What is "Kinakeme"? (connected with the history of phoneme discovery)

Если в Нигме задать Kinakeme phoneme, то по пятой ссылке:

The Kinakeme as the Ultimate Unit of Language

It is a widespread belief among linguists nowadays that phonology has passed its days of glory and finds itself at a low ebb. In my opinion, if it is to regain its vigour and achieve new heights, it must be ready to reappraise much of the cherished legacy from its brilliant past. Among other things it should be prepared to reconsider the pivotal place of the phoneme in its theoretical edifice. A number of time-honoured problems, like phonemic modelling, distinctiveness, neutralization etc. will then lose much, if not all, of their former significance in phonological theory.

The crucial point in the development of phonemics was reached when experimental investigations had demonstrated the impossibility of accepting the phoneme as the basic unit in the production and perception of oral speech. The inability of the phoneme to play this role is explained by the simple truth that speech production and perception are cerebral activities first and foremost, while the sound chain is the vehicle for their externalization. The discovery and study of the phoneme as the language quantum of audible speech sound was a great step forward in the history of linguistics. It was quite natural for the observable phenomenon of sound to become an object for theory before the internal cerebral mechanism of sound production and perception. But this chronological precedence cannot justify the treatment of the phoneme as the primary language unit on the plane of expression.

The preponderance of the oral and aural aspects of speech over the underlying cerebral aspect in classical phonological theory is an error that linguistics should waste no time in correcting. It is high time for phonology to revive the pioneering ideas of J. Baudouin de Courtenay, who did not make this mistake, whose psychologism, as F. Grucza has correctly pointed out, “should not be treated as a step backwards in the development of contemporary phonology” [1].

Just as the sound chain is made up of language quanta designated as phonemes, so is the chain of cerebral activities leading to the innervation of the mechanism for the production and perception of oral speech segmentable into language quanta of a different level.

The need for the linguistic investigation of the innervation stage of speech is obvious. As early as in the mid-50s R. Jacobson and M. Halle expressed an interest in “the nerve impulses sent from the brain to the effector organs”, which unfortunately were then “not yet open to a precise analysis” [2]. “As to the transformation of speech components by the nervous system, we can, for the time being, at best only hazard what psychophysiologists have referred to as ‘a mere speculative assertion’ ” [3]. The following two decades apparently brought little progress in this field, as “descriptions of speech and hearing in terms of innervations instead of articulations seem to be lacking, interesting as such research should be” [4]. Phonemic theory can enjoy the advantages of an impressive body of phonetic data accumulated over more than a century, whereas the material on the innervation quantum is scanty. But this is no reason why the notion should be neglected or at best admitted as subsidiary to phonemic theory. The theoretician’s task is not only to follow the experimentalist by interpreting his findings, but – perhaps much more important – to lead the experimentalist by sketching areas of scientific interest. Therefore, the lack of data on the nervous mechanism of speech should not deter us from positing, on purely theoretical grounds, the existence of linguistically relevant units embedded in this mechanism.

вот прямо так и представил себе: сидит Бодуэн де Куртене и вдруг открывает фонему. а потом чешет репу и бормочет: "пожалуй, одной фонемы маловасто будет.. . надо бы еще и кинакему поискать".
а что, гугл уже отменили? и что за мода пошла по-английски вопросы задавать? так вы хоть английский тогда подучите.
