Acknowledgments We would like to thank Janet Werker for insightful discussion and advice in designing the experiment. ...
Discussion The present study aimed to clarify the facilitating role of sound symbolism in novel word learning in 14-month-old infants. ...
Previous research has shown that sound symbolic words play facilitative role for preschool children's novel word learning, helping children identify what aspects of the world should be mapped to verbs ...

Interest in iconicity (the resemblance-based mapping between aspects of form and meaning) is in the midst of a resurgence, and a prominent focus in the field has been the possible role of iconicity in ...
We suggest a number of productive avenues for future research and specify what types of evidence would be required to show a role for iconicity in general learning enhancement. ...
Acknowledgements We thank Steve Levinson and all our colleagues in the Language Evolution in Interaction project at the MPI for Psycholinguistics. ...

Thus, it remains largely unknown whether the beneficial role of iconicity in making semantic decisions can be considered a general feature in spoken language applying also to "ordinary" words in the lexicon ...
By capitalizing on the affective domain, and in particular arousal, we organized words in two distinctive groups of iconic vs. non-iconic based on the congruence vs. incongruence of their lexical (meaning ...
Rather, language users would access the meaning of words solely through learned, and per se, arbitrary links between linguistic symbols and their cognitive representations. ...

In this paper, we present a neuroanatomically-based embodied computational model of multimodal habituation to explore the temporal and social constraints on the learning observed in very young infants. ...
In particular, the model is able to explain empirical results showing that auditory word stimuli must be presented synchronously with visual stimulus movement for the two to be associated. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors would like to extend special thanks to Xuan Wu for his help in preparing the experiments and in the data analysis. ...

We contextualise the work by introducing a typology of approaches to iconicity in language. ...
While speculations on form–meaning resemblances in language go back millennia, the experimental study of iconicity is only about a century old. ...
While much work in this domain has focused on the learning advantages of iconic words, Laing shows that onomatopoeia -defined as forms that imitate sounds from the environment -play facilitatory roles ...
