All chapters are developed from papers first presented at the Progress in Colour Studies 2022 (PICS2022) conference, held at Tallinn University, Estonia. Building on the results of earlier PICS meetings and publications, this book continues the series’ tradition of offering fresh perspectives on colour across languages and cultures. The contributions examine colour in linguistic contexts ranging from semantics and pragmatics to translation, lexicography, and discourse, employing approaches such as corpus-based analysis and experimental methods. Some chapters formulate broad discussions on colour and its role in language and culture, while others present in-depth studies of single colour terms such those denoting red, green, grey, orange, or beige. The volume’s international scope is reflected in the diversity of languages represented. The book opens with an editorial preface situating the contributions within the broader field. It also includes a comprehensive subject index and numerous illustrations. Taken together, these studies make the volume an essential resource for scholars interested in the linguistic dimensions of colour and their broader cognitive and cultural implications.
