body of sound Explanation: I'd just go for the direct translation here. Only in this body of sound (the voice) can words, with their fleeting samples of 'sound material', actually be interpreted as 'pure meaning' and self-expression. |

aural signifier (identifier) Explanation: maybe: aural body (more literal) aural entity aural quality Lautkörper - the aural quality/identifier/signifier, the way a word is sounded out/voiced/does not (necessarily) have to depend on its meaning. http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/idsl/dozenten/wegmann/texte... Seine (Saussures) Sprachlehre hat die prinzipielle NichtIdentität zwischen der Sprache und einer ihr vorausliegenden Realität in eine solche Form gebracht Stichwort: Arbiträrität des Zeichens (Ref.8) (Ref. 8): Also jenes Axiom, wonach es zwischen Lautkörper u Bedeutung nur eine willkürliche (oder konventionelle) Verbindung besteht. |
