Synesthesia is a figure of speech that combines sensory sensations from different modalities, creating a richer sensory experience. It occurs when characteristics of one sense are attributed to another, allowing the transmission of a more vivid and poetic image. It is commonly found in literature and poetry, providing a deeper and more sensorial understanding of the transmitted message. For example, in an expression like "the yellow sound of the trumpet", there is a combination of auditory (sound) and visual (yellow) sensations. Synesthesia in this case allows conveying the idea that the sound of the trumpet is bright, vibrant or luminous, associating it with the color yellow.
