Synopsis
Origin Of Language And Myths by Morgan Peter Kavanagh presents a polemical, synthetic theory of language origins, arguing that signs predate speech and that the sun serves as a foundational source for many words, concepts, and deities across cultures. The work contends that the earliest signs—gestures and drawings—led to articulatory sounds, with the first word emerging from a sun-derived circle sound that then proliferates into related meanings. It extends this sun-centered etymology to alphabets, myth, and religious symbols, suggesting that myths function as typological derivatives of shared linguistic roots. Through cross-linguistic comparisons and a confrontational, performative narrative, the book critiques established philology while proposing a unified framework in which language, myth, and cultural memory are interconnected. Part one outlines core roots, the doctrine of types, and a satirical examination of scholarly authority, setting the stage for a broader project that links word origins to universal life-sun-night axes and to a revised history of language and myth.
