19. A relationship between language and. synesthesia is suggested by John Gage, who argues that the Russian language lends itself to color-hearing. Not coincidentally, three well-known (presumed) synesthetes were of Russian origin: Nabokov, Kandinsky and Scriabin. See J. Gage, "Making Sense of Colour: The Synaesthetic Dimension, "in J.
