The linguistic research has analyzed different aspects of synesthesia, especially: the rhetoric definition; the semantic valence; the pragmatic implicatures. But we haven’t yet a complete cartography of their privileged construals and their syntagmatic configurations in different languages. For a better insight we need to extend the cross-linguistic comparison and the studies of cognitive schemas. In this paper I will present a comprehension test on readings with and without specific synesthetic forms (N+Adj denominative/not denominative). Linguistic synesthesia per se is not a nonsense, but one of the evidences of cross-talk theory. So the time of comprehension of text with synesthetic strategy should be more rapid and better than those devoid of that. My hypothesis is that the morphological and syntactic commutations are determinant as the semantic factors.

Abstract
The linguistic research has analyzed different aspects of synesthesia, especially: the rhetoric definition; the semantic valence; the pragmatic implicatures. But we haven’t yet a complete cartography of their privileged construals and their syntagmatic configurations in different languages. For a better insight we need to extend the cross-linguistic comparison and the studies of cognitive schemas. In this paper I will present a comprehension test on readings with and without specific synesthetic forms (N+Adj denominative/not denominative). Linguistic synesthesia per se is not a nonsense, but one of the evidences of cross-talk theory. So the time of comprehension of text with synesthetic strategy should be more rapid and better than those devoid of that. My hypothesis is that the morphological and syntactic commutations are determinant as the semantic factors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
