Abstract

Onomatopoeia is a linguistic phenomenon where words imitate natural sounds, such as the ringing of bells or the chirping of birds, creating a sound that reflects the meaning. This article explores the relationship between onomatopoeia and arbitrariness, focusing on how poets incorporate onomatopoeic words into literature. It also examines the reasons behind poets’ use of these words and the methods they employ. The study concludes that onomatopoeia is a fascinating phenomenon present in all languages, with new examples emerging regularly as new objects and inventions are created. Additionally, poets utilize onomatopoeia to engage the reader’s auditory sense and to craft vivid and harmonious soundscapes.

Keywords

оnomatopoeia, arbitrariness, linguistic signs, sound symbolism, echoic words, primary onomatopoeia, secondary onomatopoeia, phonetic sequences, iconicity, imitative sounds.
