项目摘要

The "one direction" tendency, in terms of synesthesia metaphors, is the consistent diversion of a word"s basic meaning to emphasize a sensation from another sense category. The "one direction" tendency in synesthesia metaphors is assumed to be a linguistic universal, and is referred to as the "One Direction Hypothesis."To address these concerns, this research focused on the following three points1) First, meaning diversion in 15 languages from "sight" and "touch" to other senses was investigated as a pilot survey. As a result of this investigation, the numbers of examples diverted from "touch" were found to be more than the number of "sight" expressions in all the languages surveyed. However, diversion examples from "sight" were also found in all the languages without exception. Therefore, it can be said that the results of this investigation were as follows. Although the One Direction Hypothesis is not absolute, the tendency of meaning diversion in all 15 languages was found to support this hypothesis.2)Next, the meaning diversion from "sight" "hearing" "touch" "taste" and "smell" to another senses was investigated among 60 native speakers in English and French. The results of the previous pilot survey were confirmed by this investigation. Thus, it became clear that the tendency of the direction of the meaning diversion generally supported the "one-way hypothesis" across all sense categories. In addition, the data contained many examples counter to the One Direction Hypothesis. However, among the exceptions found, it is noteworthy that only "smell→taste" counter-examples frequently occur in both English and French.

就联觉隐喻而言，“一个方向”的趋势是一个基本含义的一致转移，以强调从另一个意义类别中的感觉。联合觉隐喻中的“一个方向”趋势被认为是语言上的普遍性，并被称为“一个方向”，以下是“一个方向”，以下三个点的磁场。通过这项投资，对其他感觉进行了“触摸”。 2）接下来，在60位英语和法语中，研究了60位母语的人中，研究了从“瞄准”“听力”“触摸”““味道”和“气味”）转移到另一种意义的含义转移到另一种意义上。这项投资证实了先前的试点调查的结果。这很明显，含义转移的方向的趋势通常支持所有意义类别中的“单向假设”。此外，数据包含许多与单向假设相反的示例。但是，除了发现的例外，值得注意的是，只有“气味→味道”的反示例经常出现在英语和法语中。
