    This sourceReviews cross-linguistic evidence (including ideophones) that iconicity and systematicity are pervasive non-arbitrary form

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Dingemanse et al. show ideophones have cross-linguistically recurring iconic patterns while built from language-specific inventories, a degree of arbitrariness.

    “ideophones are built from language-specific phonological inventories (introducing a degree of arbitrariness), they show various cross-linguistically recurring correspondences between form and meaning (iconicity)”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
