    "title": "Synthesized size-sound sound symbolism",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Studies of sound symbolism have shown that people can\nassociate sound and meaning in consistent ways when\npresented with maximally contrastive stimulus pairs of\nnonwords such as bouba/kiki (rounded/sharp) or mil/mal\n(small/big). Recent work has shown the effect extends to\nantonymic words from natural languages and has proposed a\nrole for shared cross-modal correspondences in biasing form-\nto-meaning associations. An important open question is how\nthe associations work, and particularly what the role is of\nsound-symbolic matches versus mismatches. We report on a\nlearning task designed to distinguish between three existing\ntheories by using a spectrum of sound-symbolically matching,\nmismatching, and neutral (neither matching nor mismatching)\nstimuli. Synthesized stimuli allow us to control for prosody,\nand the inclusion of a neutral condition allows a direct test of\ncompeting accounts. We find evidence for a sound-symbolic\nmatch boost, but not for a mismatch difficulty compared to\nthe neutral condition.",
