A test of the symbol interdependency hypothesis with both concrete and abstract stimuli. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

On System-Internal and Differential Iconicity in Egyptian Hieroglyphic Writing

open access: yesSignata, 2018
While referential modes of iconicity in signs of writing are well recognized, this paper emphasizes the complementary importance of system-internal modes of iconicity and sign motivation in complex writing systems.

Effects of iconicity in lexical decision

open access: yesLanguage 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

The road to language learning is not entirely iconic: Iconicity, neighborhood density, and frequency facilitate sign language acquisition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Iconic mappings between words and their meanings are far more prevalent than once estimated, and seem to support children’s acquisition of new words, spoken or signed.

Iconic semiosis and representational efficiency in the London Underground Diagram [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The icon is the type of sign connected to efficient representational features, and its manipulation reveals more information about its object. The London Underground Diagram (LUD) is an iconic artifact and a well-known example of representational ...

From mimicry to mime by way of mimesis: Reflections on a general theory of iconicity

open access: yesSign 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 ...

Study on English Translation of Chinese Quantifiers from the Perspective of Cognitive Iconicity: A Pilot Study [PDF]

open access: yesSHS Web of Conferences
Chinese 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.

A Complete Real-World Theory of Language Should Explain How Iconicity Remains a Stable Property of Linguistic Systems

open access: yesJournal 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.
