Awesome innovative #ideophone compound just witnessed in Japanese. The caption says my legs are shaking gakuburu gakuburu, which is a combination of two ideophones, gakugaku (sound of shaky legs, e.g. knees knocking) and buruburu (depicting a shaking movement). Love it! 😍🐶🌨️

Reading a review paper on abstract concepts. Very surprised to read colour-emotion associations are apparently found to be stable across cultures. So I check the study they cite of 30 "nations" (weird choice of unit). Look at the language family column, and also the double counting of languages
