<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I manage a very large lexical database
on African languages (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.reflex.cnrs.fr">www.reflex.cnrs.fr</a>), and I also need to
encode the meaning of ideophones. The principle I use is to have
more abstract categories (as compared to your list). So far, my
own list is very useful and not far from complete (i.e. it is not
often the case that I don't know how to encode a particular
ideophone). Here is my list :</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">action<br>
emotion<br>
movement<br>
quantity<br>
(visual) aspect<br>
state<br>
smell<br>
reaction<br>
attitude<br>
shape<br>
speech<br>
relation<br>
noise/sound<br>
taste<br>
phenomenon<br>
rythm<br>
contact<br>
liquid<br>
position<br>
sensation/feeling<br>
color<br>
light<br>
proportion<br>
temperature<br>
motion<br>
modality<br>
quality<br>
time<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope it will help</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently trying to make a list of
semantic categories of ideophones, in order to do a
cross-linguistic comparison (for example, do ideophones whose
meanings are related to brightness show similarity across
different languages?)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s my list so far, created out of my
intuition and previous literature.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if you have any meanings that you
would like to add to or remove from the list.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal is to make a list of ideophone
meanings so that most languages that have a sizeable ideophone
inventory would have at least several ideophones that belong
to each category.</p>
