Motivation du lexique en bengali : onomatopées et autres termes expressifs

Résumé 0

Well-known for its poetry, Bengali deserves our attention for several other specific items, such as onomatopœia, or word-formation “by imitation of natural sounds associated with the act or object to be denoted”, as defines The Penguin English Dictionary ; or else, other expressive terms where “choice of words whose sound fits their sense”. Out of a Corpus of 1680 examples gleaned by the author, out of reliable Bengali dictionaries, adding several more from memory of the spoken language, he is grateful to Mme Anne Szulmajster-Celnikier – as we mention later – who has provided her architechtonics of the subject thanks to her familiarity with the theories dear to Professors André Martinet and Claude Hagège.
