Many are represented here, including anthropology, archaeology, the fine arts, linguistics, onomastics, philosophy, psychology and vision science. The chapters have been developed from papers and posters presented at the Progress in Colour Studies (PICS12) conference held at the University of Glasgow. Papers from the earlier PICS04 and PICS08 conferences were published by John Benjamins as Progress in Colour Studies, 2 volumes, 2006 and New Directions in Colour Studies, 2011, respectively. The opening chapter of this new volume stems from the conference keynote talk on prehistoric colour semantics by Carole P. Biggam. The remaining chapters are grouped into three sections: colour and linguistics; colour categorization, naming and preference; and colour and the world. Each section is preceded by a short preface drawing together the themes of the chapters within it. There are thirty-one colour illustrations. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/z.191.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027212191.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027212191.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/z.191.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/z.191.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/z.191.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/z.191.hb.png 01 01 JB code z.191.001pre 06 10.1075/z.191.001pre ix ix 1 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Preface Preface 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.002ack 06 10.1075/z.191.002ack x x 1 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.003abb 06 10.1075/z.191.003abb xi xiv 4 Miscellaneous 3 01 04 Abbreviations Abbreviations 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s1 06 10.1075/z.191.s1 Section header 4 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.01big 06 10.1075/z.191.01big 3 28 26 Article 5 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 04 A contradiction in terms A contradiction in terms 1 A01 01 JB code 979223063 Carole P.

The chapter is primarily concerned with the earliest basic colour categories (BCCs) of the Indo-European languages, and the approach taken is to combine various techniques from more than one discipline and to see whether the results corroborate or contradict each other. Linguistic approaches include etymology, core concepts, the UE model, cognates and prototypes while supporting evidence is brought to bear from archaeology, anthropology, art history and the earliest Indo-European texts in Hittite and Vedic Sanskrit. 01 01 JB code z.191.s2 06 10.1075/z.191.s2 Section header 6 01 04 Colour and Linguistics Colour and Linguistics 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s2a 06 10.1075/z.191.s2a 29 30 2 Miscellaneous 7 01 04 Preface to Section II Preface to Section II 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.02bor 06 10.1075/z.191.02bor 31 52 22 Article 8 01 04 Towards a historical and cultural atlas of colour terms in the Near East Towards a historical and cultural atlas of colour terms in the Near East 01 04 Remarks on GREEN and BLUE in some Arabic and Aramaic vernaculars Remarks on GREEN and BLUE in some Arabic and Aramaic vernaculars 1 A01 01 JB code 356223064 Alexander Borg Borg, Alexander Alexander Borg 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/356223064 01 eng 30 00 This chapter addresses evolutionary aspects tangential to the categorization of green and blue in selected contemporary varieties of Arabic and Aramaic spoken in the Near East. Its objective is to focus attention on the need for a combined linguistic and cultural study of this region on a macro-areal scale, after the model of R. E. MacLaury’s (1997) Mesoamerican colour survey. The present research intimates that the Bedouin Arabic hybrid colour paradigm – with its minimal set of basic categories, lexicalized alongside an elaborate word-stock for non-basic, (though functionally salient) unsaturated, natural hues (of livestock, steppe terrain, and more) – represents an early evolutionary stage in Semitic colour categorization focused essentially on brightness values. Hence the undifferentiated dark / cool region of the Old Arabic spectrum covered by the basic term axd̩ar “green, blue, and black”. The comparative chromatic data here adduced from ancient and modern Semitic suggest that the tendency to fuse green and blue into a single category in this region represents a relic trait in certain parts of the Near East, concomitant with a still ongoing shift from brightness to hue categories. 01 01 JB code z.191.03gra 06 10.1075/z.191.03gra 53 66 14 Article 9 01 04 The evolution of GRUE The evolution of GRUE 01 04 Evidence for a new colour term in the language of the Himba Evidence for a new colour term in the language of the Himba 1 A01 01 JB code 904223065 Alexandra Grandison Grandison, Alexandra Alexandra Grandison University of Surrey, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/904223065 2 A01 01 JB code 238223066 Ian R.L.

The categories used to describe this continuum vary across the world’s languages and there are marked differences in the numbers of colour categories and the locations of category boundaries. For example, the green–blue region of colour space is labelled with two terms in English but with only one term (a “grue” term) in many African languages. Evidence for a “grue” term in Otjiherero – a language spoken by the Himba of northern Namibia – has been well documented. Here we present data from colour list and colour naming tasks indicating the emergence of a new Himba colour term. These findings have significant implications for future cross-cultural research into colour categorization. 01 01 JB code z.191.04uus 06 10.1075/z.191.04uus 67 78 12 Article 10 01 04 Linguistic categorization of BLUE in Standard Italian Linguistic categorization of BLUE in Standard Italian 1 A01 01 JB code 2223068 Mari Uusküla Uusküla, Mari Mari Uusküla 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/2223068 01 eng 30 00 The chapter aims to establish the status of three salient colour terms for blue: blu, azzurro and celeste, in the standard variety of Italian. A number of experiments were performed to examine the context-free and context-sensitive behaviour of blue terms. The results, consistent with previous studies, reveal that Italian speakers tend to distinguish lighter blue(s) from darker blue in daily speech, regarding them as autonomous categories. Although blu seems to be the most prevalent term, used with high consensus, both azzurro and celeste also tend to be salient high-frequency terms. The choice between azzurro and celeste depends on speakers’ dialectal background. Furthermore, it is conjectured which linguistic and non-linguistic factors tend to bias the linguistic categorization of colour terms in general. 01 01 JB code z.191.05swe 06 10.1075/z.191.05swe 79 92 14 Article 11 01 04 From blood to worms From blood to worms 01 04 The semantic evolution of a Portuguese colour term The semantic evolution of a Portuguese colour term 1 A01 01 JB code 437223069 Andrew Swearingen Swearingen, Andrew Andrew Swearingen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/437223069 01 eng 30 00 The historical record provides evidence of an apparent semantic shift in the denotational range of the Portuguese colour term roxo, whereby its referent, initially designating the colour red, came to designate the colour purple. Drawing on colour term research from the World Colour Survey, prototype theory and cognitive semantics, I argue that such a process was set in motion by an adjacent semantic shift in the colour term vermelho from non-basic to the basic colour term for red in Portuguese. Supported by empirical evidence from historical texts as well as comparative linguistics, I document an overall timeline for this change and argue that extra-linguistic factors involving the dyeing industry in Iberia serve as the motivation for these shifts, a view supported by colour term cognates in other Ibero-Romance varieties such as Catalan and Galician. The evolution of Portuguese roxo and vermelho provides an example of one possible evolutionary path that basic colour terms can take in the history of a language, demonstrating the cognitive mechanics involved in the division and shift of colour category boundaries and the relocation of prototypes. 01 01 JB code z.191.06oja 06 10.1075/z.191.06oja 93 108 16 Article 12 01 04 The motivational analysis of some Finnic colour terms The motivational analysis of some Finnic colour terms 1 A01 01 JB code 47223070 Vilja Oja Oja, Vilja Vilja Oja 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/47223070 01 eng 30 00 The origin and semantics of some (non Indo-European) Finnic colour words denoting the yellow, red and brown hues are discussed, including their various earlier interpretations. All the words discussed, namely, ruske, raudjas, lepp, leet and paat (with variations and cognates) have similarities with word-roots in Indo-European languages, for example, among the Finnic colour names with the raud- stem there are Germanic and Baltic loanwords, all originating in the same root. The chapter includes a new hypothesis as to the semantic origin of words from the lepp- stem, and it explores aspects of the morphological and semantic changes which occurred in the adopted words. These include examples of mistaken folk-etymology in connection with leet and paat / paatti, and investigation of the dialectal meanings of the ruske-based lexemes which vary from orange to red and brown hues. 01 01 JB code z.191.07san 06 10.1075/z.191.07san 109 125 17 Article 13 01 04 Her blue eyes are red Her blue eyes are red 01 04 An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy in English An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy in English 1 A01 01 JB code 712223071 Jodi L. Sandford Sandford, Jodi L. Jodi L. Sandford 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/712223071 01 eng 30 00 The lexical frame of color as a primary experience is often used to exemplify linguistic theories and yet there is still a lack of a cognitive color model. Cognitive linguistics establishes meaning in a central role through the ideas of embodied experience and cognitive models that are evinced through usage-based analysis. I present the fifth type of distinction in a conceptual mapping of color in English; four types have been presented earlier in Sandford (2010, 2011a and 2011b). The new part of this mapping is Conceptual Color Metonymy, based on one hundred random examples of each of six basic color terms extracted from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy mapping reveals primary conceptual correlations in experience, and the predominant conceptualization mechanism pattern that emerged from this study is color attribute (is access) for conceptual space. 01 01 JB code z.191.08ale 06 10.1075/z.191.08ale 126 139 14 Article 14 01 04 The spread of RED in the Historical Thesaurus of English The spread of RED in the Historical Thesaurus of English 1 A01 01 JB code 173223072 Marc Alexander Alexander, Marc Marc Alexander University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/173223072 2 A01 01 JB code 485223073 Christian Kay Kay, Christian Christian Kay University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/485223073 01 eng 30 00 The basic colour category red and its exponents occupies an important place in the development of colour vocabulary, whether in the evolution of colour perception, infant language learning, or the history of particular languages. This chapter focuses on the development of the red category in English using data from the Historical Thesaurus of English, which lists synonyms from the earliest English records until the present day. Comparison with other English BCCs shows that red has by far the largest number of exponents over history and the steepest increase in lexis in the modern period. The close relationship of red and pink, the youngest of the English BCCs, is also explored. 01 01 JB code z.191.09and 06 10.1075/z.191.09and 140 152 13 Article 15 01 04 A metaphorical spectrum A metaphorical spectrum 01 04 Surveying colour terms in English Surveying colour terms in English 1 A01 01 JB code 65223074 Wendy Anderson Anderson, Wendy Wendy Anderson University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/65223074 2 A01 01 JB code 144223075 Ellen Bramwell Bramwell, Ellen Ellen Bramwell University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/144223075 01 eng 30 00 This chapter investigates the figurative use of a selection of colour words in the Historical Thesaurus of English, published as the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (Kay et al. 2009) and containing the recorded vocabulary of the language from Old English to the present. The adopted methodology slightly adapts that of the AHRC-funded Mapping Metaphor project, which is examining the distribution of metaphors across time in English through an investigation of metaphorical links between concepts signalled by areas of significant lexical overlap between Thesaurus categories. In this chapter, we empirically examine metaphorical and other relationships between colour and a range of other semantic categories, through the examples of the colour terms black, white, blue, yellow and green. 01 01 JB code z.191.10ham 06 10.1075/z.191.10ham 153 166 14 Article 16 01 04 Exploring the metaphorical use of colour with the Historical Thesaurus of English Exploring the metaphorical use of colour with the Historical Thesaurus of English 01 04 A case study of purple and lavender A case study of purple and lavender 1 A01 01 JB code 650223076 Rachael Hamilton Hamilton, Rachael Rachael Hamilton 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/650223076 01 eng 30 00 Previous research into metaphors containing colour terms has focused on the primary basic colour terms, yet examples can also be found with the secondary basic and non-basic colour terms. A case study of the colour terms purple and lavender is presented here. Situated within the Mapping Metaphor project, this analysis utilizes the unique data source, the Historical Thesaurus. In addition to thesaurus data, dictionaries were consulted to establish the etymologies of metaphorical phrases. Finally, corpus evidence was used to establish current usage of such phrases. 01 01 JB code z.191.s3 06 10.1075/z.191.s3 Section header 17 01 04 Colour categorization, naming and preference Colour categorization, naming and preference 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s3b 06 10.1075/z.191.s3b 167 168 2 Miscellaneous 18 01 04 Preface to Section III Preface to Section III 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.11fra 06 10.1075/z.191.11fra 169 180 12 Article 19 01 04 The case for infant colour categories The case for infant colour categories 1 A01 01 JB code 725223077 Anna Franklin Franklin, Anna Anna Franklin University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/725223077 2 A01 01 JB code 800223078 Alice Skelton Skelton, Alice Alice Skelton University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/800223078 3 A01 01 JB code 99223079 Gemma Catchpole Catchpole, Gemma Gemma Catchpole University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/99223079 01 eng 30 00 Over the last four decades, evidence has accumulated to suggest that infants parse the continuum of colour into discrete categories. For example, multiple studies suggest that infants’ recognition memory treats discriminably different colours from the same category as if they are equivalent (e.g. Bornstein, Kessen and Weiskopf, 1976; Franklin and Davies, 2004). Despite the converging evidence, the existence of infant colour categories remains controversial. Here, we examine the evidence for and against the case for infant colour categories and consider alternative non-categorical explanations for prior findings. We also discuss a series of challenging theoretical questions on how infant colour categories relate to those in language, and on how infants could categorize colour in the absence of language. 01 01 JB code z.191.12ded 06 10.1075/z.191.12ded 181 199 19 Article 20 01 04 Bornstein's paradox (redux) Bornstein’s paradox (redux) 1 A01 01 JB code 560223080 Don Dedrick Dedrick, Don Don Dedrick 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/560223080 01 eng 30 00 The psychologist Marc Bornstein suggested it was surprising that (a) non-linguistic infants demonstrated categorical perception of colour and (b) such categorical perception did not facilitate the learning of colour names (Bornstein 1985). This is “Bornstein’s paradox” and it has been articulated by a number of researchers since 1985. The purpose of this paper is to argue that there is in fact no paradox. Susan Carey’s idea of “core cognition” is extended to colour categorization and it is argued that, if colour is a domain of core cognition, the development from initial infant colour experience need not be continuous with linguistic experience (Carey 2009). This argument makes reference to Carey’s work on object permanence, and number as analogous to colour naming. 01 01 JB code z.191.13wit 06 10.1075/z.191.13wit 200 211 12 Article 21 01 04 Category effects on colour discrimination Category effects on colour discrimination 1 A01 01 JB code 164223081 Christoph Witzel Witzel, Christoph Christoph Witzel University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/164223081 2 A01 01 JB code 495223082 Karl R.

We conducted an extensive series of studies on categorical perception of colour. We studied category effects on colour sensitivity, on the performance in a speeded discrimination task and on the subjective appearance of difference. One of the core contributions of our studies is the careful control of perceptual differences when investigating the interaction between perceptual and categorical information. In sum, only speeded discrimination with untrained participants yielded robust category effects. The comparison of the results from the different studies shows that category effects are not inherent to colour perception. Instead, we suggest that attention to the categorical distinction is at the root of the category effect. 01 01 JB code z.191.14wri 06 10.1075/z.191.14wri 212 224 13 Article 22 01 04 Colour category effects Colour category effects 01 04 Evidence from asymmetries in task performance Evidence from asymmetries in task performance 1 A01 01 JB code 927223083 Oliver Wright Wright, Oliver Oliver Wright 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/927223083 01 eng 30 00 This chapter provides an overview of recent experiments (Hanley and Roberson 2011; Wright 2012) investigating asymmetries in performance of two kinds of task, two-alternative forced choice (2-AFC) and visual search. Previous research has reported colour category effects in performance of both tasks and suggests such category effects can be interpreted as evidence of a Whorfian effect. Two key questions addressed here are: first, whether asymmetries in performance of 2-AFC and visual search tasks might also represent a Whorfian effect, and second, whether asymmetries in the two tasks can be accommodated within a framework that implies Whorfian effects in the domain of colour depend critically on on-line stimulus categorization. In addition to interpretations that offer affirmative answers to these questions, alternative interpretations are considered. 01 01 JB code z.191.15myl 06 10.1075/z.191.15myl 225 239 15 Article 23 01 04 Gender differences in colour naming Gender differences in colour naming 1 A01 01 JB code 410223084 Dimitris Mylonas Mylonas, Dimitris Dimitris Mylonas University College London, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410223084 2 A01 01 JB code 734223085 Galina V.

Each participant named twenty colours selected from 600 Munsell samples, presented one at a time against a neutral background. Colour names and typing onset response times were registered. For the eleven basic colour terms, elicitation frequency was comparable for both genders. Females demonstrated more elaborated colour vocabulary, with more descriptors in general and more non-basic monolexemic terms; they also named colours faster than males. The two genders differ in the repertoire of frequent colour terms: a Bayesian synthetic observer revealed that women segment colour space linguistically more densely in the “warm” area whereas men do so in the “cool” area. Current “nurture” and “nature” explanations of why females excel in colour naming behaviour are considered. 01 01 JB code z.191.16bim 06 10.1075/z.191.16bim 240 257 18 Article 24 01 04 Personality and gender-schemata contributions to colour preferences Personality and gender-schemata contributions to colour preferences 1 A01 01 JB code 311223087 David Bimler Bimler, David David Bimler Massey University, New Zealand 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/311223087 2 A01 01 JB code 638223088 Jennifer Brunt Brunt, Jennifer Jennifer Brunt University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/638223088 3 A01 01 JB code 670223089 Laura Lanning Lanning, Laura Laura Lanning University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/670223089 4 A01 01 JB code 965223090 Valérie Bonnardel Bonnardel, Valérie Valérie Bonnardel University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/965223090 01 eng 30 00 A gender difference in color preference has been repeatedly reported among English speakers, with a secondary preference among females for pink-purple colors, modulating a primary preference from both sexes for “cool” over “warm” hues. However, this group difference leaves much individual variation in preference patterns unaccounted-for. Here we examine personality traits and gender schemata as possible determinants. Preference choices across sixteen hue samples were elicited from 120 young British psychology students, who also rated themselves on the International Personality Item Pool and Bem Sex Role Inventory questionnaires. Principal Component Analysis reduced their individual preference variations to four prototypical patterns. Some associations emerged between preference and personality; these may be culturally determined. Links with gender schemata were less substantial. 01 01 JB code z.191.17sta 06 10.1075/z.191.17sta 258 272 15 Article 25 01 04 Axiological aspects of Polish colour vocabulary Axiological aspects of Polish colour vocabulary 01 04 A study of associations A study of associations 1 A01 01 JB code 410223091 Danuta Stanulewicz Stanulewicz, Danuta Danuta Stanulewicz University of Gdansk 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410223091 2 A01 01 JB code 712223092 Ewa Komorowska Komorowska, Ewa Ewa Komorowska University of Szczecin 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/712223092 3 A01 01 JB code 878223093 Adam Pawłowski Pawłowski, Adam Adam Pawłowski University of Wroclaw, Poland 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/878223093 01 eng 30 00 The aim of this paper is to investigate axiological attributes of Polish colour terms. We pose the following questions: Which colours are evaluated mostly positively, negatively and neutrally? Are there objects which are provided as both positive and negative associations of a single colour? Are the same associations evoked by different colours? We carried out a questionnaire among fifty Polish speakers. The results point to colours which are perceived most positively (green, blue and orange), negatively (grey and black), neutrally (brown), and ambivalently (red). Moreover, an association may be classified as positive, neutral or negative (e.g. blood associated with red). One association may also be provided for two colours, e.g. death as a negative association with black and white. 01 01 JB code z.191.18chi 06 10.1075/z.191.18chi 273 286 14 Article 26 01 04 The metaphysical significance of colour categorization The metaphysical significance of colour categorization 01 04 Mind, world, and their complicated relationship Mind, world, and their complicated relationship 1 A01 01 JB code 267223094 Mazviita Chirimuuta Chirimuuta, Mazviita Mazviita Chirimuuta 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/267223094 01 eng 30 00 In this chapter I approach the ancient metaphysical question concerning the reality – or otherwise – of colour. Certain philosophers (Hardin 1993; Pautz 2006) have argued that the existence of colour categories, and colour spaces which instantiate similarity relationships between the categories, give reason for concluding that colour is an entirely subjective and illusory phenomenon. In this chapter I argue instead that an understanding of categorization gives us strong motivation for rejecting any simple dichotomy between real / physical properties and unreal / psychological attributes. This undermines the extreme anti-realist view and leads to a novel argument in favour of a relationist theory of colour, according to which colours are perceiver-dependent but nonetheless real properties of objects. 01 01 JB code z.191.s4 06 10.1075/z.191.s4 Section header 27 01 04 Colour and the World Colour and the World 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s4c 06 10.1075/z.191.s4c 287 289 3 Miscellaneous 28 01 04 Preface to Section IV Preface to Section IV 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.19ple 06 10.1075/z.191.19ple 291 306 16 Article 29 01 04 Color seeing and speaking Color seeing and speaking 01 04 Effects of biology, environment and language Effects of biology, environment and language 1 A01 01 JB code 287223095 Alessio Plebe Plebe, Alessio Alessio Plebe University of Messina, Italy 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/287223095 2 A01 01 JB code 578223096 Vivian M.

Recent studies on the Berinmo and Himba languages have challenged the mainstream view about the universalism of color terms. These cases can also be helpful in investigating the possible impact the environment can have, since the landscapes in which the two groups live are drastically different.  We propose a computational model of visual and linguistic processing paths in the cortex, previously used for simulating the influence of Berinmo and Himba color terms, and extended for investigating the combined effects of language and environment. 01 01 JB code z.191.20dun 06 10.1075/z.191.20dun 307 322 16 Article 30 01 04 Colour terms in the names of coastal and inland features Colour terms in the names of coastal and inland features 01 04 A study of four Berwickshire parishes A study of four Berwickshire parishes 1 A01 01 JB code 27223097 Leonie Mhari Mhari, Leonie Leonie Mhari University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/27223097 2 A01 01 JB code 332223098 Carole Hough Hough, Carole Carole Hough University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/332223098 01 eng 30 00 This chapter presents a study of colour terms in the names of four parishes within the historic county of Berwickshire in south-east Scotland. Out of 1,895 marked features on the first-edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1856, sixty-nine (3.64%) have names containing colour terms. These fall into two groups: base names, where the feature was named directly from the colour, and derived names, where the base name has been used to name another feature. Comparison of inland and coastal names reveals different profiles, with derived names more commonly generated inland, but colour terms more salient in coastal names. 01 01 JB code z.191.21ani 06 10.1075/z.191.21ani 323 338 16 Article 31 01 04 Referential meaning in basic and non-basic color terms Referential meaning in basic and non-basic color terms 1 A01 01 JB code 892223099 Alena V.

Although most linguistic studies share the assumption about the central role of the reference-related aspects in understanding the semantic structure of color words, the methods for accessing and operationalizing this type of meaning remain rather limited. We propose that a usage-based bottom-up analysis of referentially-enriched multimodal data can provide additional possibilities for modeling the semantics of basic and non-basic color terms. The analysis focuses on the referential range of individual color terms as a basis for identifying different types of color terms used in online marketing and discusses the implications for the semantic relations between color terms based on their referential overlap. 01 01 JB code z.191.22mio 06 10.1075/z.191.22mio 339 351 13 Article 32 01 04 Unfolding colour in mind and language Unfolding colour in mind and language 01 04 Strategies for colour denotation in Spanish wine-tasting notes Strategies for colour denotation in Spanish wine-tasting notes 1 A01 01 JB code 531223102 Marzenna Mioduszewska Mioduszewska, Marzenna Marzenna Mioduszewska 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/531223102 01 eng 30 00 This chapter explores possible strategies for colour naming used during wine-tasting procedures conducted in Spanish.

The results of behavioural experiments are compared with a corpus of expert wine notes. A new categorization system is presented and compared with other colour naming patterns. The reasons for its application are hypothesized. The second argument discussed in the chapter deals with the lack of common grounding between individual perception and its social coding in language. 01 01 JB code z.191.23moo 06 10.1075/z.191.23moo 352 365 14 Article 33 01 04 Synaesthetic associations Synaesthetic associations 01 04 Exploring the colours of voices Exploring the colours of voices 1 A01 01 JB code 216223103 Anja Moos Moos, Anja Anja Moos University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/216223103 2 A01 01 JB code 264223104 David R.

After extensive research on other types of synaesthesia, this study is the first to investigate voice-induced synaesthesia on a group level, and to compare results with phoneticians and control participants. It was found that pitch and pitch range of a voice influenced brightness and colour associations with a voice for all groups. Group differences were mainly found in verbal descriptions of the voices: many synaesthetes used their additional perceptions to describe the voice, phoneticians used technical terms, and controls mostly described (personality) characteristics of the speaker. 01 01 JB code z.191.24pra 06 10.1075/z.191.24pra 366 379 14 Article 34 01 04 Bach to the blues Bach to the blues 01 04 Color, music and emotion across cultures Color, music and emotion across cultures 1 A01 01 JB code 836223106 Lilia R.

We repeated this experiment with forty-nine Mexican participants. The experimental stimuli were thirty-seven colors and eighteen brief samples of classical orchestral music that varied in mode and tempo. Music that was faster and in a major key was associated with brighter, more saturated, warmer colors and was judged to be happier and stronger, whereas music that was slower and in a minor key was associated with darker, less saturated, cooler colors and judged to be sadder, weaker and calmer. We observed high correlations between the emotional associations of music and the emotional associations of the colors, being highest for happy / sad (r = .97) and lowest for angry / calm (r =.68). These results are very similar to the pattern found in North America. 01 01 JB code z.191.25los 06 10.1075/z.191.25los 380 396 17 Article 35 01 04 "Miss Gartside's immediate eye" “Miss Gartside’s immediate eye” 01 04 An examination of Mary Gartside's publications on colour between 1805 and 1808 in the context of illustrated colour literature and paint manuals of the early nineteenth century An examination of Mary Gartside’s publications on colour between 1805 and 1808 in the context of illustrated colour literature and paint manuals of the early nineteenth century 1 A01 01 JB code 667223109 Alexandra Loske Loske, Alexandra Alexandra Loske 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/667223109 01 eng 30 00 This chapter examines three publications by the English colour theorist Mary Gartside (active 1781–1809) with regard to their role as illustrated publications on the subject of colour. Gartside’s works are exemplary of a category of experimental illustrated books published shortly before the rise of lithography. In the early nineteenth century, authors and publishers were faced with the challenge of adequately representing concepts of colour in colour and relied largely on the work-intensive method of hand-colouring. These books are now rare and reflect a particular phase in print culture and in the material history of colour studies. The chapter closely examines Gartside’s books and sets them into the context of earlier, contemporary and later illustrated publications on colour. 01 01 JB code z.191.26arm 06 10.1075/z.191.26arm 397 412 16 Article 36 01 04 Lighting up Shakespeare Lighting up Shakespeare 01 04 The metamerism of Jacobean stage lighting using LED technology The metamerism of Jacobean stage lighting using LED technology 1 A01 01 JB code 277223110 Emma Armstrong Armstrong, Emma Emma Armstrong Renfrewshire Arts and Museums, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/277223110 2 A01 01 JB code 616223111 Joe Stathers-Tracey Stathers-Tracey, Joe Joe Stathers-Tracey Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/616223111 01 eng 30 00 The Jacobean artificial light – candlelight – was as important to the playwright as lighting effects are to a modern-day designer. This chapter explores the recreation of candlelight using a safe alternative, the most modern of technology and the future of stage lighting: LEDs. In order to recreate the candlelight of Shakespeare’s stage, the research is categorized into three sections: replicating the Jacobean stage accurately, achieving a colour match for the tallow candles using LEDs and creating the ambience and “flicker” a candle emits. This is then applied practically and allowed a play to be seen authentically and uniquely whilst also revealing interesting results from experimental data. 01 01 JB code z.191.27ind 06 10.1075/z.191.27ind 413 417 5 Miscellaneous 37 01 04 Index Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/z.191 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20141126 C 2014 John Benjamins D 2014 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 9 14 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 105.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 88.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 9 14 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 158.00 USD 425015440 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code Z 191 Eb 15 9789027269195 06 10.1075/z.191 00 EA E107 11 01 JB code jbe-all 01 02 Full EBA collection (ca. 4,200 titles) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-all 01 02 Complete backlist (3,208 titles, 1967–2015) 05 02 Complete backlist (1967–2015) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-linguistics 01 02 Subject collection: Linguistics (2,773 titles, 1967–2015) 05 02 Linguistics (1967–2015) 01 01 Colour Studies A broad spectrum Colour Studies: A broad spectrum 1 B01 01 JB code 884209154 Wendy Anderson Anderson, Wendy Wendy Anderson University of Glasgow 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/884209154 2 B01 01 JB code 317209155 Carole P.

Many are represented here, including anthropology, archaeology, the fine arts, linguistics, onomastics, philosophy, psychology and vision science. The chapters have been developed from papers and posters presented at the Progress in Colour Studies (PICS12) conference held at the University of Glasgow. Papers from the earlier PICS04 and PICS08 conferences were published by John Benjamins as Progress in Colour Studies, 2 volumes, 2006 and New Directions in Colour Studies, 2011, respectively. The opening chapter of this new volume stems from the conference keynote talk on prehistoric colour semantics by Carole P. Biggam. The remaining chapters are grouped into three sections: colour and linguistics; colour categorization, naming and preference; and colour and the world. Each section is preceded by a short preface drawing together the themes of the chapters within it. There are thirty-one colour illustrations. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/z.191.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027212191.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027212191.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/z.191.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/z.191.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/z.191.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/z.191.hb.png 01 01 JB code z.191.001pre 06 10.1075/z.191.001pre ix ix 1 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Preface Preface 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.002ack 06 10.1075/z.191.002ack x x 1 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.003abb 06 10.1075/z.191.003abb xi xiv 4 Miscellaneous 3 01 04 Abbreviations Abbreviations 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s1 06 10.1075/z.191.s1 Section header 4 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.01big 06 10.1075/z.191.01big 3 28 26 Article 5 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 04 A contradiction in terms A contradiction in terms 1 A01 01 JB code 979223063 Carole P.

The chapter is primarily concerned with the earliest basic colour categories (BCCs) of the Indo-European languages, and the approach taken is to combine various techniques from more than one discipline and to see whether the results corroborate or contradict each other. Linguistic approaches include etymology, core concepts, the UE model, cognates and prototypes while supporting evidence is brought to bear from archaeology, anthropology, art history and the earliest Indo-European texts in Hittite and Vedic Sanskrit. 01 01 JB code z.191.s2 06 10.1075/z.191.s2 Section header 6 01 04 Colour and Linguistics Colour and Linguistics 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s2a 06 10.1075/z.191.s2a 29 30 2 Miscellaneous 7 01 04 Preface to Section II Preface to Section II 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.02bor 06 10.1075/z.191.02bor 31 52 22 Article 8 01 04 Towards a historical and cultural atlas of colour terms in the Near East Towards a historical and cultural atlas of colour terms in the Near East 01 04 Remarks on GREEN and BLUE in some Arabic and Aramaic vernaculars Remarks on GREEN and BLUE in some Arabic and Aramaic vernaculars 1 A01 01 JB code 356223064 Alexander Borg Borg, Alexander Alexander Borg 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/356223064 01 eng 30 00 This chapter addresses evolutionary aspects tangential to the categorization of green and blue in selected contemporary varieties of Arabic and Aramaic spoken in the Near East. Its objective is to focus attention on the need for a combined linguistic and cultural study of this region on a macro-areal scale, after the model of R. E. MacLaury’s (1997) Mesoamerican colour survey. The present research intimates that the Bedouin Arabic hybrid colour paradigm – with its minimal set of basic categories, lexicalized alongside an elaborate word-stock for non-basic, (though functionally salient) unsaturated, natural hues (of livestock, steppe terrain, and more) – represents an early evolutionary stage in Semitic colour categorization focused essentially on brightness values. Hence the undifferentiated dark / cool region of the Old Arabic spectrum covered by the basic term axd̩ar “green, blue, and black”. The comparative chromatic data here adduced from ancient and modern Semitic suggest that the tendency to fuse green and blue into a single category in this region represents a relic trait in certain parts of the Near East, concomitant with a still ongoing shift from brightness to hue categories. 01 01 JB code z.191.03gra 06 10.1075/z.191.03gra 53 66 14 Article 9 01 04 The evolution of GRUE The evolution of GRUE 01 04 Evidence for a new colour term in the language of the Himba Evidence for a new colour term in the language of the Himba 1 A01 01 JB code 904223065 Alexandra Grandison Grandison, Alexandra Alexandra Grandison University of Surrey, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/904223065 2 A01 01 JB code 238223066 Ian R.L.

The categories used to describe this continuum vary across the world’s languages and there are marked differences in the numbers of colour categories and the locations of category boundaries. For example, the green–blue region of colour space is labelled with two terms in English but with only one term (a “grue” term) in many African languages. Evidence for a “grue” term in Otjiherero – a language spoken by the Himba of northern Namibia – has been well documented. Here we present data from colour list and colour naming tasks indicating the emergence of a new Himba colour term. These findings have significant implications for future cross-cultural research into colour categorization. 01 01 JB code z.191.04uus 06 10.1075/z.191.04uus 67 78 12 Article 10 01 04 Linguistic categorization of BLUE in Standard Italian Linguistic categorization of BLUE in Standard Italian 1 A01 01 JB code 2223068 Mari Uusküla Uusküla, Mari Mari Uusküla 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/2223068 01 eng 30 00 The chapter aims to establish the status of three salient colour terms for blue: blu, azzurro and celeste, in the standard variety of Italian. A number of experiments were performed to examine the context-free and context-sensitive behaviour of blue terms. The results, consistent with previous studies, reveal that Italian speakers tend to distinguish lighter blue(s) from darker blue in daily speech, regarding them as autonomous categories. Although blu seems to be the most prevalent term, used with high consensus, both azzurro and celeste also tend to be salient high-frequency terms. The choice between azzurro and celeste depends on speakers’ dialectal background. Furthermore, it is conjectured which linguistic and non-linguistic factors tend to bias the linguistic categorization of colour terms in general. 01 01 JB code z.191.05swe 06 10.1075/z.191.05swe 79 92 14 Article 11 01 04 From blood to worms From blood to worms 01 04 The semantic evolution of a Portuguese colour term The semantic evolution of a Portuguese colour term 1 A01 01 JB code 437223069 Andrew Swearingen Swearingen, Andrew Andrew Swearingen 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/437223069 01 eng 30 00 The historical record provides evidence of an apparent semantic shift in the denotational range of the Portuguese colour term roxo, whereby its referent, initially designating the colour red, came to designate the colour purple. Drawing on colour term research from the World Colour Survey, prototype theory and cognitive semantics, I argue that such a process was set in motion by an adjacent semantic shift in the colour term vermelho from non-basic to the basic colour term for red in Portuguese. Supported by empirical evidence from historical texts as well as comparative linguistics, I document an overall timeline for this change and argue that extra-linguistic factors involving the dyeing industry in Iberia serve as the motivation for these shifts, a view supported by colour term cognates in other Ibero-Romance varieties such as Catalan and Galician. The evolution of Portuguese roxo and vermelho provides an example of one possible evolutionary path that basic colour terms can take in the history of a language, demonstrating the cognitive mechanics involved in the division and shift of colour category boundaries and the relocation of prototypes. 01 01 JB code z.191.06oja 06 10.1075/z.191.06oja 93 108 16 Article 12 01 04 The motivational analysis of some Finnic colour terms The motivational analysis of some Finnic colour terms 1 A01 01 JB code 47223070 Vilja Oja Oja, Vilja Vilja Oja 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/47223070 01 eng 30 00 The origin and semantics of some (non Indo-European) Finnic colour words denoting the yellow, red and brown hues are discussed, including their various earlier interpretations. All the words discussed, namely, ruske, raudjas, lepp, leet and paat (with variations and cognates) have similarities with word-roots in Indo-European languages, for example, among the Finnic colour names with the raud- stem there are Germanic and Baltic loanwords, all originating in the same root. The chapter includes a new hypothesis as to the semantic origin of words from the lepp- stem, and it explores aspects of the morphological and semantic changes which occurred in the adopted words. These include examples of mistaken folk-etymology in connection with leet and paat / paatti, and investigation of the dialectal meanings of the ruske-based lexemes which vary from orange to red and brown hues. 01 01 JB code z.191.07san 06 10.1075/z.191.07san 109 125 17 Article 13 01 04 Her blue eyes are red Her blue eyes are red 01 04 An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy in English An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy in English 1 A01 01 JB code 712223071 Jodi L.

Sandford 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/712223071 01 eng 30 00 The lexical frame of color as a primary experience is often used to exemplify linguistic theories and yet there is still a lack of a cognitive color model. Cognitive linguistics establishes meaning in a central role through the ideas of embodied experience and cognitive models that are evinced through usage-based analysis. I present the fifth type of distinction in a conceptual mapping of color in English; four types have been presented earlier in Sandford (2010, 2011a and 2011b). The new part of this mapping is Conceptual Color Metonymy, based on one hundred random examples of each of six basic color terms extracted from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. An idealized cognitive model of conceptual color metonymy mapping reveals primary conceptual correlations in experience, and the predominant conceptualization mechanism pattern that emerged from this study is color attribute (is access) for conceptual space. 01 01 JB code z.191.08ale 06 10.1075/z.191.08ale 126 139 14 Article 14 01 04 The spread of RED in the Historical Thesaurus of English The spread of RED in the Historical Thesaurus of English 1 A01 01 JB code 173223072 Marc Alexander Alexander, Marc Marc Alexander University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/173223072 2 A01 01 JB code 485223073 Christian Kay Kay, Christian Christian Kay University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/485223073 01 eng 30 00 The basic colour category red and its exponents occupies an important place in the development of colour vocabulary, whether in the evolution of colour perception, infant language learning, or the history of particular languages.

Comparison with other English BCCs shows that red has by far the largest number of exponents over history and the steepest increase in lexis in the modern period. The close relationship of red and pink, the youngest of the English BCCs, is also explored. 01 01 JB code z.191.09and 06 10.1075/z.191.09and 140 152 13 Article 15 01 04 A metaphorical spectrum A metaphorical spectrum 01 04 Surveying colour terms in English Surveying colour terms in English 1 A01 01 JB code 65223074 Wendy Anderson Anderson, Wendy Wendy Anderson University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/65223074 2 A01 01 JB code 144223075 Ellen Bramwell Bramwell, Ellen Ellen Bramwell University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/144223075 01 eng 30 00 This chapter investigates the figurative use of a selection of colour words in the Historical Thesaurus of English, published as the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (Kay et al. 2009) and containing the recorded vocabulary of the language from Old English to the present. The adopted methodology slightly adapts that of the AHRC-funded Mapping Metaphor project, which is examining the distribution of metaphors across time in English through an investigation of metaphorical links between concepts signalled by areas of significant lexical overlap between Thesaurus categories. In this chapter, we empirically examine metaphorical and other relationships between colour and a range of other semantic categories, through the examples of the colour terms black, white, blue, yellow and green. 01 01 JB code z.191.10ham 06 10.1075/z.191.10ham 153 166 14 Article 16 01 04 Exploring the metaphorical use of colour with the Historical Thesaurus of English Exploring the metaphorical use of colour with the Historical Thesaurus of English 01 04 A case study of purple and lavender A case study of purple and lavender 1 A01 01 JB code 650223076 Rachael Hamilton Hamilton, Rachael Rachael Hamilton 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/650223076 01 eng 30 00 Previous research into metaphors containing colour terms has focused on the primary basic colour terms, yet examples can also be found with the secondary basic and non-basic colour terms. A case study of the colour terms purple and lavender is presented here. Situated within the Mapping Metaphor project, this analysis utilizes the unique data source, the Historical Thesaurus. In addition to thesaurus data, dictionaries were consulted to establish the etymologies of metaphorical phrases. Finally, corpus evidence was used to establish current usage of such phrases. 01 01 JB code z.191.s3 06 10.1075/z.191.s3 Section header 17 01 04 Colour categorization, naming and preference Colour categorization, naming and preference 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s3b 06 10.1075/z.191.s3b 167 168 2 Miscellaneous 18 01 04 Preface to Section III Preface to Section III 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.11fra 06 10.1075/z.191.11fra 169 180 12 Article 19 01 04 The case for infant colour categories The case for infant colour categories 1 A01 01 JB code 725223077 Anna Franklin Franklin, Anna Anna Franklin University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/725223077 2 A01 01 JB code 800223078 Alice Skelton Skelton, Alice Alice Skelton University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/800223078 3 A01 01 JB code 99223079 Gemma Catchpole Catchpole, Gemma Gemma Catchpole University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/99223079 01 eng 30 00 Over the last four decades, evidence has accumulated to suggest that infants parse the continuum of colour into discrete categories. For example, multiple studies suggest that infants’ recognition memory treats discriminably different colours from the same category as if they are equivalent (e.g. Bornstein, Kessen and Weiskopf, 1976; Franklin and Davies, 2004). Despite the converging evidence, the existence of infant colour categories remains controversial. Here, we examine the evidence for and against the case for infant colour categories and consider alternative non-categorical explanations for prior findings. We also discuss a series of challenging theoretical questions on how infant colour categories relate to those in language, and on how infants could categorize colour in the absence of language. 01 01 JB code z.191.12ded 06 10.1075/z.191.12ded 181 199 19 Article 20 01 04 Bornstein's paradox (redux) Bornstein’s paradox (redux) 1 A01 01 JB code 560223080 Don Dedrick Dedrick, Don Don Dedrick 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/560223080 01 eng 30 00 The psychologist Marc Bornstein suggested it was surprising that (a) non-linguistic infants demonstrated categorical perception of colour and (b) such categorical perception did not facilitate the learning of colour names (Bornstein 1985). This is “Bornstein’s paradox” and it has been articulated by a number of researchers since 1985. The purpose of this paper is to argue that there is in fact no paradox. Susan Carey’s idea of “core cognition” is extended to colour categorization and it is argued that, if colour is a domain of core cognition, the development from initial infant colour experience need not be continuous with linguistic experience (Carey 2009). This argument makes reference to Carey’s work on object permanence, and number as analogous to colour naming. 01 01 JB code z.191.13wit 06 10.1075/z.191.13wit 200 211 12 Article 21 01 04 Category effects on colour discrimination Category effects on colour discrimination 1 A01 01 JB code 164223081 Christoph Witzel Witzel, Christoph Christoph Witzel University of Sussex, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/164223081 2 A01 01 JB code 495223082 Karl R.

We conducted an extensive series of studies on categorical perception of colour. We studied category effects on colour sensitivity, on the performance in a speeded discrimination task and on the subjective appearance of difference. One of the core contributions of our studies is the careful control of perceptual differences when investigating the interaction between perceptual and categorical information. In sum, only speeded discrimination with untrained participants yielded robust category effects. The comparison of the results from the different studies shows that category effects are not inherent to colour perception. Instead, we suggest that attention to the categorical distinction is at the root of the category effect. 01 01 JB code z.191.14wri 06 10.1075/z.191.14wri 212 224 13 Article 22 01 04 Colour category effects Colour category effects 01 04 Evidence from asymmetries in task performance Evidence from asymmetries in task performance 1 A01 01 JB code 927223083 Oliver Wright Wright, Oliver Oliver Wright 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/927223083 01 eng 30 00 This chapter provides an overview of recent experiments (Hanley and Roberson 2011; Wright 2012) investigating asymmetries in performance of two kinds of task, two-alternative forced choice (2-AFC) and visual search. Previous research has reported colour category effects in performance of both tasks and suggests such category effects can be interpreted as evidence of a Whorfian effect. Two key questions addressed here are: first, whether asymmetries in performance of 2-AFC and visual search tasks might also represent a Whorfian effect, and second, whether asymmetries in the two tasks can be accommodated within a framework that implies Whorfian effects in the domain of colour depend critically on on-line stimulus categorization. In addition to interpretations that offer affirmative answers to these questions, alternative interpretations are considered. 01 01 JB code z.191.15myl 06 10.1075/z.191.15myl 225 239 15 Article 23 01 04 Gender differences in colour naming Gender differences in colour naming 1 A01 01 JB code 410223084 Dimitris Mylonas Mylonas, Dimitris Dimitris Mylonas University College London, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410223084 2 A01 01 JB code 734223085 Galina V.

Each participant named twenty colours selected from 600 Munsell samples, presented one at a time against a neutral background. Colour names and typing onset response times were registered. For the eleven basic colour terms, elicitation frequency was comparable for both genders. Females demonstrated more elaborated colour vocabulary, with more descriptors in general and more non-basic monolexemic terms; they also named colours faster than males. The two genders differ in the repertoire of frequent colour terms: a Bayesian synthetic observer revealed that women segment colour space linguistically more densely in the “warm” area whereas men do so in the “cool” area. Current “nurture” and “nature” explanations of why females excel in colour naming behaviour are considered. 01 01 JB code z.191.16bim 06 10.1075/z.191.16bim 240 257 18 Article 24 01 04 Personality and gender-schemata contributions to colour preferences Personality and gender-schemata contributions to colour preferences 1 A01 01 JB code 311223087 David Bimler Bimler, David David Bimler Massey University, New Zealand 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/311223087 2 A01 01 JB code 638223088 Jennifer Brunt Brunt, Jennifer Jennifer Brunt University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/638223088 3 A01 01 JB code 670223089 Laura Lanning Lanning, Laura Laura Lanning University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/670223089 4 A01 01 JB code 965223090 Valérie Bonnardel Bonnardel, Valérie Valérie Bonnardel University of Winchester, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/965223090 01 eng 30 00 A gender difference in color preference has been repeatedly reported among English speakers, with a secondary preference among females for pink-purple colors, modulating a primary preference from both sexes for “cool” over “warm” hues. However, this group difference leaves much individual variation in preference patterns unaccounted-for. Here we examine personality traits and gender schemata as possible determinants. Preference choices across sixteen hue samples were elicited from 120 young British psychology students, who also rated themselves on the International Personality Item Pool and Bem Sex Role Inventory questionnaires. Principal Component Analysis reduced their individual preference variations to four prototypical patterns. Some associations emerged between preference and personality; these may be culturally determined. Links with gender schemata were less substantial. 01 01 JB code z.191.17sta 06 10.1075/z.191.17sta 258 272 15 Article 25 01 04 Axiological aspects of Polish colour vocabulary Axiological aspects of Polish colour vocabulary 01 04 A study of associations A study of associations 1 A01 01 JB code 410223091 Danuta Stanulewicz Stanulewicz, Danuta Danuta Stanulewicz University of Gdansk 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410223091 2 A01 01 JB code 712223092 Ewa Komorowska Komorowska, Ewa Ewa Komorowska University of Szczecin 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/712223092 3 A01 01 JB code 878223093 Adam Pawłowski Pawłowski, Adam Adam Pawłowski University of Wroclaw, Poland 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/878223093 01 eng 30 00 The aim of this paper is to investigate axiological attributes of Polish colour terms. We pose the following questions: Which colours are evaluated mostly positively, negatively and neutrally? Are there objects which are provided as both positive and negative associations of a single colour? Are the same associations evoked by different colours? We carried out a questionnaire among fifty Polish speakers. The results point to colours which are perceived most positively (green, blue and orange), negatively (grey and black), neutrally (brown), and ambivalently (red). Moreover, an association may be classified as positive, neutral or negative (e.g. blood associated with red). One association may also be provided for two colours, e.g. death as a negative association with black and white. 01 01 JB code z.191.18chi 06 10.1075/z.191.18chi 273 286 14 Article 26 01 04 The metaphysical significance of colour categorization The metaphysical significance of colour categorization 01 04 Mind, world, and their complicated relationship Mind, world, and their complicated relationship 1 A01 01 JB code 267223094 Mazviita Chirimuuta Chirimuuta, Mazviita Mazviita Chirimuuta 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/267223094 01 eng 30 00 In this chapter I approach the ancient metaphysical question concerning the reality – or otherwise – of colour. Certain philosophers (Hardin 1993; Pautz 2006) have argued that the existence of colour categories, and colour spaces which instantiate similarity relationships between the categories, give reason for concluding that colour is an entirely subjective and illusory phenomenon. In this chapter I argue instead that an understanding of categorization gives us strong motivation for rejecting any simple dichotomy between real / physical properties and unreal / psychological attributes. This undermines the extreme anti-realist view and leads to a novel argument in favour of a relationist theory of colour, according to which colours are perceiver-dependent but nonetheless real properties of objects. 01 01 JB code z.191.s4 06 10.1075/z.191.s4 Section header 27 01 04 Colour and the World Colour and the World 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.s4c 06 10.1075/z.191.s4c 287 289 3 Miscellaneous 28 01 04 Preface to Section IV Preface to Section IV 01 eng 01 01 JB code z.191.19ple 06 10.1075/z.191.19ple 291 306 16 Article 29 01 04 Color seeing and speaking Color seeing and speaking 01 04 Effects of biology, environment and language Effects of biology, environment and language 1 A01 01 JB code 287223095 Alessio Plebe Plebe, Alessio Alessio Plebe University of Messina, Italy 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/287223095 2 A01 01 JB code 578223096 Vivian M.

Recent studies on the Berinmo and Himba languages have challenged the mainstream view about the universalism of color terms. These cases can also be helpful in investigating the possible impact the environment can have, since the landscapes in which the two groups live are drastically different.  We propose a computational model of visual and linguistic processing paths in the cortex, previously used for simulating the influence of Berinmo and Himba color terms, and extended for investigating the combined effects of language and environment. 01 01 JB code z.191.20dun 06 10.1075/z.191.20dun 307 322 16 Article 30 01 04 Colour terms in the names of coastal and inland features Colour terms in the names of coastal and inland features 01 04 A study of four Berwickshire parishes A study of four Berwickshire parishes 1 A01 01 JB code 27223097 Leonie Mhari Mhari, Leonie Leonie Mhari University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/27223097 2 A01 01 JB code 332223098 Carole Hough Hough, Carole Carole Hough University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/332223098 01 eng 30 00 This chapter presents a study of colour terms in the names of four parishes within the historic county of Berwickshire in south-east Scotland. Out of 1,895 marked features on the first-edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1856, sixty-nine (3.64%) have names containing colour terms. These fall into two groups: base names, where the feature was named directly from the colour, and derived names, where the base name has been used to name another feature. Comparison of inland and coastal names reveals different profiles, with derived names more commonly generated inland, but colour terms more salient in coastal names. 01 01 JB code z.191.21ani 06 10.1075/z.191.21ani 323 338 16 Article 31 01 04 Referential meaning in basic and non-basic color terms Referential meaning in basic and non-basic color terms 1 A01 01 JB code 892223099 Alena V.

Although most linguistic studies share the assumption about the central role of the reference-related aspects in understanding the semantic structure of color words, the methods for accessing and operationalizing this type of meaning remain rather limited. We propose that a usage-based bottom-up analysis of referentially-enriched multimodal data can provide additional possibilities for modeling the semantics of basic and non-basic color terms. The analysis focuses on the referential range of individual color terms as a basis for identifying different types of color terms used in online marketing and discusses the implications for the semantic relations between color terms based on their referential overlap. 01 01 JB code z.191.22mio 06 10.1075/z.191.22mio 339 351 13 Article 32 01 04 Unfolding colour in mind and language Unfolding colour in mind and language 01 04 Strategies for colour denotation in Spanish wine-tasting notes Strategies for colour denotation in Spanish wine-tasting notes 1 A01 01 JB code 531223102 Marzenna Mioduszewska Mioduszewska, Marzenna Marzenna Mioduszewska 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/531223102 01 eng 30 00 This chapter explores possible strategies for colour naming used during wine-tasting procedures conducted in Spanish. It is based on an ongoing project which studies perceptually-grounded spatial models emerging from the analysis of colour, taste, touch and odour. The results of behavioural experiments are compared with a corpus of expert wine notes. A new categorization system is presented and compared with other colour naming patterns. The reasons for its application are hypothesized. The second argument discussed in the chapter deals with the lack of common grounding between individual perception and its social coding in language. 01 01 JB code z.191.23moo 06 10.1075/z.191.23moo 352 365 14 Article 33 01 04 Synaesthetic associations Synaesthetic associations 01 04 Exploring the colours of voices Exploring the colours of voices 1 A01 01 JB code 216223103 Anja Moos Moos, Anja Anja Moos University of Glasgow, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/216223103 2 A01 01 JB code 264223104 David R.

After extensive research on other types of synaesthesia, this study is the first to investigate voice-induced synaesthesia on a group level, and to compare results with phoneticians and control participants. It was found that pitch and pitch range of a voice influenced brightness and colour associations with a voice for all groups. Group differences were mainly found in verbal descriptions of the voices: many synaesthetes used their additional perceptions to describe the voice, phoneticians used technical terms, and controls mostly described (personality) characteristics of the speaker. 01 01 JB code z.191.24pra 06 10.1075/z.191.24pra 366 379 14 Article 34 01 04 Bach to the blues Bach to the blues 01 04 Color, music and emotion across cultures Color, music and emotion across cultures 1 A01 01 JB code 836223106 Lilia R.

The experimental stimuli were thirty-seven colors and eighteen brief samples of classical orchestral music that varied in mode and tempo. Music that was faster and in a major key was associated with brighter, more saturated, warmer colors and was judged to be happier and stronger, whereas music that was slower and in a minor key was associated with darker, less saturated, cooler colors and judged to be sadder, weaker and calmer. We observed high correlations between the emotional associations of music and the emotional associations of the colors, being highest for happy / sad (r = .97) and lowest for angry / calm (r =.68). These results are very similar to the pattern found in North America. 01 01 JB code z.191.25los 06 10.1075/z.191.25los 380 396 17 Article 35 01 04 "Miss Gartside's immediate eye" “Miss Gartside’s immediate eye” 01 04 An examination of Mary Gartside's publications on colour between 1805 and 1808 in the context of illustrated colour literature and paint manuals of the early nineteenth century An examination of Mary Gartside’s publications on colour between 1805 and 1808 in the context of illustrated colour literature and paint manuals of the early nineteenth century 1 A01 01 JB code 667223109 Alexandra Loske Loske, Alexandra Alexandra Loske 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/667223109 01 eng 30 00 This chapter examines three publications by the English colour theorist Mary Gartside (active 1781–1809) with regard to their role as illustrated publications on the subject of colour. Gartside’s works are exemplary of a category of experimental illustrated books published shortly before the rise of lithography. In the early nineteenth century, authors and publishers were faced with the challenge of adequately representing concepts of colour in colour and relied largely on the work-intensive method of hand-colouring. These books are now rare and reflect a particular phase in print culture and in the material history of colour studies. The chapter closely examines Gartside’s books and sets them into the context of earlier, contemporary and later illustrated publications on colour. 01 01 JB code z.191.26arm 06 10.1075/z.191.26arm 397 412 16 Article 36 01 04 Lighting up Shakespeare Lighting up Shakespeare 01 04 The metamerism of Jacobean stage lighting using LED technology The metamerism of Jacobean stage lighting using LED technology 1 A01 01 JB code 277223110 Emma Armstrong Armstrong, Emma Emma Armstrong Renfrewshire Arts and Museums, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/277223110 2 A01 01 JB code 616223111 Joe Stathers-Tracey Stathers-Tracey, Joe Joe Stathers-Tracey Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, UK 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/616223111 01 eng 30 00 The Jacobean artificial light – candlelight – was as important to the playwright as lighting effects are to a modern-day designer. This chapter explores the recreation of candlelight using a safe alternative, the most modern of technology and the future of stage lighting: LEDs. In order to recreate the candlelight of Shakespeare’s stage, the research is categorized into three sections: replicating the Jacobean stage accurately, achieving a colour match for the tallow candles using LEDs and creating the ambience and “flicker” a candle emits.

Many are represented here, including anthropology, archaeology, the fine arts, linguistics, onomastics, philosophy, psychology and vision science. The chapters have been developed from papers and posters presented at the Progress in Colour Studies (PICS12) conference held at the University of Glasgow. Papers from the earlier PICS04 and PICS08 conferences were published by John Benjamins as Progress in Colour Studies, 2 volumes, 2006 and New Directions in Colour Studies, 2011, respectively. The opening chapter of this new volume stems from the conference keynote talk on prehistoric colour semantics by Carole P. Biggam. The remaining chapters are grouped into three sections: colour and linguistics; colour categorization, naming and preference; and colour and the world. Each section is preceded by a short preface drawing together the themes of the chapters within it. There are thirty-one colour illustrations. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/z.191.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027212191.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027212191.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/z.191.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/z.191.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/z.191.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/z.191.hb.png 01 01 JB code z.191.001pre 06 10.1075/z.191.001pre ix ix 1 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Preface Preface 01 01 JB code z.191.002ack 06 10.1075/z.191.002ack x x 1 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 01 JB code z.191.003abb 06 10.1075/z.191.003abb xi xiv 4 Miscellaneous 3 01 04 Abbreviations Abbreviations 01 01 JB code z.191.s1 06 10.1075/z.191.s1 Section header 4 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 01 JB code z.191.01big 06 10.1075/z.191.01big 3 28 26 Article 5 01 04 Prehistoric colour semantics Prehistoric colour semantics 01 04 A contradiction in terms A contradiction in terms 1 A01 01 JB code 979223063 Carole P.
