English is a very onomatopoeic language and perfectly suited to poetry.
Cuckoo and chiffchaff are perhaps the best known examples of onomatopoeic bird names.
During the same period, onomatopoeic terms, proper names and interactive terms (words with social or pragmatic function) decreased significantly.
However, do they have other significances; mimetic (onomatopoeic) for example?
We must also bear in mind that by excluding all onomatopoeic expressions and reduplicative child words from the analysis we inescapably leave something essential behind.
In this view, most day-to-day representations would be something like onomatopoeic symbols - with both perceptual and nonperceptual aspects.
Onomatopoeic terms form the only exception to this, as their proportion does not undergo a significant change.
