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.

Hidden Likeness: Avoidance and Iconicity in Batek
Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 4-24, May 2021., 2021 In Batek, both iconic and avoidant speech forms only have the desired effect when their sounds are at the same time like, and different to, their referents. This necessary coexistence of likeness and difference in particular speech forms resonates with the sought for coexistence of alterity and affinity in Batek interpersonal relationships.
