Sound symbolism in English and German: What meanings can sounds carry by Mariann

Description: Sound symbolism in English and German by Marianna Szabóné Habók The notion of sound symbolism has been highly debated throughout the centuries. The phenomenon is quite controversial and difficult to study for two main reasons: first, because it is a vividly symbolic field, and second, because these phonosemantic meanings are reluctant to be molded in a systematic way. In this work the intention of the author has been to shed light on that controversy by giving an overall view of the linguistics theories of sound symbolism, as well as of its possible categories; then listing some of the most remarkable experiments conducted in this field; and finally presenting some obvious evidence that proved to be convincing for this author.

Author Biography I was born in Hungary in 1979. I have got two beautiful sons and a great husband. From my early childhood I showed great interest in languages, obviously that is why I graduated as an English - German language teacher. Somehow for me languages seem to be the most logical and at the same time also magic games.
