• Arbitrariness of Symbolic Conventions
  • on ideophones, Perniss-Thompson-Vigliocco 2010

    This sourceReviews pervasive motivated, iconic form–meaning mappings across spoken and signed modalities, arguing iconicity is a general property of language.

    SupportedVerified against the work's full text

    Perniss et al. treat ideophones as one family of iconic form-meaning mappings and illustrate them with Siwu ideophones, while arguing against the view that language is fundamentally arbitrary.

    “We use iconicity as a blanket term for a broad range of phenomena, including what has been referred to in the literature as sound-symbolism , mimetics , ideophones , and iconicity .”

    The paper shows iconicity at phonological, morphological and syntactic levels (sound-symbolism, reduplication, word order) but not in graphical systems such as pictographic writing or emoji.

    “it is found in both spoken and signed languages and across all levels of language (i.e., syntax, morphology, and phonology)”

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 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 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.
