Abstract:

This paper proposes a procedure for the recognition and investigation of the words of synesthetic sound-symbolic origin in etymology. Since some features of the sounds are changing according to the phonetic laws in language evolution, reduplication is considered to be the most reliable criterion in the recognition of these kinds of words. In establishing the groups of cognates between the words of sound-symbolic origin one should take into consideration their peculiar formal and semantic variation and the possibility of independent origin of words with similar forms and meanings. на светлата памет на проф.
