A Cross‐Modal and Cross‐lingual Study of Iconicity in Language: Insights From Deep Learning
Cognitive Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract The present paper addresses the study of non‐arbitrariness in language within a deep learning framework. We present a set of experiments aimed at assessing the pervasiveness of different forms of non‐arbitrary phonological patterns across a set of typologically distant languages.

Cognitive Science, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021 Abstract Iterated language learning experiments that explore the emergence of linguistic structure in the laboratory vary considerably in methodological implementation, limiting the generalizability of findings. Most studies also restrict themselves to exploring the emergence of combinatorial and compositional structure in isolation.

An Expanded Model for Perceptual Norming: Insights From Japanese Ideophones
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Iconicity is inherently grounded in sensory experience, yet few studies investigate how sensory information is packaged in iconic words. We present perceptual strength ratings for Japanese ideophones, to ask how sensory information is encoded in this word class.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.

The Grammar of Perception: A Case Study of Guambiano (Namtrik) and Duna
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Although the senses provide a common basis for our experience of the world, cross‐linguistic research has revealed substantial diversity across languages in how perceptual experiences are encoded in words. Such variability is also present at the level of grammatical structure, though the project of charting the parameters and limits of cross ...

Visual Components to Interpretation—Formal Approaches to Visible Meaning
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Visual components of communication interact with the core linguistic system at all levels and make an important contribution to the meaning of the utterance expressed. This does not only apply to sign languages, which exclusively rely on the visual channel, but also co‐speech gestures and emojis, which are visual means that accompany and ...
