这篇文章展示了语音象似性在自动文本分析中的潜力。这项研究声称，至少在诗歌语言中，文本中爆破音与鼻音的比例预测了读者感知到的情感基调;也就是说，具有相对较高频率的爆破音的诗歌更有可能表达高激活的愉快情绪，而相对较高频率的鼻音则表示低激活的不愉快情绪。此外，这些发现是普遍的（即，它们独立于特定的语言或语系）。本文介绍了一个跨文化研究的结果，测试前面的假设。
This article demonstrates the potential of sound iconicity for automatic text analysis. This study claims thatat least in poetic languagethe ratio of plosive versus nasal sounds in a text predicts its emotional tone as it is perceived by readers; that is, poems that have a relatively high frequency of plosive sounds are more likely to express a pleasant mood with high activation, whereas a relatively high frequency of nasal sounds indicates an unpleasant mood with low activation. Moreover, these findings are universal (i.e., they are independent of specific languages or language families). This article presents the results of an intercultural study testing the previous hypothesis.
