'Echo words' refer to words that imitate sounds or use reduplication, producing an acoustic echo effect (e.g., onomatopoeia, reduplicative words: ding-dong, gurgling, rumble). Sound symbolism aids memory and evokes sensory imagery, making information more acceptable.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/4

Practice this model in one real situation:

Consciously use reduplication or onomatopoeia in naming, teaching, or communication to reinforce impressions
use phonetic echoes to enhance rhythm and memory
but avoid excessive piling that harms semantic clarity
distinguish between 'pleasant-sounding' and 'useful'.
