Abstract

The article looks at the status of French onomatopoetic vocabulary. It aims to analyze the

features which distinguish between onomatopoetic units and exclamations, as well as the

approaches to classifying onomatopoetic vocabulary according to the source of echoism or

orthographic peculiarities. The authors propose to classify onomatopoetic vocabulary taking

into consideration their productivity, which can be identified by studying onomatopoetic

units representing sounds produced by human beings, animals, and birds both domestic and

wild, insects, sounds of nature, sounds produced by musical instruments, household appliances,

electric accessories along with everyday life sounds.
