Contemporary sound terminology - towards a new terminological method

Abstract

Modern Arabic lacks the words that reflect the sounds of machines and
inventions created by human civilization, unlike the language we inherited
from our ancestors, which was rich in this type of vocabulary. They have
had a keen interest in expressing the various sounds that were like music
to their ears. They based their creation of these terms on simulating those
closest and most similar to Arabic sounds, with specific rhythms and word
roots.
Hopefully, the fact that the Arab speaker today is in urgent need for these
terms to be used in his daily life will be brought to the attention of those
working with the modern term (terminologists.) Because this shortage
compels him to improvise in a manner that is not appropriate for what the
terms actually express and mean, which is different for different speakers.
The research hopes to alert them to the necessity of investing the acoustic
modern technology to process and analyze sounds in order to obtain the
terminologies that are most appropriate and most valuable according to
researchers’ agreements.
