Réalité des idéophones anglais (phonesthèmes) : propositions dans le cadre d’une approche de linguistique cognitive
Drawing on key concepts of so-called ‘cognitive’ linguistics, I suggest that there exists a conceptual coherence within each of three heuristically constituted word classes (‘bl- / kn- / sk- words’).

This study could thus provide evidence of the reality of phonæsthemes, whose existence is a much debated issue among linguists. |
