Common examples include the Yellowhammer's song being rendered as, 'A little bit of bread and no cheese, please, ' and the Bushcricket saying, 'Katy did, Katy didn't'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite being widespread across languages and cultures 'birdsong mnemonics' have rarely been explored and never in this depth. This ground-breaking book covers the sound imitations by bringing together 1500 examples from 62 languages. It examines what these imitations have in common and argues for the use of new terminology and classification of these examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704308330803,"sku":"9781067028671","price":39.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/3EO2WLqGeA9781067028671.webp?v=1763351836","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/warblish-chirpish-ticktocklish-animalopoeia-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
