I was also glad to see your interest in the great topic of ideophones, and I was going to mention that there was a student working with Quichua ideophones to my colleague Mark Dingemanse (he's three offices down from me) until I saw on the comments that you two have already discovered your shared mutual love of ideophony. Anyway, on one of the posts you mention that you missed talking to other research-minded folks while in the field - there is a handful of linguists/anthropologists working with Ecuadorian indigenous languages and we sometimes meet up in Ecuador (or elsewhere, at conferences and such) so if you are going ahead with more research you might find some of that kind of networking useful.

But, that aside, I'm glad I stumbled across your blog. Ideophones are all over the place in India - it can even be argued that much of the Vedic scripture and mantra recitation is ideophonic, as by their own attestation they contain the sound-essence of religious truths. Many mantras have no direct meaning or translation, but are thought to sonically invoke the deity or cosmic force. I'll be paying more attention to everyday colloquial ideophone usage now...Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980360620230379104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167286824441717563.post-33347013177607792872012-07-22T02:14:57.094-07:002012-07-22T02:14:57.094-07:00Cool to read these updates.

I blogged about ideophones being used in writing (a newspaper) and in a "Western" language (Ghanaian English) a while back — see <a href="http://ideophone.org/under-the-spell-of-ideophones/" rel="nofollow">"Under the spell of ideophones"</a>.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202024581059703492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167286824441717563.post-88987685746290153622012-07-18T12:17:08.567-07:002012-07-18T12:17:08.567-07:00Thanks for the support Jen.

But now I know for myself. This is fascinating, and I'm so glad you took notes of the instances you heard these ideophones being used. Well I at least feel your pain on the comprehension front, since I understand about 20-60% of what's being said to me depending on who is speaking when I want to be understanding 150%. Which is possible you know, understanding not just what someone is saying but what they MEAN. It's a frustrating road-block. [Insert motivational (but not patronizing) encouragement here.] Can't wait to hear more about your studies!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692644516431682502noreply@blogger.com
