{ "pk": 28608, "title": "Articulatory features of phonemes pattern to iconic meanings: evidence fromcross-linguistic ideophones", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Iconic words are known to exhibit an imitative relationshipbetween a word and its referent. Many studies have workedto pinpoint sound-to-meaning correspondences for ideophonesfrom different languages. The correspondence patterns showsimilarities across languages, but what makes such language-specific correspondences universal, as iconicity claims to be,remains unclear. This could be due to a lack of consensus onhow to describe and test the perceptuo-motor affordances thatmake an iconic word feel imitative to speakers. We created andanalyzed a database of 1,888 ideophones across 13 languages,and found that 5 articulatory properties, physiologically acces-sible to all spoken language users, pattern according to seman-tic features of ideophones. Our findings pave the way for futureresearch to utilize articulatory properties as a means to test andexplain how iconicity is encoded in spoken language.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "iconicity; ideophones; systematicity; sound sym-bolism; phonology; semantics" } ], "section": "Papers with Oral Presentations", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4kx4w43n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Arthur", "middle_name": "Lewis", "last_name": "Thompson", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Hong Kong", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Nicolas", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Collignon", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Edinburgh", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Youngah", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Do", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Hong Kong", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2019-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28608/galley/18479/download/" } ] }
