DOI: 10.1037/xge0000499
Abstract: The arbitrary relation between sound and meaning is a fundamental assumption of modern linguistic theory. However, psycholinguistic literature also reports evidence for iconicity of phonological symbols. Here, we focus on phonological iconicity or sound–meaning mappings… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.12551
Abstract: Most research on the mechanisms underlying referential mapping has assumed that learning occurs in ostensive contexts, where label and referent co-occur, and that form and meaning are linked by arbitrary convention alone. In the present… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2019.00374
Abstract: Sign languages are natural languages in the visual domain. Because they lack a written form, they provide a sharper tool than spoken languages for investigating lexicality effects which may be confounded by orthographic processing. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1032029
Abstract: Transferred epithet can be regarded as a reflection of semantic markedness since the modifier and the modified conflict with each other and lead to semantic deviation; yet the corresponding processing mechanism is less studied. The… read more here.
