    Annotation This paper examines the iconicity of the semantic group of English words that indicate brightness. The study's word corpus was derived from Roget's Thesaurus and reduced to 77 lexemes through additional in-depth etymological analysis. The analysis's conclusions indicated that phonemes like /b/, /l/, and /g/ contribute to the way the English language expresses luminosity. Subsequent investigation showed that the initial phonaesthemes bl-, fl-, and gl- and the concept of luminosity were correlated exactly. Additionally, the study demonstrated the value of using an experimental data statistical method to obtain trustworthy estimates of the distribution of a discrete random variable in order to study the iconicity of English words.
    Keywords English Text; English Language; Luminosity.
