A quite different view of the beginning of human speeches【S1】______
is based on the concept of "natural sounds". The suggestion is
that primitive words could have been imitations of the natural
sounds which early men and women hear around them. When【S2】______
an object flew by, made a CAWCAW sound, the early human【S3】______
imitated the sound and used it to refer to the object associating【S4】______
with the sound. And when another flying object made a
CUCKOO sound, that natural sound was adopted to refer to that
object. The fact all modern languages have some words with【S5】______
pronunciations which seemed to "echo" naturally occurring【S6】______
sounds could be used to support this theory. In English, in
addition to cuckoo, we have splash, bang, boom, rattle, buzz,
hiss, screech, and forms such as bow-wow. In fact, this type of
view has been called the "bow-wow" theory of language origin.
Even it is true that a number of words in any language are【S7】______
onomatopoeic(echoing natural sounds), it is hard to see how
most of the soundless, not mention abstract, entities in our world【S8】______
could have been referred to in a language that simply echoed
natural sounds. They might also be rather skeptical about a view【S9】______
that seems to assume that a language is only a set of words
which are used as "names" for entities.
It has also been suggested that the original sounds of
language came from natural cries of emotion, such as pain,
anger and joy. By this route, presumably, OUCH came to have
its angry connotations. Other interjections, often represented as【S10】______
Ah! Hey! Wow! or Yuck!, are not actually uttered via the
consonants and vowels we use in trying to write them down.
They also are often produced with sudden intakes of breath(the
opposite of ordinary talk). [br] 【S6】
