Abstract
This article reviews the perception and production of the corporeal and imitative sound symbolism in an educational institution in Bogota. The first type of sound symbolism is considered as the result of using the ability to express an emotional or physical state through sounds classified, in general terms, as the category of interjections. The imitative sound symbolism is the outcome of the production of onomatopoeic words whose meaning represents different similarity degrees of ambient sound. Data were obtained by means of writing production surveys and perception tests applied to 124 male and female adolescents from high school levels, especially, ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics measurements with Student's t and Fisher tests. It was found that the most influential language in the use of unduplicated forms in corporeal sound symbolism is English, particularly, in production tests. In Spanish, there is a greater use of monosyllables to produce and perceive representations of feelings and sensations. The results in the category of imitative sound symbolism showed that the majority of men prefer the use of unduplicated forms, while women tend to use the monosyllable quite often, both in English and Spanish. This shows that social variables are of great importance due to these showed significant contrasts in this study.
