THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATURAL CODING: A PHONOSEMANTIC DECONSTRUCTION OF THE ENGLISH LEXICON THROUGH ODAM TILI THEORY

Abstract

The study of human language has long been dominated by the foundational assumption of arbitrariness, a principle most famously articulated by Ferdinand de Saussure in the early twentieth century. Saussurean linguistics posits that the relationship between the signifier—the acoustic pattern of a word—and the signified—the concept it represents—is purely a matter of social convention, devoid of any inherent or natural connection. However, a burgeoning paradigm known as Odam Tili (OT) theory, or "Human Language" theory, challenges this academic orthodoxy by proposing that language is not a collection of random conventions but a "natural code" preserved within the very structure of modern words. Developed by Dr. Mahmudjon Kuchkarov, Odam Tili suggests that the deepest layer of human communication began as a repeatable system built from the triad of Sign (physical shape), Phone (natural sound), and Sense (minimal meaning).
