在医疗采访中，日本患者经常使用拟声词，如“zuki-zuki”和“chiku-chiku”来表达疼痛症状和医疗状况。然而，拟声词表现出跨语言的变化，因此日语拟声词不能有效地用于表达疼痛症状的医疗采访与外国医生谁不会说日语。在本研究中，我们开发了一个系统，支持日本患者和外国医生之间的沟通，把拟声评价系统的医疗用途。我们的系统根据某些拟声词表达的声音象征意义来估计疼痛和其他医疗条件的质量。通过心理学实验获得了声音符号属性与等级量表之间的关系。在实验中，120名被试对354个用于表达疼痛症状和医疗状况的日语拟声词的心理图像进行了评估，并使用了35个语义差异（SD）量表，如“尖锐-迟钝”、“强-弱”和“瞬间-连续”。“我们的系统接受用户输入的任何日语拟声词表达，也可以对任何新颖的拟声词表达作出反应。如果将这些量表翻译成各种语言，全世界的外国医生都能理解日语拟声词的含义。
In medical interviews, Japanese patients often use onomatopoeia, such as 'zuki-zuki' and 'chiku-chiku,' to express pain symptoms and medical conditions. However, onomatopoeia shows cross-linguistic variation, and thus Japanese onomatopoeia cannot be used effectively to express pain symptoms in medical interviews with foreign doctors who do not speak Japanese. In this study, we developed a system that supports communication between Japanese patients and foreign doctors by putting an onomatopoeia evaluation system to medical use. Our system estimates the quality of pain and other medical conditions based on the sound symbolic meanings expressed by certain onomatopoetic expressions. The relationships between the sound symbolic properties and rating scales were obtained through psychological experiments in which 120 participants evaluated the mental images of 354 Japanese onomatopoeia terms used to express pain symptoms and medical conditions against 35 semantic differential (SD) scales such as "sharp-dull," "strong-weak," and "momentary-continuous." Our system accepts any Japanese onomatopoetic expression input by users and can also respond to any novel onomatopoetic expression. If the rating scales were translated into various languages, foreign doctors all over the world would be able to understand the meaning of Japanese onomatopoeia.
