About This Item

Oxford University Press, USA. 1996. Hardcover. UsedVery Good. Hardcover; light fading, light shelf wear to exterior; otherwise contents i n very good condition with clean text, firm binding. Dust jacket, fading an d shelf wear. Product Description All languages feature sound symbolism, wh ich occurs when the form of a linguistic utterance resembles in some way wh at it describes or refers to. Onomatopoeic words, such as thump and whack, are a couple of examples from English. For English speakers and other weste rners, however, sound symbolism is relegated to whimsical styles of speech and writing. In Sounds Like Life, Janis Nuckolls argues that sound symbolis m is integrated with the grammar of Pastaza Quechua, a dialect spoken in ea stern Ecuador. .
