ÝLA, URRA, AND SUSSA: IMITATIVE WORDS IN (OLD) ICELANDIC

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article offers a preliminary exploration of sound-imitative (onomatopoeic, mimetic) words in the Icelandic language, examining them both synchronically and diachronically. The words are analysed typologically based on existing phono-semantic classifications, with a particular focus on investigating the influence of regular sound changes in Icelandic on its imitative lexicon. Additionally, Icelandic imitative words are compared to those in English. Imitative words exhibit an iconic correlation between their form and meaning. Iconicity, as understood through the lens of Charles Peirce, refers to the relationship of resemblance. By means of onomatopoeia, salient acoustic characteristics of natural sounds are replicated using speech sounds that share similar acoustic properties. For example, high-pitched sounds such as the peeping of mice or the chirping of birds are typically represented by high-pitched vowels, while quiet, rustling noises like the hissing of a snake or the sound of air escaping from a tyre are often depicted with fricative (voiceless) consonants. Sound changes in language lead to alterations in the acoustic characteristics of speech sounds, resulting in the de-iconization (loss of iconicity) of imitative words. The objective form-meaning similarity achieved at the moment of coinage through the selection of phonetic features resembling salient acoustic features of the denotatum disappears with regular sound changes.
