Languages consistently display sound symbolic effects. In our study we expand size-related sound symbolic research to German and Hungarian, languages with both rounded and unrounded high front vowels as well as/ø/, so that we can separate the effect of lip rounding and vowel backness. Our subjects had to rate artificial words with CVCVCV structure. For analysis we used crossed random effect models in a way that is novel in this field. Results confirm previous findings: voiced consonants and back vowels are perceived to be larger. Additionally, we show that lip rounding increases size.

重新审视大小的声音-德国与匈牙利关于声音象征意义的比较研究的新见解

语言始终显示声音的符号效果。在我们的研究中，我们将与尺寸相关的声音符号研究扩展到德语和匈牙利语，以及带有圆角和不圆角的高位元音以及/ø/的语言，以便我们可以区分唇圆角和元音背面的影响。我们的受试者必须对具有CVCVCV结构的人工词进行评分。为了进行分析，我们使用交叉随机效应模型，这在该领域是新颖的。结果证实了先前的发现：浊音辅音和后元音被认为较大。此外，我们显示出嘴唇圆角会增加大小。
