Re: [xmca] Victor Wooten: Music as a Language
The sound aspect of words is perceived as we perceive music. That is how we "know" what it means. Music is the universal language. The sounds of our words is the universal language. We are moved, literally, by the sounds of our voices. The sounds of all our vowels and consonants relate to emotions. Our world-view, shared by others within our language group, is established by our experience of this emotional affect of our spoken words coupled with their referential function. When we verbalize, we feel the sounds while thinking of the things. Therefore we associate the feelings of the sounds of our words with the things to which we refer with them. Of course, the feelings are associated with the sounds of the words, not directly with the things. If we did not associate the sounds with the things, we would not have a clue as to the meaning of our world. This misassociation creates our only consensus information as to the meaning of our world. We ORDer our world with our wORD.
