Old Onomatopoeia: What Etymological Dictionaries Tell us about Sound Imitation in Extinct Languages

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The growing bulk of evidence from modern languages of different families (see e.g. Hinton et al 1994; Voeltz et al 2001; Voronin 2006; Iconicity Atlas 2018) suggests that onomatopoeic (more broadly - iconic) words might be a language universal. This gives a reason to suspect that they can be found in ancient and reconstructed languages as well. Indeed, there are several works devoted to diachronic studies of phono-symbolism (Malkiel 1990; Liberman 2010), confirming this suggestion. But do these words differ from modern sound imitations? If yes in what way? For how long do they stay in a language? Do they change? Become obsolete? The purpose of this paper is to suggest some possible answers to these questions as well as outline the general tendencies of expressivity loss in onomatopoeic lexicon.
