Focusing on the representation of spoken language, this work proposes a unique system of symbols designed to capture the melody and measure of speech. Joshua Steele argues that such a system would enhance communication and preserve oral traditions for future generations. The book is structured into sections that examine various elements of this proposal, including examples of the suggested symbols and a discussion of their potential impacts. Aimed at linguists and educators, the scholarly text emphasizes the importance of understanding language and communication.
