What is a synestehtic metaphor?
A metaphor is synesthetic only when its source domain pertains to perception (visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, or gustatory). If the target domain does not evoke perception, we can talk of a weak synesthetic metaphor. If both the source and the target domain evoke perception, we deal with a strong synesthetic metaphor. (Werning, Fleischhauer, Beşeoğlu 2006)

Sources of the corpus
Texts excerpted from blogs devoted to perfume (SMELL), wine, beer, cigars, Yerba Mate, tea, or coffee (TASTE, SMELL, VISION), as well as culinary blogs (TASTE, VISION), music blogs (HEARING), art blogs (VISION), massage and wellness blogs (TOUCH).

The methodology—frame semantics
Meaning of lexical units, phrases, grammatical and syntactic constructions resides in frames – schematic phenomena, such as our beliefs, experiences or typical actions. (cf. Fillmore 1982).Metaphorization process is seen as frame shifting. i.e. a „semantic reanalysis process that reorganizes existing information into a new frame.” (Coulson, 2001).

Topic of a metaphor
Annotator has to choose a topic of the metaphor, that is a referent (e.g. wine).
![Page 10: Synamet under construction](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062316/58758aea1a28ab901c8b5a2b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Frame activators
Annotator chooses a word which activates one of the frames in the analyzed metaphor.

Metaphorical unitAn annotator describes metaphorical units in a dedicated editor. When the annotator isolates a MU, a separate window opens in the ATOS.

Attributes of the MU•Text phrase: tannin smooth.•Full phrase (non-elliptical): tannin is smooth.•Topic: *taste.•Phrase type: nominal predicate.•Strength: strong MU. •Category: simple synesthesia.•Semantic head of the phrase: tannin.

Frames descritpionThe source frame• Phrase element: smooth.• Frame: TOUCH.• Frame element: texture.• Activator: smooth• Part of speech: adjective.
The target frame• Phrase element: tannin.• Frame: TASTE.• Frame element: taste type.• Activator: tannin.• Part of speech: noun.

Main problems with annotation
So far (but that’s just a beginning).

Layered, coalesced metaphors
[…] neroli brzmi tak jak zazwyczaj, czyli głównie zielono i kwiatowo, z lekką nuta octanową (to jaśmin), która wydaje mi się nie na miejscu. Składniki oud — toczone grzybem drewno, pewna smolistość — na chwilę ustępują świergotowi neroli, ale potem łagodnie obejmują przewodnictwo, a neroli dziwnie zaokrągla całość.
[…] neroli [SMELL] sounds [HEARING] as usual, that is mainly greenly [VISION] and flowery [SMELL] with a light [COMPLEX PERCEPTION] acetate [SMELL] note [HEARING] (it is jasmine [SMELL]) which seems to be out of place. Oud [SMELL] components —wood eaten by fungus [VISION], some of pitch-blackness [VISION]—for a moment give in for a chirping [HEARING] of neroli [SMELL], but later gently take the leadership [PERSONIFICATION], while neroli [SMELL] strangely rounds off [VISION] the whole. http://nosthrills.blox.pl/html

Elaborated metaphors that need a very broad context.
Jaka szkoda, że ta przecudnej urody aria jest tak lakoniczna, dyskretna, ulotna i delikatna – bo aż by się chciało zatracić i przepaść z kretesem w tym zniewalającym brzmieniu…
It’s too bad that this aria of such lovely beauty is so laconic, discreet, light, and delicate—because one would like to become completely engrossed and disappear in this captivating sound. https://perfumomania.wordpress.com/2015/10/26/acqua-di-parma-colonia-intensa-czyli-kwintesencja-ulotnej-doskonalosci/
