Annotation
The semantic analysis of color vocabulary provides insight into models of perception and thinking. Color and coloring play an important role in the way phenomena of human perception and reflection are conceptualized. Various linguistic and cultural connotations related to colors in specific contexts are explored and a semantic analysis of the role of color in these contexts is given, with reference to Czech color words.
