Definition A minimal upper attribute of a type is a minimal element of the set of upper attributes of the type. An upper attribute of a type is an attribute which is a supertype of the type.

Conclusions: The processing of synaesthetic metaphors can be explained in terms of frames. In principal, the same strategies are applied for processing metaphorical and non-metaphorical expressions. An expression is mainly inaccessible if the frame of the compound expression contains inadequate attributes. A reinterpretation of inappropriate values is possible. Thus, synaesthetic metaphors with scalar concepts are more likely to be accessed than those with quality

  • concepts. These findings cannot be explained in terms of

directionality.
