Summary
Perception of speech is one of the most fascinating attributes of human behavior, because both the auditory periphery and higher centers help define the parameters of sound perception (Pisoni, 1985). As it is known, the sounds of speech do not have their own meaning, but are used to distinguish words. The use of onomatopoeic words in the works is shown in examples from the first volume of the epos “Manas” (Kongyratbay et al, 2014). Root onomatopoeic words (Monaghan et al, 2014) most often appear in the form of monosyllabic complexes consisting of two-, three-sound closed syllables
