And when you say 'pin' you don't have to open your mouth wide, so it contains closed vowel and is associated to the pointed shape. <br /><br />It's just a theory and is not applicable to any situation. for more detail, you can check out the following link. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconicity#cite_note-Nuckolls_1999_230.2C_231.2C_246-10Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797157094889112118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442936265602237642.post-36261890084600703662013-07-05T04:07:37.574-07:002013-07-05T04:07:37.574-07:00I also ended up here by googling for visual onomat...I also ended up here by googling for visual onomatopoeia, after realising that the word 'awkward' is all elbows and knees.Ben XOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633071314664691387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442936265602237642.post-64130882849142807342012-12-29T17:54:45.791-08:002012-12-29T17:54:45.791-08:00I was just writing a note to a friend who had a ma...I was just writing a note to a friend who had a mastectomy followed by breast reconstruction, and I realized that the word 'boob' could be a visual onomatopoeia.
