Is there a special name in Korean for adverbs like '반짝반짝', '흔들흔들', '빙글빙글'?

There seems to be a group of 'doubled' words in Korean that often describe how something looks or moves, e.g. : 반짝반짝 - 'twinkle' or 'sparkle'<br/> 흔들흔들 - 'shake' or 'wobble'<br/> 빙글빙글 - to go round and round Is there a special name in Korean for these kind of words?<br/> (Further examples more than welcome - I really like these words!)
