Abstract
The mimetic stratum in Japanese exhibits unique phonological behavior unique within Japanese.
Previous studies have examined the sound symbolic correlates as it pertains to relative positional values
and phonemic values in the semantic tier within a given mimetic word. I wish to propose a moraic
approach to phenomena witnessed in the phonological tier which I believe gives greater insight into the
multi-dimensional complexities of the mimetic stratum in Japanese.
