This paper explores modern word embeddings in the context of sound symbolism. Using basic properties of the representations space one can construct semantic axes. A method is proposed to measure if the presence of individual sounds in a given word shifts its semantics of that word along a specific axis. It is shown that, in accordance with several experimental and statistical results, word embeddings capture symbolism for certain sounds. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyr bul shchyl 1 We also want to explicitly state that we do not see any reason why other embeddings that to a certain extent support semantic arithmetic can not be used for this task.
