Dear colleagues,

we are compiling a bibliography of the literature dealing with Malay/Indonesian words such as gonggong 'woof-woof', greng-greng-greng (motorcycle engine being revved up), detak 'sound of heartbeat', debur 'the sound of waves breaking'. In the literature these words are known under a number of labels (e.g. expressives, ideophones, phonaestemes, or onomatopoeia). Indonesian grammarians usually call them onomatope or tiruan bunyi.

We are so far aware of the following sources and would very much appreciate additional references  you may know about or to know if anyone else is currently working on the topic. We will share the updated bibliography with you.

With best wishes,

František Kratochvíl and David Moeljadi
