Talk:Ideophone

To-do list for Ideophone:	edit · history · watch · refresh
Clean up 'Examples' section and add sensible and diverse examples (but not too much) Add more basic references More context (more history, some psycholinguistics) Some examples should be given earlier in the article Terminology. Mention the various terms used to refer to this phenomenon. A start: ideophone (mostly African) • psychomime (mostly Japanese) • onomatopoeia (a subset of iodeophones) • psychomorph (Maduka 2001) • expressive vocabulary (Balto-Finnic) • expresseme (Slavic) • verbal image. I think ideophones is the preferred term since the Voelt & Kilian-Hatz (2001) volume. Last update: — mark ✎ 11:05, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
