Tabatabai, Saleh & Golfam, Arsalan (2024). Namādpardāzī āvāyī az manzar-i zabānshināsī shinākhtī [Sound symbolism: A cognitive linguistic perspective]. Tehran: Logos Publications. ISBN: 9786225613089

Sound symbolism has been known since Plato wrote in his Cratylus about conventionality and arbitrariness of nomenclature. However, the empirical research on sound symbolism began nearly a century ago. Since then, a variety of studies have been done, but no clear answers have yet been given to the questions that Edward Sapir, the American linguist, first posed about the nature of the phenomenon: Are either acoustic factors of sounds, or kinesthetic articulatory factors (or even a combination of both) involved in its occurrence? And if there is a combination of factors, which of them contributes to it more? The book aims for the first time to answer these key questions to make it clear which cognitive foundations the phenomenon may rely on.
