SYNESTHESIA AS A UNIVERSAL FACTOR PROVIDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF PHRASEOLOGICAL SEMANTICS

Abstract:  The paper dwells on the issue concerning the perceptual mechanisms that provide creation of phraseological semantics. The case study of a particular group of phraseological units in the English and Russian languages helps to establish different types of synesthesia that underlie their meanings. The results obtained in the research allow us to consider synesthesia to be a universal factor in the process of phraseologism-formation.

Keywords:  perception, multimodality, synesthesia, semantics, phraseological unit
