The book «Voice and Sounds of the Mother Tongue» presents material that deepens knowledge of phonetics and phonology, expands the horizons of vision of the nature of our oral speech. Information is provided on such a complex and multifaceted phenomenon as the human voice. The importance of important elements of communication related to the concepts of listening, hearing and silence is revealed.

Overcoming the stereotypical idea of sound, the author seeks to show a modern understanding of this phenomenon; draws attention to the phenomenon of sound symbolism, which has been ignored for decades as a section of the science of language.

Much attention is focused on the main parameters of such a characteristic feature of the Ukrainian language as euphony, as well as on the facts little known to our educated public related to the history of the creation of our Old Slavonic alphabet - the Cyrillic alphabet.
