** Phenomimes and psychomimes are used in similar ways to onomatopoeia. In contrast to onomatopoeia, they give respectively uttered expressions to phenomena and mental states that do NOT necessarily make a sound. Similarly to onomatopoeia, speakers of a language share meanings of certain phenomimes and psychomimes, while sometimes they invent one's peculiar phenomimes and psychomimes.
** How do I invent a phenomime or a psychomime? Just like giving a piece of background music to a scene of a drama, call to mind a piece of sound suitable to a phenomenon or a mental state; convert it to a string of phonemes; in Lojban, utter it just after {tai'i} or {ci'oi}; that's it.
** It may happen that a distinction between a phenomime, a psychomime and an onomatopoeia is vague. In this case, use {tai'i}: it is defined as a broader term than {ci'oi} and {sa'ei}. -- Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:03:48 +0900, guskant
* Problem is, there are no neutral or Lojban-only onomatopoeia for things. -- Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:08:00 -0700 (PDT), la .lindar.
** That's right. However, it sometimes happens that even Japanese listeners don't understand the meanings of phemomimes, psychomimes and onomatopoeia used by a Japanese speaker. These words do not independently convey precise meanings to the listeners. If a speaker wants to reduce vagueness of the meanings of them, it is indispensable to accompany them with content words. -- Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:03:48 +0900, guskant *********************************************************** The new page content follows below. *********************************************************** !!Nepali, Korean and Japanese languages have many phenomimes and psychomimes. * [http://notesfromtheemeraldvalley.blogspot.jp/2011/02/to-kill-fish.html|Examples in Nepali] * [http://raggedsign.blogs.com/caveatdumptruck/2011/01/caveat-phenomimes-and-psychomimes.html|Examples in Korean] * Examples in Japanese are found in mangas.
