Does Audibol refer to sound alone？Or does it contain meaning ?
Recently, I was confused when I read pages 60 to 64 of The Third Ear.
Does audibol refer to sound alone？Or does it contain meaning ( refer to “the sound with meaning” )?
Audibol 是單指「聲音」？ 還是「帶有含意的聲音」？
From the description of this text, audibol seems to refer to “the sound with meaning”.

But from the description of this text, audibol seems to refer to “sounds that are independent of meaning”.

I hope teachers or classmates can solve my problem for me.
Thanks.

To answer your question, there are a few important points.
Firstly, “audibol” is a new word that the author of “The Third Ear” created.
Secondly, audibols are sounds and we hear them (in the same way that symbols are mostly visual and we see them).
Thirdly, audibols REPRESENT meaning. Sounds with meaning (audibols) represent objects, actions, colours, feelings and emotions etc. or even abstract ideas. To be very rigorous, audibols do not contain meaning. They represent meaning. These two ideas are different.
Does this help?
Thank you for your response and detailed explanation.
So the meaning that audibols represent are given by people, and audibols itself do not contain meaning.
In addition, audibols will be given different meanings by different people.
Excuse me, does my understand correct?
所以audibol代表的意義是人們所賦予的，而audibol本身並不具有意義。
此外，audibol 會因不同的人，而賦予其不同的意義。
請問，以上，我的理解是對的嗎？
Your understanding is partially correct.
Yes, the meanings that audibols represent are given by people – people decide that a certain audibol will mean a certain thing.
To be useful, each audibol has a shared meaning. So, people all agree that a certain sound has a certain meaning. For instance, the audibol which we hear (then spell as) “hungry” will be heard by everybody, and understood to mean the feeling in our belly when we need food.
You can think of an audibol as a word, BUT ONLY a word which is a sound (not the written representation).
Does this make sense?
Thank you for your patience in clarifying the concept for me .
After discussion, I found that my concept seems to be getting clearer and clearer.
I think I can probably grasp the meaning of “audibol”.
“audibol” is the symbol of the sound ;
“audibol” is the symbol of the auditory ;
“audibol” is like a mark.
Right？
Correction
(x) “audibol” is the symbol of the auditory
(O) “audibol” is auditory symbol .
Yes, absolutely. “Audibol” is an auditory symbol.
We could say symbol, but people think of symbols as being images for things. To focus people on the idea that sounds, on their own, represent things (in the same way a symbol does), we needed a new word.
So, I invented a new word – audibol.
That’s a cool thing about language — we can invent words.
I think you now really have grasped the concept. Great!
Thanks a million！
I got it ！
Fantastic. Happy to hear that.
