metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This study aims to consider the significance of deciphering the Hebrew alphabet for the
  history of phonetic thought. Hermetic and Kabbalistic teachings endowed the Hebrew
  language with a divine meaning. Traditionally considered as given to Adam by God, this alphabet was called the Alphabet of Adam. The novelty and relevance of the current
  work are defined by the lack of a comprehensive description of the relationship
  between these traditional ideas and phonetics. The need for it is caused by the earlier
  observations about the possible influence of the 17th century concepts on the results of
  later measurements of vowels with tuning forks, and by the widespread opinion about
  the low significance of this period in linguistic science history. Though there can be
  found some publications devoted to concrete authors of the 16th–17th centuries, their
  contribution to the development of phonetic sciences has not yet been acknowledged.
  The current research is based on primary and secondary sources in Latin, English,
  French and Russian. The analysis showed that deciphering the vowels of Hebrew alphabet
  led to the first attempt to accurately describe vowel acoustic features, the empirical
  study of their articulatory characteristics and to the search for the “ideal” alphabet built
  of iconic signs. It also allowed the authors to develop methods for teaching deaf-mutes
  and systematize vowels. Thus the initial hypothesis about the significance of deciphering
  the Alphabet of Adam for the history of phonetic thought was confirmed. Refs 25.
