Glottocentric
"Glottocentric" refers to a perspective that centers the study or understanding of language primarily around the spoken voice or speech itself, rather than written forms or other aspects. It emphasizes the importance of the glottis (the part of the throat involved in speech production) and spoken language as fundamental to linguistic analysis. This approach considers speech as the primary observable and analyzable aspect of language, often focusing on phonetics and phonology, and tends to view spoken language as more authentic or fundamental than written language.
