Abstract: Sound symbolic words consist of inevitable associations between sounds and meanings. We aimed to identify differences in familiarity, visual imageability, auditory imageability, tactile imageability, emotional valence, and arousal between Japanese sound symbolic words with voiced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jretconser.2019.06.016
Abstract: Abstract This investigation seeks to demonstrate that matches between the observable size of a retail store and the size-sound symbolism in the store's name can lead to higher consumer willingness-to-pay (WTP), moderated by store size.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.1717
Abstract: Humans share the ability to intuitively map ‘sharp’ or ‘round’ pseudowords, such as ‘bouba’ versus ‘kiki’, to abstract edgy versus round shapes, respectively. This effect, known as sound symbolism, appears early in human development. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/toh.2016.2615923
Abstract: Several pairs of Japanese adjective words pertaining to material's properties, such as roughness and hardness, have been used in Japanese studies to quantitatively evaluate variations in tactile sensations. This method asks observers to analyze their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12474
Abstract: Although language has long been regarded as a primarily arbitrary system, sound symbolism, or non-arbitrary correspondences between the sound of a word and its meaning, also exists in natural language. Previous research suggests that listeners… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.12659
Abstract: Adults and toddlers systematically associate pseudowords such as "bouba" and "kiki" with round and spiky shapes, respectively, a sound symbolic phenomenon known as the "bouba-kiki effect". To date, whether this sound symbolic effect is a… read more here.
