THE PROBLEM OF STUDYING COLOR IN LINGUISTICS
Keywords:
linguistics, color designation, cognitology, semantics, cultureAbstract
For centuries, people have tried to penetrate into the physical and physiological nature of color, to understand its influence on the consciousness of people, to study its aesthetics. Cognitive verbalization of color form and image becomes the subject of cognitive linguistics. The antiquity of the emergence of color vocabulary, the presence of a system of color designations in multi-system languages, the complexity of their cognitive-semantic structure require a deep study of this problem.
Color designations - lexical units that verbalize sensory images of color - represent one of the most frequently considered thematic groups in different languages. Studies of color lexemes are carried out in various directions: linguistic, psycholinguistic, historical, linguistic and cultural.
