Summary/Abstract: Phonetic variability is one of the most significant features of soundsymbolic words. It is one of the reasons for the difficult and even impossible determination of the boundaries of the etymological nests of this kind of words. The paper argues that phonetic variability of sound-symbolic words is predetermined by their specific neurolinguistic status to be a function of the right hemisphere of the brain, by their nature as iconic signs, their functional properties, pragmatic and structural features.
