Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Köhler’s (1947) classic study has shown that nonce words like takete are more likely to be associated with angular objects, whereas nonce words like maluma are more likely to be associated with round objects. Later studies generalized this finding in such a way that obstruents are associated with angular objects, whereas sonorants are associated with round objects. The present study employs the preferential looking paradigm using eye-tracking technology to examine how the knowledge of these sound symbolic associations are acquired by Japanese speakers. The results show that Köhler’s sound-symbolic associations hold not only among adult speakers, but also among 6-year-olds who have not attended elementary school, and even more strikingly, among 2-3-year-olds.
