Correlation between sound and meaning (diamonds), against distribution of 10 000 randomized sound–meaning mappings, for all words, lemmas, monomorphemes and words with no proposed common etymology. Distribution shows mean (–), first and third quartiles (box) and range (bars) of randomized mappings. Positive values for correlation indicate a systematic relationship between sound and meaning.
