karla 🦇 :
my anecdotal comment on the sound symbolism thing: the amount of times my Japanese exchange student and I would compare onomatopoeias and be shocked how different sounding they were would also make me think this is a reach

not a linguistics study but pokemon has also been used to help further understand how children's brains learn to categorize and remember specific things! its a Stanford study from 2019

Does the fact that there are effectively hints in a good number of Pokémon’s names influence the study at all? Genuine question

Small note to whoever edits these. Happiny is not a fairy type. A better option for that graphic probably would have been Cleffa or Igglybuff

I'm curious now: while we associate /p/ and /b/ sounds with fairy-types, how many fairy Pokémon have those sounds? it might be a stretch...

random assortment of numbers :
happiny is normal but with the amount of normal types that got turned into fairy types, it wouldn't be surprising to see some overlap

Figured this would be a good place to ask- does anyone know anything about linguistic differences/accents in Canada? I have to choose something to research about Canada and want to do language
