Dany Jaspers,
CRISSP (HUBrussels, KULeuven)</b></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">In
this talk on quantifiers, colour percepts and
colour concepts, proof
will be provided that Wittgenstein</span></font></font></font><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
was right when he wrote in his “Remarks on Colour”
(1977:
III-46): “Among the colours: Kinship and Contrast.
(And that is
logic)”. It will be argued that his and the Vienna
Circle</span></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
intuition about the link between colour and logic
has to be taken
literally. Relations of opposition between primary
and secondary
chromatic percepts can indeed be shown to be
algebraically the same
as those between the three primary items (</span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>all,
some, none</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">)
in the lexical class of quantifiers and their
contradictories.
Moreover, this surprising homology manifests
itself in parallel
asymmetries of lexicalisation. </span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">For
logical operators Blanché (1953, 1969), Horn
(1972, 1989, 1990,
2012) and others since have discussed the
so-called O-corner problem,
i.e. the artificial nature of single-item
lexicalisation </span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>nand</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
for the propositional operator in the Boethian
O-corner and the
nonexistence of the corresponding O-corner
predicate calculus
operators </span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>*nall,
*noth</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
(= not-both), etc. For the purposes of single-word
lexicalisation,
the traditional square apparently seems to be “</span></font></font></font><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="nl-NL">dépourvue
de
son poste O</span></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">”
(Blanché 1953, 95); in Horn’s terms: “a
three-cornered square”. In the realm of colour
terms, a similar bifurcation between natural
(</span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>RGBY</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">)
and nonnatural specialised lexis (including </span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>cyan</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">,
for instance</span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB"><i>)</i></span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
is observed. </span></font></font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">Starting
from the asymmetries, it will be shown how small
subsets of logical
and colour terms are organised by the same system
of oppositions and
very commonly lexicalized cross-linguistically, as
if by conceptual
pressure, while other terms are less frequently
lexicalized, with
lexicalisation largely determined by utility or
frequency. This
bifurcation will be shown to be due to a
constraint on concept
formation. The latter suggests that Hauser,
Chomsky and Fitch’s
(2002) distinction between </span></font></font></font><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">an
internal computational system FLN (Faculty of
language-narrow sense)
and an internal computational system plus its
accompanying
"sensory-motor" and "conceptual-intentional"
systems FLB (Faculty of language-broad sense)</font></font><font color="#131413"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><span lang="en-GB">
might be applicable to individual components of
the linguistic
system, in casu the lexicon. </span></font></font></font>
