Overview

SOLF: The Sensory-Origin Linguistic Framework Where Words Begin Before there were dictionaries or alphabets, there were sensations-heat, cold, hunger, fear, sweetness, rhythm, light. From these primal encounters came the first human impulse to speak. SOLF proposes a radical, yet intuitively human premise: that every word we use today can trace its roots back to a sensory experience that early humans had to communicate. Combining linguistic insight, poetic analysis, and vivid storytelling, SOLF journeys deep into the emotional and physical spark behind language. Each chapter begins not with a definition, but with a scene: the first time someone saw lightning, smelled rot, tasted sweetness, or felt the sting of jealousy. From these moments, words were born-not as abstract symbols, but as bodily translations of lived reality. In its final section, the Appendix brings this framework to life through curated excerpts from public domain literature, showing how key English words continue to carry the sensory weight they were born from. Each entry presents the word in its literary habitat, along with a brief interpretive lens rooted in the SOLF perspective. This is not a technical treatise on linguistics. It is a book for readers, thinkers, poets, and seekers-for anyone who has ever felt that some words strike deeper than others and wondered why. SOLF reframes etymology not as the study of how words evolved, but as a rediscovery of why they had to exist in the first place. It is both a philosophy and a framework, giving readers a new way to trace the invisible thread between language, sensation, and memory. Whether you're a lover of language or someone who's ever had a feeling too big for silence, SOLF will show you that words didn't just appear-they were felt into being.
