Introduction to a Visual Phonology

Mbarek HANOUN

University Mohammed V-Agdal, Rabat, Morocco

Abstract
This study seeks to establish a visual phonology that studies the signs
language,writing systems, diacritics signs and punctuation. It develops and
broadens what the linguist Linda Uyechi (1996) called visual phonology, the
science which studies sign languages.
The validity of visual phonology entails an analysis of its major tributaries
as illustrated by the different linguistic studies of oral and writing, contrastive
linguistics as well as the different visual systems, cognitive sciences and
educational linguistics.
This work tries also to employ a number of concepts, such as visual
language, visual linguistics, which developed into two branches, namely visual
lexicon, and syntactic structures as well as visual phonetics, to shape a visual
phonology through a measurement of the correlations of its units with that of the
audio-vocal phonological units as well as the interaction between the two subsystems. It also attempts to understand the role of educational linguistics in
emphasizing the importance of the integration of the written component in
linguistics via phonology.
With such a new perspective, we can address the impact of writing on the
oral spoken language, which will reduce the phonetic tendency to study the
phonological issues. It will also help to learn both the visual and the written

through interaction, polarity and differentiation. This interest in visual phonology

will undoubtedly help to overcome some of the educational issues.
