Subject: Typological Linguistics: Ideophones
A new book on Typological Linguistics from John Benjamins Publishing:
Ideophones
F.K. Erhard VOELTZ and Christa KILLIAN-HATZ (Cologne University) (eds.)
Typological Studies in Language 44
2001. x, 436 pp. Hardcover
US & Canada: 1 58811 019 2 / USD 114.00
Rest of world: 90 272 2946 5 / EUR 125.00
The present volume represents a selection of papers presented at the
International Symposium on Ideophones held in January 1999 in
St. Augustin, Germany. They center around the following hypotheses:
Ideophones are universal; and constitute a grammatical category in all
languages of the world; ideophones and similar words have a special
dramaturgic function that differs from all other word classes: they
simulate an event, an emotion, a perception through language. In
addition to this unique function, a good number of formal parallels
can be observed. The languages dealt with here display strikingly
similar patterns of derivational processes involving ideophones. An
equally widespread common feature is the introduction of ideophones
via a verbum dicendi or complementizer. Another observation concerns
the sound-symbolic behavior of ideophones. Thus the word formation of
ideophones differs from other words in their tendency for iconicity
and sound-symbolism. Finally it is made clear that ideophones are part
of spoken language--the language register, where gestures are
used--rather than written language.
