Abstract
Asher (1964) stated that his finding of a significant correlation between S's guesses and the later learning of Spanish vocabulary items suggested some support for Taylor's phonetic symbolism hypothesis, while a zero correlation of the same measure for Japanese and Russian tended to cancel confidence in the hypothesis. This note examines the above statement and concludes that Asher's findings have only an indirect relevance either to phonetic symbolism or to Taylor's hypothesis.
