Revisiting the hypothesis of ideophones as windows to language evolution: The human self-domestication perspective

2023-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<p>Abstract Ideophones stand out as promising constructions to be considered as linguistic “fossils”. Allegedly, this is due to some of their distinctive features, including their sound-symbolic nature, ample use of reduplication, reliance on the simplest combinatorial processes, attachment to emotional content, and presumed bootstrapping effects on language acquisition. These features might exhibit some continuit...
