Ideophones are marked words in language that iconically depict a sensory scene and reside on the boundary between conventional and iconic language. This article examines the category of ideophones in the Persian language. After defining the category as a comparative concept, its five key characteristics—being marked, being a word, being depictive, being sensory, and belonging to an open lexical class—are elaborated upon. The distinction between ideophones and similar categories such as phonaesthemes, onomatopoeia, ontophones, and interjections is clarified. Based on Akita's (2009) semantic classification, Persian ideophones are categorized into three semantic classes: phonomimes (e.g., xert-xert), phenomimes (e.g., salâne-salâne), and psychomimes (e.g., qili-vili), with examples provided from the Hamadani dialect. Grammatically, these words are used in constructions such as complex verbs (e.g., men-men kardan, 'to mumble'), adverbials of manner (e.g., salâne-salâne âmad, 'he came sauntering'), subject complements (e.g., geneh-geneh ast, 'he is finicky'), and adjectives (e.g., bârân-e peške-peške, 'drizzling rain'). Finally, the role of ideophones as a bridge between gesture and conventional language, and their significance for understanding language evolution, is discussed.
