Wrong definition edit
Hi, sound symbolism is not
the resemblance of sound and its meaning.
Instead it is
In linguistics, sound symbolism is the resemblance between the sound of name of an object and symbol(s) that can be activated about that object in one's brain.
So please inspect my new definition. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 07:48, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- @주이안 Please read above and discuss about wrong definition here. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 11:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sound symbolism is not limited to object names Counterexample: Japanese pata-pata ‘sound of flapping wings’, which depicts the sounds of an action and not the name of an object.
- Also “symbols” are not activated in the human brain. 주이안 (talk) 09:31, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- @주이안 You are right about «object». I think «concept» is the correct replacement. But «human brain» in my opinion is correct, if you disagree please give some counter-examples. All symbols are activated in human brain (by some sense), for example there is no softness or magnitude in physics, they are some how artifacts of human brain.
- So I propose this definition:
