N2 - It is claimed that the most natural environment for experimental phonosemantic studiesis that of the minimal text in the respondents’ native language with the use of real(native or foreign) lexis in its sound form. The claim is based on the idea that iflanguage is viewed as the tool for cognition and communication, then its units,including iconic ones, realize their functions in all their entirety exclusively in a verbal(originally oral) context, while iconic non-language vocalizations or pseudowords serveonly as evidence of such psycho-physiological phenomena as synesthesia andsynesthemia. The results of the perceptual experiment with English and Russianspeakers seem to point to the validity of the claim. Key words: phonosemantics,natural language units, linguistic context.
