| Abstract(in English) | Linguistic synaesthesia is pervasive but under-studied. Expressions such as "sweet voice", "tall talk", "short-sighted" and "sharp-tongue" are used everyday. And in Chinese, the basic verb 聞 "to smell" for olfractory sense in fact is derived from the auditary sense, as attested by the use of the ear radical 耳. In this paper, I will summarize ourrecent work on linguistic synaesthesia in Chinese by showing some tendencies that are different from what has been described in past studies in English. In particular, I will discuss that, given the nature of synaesthesia being mapping from one sense domain to another sense domain, whether it can be described as a kind of metaphor (which typically map from concrete to abstract domains based on embodiment); as well as the implications on this study may have implication for both computational studies of figurative language and for neuro-cognitive studies of cross-modal cognitive mapping and its function. |
