LING5900 Topics in Linguistics: Language and the Five Senses
In this class we will investigate how language is used to create notions or images that are closely associated with auditory, visual, tactile, physiological, or other kinds of human perception and to share intersubjective experiences related to the five senses. Mimetics (sound-symbolic lexemes), onomatopoeia, ideophones, phonomimes, voices (voice-imitating words), phenomimes (manner-imitating words), and psychomimes (sensation imitating words) have been found to more or less common in the world's languages. While they are rare in European languages, they are found in African and some Asian languages, and Japanese has one of the richest systems which forms a major lexical stratum in the language
Possible topics will be the role of sound (e.g., sound symbolism, phonological vowel harmony, tonal harmony), form (morphological features including total or partial reduplication), syntactic structures (adverbial, right/left dislocation, predicative), semantics (systematic iconic links between sound and conceptual features, the affective-imagistic dimension, sensory imagery), pragmatics (uses associated with high-involvement, emotion, and epistemic authority), paralanguage (marked intonation and phonation), accompanying gestures, child language acquisition, and popular uses in manga and anime.
