The metaphor function of sound is an extension of the simile function and ideally should communicate so effectively that the sound enters common usage (i.e. become dead metaphors). Something that can be correctly interpreted more quickly than equivalent speech.

Contains a critique of other iconic taxonomies including Gaver and Blattner et al. (Gaver 1986; Blattner, Sumikawa, & Greenberg 1989). The suggestion is that they fail in distinguishing between sign and referent relations. The authors propose a taxonomy including:


  • Direct reference: Signal ----> Sign Referent/Denotative Referent (identical referents).
  • Indirect reference: Signal ---->Sign Referent ----> Denotative Referent.

The referent relation (between Sign and Denotative referents) can be:


  • Part-part: S and D share a subset of features.
  • Part-whole: all the features of S are a subset of D.
  • Whole-part: all the features of D are a subset of S.
  • Identical: S and D have the same set features.
  • Disjoint: S and D have no features in common.

based on commonalities (or not) between feature sets of S and D. The most common signs are part-part and part-whole.
