Visualization of similarity relationships by onomatopoeia thesaurus map

摘要

Onomatopoeia refers to words that represent the sound, appearance, or voice of things, which makes it possible to create expressions that bring a scene to life in a subtle fashion. In this study, we propose an onomatopoeia thesaurus map to enable the construction of a map that visually confirms "similarity relationships between a number of onomatopoetic words" and "similarity relationships between unknown onomatopoetic words and existing onomatopoetic words", which are difficult to grasp from a conventional thesaurus. It is also possible to label objects with onomatopoetic words and visualize the similarity relationships between the objects on a map. In this paper, we introduce an example of labeling onomatopoetic words relating to the textures of sweets (desserts).
