Research of onomatopoeia in Permic languages: problems and perspectives. Article third

The planned series of works consists of three articles devoted to the research of sound iconicity in the Permic languages. In the third article the possible ways and prospects of development of phonosemantical research (universal (typology), grammatical, psycholinguistic and etymologic phonosemantics) in Permistics are determined. The primary approaches to the universal typology of onomatopoeia of the Permic languages worked out by S.V.Voronin are offered; the display of Sound Symbolism is shown at the grammatical level; the processes of loss of language sign motivation, its denaturalisations are considered on the example of the Komi-Permyak words лов "soul", гуран "fossula, rut, low-laying area, cavity, ravine, deepening", боболь "bogey, goblin", suffix -вöр (a komi is the вöр "forest") with the semantics of collectiveness, etc.
