英语语言符号的形义联系初探

虽然同一概念在不同语言中有不同的表达形式,但各民族在表达某种特定的情感意义时有其约定俗成的语言形式。因此,形义之间有一定的联系。英语的语音、语调,尤其是音素,在形义联系方面有明显的象征意义。

Psychomycology: An interdisciplinary application of symbolism.

"Psychology is the study of behavior. Mycology is the study of fungi" including mushrooms, which are currently of great interest in psychotomimetic research. There are 3 main types of bibliographical source material: (a) extensive mycology literature proper, (b) growing research literature related to possible chemotherapeutic uses of fungi, and (c) literature "which is just plain literature." Examples of each category are cited. "Our hypothesis is that there are no neutral or emotionally dispassionate feelings about the mushroom. Individuals appear to group themselves into mycophiles, mycophobes, and mycoambivalents. The mushroom is seen variously as a symbol of death or ecstasy, but rarely as a natural organism untinged with affective power." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

A crosslinguistic investigation of phonetic symbolism.

An analysis of the sound of words demonstrated that in both English and Japanese, initial vowels and consonants are pleasant and the latter vowels and consonants are as unpleasant. Similarity in symbolism on the basis of the phonetic aspect was found between words in English and Japanese. From Psyc Abstracts 36:04:4GH23M.

Another look at phonetic symbolism.

Various possible meanings of "phonetic symbolism" are discussed. Phonetic symbolism is distinguised from onomatopoeia. "Elemental" and "structural" phonetic symbolism are defined. Elemental phonetic symbolism is discussed in terms of 7 hierarchically arranged questions which define "subjective" phonetic symbolism (that detected by Os) and "objective" phonetic symbolism (over-representation of particular sounds in words of particular connotations in natural languages). Experimental and empirical evidence relevant to each question are discussed, and it is concluded that both subjective and objective elemental phonetic symbolism are real phenomena, but that the patterns of symbolism are unrelated in historically unrelated languages. The feedback theory of phonetic symbolism (Taylor) is considered in greater detail than heretofore. (31 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Review of Symbolisme et connaissance.

Reviews the book, Symbolisme et connaissance by Jacques Montangero, Anastasia Pryphon, and Sylvain Dionnet (1987). In this book not only is the title bilingual, but also the introduction written by Montangero is presented in both French and English and eight of the 15 chapters are in English, with the remaining seven in French. So it appears that this is a truly balanced bilingual edition. The first part presents a theoretical model derived in part from Piagetian theorizing, in part from sociobiology. The papers in parts II and III are generally either critical of Piaget or espouse a rather different orientation. The concluding chapters describe research attempting to get a scientific handle on an elusive reality--dreams. May be given as a graduate course complemented by other comtemporary resources. A comfortable summer reading for those who like to see the links between science and dreams. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Tasting names: Systematic investigations of taste-speech sounds associations

Product names can be developed to effectively convey specific sensory attributes to the consumer. Most of the previous research on crossmodal correspondences has shown that people selectively associate words (e.g., ‘Maluma’, ‘Takete’) with taste attributes. To provide practical insights for naming new products in the food industry, it is important to obtain a more nuanced understanding concerning those properties of speech sounds (i.e., vowels, consonants) influencing people’s taste expectations. In this study, we investigated taste-speech sound correspondences by systematically manipulating the vowels and consonants comprising fictitious brand names. Based on the literature on crossmodal correspondences and sound symbolism, we investigated which vowels/consonants contribute more to the association between speech sounds and tastes (sweet/sour/salty/bitter). Across three experiments, we systematically varied vowels (front: [i][e], back: [a][u][o]), and affricate consonants (e.g., fricative: [f][s], stop: [p][t]) as well as voiced/voiceless consonants (e.g., voiced: [b][d], voiceless: [f][k]). Japanese participants were presented with brand names and had to evaluate the taste that they expected the product to have. The results revealed that: (1) front (back) vowels increased expected sweetness (bitterness), (2) fricative (stop) consonants increased expected sweetness (saltiness/bitterness), (3) voiceless (voiced) consonants increased expected sweetness/sourness (saltiness/bitterness). Moreover, consonants, which were pronounced first in the brand names, exerted a greater influence on expected taste than did the vowels. Taken together, these findings help advance theoretical foundations in sound-taste correspondences research as well as provide practical contributions to the food practitioners to develop predictive product names.
