Glossary

The manga onomatopoeia and mimesis glossary currently contains 1487 translation pairings arranged alphabetically by source text (ST) term into 998 database entries. For reference citations, including the page numbers from the respective source and target texts, hover your mouse cursor over the asterix (*) next to each TT entry. Full bibliographic information for each text is listed in the bibliography, and corpus information as well as some preliminary analytical data regarding the terms and strategies is available on the statistics page.

A note on transcription: The ST terms have been transcribed into the Latin alphabet using the 'wapuro' method to falicitate the data entry and digital management processes. In cases where the small 'tsu' character (glottal stop: ッ/っ) appears at the end of the word, it has been represented with an exclamation mark (!).
Additionally, please note that you must have Asian script support installed on your computer in order to view the Japanese transcription for each entry.
