Ideophonic Echo-Words And Prosaic Dvandva Compounds In Korean And Japanese

This dataset contains ideophonic echo-words and prosaic dvandva compounds in Korean and Japanese. For Korean data, 118 echo-words and 64 dvandva compounds are extracted from a written corpus of 29,015 Korean ideophones (http://www.hangeul.pe.kr/symbol/words.htm) and Jung’s (1991) comprehensive study on Korean compounds, respectively. For Japanese data, 98 echo-words are compiled from seven ideophonic studies (Ono 2007; Hida and Asada 2002; Yamaguchi 2003; Kakehi et al. 1996; Amanuma 1974; Asano 1978; Hamano 2014), and 107 dvandva compounds are taken from Hayata’s (1977) list of Japanese compounds. <strong>Reference</strong> Amanuma, Yasushi. ed. 1974. <em>Giongo/gitaigo jiten</em> [A dictionary of mimetic words].
