Synaesthesia is a rhetorical configuration that develops on the syntagmatic level. The Italian scholar Paola Paissa offers a definition of synaesthesia in contrast to metaphor, describing it as a figure whose minimal condition of existence is that of being binary in praesentia, a construction in which the implied elements appear within the text. In this essay we will deal with synaesthesia in the literary sphere, with the intention of demonstrating that there is a possibility that it may be manifested not entirely in the text, that is, by identifying – through a metonymic operation that insists on the noun of a binary attributive junction – a virtual referent external to the utterance.

Abstract
Synaesthesia is a rhetorical configuration that develops on the syntagmatic level. The Italian scholar Paola Paissa offers a definition of synaesthesia in contrast to metaphor, describing it as a figure whose minimal condition of existence is that of being binary in praesentia, a construction in which the implied elements appear within the text. In this essay we will deal with synaesthesia in the literary sphere, with the intention of demonstrating that there is a possibility that it may be manifested not entirely in the text, that is, by identifying – through a metonymic operation that insists on the noun of a binary attributive junction – a virtual referent external to the utterance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
