SYNAESTHETIC MEANINGS OF THE ADJECTIVES WITH PERCEPTUAL FEATURES “SOFT” AND “HARD” IN RUSSIAN, ENGLISH AND FRENCH

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research into the metaphorical meanings of adjectives with perceptual features soft and hard in Russian, English and French. This kind of analysis allowed to identify the synaesthetic metaphors common and specific to these languages, as well as to find out if the adjectives with the same perceptual feature (soft or hard) or pairs of adjectives with opposing perceptual features (soft - hard) tend to develop metaphorical meanings more often. Comparison of semantic structures of the adjectives under research showed that the adjectives with the same perceptual feature in different languages tend to develop more similar meanings than pairs of adjectives with opposing perceptual features.
