The book deals with the synesthetic metaphors in Synamet - a
semantically and grammatically annotated corpus. The texts included
in the corpus are excerpted from blogs devoted to, among others,
perfume, wine, beer, music, art, massage and wellness. The thesis
presents a Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and frame-based
analysis of synesthetic metaphors in Polish. Using data from the
corpus, the book provides ample empirical support for embodiment in
metaphor and internal logic of mappings between frames. The study
proposes new models of verbal synesthesia in the corpus and calls
into question a universality of hierarchy of senses. This book
should be of interest to researchers working within cognitive
linguistics, in particular metaphor theory, frame semantics, corpus
linguistics, and sensory science.
