Abstract:

This paper focuses on the extraction and mapping tendencies of synaesthetic sentences in modern Chinese. The extraction applies two kinds of methodologies both based on the perception related word lists. We have constructed five sense word lists of touch, taste, smell, hearing and vision respectively. By checking each list and extracting the sentences with two or more kinds of perception related words, the accuracy of this methodology is 20.78%; by introducing POS distributing tendencies checking, the accuracy rises to 46.37%. The difficulty lies in collecting and further selecting the perception related word and also in observing the POS distributing rules of each perception related word. Finally, we check the mapping directionality of one domain of sense to another one.

Key words: modern Chinese;synaesthesia;perception related word;automatic extraction
