hence it is difficult to find any research relating to the above hypothesis.
