Language: Linguistics · Semiotics · Speech
In functional-cognitive linguistics, iconicity is the conceived similarity or analogy between a form of language and its meaning.
Iconic principles:
- Quantity principle: formal complexity corresponds to conceptual complexity
- Proximity principle: conceptual distance tends to match with linguistic distance
- Sequential order principle: the sequential order of events described is mirrored in the speech chain
Iconic coding principles are natural tendencies in language and are also part of our cognitive and biological make-up.
