Definitions from the WebSynesthetic MetaphorA synesthetic metaphor is a figure of speech that uses imagery from one sensory modality to describe something from another sensory modality, creating a sensory fusion. It combines the sensory experiences of two distinct senses to convey a more vivid and powerful description. Examples:As a Figure of Speech:Sense of Sight → Sense of Sound:"The music flowed through her like a colorful river." This synesthetic metaphor conveys how the experience of hearing music is compared to seeing vibrant colors flowing like a river. Sense of Taste → Sense of Touch:"The sweetness of her voice caressed my ears." In this example, the synesthetic metaphor uses the sensation of taste, sweetness, to describe the sensation of touch when listening to someone's soothing voice. These examples demonstrate how synesthetic metaphors add depth and richness to language by mixing different senses.
