The purpose of this study is to verify the generalization of Ullmann’s(1963) “universal theory” through the synesthetic data in the self-built corpus of modern Korean poetry consisting of 1,000 poems, focusing on the issue of the directionality of synesthetic metaphor. This study also examines some characteristics of synesthetic phenomena in modern Korean poems. It is notable that the number of types is greater than that of previous research of Korean conventional synesthesia regarding lexical intensity such as tokens and types of Korean poetic synesthesia. This fact indicates that poetic synesthesia is relatively various, unique, and original, while conventional synesthesia tends to use a small number of common synesthetic expressions repeatedly in daily life. It is concluded that poetic synesthesia of the Korean language demonstrates unstable and inconsistent tendencies in the direction, source distribution, and target distribution of the transfers, which is different from the “universal” tendencies.
