Linguistic experience alters the processing of sound symbolism : An EEG Study
Sound symbolism refers to a non-arbitrary relationship between linguistic sounds and meanings. Sound symbolism has been discussed in relation to the ontogenesis of language. Our previous ERP study revealed that preverbal infants who are just about to start word learning show the N400 response to sound symbolically mismatched speech sound-visual shape pairs, suggesting that the infants detected ...

Studies of sound symbolism have shown that people can associate sound and meaning in consistent ways when presented with maximally contrastive stimulus pairs of nonwords such as bouba/kiki (rounded/sharp) or mil/mal (small/big). Recent work has shown the effect extends to antonymic words from natural languages and has proposed a role for shared cross-modal correspondences in biasing formto-mean...
متن کاملSouth Siberian Sound Symbolism

This paper presents new field data on sound symbolism in two South Siberian Turkic languages: Tofa(lar) and Tuvan (including the unwritten Tsengel and Hovd dialects spoken in Mongolia). Sound symbolic word format...

Using a selection of basic vocabulary in nearly one half of the world’s languages we find commonalities a...
