Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper, a popular non-fiction, is an evocative memoir that traverses the rich tapestry of Sichuan cuisine, intertwining truthfulness and artistry. Fuchsia Dunlop's narrative is peppered with vivid descriptions and linguistic nuances that serve not only to convey information but also to evoke sensory experiences and emotional responses. As syntactic iconicity is a significant source of psychological and aesthetic effects in textualization, it can be seen as both a pivotal point of observation and a method of measurement in the translation of stylistically sensitive literary works. This paper aims to find out whether AI translation models are able to discern the phenomenon of syntactic iconicity, and accordingly retain this linguistic mechanism observed in the source texts so as to render stylistically sensitive translation.

“…However, recently, a number of researchers from disciplines outside of linguistics, notably Margaret Magnus in computer science have attempted to develop rigorous methodologies for the study of phonosemantic phenomena in language, methodologies which are not too dissimilar from accepted analyses from phonology (Magnus 2001). In addition, recently Altmann (2023) has done work on obstruents and perceived sound-symbolic harshness in branding, while Pericliev (2022) has looked at lexical iconicity.…”

The general public views hieroglyphs as "picture-writing". Why does this view persist after Champollion showed that the key to reading hieroglyphs is phonetic? This article argues that this misinterpretation is a historical remnant of the transmission and reception of a single text, the Hieroglyphica of Horapollo. The content of Hieroglyphica is reinterpreted as a conflation of the rebus principle with Egyptian ideas of sound symbolism. The reception of this text in the late Renaissance created the idea of a universal language as an unambiguous pictorial writing system, which has never existed for natural language. Sound
