Expressing Colour in Language
MARKYTÁNOVÁ, Tereza
This thesis aims to examine the relation between language and colour. Namely, it focuses on expressing the perception of colour as a salient feature in the process of naming mushrooms. The work is based on onomasiological approach that proceeds in its examination of the naming process from the concept itself. The colour referring terms were sorted into concrete categories of type of designation based on the way they express colour (e.g. by directly using colour terms, metaphorical expressions). The names of mushrooms were analysed and contrasted in English and Czech language.
