| "LISTENERS CONSTRUCT AUDITORY SPACE [...] To be communicative depends upon anticipating the other's moves." |
| Listening to an acoustic ecology or a culture typically involves a hearing bias, a discrimination towards foreground sounds and against background noise. When listening to a culture, this reinforces "the proposition that culture is communication." This, for Carter, is a mistake. |
| In many societies, "[m]eaning is derived not from the place of the sound sign in relation to other sound signs within the communicational system. It originates from outside the system, from the association of the sound with a sound in the environment that it mimics." |

| Ideophones constitute an expressive and affective sound alignment with the natural world. Common to many cultures, onomatopoeia is one form of ideophone. |
