초록

This paper investigates biases of Korean sound-meaning associations, i.e., sound symbolisms, using Pokémon data. The statistical analysis confirms significant correlations between the properties of Pokémons and the following factors in the Korean names: the number of syllables, and the ratio of the number of positive vowels, tense consonants, round vowels and nasal coda consonants to the number of syllables. This study reaffirms the well-known Korean sound symbolic effects. The sound symbolism of the phonological strategies used in aegyo expressions (i.e., baby-talk register expressions) is also confirmed in the data from a virtual world created in a different culture. In addition, both counting cumulativity and gang-up cumulativity of the Korean sound symbolism are found in the current study.

Abstract

This paper investigates biases of Korean sound-meaning associations, i.e., sound symbolisms, using Pokémon data. The statistical analysis confirms significant correlations between the properties of Pokémons and the following factors in the Korean names: the number of syllables, and the ratio of the number of positive vowels, tense consonants, round vowels and nasal coda consonants to the number of syllables. This study reaffirms the well-known Korean sound symbolic effects. The sound symbolism of the phonological strategies used in aegyo expressions (i.e., baby-talk register expressions) is also confirmed in the data from a virtual world created in a different culture. In addition, both counting cumulativity and gang-up cumulativity of the Korean sound symbolism are found in the current study.
