摘要：
Synaesthesia has been a research interest from various disciplines, including linguistics. This study examines how synaesthetic metaphors work in the Vietnamese language and what language universality and relativity can be explained based on this. A collection of 300 love letters written by Trinh Cong Son, a well-known figure in Vietnamese music and songwriting, from 1964 to 2001, was the dataset of this study. The directionality and hierarchy of senses Ullmann (1957), Williams (1976), and Lien (1994) serve as the theoretical framework. The findings show that there are (1) distinct synaesthetic mappings, with dimension being the most prevalent source domain, (2) sound being the most prevalent destination domain, and (3) reciprocal transfers between dimension and emotion, emphasizing the dynamic interaction between sensory experience and language. The result validates Ullmann’s (1957) hierarchy of senses, where lower senses act as foundational domains for higher senses. Nevertheless, significant disparities are seen in relation to prior studies. The differences can be ascribed to the variation in language and culture, highlighting the necessity for more cross-linguistic investigation to comprehensively grasp the subtleties of synaesthetic language.
