Summary note

"This is the very first publication mapping onomatopoeia in the languages of the world. The book provides a comprehensive, multi-level description of onomatopoeia in the world's languages. Each language-descriptive chapter specifies phonological, morphological, word-formation, semantic, and syntactic properties of onomatopoeia in the particular language as well as the place and the function of onomatopoeia in the system of each language."--Back cover.
