Effects of iconicity in lexical decision
Language and Cognition, 2020 In contrast to arbitrariness, a recent perspective is that words contain both arbitrary and iconic aspects. We investigated iconicity in word recognition, and the possibility that iconic words have special links between phonological and semantic features

A test of the symbol interdependency hypothesis with both concrete and abstract stimuli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In Experiment 1, the symbol interdependency hypothesis was tested with both concrete and abstract stimuli. Symbolic (i.e., semantic neighbourhood distance) and embodied (i.e., iconicity) factors were manipulated in two tasks-one that tapped symbolic ...

Degree and not type of iconicity affects sign language vocabulary acquisition.
Journal of Experimental Psychology. Learning, Memory and Cognition, 2020 Lexical iconicity-signs or words that resemble their meaning-is overrepresented in children's early vocabularies. Embodied theories of language acquisition predict that symbols are more learnable when they are grounded in a child's firsthand experiences.

From mimicry to mime by way of mimesis: Reflections on a general theory of iconicity
Sign Systems Studies, 2010 Practically all theories of iconicity are denunciations of its subject matter (for example, those of Goodman, Bierman and the early Eco). My own theory of iconicity was developed in order to save a particular kind of iconicity, pictoriality, from such ...

Cognitive Sciences, 2021 One cue that may facilitate children's word learning is iconicity, or the correspondence between a word's form and meaning. Some have even proposed that iconicity in the early lexicon may serve to help children learn how to learn words, supporting the ...

Journal of Cognition, 2021 Murgiano et al. make a compelling case for studying iconicity in multimodal face-to-face interaction, but they appear ambivalent about the importance of iconicity at the level of the linguistic system.

Study on English Translation of Chinese Quantifiers from the Perspective of Cognitive Iconicity: A Pilot Study [PDF]
SHS Web of ConferencesChinese quantifiers are heavily loaded with Chinese culture, making it challenging to translate them into idiomatic English. The majority of earlier studies only examined linguistically the English translations of Chinese quantifiers.
