The Effects of Bilingualism on Basic Color Terms in Persian
This study is to determine how bilingualism could influence the list of Persian basic color terms and their order. Using a monolingual Persian and a bilingual Kurd sample students, and a color list task, it is assumed that bilingualism could change the ordering of the non-basic color terms in the second language, but not the basic ones. Another assumption is that, the old usual methods for obta...
متن کاملColours on hands: Phonological markedness of sign language color terms
Background. The notion ‘basic color term’ (BCT) was first defined by Berlin & Kay (1969, B&K). Based on a sample of 98 spoken languages, B&K argued that languages show considerable variation in their BCT systems, but that the attested variation is constrained by a hierarchy according to which BCTs appear in a language in a predictable order. B&K identify seven stages of complexity in this hiera...
متن کاملStatistically identifying basic color terms
Basic color terms were originally defined by Berlin and Kay based on linguistic definitions and refer to a subset of color expressions that are universal across languages. In this paper, we investigate and report that basic color terms demonstrate much stronger statistical characteristics that differentiate them from other color words. We introduce a probabilistic interpretation of color naming...
متن کاملImproving Perceptual Color Difference using Basic Color Terms
We suggest a new color distance based on two observations. First, perceptual color differences were designed to be used to compare very similar colors. They do not capture human perception for medium and large color differences well. Thresholding was proposed to solve the problem for large color differences, i.e. two totally different colors are always the same distance apart. We show that thre...
متن کاملThe role of perception, language, and preference in the developmental acquisition of basic color terms.
When learning basic color vocabulary, young children show a selective delay in the acquisition of brown and gray relative to other basic color terms. In this study, we first establish the robustness of this finding and then investigate the extent to which perception, language, and color preference may influence color conceptualization. Experimental tasks were designed to measure different aspec...
