Verbal explanations even if they are sometimes redundant exist because they let usconfirm the sense of folding. However language is not omnipotent either. Verbal explanations of folding proceduresof a crane for example perhaps do not make sense for many of us without diagrams. This is because language in its nature bears too much information the most amount of which is onlyredundant. In figure 5 the different uses of onomatopoeia in the two pictures give uscompletely different interpretations.
