Abstract:

This monograph provides, for the first time, a comprehensive historical
analysis of German colour words from early beginnings to the present, based on
data obtained from over one thousand texts.

Part 1 reviews previous work in colour linguistics. 

Part 2 describes and documents the formation of popular colour taxonomies and
specialised nomenclatures in German across many periods and fields. The
textual data examined will be of relevance to cultural historians in fields as
far apart as philosophy, religious symbolism, medicine, mineralogy, optics,
fine art, fashion, and dyeing technology.

Part 3 — the core of the work — traces linguistic developments in systematic
detail across more than twelve centuries. Special attention is given to the
evolving meanings of colour terms, their connotative values, figurative
extensions, morphological productivity, and lexicographical registration. New
light is shed on a range of scholarly issues and controversies, in ways
relevant to German lexicologists and to specialists in other languages,
notably French and English.
