According to Ding-dong theory, original sounds people made were supposedly in harmony with the world around them.

What is
the downside of this theory?

1/1

No, language contains many interjections.

Relatively, few words are onomatopoeic, and these words vary from one language to another.

. Apart from some rare instances of sound symbolism, there is no persuasive evidence, in any language, of an innate connection
between sound and meaning.

This theory still fails to account for the gap between emotional and the rational aspects of speech expression.
