	Japanese Language Onomatopoeia
		Onomatopoeia is "the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it" or "the use of words whose sound suggests the sense" (yourDictionary.com Quick Lookup).
		In addition to those onomatopoeia which imitate the sounds of nature, called gisei-go in Japanese, Japanese recognizes two additional types of onomatopoeia: one that basically suggests states of the external world (gitai-go), and another that basically names internal mental conditions and sensations (gijoo-go).
		The fact that whole dictionaries consisting of so-called Japanese onomatopoeia, gisei-go, gitai-go, and gijoo-go, exist testifies to the fact that many of these expressions are equally opaque and require interpretation to the Japanese themselves.

	What is Onomatopoeia?
		As such, onomatopoeia is a rhetorical device: a language technique or device used to create an effect in or for the reader.
		Onomatopoeia differs from cacophony, the intentional use of harsh sound for effect, as well as from euphony, the use of harmonious sounds, also for effect, although onomatopoeia may, depending on the item or action being imitated, fit into either of those categories.
		Some musical onomatopoeia is associated with specific music instruments — the twang of a banjo or guitar, for example, or oompah for a tuba, or plunk for a keyboard.

	Onomatopoeia and the Power of Naming
		Onomatopoeia means the "formation of a word that sounds like its referent, as buzz, crack, cuckoo." [AHD] Onomatopoeia is composed from the Greek words onoma, "name," and poiein, "to make." [ibid.] The word’s adoption from Greek immediately helps explain its odd sound and appearance: onomatopoeia is a technical term.
		That’s the case with onomatopoeia; it’s a term from the study of rhetoric.
		However rhetorically, but not at all moot, words that sound like their referents are powerful because, in addition to the usual image that good speaking or writing provides, onomatopoetic words give an image a sonic element as well.
