metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article discusses the results of a psycholinguistic experiment that is part of a
  broader study of iconicity in fictional languages. The research is carried out in accordance
  with the ideas of St Petersburg School of Phonosemantics, founded by
  S. V. Voronin, which asserts the presence, in many cases, of both universal and specific
  non-conventional correspondence between the sound form and the semantics
  of linguistic units. Iconic words of fictional languages, selected in the course of phonosemantic
  analysis, were presented to the participants in their sound form. The
  subjects had to choose the most appropriate meaning for the sound complexes from
  the contrasting meanings offered in the questionnaire. These constituted designations
  of size, shape, sound, etc, which are characteristic of i conic language signs. The
  respondents were native speakers of Russian and English. The survey was conducted
  remotely. The analysis of the data obtained shows that the respondents react to the
  word-stimuli in accordance with their universal iconic properties, and the speakers
  of both non-closely related languages demonstrate similar reactions. In 17 out of
  20 cases, they were able to choose the meaning originally conceived by the author
  of the fictional language. The respondents’ correct choices embrace both the designations
  of acoustic events and the sound-symbolic names of physiological processes
  and non-acoustic properties of the signified. Thus, the hypothesis about the non-random
  selection of sound forms for the transmission of meanings by authors of fictional
  languages is confirmed, and this, apparently, is determined by the universal iconic
  properties of linguistic systems. Refs 33.
