<P>According to my professor in sociolinguistics, /s/ is the most sensual sound in the English phonetic system. Is there a connection? Are there equivalents in other phonetic systems?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Re: The psychological link between vowels and colors, is this a link
<DIV></DIV>>felt/known by most Russians? Is it similar to that between colors
<DIV></DIV>>and
<DIV></DIV>>emotions (red is anger, blue is sad in English) or is it simply due
<DIV></DIV>>to the
<DIV></DIV>>fact that these are the first vowels used in the color terms?
<DIV></DIV>>e.g. krAsniy = red
<DIV></DIV>> sInniy = blue
<DIV></DIV>> zEljoniy = green
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Is jo thought to be yellow (zhOltiy)?
<DIV></DIV>>Or is it being proposed that these colors contain these sounds
<DIV></DIV>>because of an
<DIV></DIV>>inherent property of the color/sound?
