Tsujimura的批评对Kita（1997）提出的两个主要问题提出了质疑。一种观点认为拟态的语义表征涉及情感-意象维度。情感-意象维度与分析维度不同，后者代表句子其余部分的语义。在这方面，我指出了Tsujimura的批评的一些问题。我还提供了Kita（1997）报告的关于标志性手势和模仿的数据的进一步细节。虽然象似手势数据只为具有空间内容的状语拟态提供了支持证据，但考虑到Kita（1997）的其他证据，我仍然认为拟态词的语义和普通词的语义应该在不同的维度上表示，尽管它们在解释过程中是一体的。Tsujimura提出的第二个问题是关于模仿如何对整体的意义做出贡献句话我同意Tsujimura的观点，将模仿物所施加的兼容性要求与经典意义上的选择性限制等同起来是没有成果的。然而，与Tsujimura相反，我仍然认为“模仿的意义”可以归因于模仿本身。此外，模仿的意义通常受到Kita（1997）概述的方式的限制。
Tsujimura's critique raises questions regarding two major issues raised by Kita (1997). One is the claim that semantic representation of mimetics involves the affecto-imagistic dimension. The affecto-imagistic dimension is distinct from the analytic dimension, where the semantics of the rest of the sentence is represented. I point out some problems with Tsujimura's criticism in this regard. I also provide further details on the data reported in Kita (1997), concerning iconic gesture and mimetics. Though the iconic-gesture data provide supporting evidence only for adverbial mimetics with spatial contents, taking other evidence in Kita (1997) into account, I still maintain that the semantics of mimetics and that of ordinary words should be represented in different dimensions, though they are integrated in the interpretation process.The second issue raised by Tsujimura concerns how a mimetic contributes to the meaning of the whole sentence. I agree with Tsujimura that it is not fruitful to equate the compatibility requirements imposed by mimetics and selectional restrictions in the classic sense. However; contrary to Tsujimura, I still maintain that the "meaning of a mimetic" can be attributed to the mimetic itself Furthermore, the meaning of mimetics is in general constrained in the way outlined in Kita (1997).
