Since the emergence of cognitive linguistics in the 1980s, metaphor
has been regarded as one of the fundamental areas of language and
cognition. Nevertheless, few empirical studies have focused on
synesthetic metaphors, which involve transfer from one sensory
domain to another. This study provides a theoretical and empirical
analysis of synesthetic metaphors for sound such as bright sound
and sharp voice. Corpus analysis of literary works shows that
synesthetic metaphors are similar in English and Japanese. However,
some differences exist in the types of linguistic expressions that
accompany the metaphors (e.g., onomatopoeia) and the aspects of
sounds that are described (e.g., sound source). Based on the
experimental data involving three different types of sounds -
environmental sounds, music, and speech - it becomes evident that
synesthetic metaphors are related to the physical aspects of
stimuli as well as cultural tendencies. The study brings together
research findings on metaphor and sound from wide-ranging fields,
and should be useful to metaphor researchers in linguistics,
philosophy, literature, music theory, anthropology, psychology, and
neuroscience.
