This repository includes data and materials for a series of studies into sound symbolism and category structure. This project is reported in the following Open Access article:
Ković V, Sučević J and Styles SJ (2017). To call a cloud 'cirrus': Sound symbolism in names for categories or items. PeerJ, 5(e3466), 1-18. [https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.3466][1]

With these materials you can:
• replicate/check our existing analysis
• do your own exploratory analysis to test a different hypothesis
• replicate the main experiment, using our Superlab Code or re-implementing in another platform.
• use these normed stimuli in new experiments with different designs.
The collection includes the new Vincasso visual stimuli, designed for research into sound symbolism and category structure - along with full norms for each image's angularity and complexity. Audio recordings of Sound-symbolic words-forms in Serbian are provided with with summary acoustic analyses. We also include full data from the original series of experiments, and the original experimental Code in Superlab format.
