Opis

This book investigates verbal synesthesia in Polish thematic blogs, proposes a new model of verbal synesthesia and argues that hierarchy of senses is not universal. The book examines synesthetic metaphors from the perspective of CMT and frame semantics and provides empirical support for metaphor embodiment and its systematicity.
