"abstract": "This paper explores the nature of linguistic synaesthesia in the auditory domain through a corpus-based lexical semantic study of near synonyms. It has been established that the near synonyms \u8072 sheng \"sound\" and \u97f3 yin \"sound\" in Mandarin Chinese have different semantic functions in representing auditory production and auditory perception respectively. Thus, our study is devoted to testing whether linguistic synaesthesia is sensitive to this semantic dichotomy of cognition in particular, and to examining the relationship between linguistic synaesthesia and cognitive modelling in general. Based on the corpus, we find that the near synonyms exhibit both similarities and differences on synaesthesia. The similarities lie in that both \u8072 and \u97f3 are productive recipients of synaesthetic transfers, and vision acts as the source domain most frequently. Besides, the differences exist in selective constraints for \u8072 and \u97f3 with synaesthetic modifiers as well as syntactic functions of the whole combinations. We propose that the similarities can be explained by the cognitive characteristics of the sound, while the differences are determined by the influence of the semantic dichotomy of production/perception on synaesthesia. Therefore, linguistic synaesthesia is not a random association, but can be motivated and predicted by cognition. 1 The terms, \"lower domains\" and \"higher domains\", are copied from Ullmann (1957), where the former refers to touch, taste and smell, and the later includes hearing and vision.",

For instance, Ullmann (1957) studied creative usages of synaesthesia on 2000 examples from poems in the 19th century, and proposed a tendency of hierarchical distribution for synaesthesia. He concluded that synaesthetic transfers are usually from much \"lower domains\" (such as touch and taste) to much \"higher domains\" (such as vision and hearing) 1 , and the acoustic field emerges as the main recipient. Williams (1976) also claimed that the diachronic meaning change of synaesthetic adjectives in ordinary English obeys a strict rule that can be universal for all human languages, as shown in Figure1.

Similarly, Strik Lievers (2015) also pointed out that the \"directionality principle\" reflects the frequency of association types, rather than representing universal constraints on synaesthetic transfers. Thus, linguistic synaesthesia should be investigated specifically for different languages in depth. Unfortunately, fine-grained studies on synaesthesia in Chinese are still scarce.",

"text": "Given the gap on synaesthesia in Chinese, we think that it could be a good way to start off with examining synaesthesia in near synonyms, because the interaction between synaesthesia and subtle semantic differences in near synonyms could provide much deeper and more fine-grained clues for synaesthesia. The benefits of studies on near synonyms to explain and predict linguistic phenomena have been widely recognized. For example, Chief et al. (2000) suggested that some semantic features obtained by comparing near synonyms can be useful on the prediction of syntactic performances. Similarly, Hong and Huang (2004) , Hong and Huang (2005) also pointed that semantic/cognitive features embedded in perceptual near synonyms can influence their usages in the language.",

Specifically speaking, \u8072 is concentrated on the auditory production, while \u97f3 is focused on the auditory perception, although both can refer to the sound (Hong and Huang, 2004; Hong and Huang, 2005) .

The reason for giving the priority to Sinica Corpus is on the consideration that the corpus is a wellrecognized balanced and high-quality corpus with tagging information (Chen et al., 1996) , which we think can facilitate our research. Besides, usages in newspapers are normally wellestablished and the controversial issues about grammaticality for some specific examples could be decreased to a degree, and we hence select three journal corpora as the complement (Refer to Hong and Huang, 2006 for the introduction of two GigaWord corpora).",

For some complementary examples, which do not appear in Sinica Corpus, we also utilize the criterion to calculate its frequency in their relevant corpora. 7 For example, the calculated frequency of \u9577\u8072 chang-sheng \"in prolonged voice\" is 0.01 and hence its percentage is 0.000001%, because it occurs 10 times in the journal corpus of BCC with around 1000 million word tokens.",

There are totally 25 morphemes modifying \u8072, including 14 from vision, 10 from touch and 1 from taste, while only 16 morphemes modifying \u97f3, including 10 from vision and 6 from touch. In terms of the frequencies of words, words containing \u8072 occur more frequently in corpora than those containing \u97f3. Therefore, \u8072 seems to be much easier and more common to be described than \u97f3 through synaesthesia. Interestingly, there is another difference between \u8072 and \u97f3 on synaesthesia about the selection constraint. That can be instantiated in the symmetry of modifiers selection for sub-domains. Polar items in gradable antonymous relations (Lyons, 1977) in each sub-domain are usually selected for synaesthetic usages, such as \u5927 da \"big\" and \u5c0f xiao \"small\" for the size and \u6e05 qing \"clear\" and \u6fc1 zhuo \"turbid\" for the transparency. For some subdomains, there exists the symmetry between modifiers selection. For examples, in terms of the dimension domain for \u8072, the modifiers selection is symmetrical, because the polar items \u9ad8 gao \"high\" and \u4f4e di \"low\" are both selected and there is no other in-between item on the gradable axis that has been selected. However, in terms of the dimension domain for \u97f3, the selection is asymmetrical, for \u4e2d zhong \"middle\" is also used besides the polar items \u9ad8 and \u4f4e. In this way, we can calculate the symmetry of modifiers selection for \u8072 and \u97f3 in each sub-domain, which is shown in Table 3 . Thus, the whole symmetry ratio for \u8072 is 50%, while that for \u97f3 is only 38%. Therefore, there is a noteworthy difference on selective constraints for the near synonyms on synaesthesia. Specifically speaking, \u8072 receives more synaesthetic modifications than \u97f3, and also employs higher symmetry on modifiers selection in each sub-domain.",

"text": "Another difference on synaesthesia between \u8072 and \u97f3 is related to the whole syntactic function of the synaesthetic combinations.

However, most examples containing \u8072 is concerned with the event, such as \u5927\u8072 da-sheng \"loudly\", for \u5927\u8072 can only be used to modify a predicate (e.g., \u5927\u8072\u5531\u6b4c da-sheng-chang-ge \"sing loudly\") or express a state (e.g., \u4ed6\u8aaa\u8a71\u5f88\u5927\u8072 ta-shuo-hua-henda-sheng \"his talking is loud\"), whereas it cannot denote an entity (e.g., *\u4e00\u500b\u5927\u8072 yi-ge-da-sheng \"a loud sound\"). As Table 1 and Table 2 shows, only 4 adjective morphemes exclusively form a noun when combining with \u8072. In terms of these 4 exceptional examples, we can see that two of them are terminological words in some specific areas, namely \u7f8e\u8072 mei-sheng \"bel canto\" and \u5e73\u8072 ping-sheng \"level tone\". In addition, the other two are used in a very low frequency, and \u77ed\u8072 duan-sheng \"short sound\" as well as \u96dc\u8072 za-sheng \"noise\" neither occur in Sinica Corpus, with the calculated frequencies of only 0.013 and 0.014 respectively in the journal corpus of BCC. Therefore, the synaesthetic combinations of \u8072 and \u97f3 have different syntactic functions, of which combinations with \u8072 are normally related to an event, whereas combinations with \u97f3 always refer to an entity.",

"text": "As Pustejovsky (1995) proposed that lexical items can be represented in Lexical Inheritance Structure and some semantic information encoded in lexical items are inherited from upper concepts, which determines their performances in languages. Both \u8072 and \u97f3 are in the auditory domain, which can denote the sound, thus, both of them can inherit common semantic information from the upper concept, namely sound. Therefore, we think that the similarities on synaesthesia between \u8072 and \u97f3 are determined by the whole synaesthetic characteristics for hearing, that is, hearing is a productive recipient of synaesthetic transfers and is much easier to be the target domain of vision than touch. 12 In terms of synaesthetic differences between \u8072 and \u97f3, the semantic/cognitive dichotomy of production and perception really play a role. Hong and Huang (2004) suggested that in the whole transmission process of sounds it should include the starting point, the process and the ending point, of which some concepts focus on the starting point, namely the production of the sound, such as \u8072, and some concepts concentrate on the ending point, namely perception and evaluation of the sound, such as \u97f3. According to this proposal, the selective differences on synaesthesia between \u8072 and \u97f3 can be reasonably explained. From the cognitive point of view (Gibbs, 2006) , embodied action can influence conceptualization in languages. Compared with the ending point of the sound, humans can impose much more active actions on the starting point, whereas the perception and evaluation can be received much more passively. Therefore, the production of the sound is conceptualized and characterized more frequently than the perception through synaesthesia. Also, we speculate that the volition may result in the higher symmetry on sound production for \u8072, which needs further research.",

In Generative Lexicon, qualia structure of a lexical item, including formal role, constitutive role, telic role and agentive role, can predict their performances in languages (Pustejovsky, 1995) . As \u8072 focuses on the production of the sound, the salient qualia role in its semantic information is the agentive role, which is usually related to an event or predicate that brings something into being. Conversely, synaesthetic modifiers always contribute to the formal role of \u97f3, for \u97f3 focuses on perception and evaluation of the sound.",
