And if we're honest, the "hierarchy" was never "linear" anyway, and for a while now, representations have been more network-oriented, but people still use verbal characterizations that are at odds with this network view.
This is the coarse summary diagram we come up with on the basis of our data. ⬇️

.. but what we think is a more honest, bottom-up perspective on this data, suggests that we should focus much more on specific, pairwise sensory combinations, as in this key figure below. ⬇️

... but more diverse than any prior sample on synesthetic metaphors. We discuss obvious omissions from this data in the paper.
Either way, using this data, we now assess whether the concept of a hierarchy of the senses holds up (teaser graph of one of our analyses below) ⬇️

Ullmann published tables like the one below since 1937(!), and as almost all work on synesthetic metaphors follows his foot steps, there's now a host of such tables by other researchers—modern work still publishes the data in this format. ⬇️

New paper led by Vini Macuch-Silva: "Strategic use of English quantifiers in the reporting of quantitative information".
In our experiments, participants used the approximate nature of quantifiers strategically to make exam results appear as good/bad as possible:
