Abstract:

Creative metaphor has been of central interest to the cognitive linguistic
research community in recent years. However, little is known about what
propels people to use metaphor in a creative way. In this Element, the authors
identify and explore some of the clues that synaesthesia may provide to help
us better understand the factors that drive creativity, with a particular
focus on creative metaphor. They identify the factors that seem to trigger the
production of creative metaphor in synaesthetes, and explore what this can
tell us about creativity in the population more generally. Their findings
provide insights into the nature of creativity as it relates to metaphor,
emotion and embodied experience. This title is also available as Open Access
on Cambridge Core.
 



1. 'Tiny balloons filled with mashed potatoes': what is synaesthesia, and what
has it got to do with creativity and metaphor?; 2. 'Those cookies tasted of
regret…:' how we investigated evaluative descriptions of sensory experiences;
3. …and rotting flesh: how do synaesthetes and non-synaesthetes evaluate
sensory experiences? What we found…; 4. 'Yeurgh…': How we investigated
synaesthetes' and non-synaesthetes' responses to emotion words and emotive
expressions, and what we found; 5. 'I don't like looking at numbers with no
discernible pattern': Conclusion.
