| Abstract | The "gleam-glum effect" is a novel sound symbolic finding that words with the /i:/-phoneme (like "gleam") are perceived more positive emotionally than matched words with the /[open-mid back unrounded vowel]/-phoneme (like "glum"). We provide data that not only confirm the effect but also are consistent with an explanation that /i:/ and /[open-mid back unrounded vowel]/ articulation tend to co-occur with activation of positive versus negative emotional facial musculature respectively. Three studies eliminate selection bias by including all applicable English words from the English Lexicon Project (Balota et al., 2007) and the Warriner et al. (2013) database and every possible Mandarin Pinyin combination that differ only in the middle phoneme (/i:/ vs /[open-mid back unrounded vowel]/). In Study 1, 61 U.S. undergraduates rated monosyllabic English /i:/ words as robustly more positive than matched /[open-mid back unrounded vowel]/ words. Study 2 analyzed the Warriner et al. (2013) valence ratings, extending the "gleam-glum effect" to all applicable words in the database. In Study 3, 38 U.S. participants (using English) and 37 participants in China (using Mandarin Pinyin) rated word pairs under three conditions that moderate musculature activity: Read aloud ("Enhance"), read silently ("Control"), and read silently while chewing gum ("Interfere"). Indeed, the effect was both replicated and was significantly larger when facial musculature was enhanced than when interfered with, and the two language populations did not significantly differ. These findings confirm a robust "gleam-glum effect," despite semantic noise, in English and Mandarin Pinyin. Furthermore, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that this type of sound symbolism arises from the overlap in muscles used both in articulation and emotion expression. (As Provided). |
