Abstract: (2426 Views)
As one of the most significant linguistic issues, The theory of the origin of language has resulted in a number of attitudes and ideas throughout the history. The scientists, philosphers and liguists of different nations are stated their points of view individually by making use of reasoning as the proof to their claims. This, in return, has led to ideas such as:Language as inspiration, signification as intrinsic, language as conventional, language as artistic creation and language as a reflex.
The tangibility and naturalness of the relation between the signifier and the signified in onomatopoeia, an in a way support the theory that signification is innate and intrisic.
In this article we have tried to introduce the different types of onomatopoeia and their use in language.
