E.g., is there empirical evidence for cross-modal bonds like "large = objects (much of size) are loud objects (much of sound)" ?=20 Although I see brain research approaching the subject (e.g. = http://www.dhushara.com/pdf/synesthesia.pdf) I have not (yet) found so = much empirical psychology about such metaphors. I may not have studied = carefully enough the synaestesia literature, but appreciate any more = specific 'forwardings' then.
