Synesthesia and Synesthemia as a Reflection of Reality in the Poetic Texts of Georgios Seferis

The text examines synesthesia and partly synesthemia in a lexical-se mantic aspect, as a perception and reflection of reality in the texts of the Greek surrealist poet Georgios Seferis. A large part of the synesthetic constructions in his poetry are represented by two-component synesthesias, i.e., combining two sensual images, one of which has a direct nominative meaning, and the second has an indirect nominative, figurative meaning, which arose based on a metaphorical transfer of meaning. As a result, the indirect nominative meaning in the synesthetic construction leads to the formation of a new meaning by the method of semantic agreement (i.e., according to semantic compatibility) of words. The structural classification of synesthetic construc tions is based on the grammatical form of the reference word, and the lexical-semantic classification is based on the lexical meaning of the word and its lexical-grammatical compatibility.
