Sound symbolism: the role of word sound in meaning
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2017The question whether there is a natural connection between sound and meaning or if they are related only by convention has been debated since antiquity. In linguistics, it is usually taken for granted that ‘the linguistic sign is arbitrary,’ and exceptions like onomatopoeia have been regarded as marginal phenomena. However, it is becoming more and more

Abstract This article seeks to resolve the long-running controversy about “sound symbolism” — that is, the controversy as to whether as phonemes, sound features, and so on can be meaningful apart from the morphemes they are part of. It argues that both opponents and proponents have been partly right and partly wrong.

Nevertheless, a considerable body of research that supports principles of sound symbolism has accumulated.

Sound symbolism is the phenomenon of cross-modal correspondences non-arbitrarily linking phonological components and semantic meanings in language (e.g., words meaning round contain a high proportion of rounded vowels such as /u/; Mathur, 2010). Our study suggests that this cross-modal phenomenon is related to synaesthesia, a cross-modal phenomenon ...
