"AI" image-generation software has led to an explosion of iconicity in certain domains: companies who couldn't (or didn't want) to hire a professional illustrator now sport heaps of hyper-detailed images on their social media accounts and storefronts. For example: food services (up to a certain degree). #observation #iconicity #image #generation #semiotics #company #urbanLandscape

With Floris Roelofsen and Beyza Sumer, we explored how different groups of raters perceive iconicity in #DutchSignLanguage (#NGT). We showed that deaf participants with and hearing participants without signing skills differed in their understanding of #iconicity across iconicity rating and a transparency task, while the linguistic and cultural differences between hearing Dutch and German raters hardly influenced their perceptions of iconicity.

New preprint! Triangulating iconicity, with Stella Punselie & Bonnie McLean (Uppsala) https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/z9a4e
We combine three ways of looking at the iconicity of 239 #ideophones from 5 languages: (i) coding structural correspondences between form and meaning; (ii) collecting subjective iconicity ratings, and (iii) relating these to performance in guessing tasks. Triangulation contributes to an empirically grounded, theoretically informed, experimentally robust understanding of #iconicity.

Having fun with logical types
Four years since this paper came out. We did it as a side project so the epigraph is doubly apposite
We investigated the utility of vector-based distributional semantics for lexical norm imputation — and cautioned against uncritical use. Today I see people using LLMs to do this and our caution still holds: "Norm imputation can distort rating scales and can amplify rating artefacts"

In our latest paper (now online), written in collaboration with Oksana Kanerva, we examined the effect of iconicity on recognition of onomatopoeic words (e.g., bang, crash). Such words depict sounds and indicate action connected to these sounds. Iconicity, for one, refers to the relationship between word form and meaning of words. The more iconic the word is, the more it resembles the sound in question.

'The maluma/takete effect is late' :OpenAccess: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0287831 by David Sidhu and many others — a set of well-designed experiments with infants at 4, 8, 12mo finds no evidence for sound symbolic sensitivity at an early age (as we suspected, see https://doi.org/10.1177/0023830920914339 ). More evidence for the role of learning & linguistic experience in #iconicity #SoundSymbolism

Beautiful paper by @c_borstell on iconic plurality across languages. I particularly like the way the diagrams make visible cross-modal similarities and differences in reduplicative strategies across signed and spoken languages https://borstell.github.io/pdfs/borstell_iconic_plurality_across_modalities.pdf #iconicity

Very interesting to see new empirical work on iconicity and word learning in languages other than English — here, Turkish, which, like Japanese, has a sizable stock of iconic expressions https://doi.org/10.1080/10489223.2023.2257177 #iconicity

New blog: consolidating iconicity research — on a serendipitous bouquet of 3 new #iconicity papers https://ideophone.org/consolidating-iconicity-research/
🧵1/n The papers stem from different collaborations (Birmingham, Uppsala and Hong Kong), had very different timelines, and yet in a neat coincidence they all came out this month, allowing me to highlight some of the complementary theoretical and methodological contributions.
Work with @Thomastodont and many non-fedi authors — thanks for reading!
