Abstract

his article explores the semantic functions of speech sounds and

phonemes and their critical role in distinguishing meaning in language. Phonemes, as the

smallest units of sound that differentiate words, provide the basis for semantic

differentiation—subtle shifts in sound can alter meaning, as in minimal pairs like "bat" and

"pat." The article also discusses the influence of suprasegmental features (e.g., pitch, stress,

and intonation) on meaning, highlighting how they add emotional and contextual layers to

language. In addition, the concept of phonesthemes illustrates how certain sound clusters

may carry semantic associations across different words (e.g., "gl-" in "glow" and "glitter,"

often related to light). The piece further contrasts phoneme functions across languages,

noting how certain languages rely more on specific phonetic distinctions than others, while

acknowledging the influence of morpheme-phoneme interactions and language evolution

on meaning. This analysis enriches our understanding of how languages use sound to

communicate complex meanings and emotions.
