Abstract:

This work looks at basic colour terms in Modern Irish by presenting
the historical development of these terms since their earliest
attestation and in comparison with the other Gaelic languages, namely,
Scottish Gaelic and Manx. These terms are analysed based on
lexicographical and didactic material, as well as their use in
placenames and proverbs, resources with great potential but which have
been underused in colour terminology research in general. Its
conclusion is the presentation of fieldwork results with native
speakers from all major Irish dialects based on their responses to the
colours of items in pictures, research which has never been previously
conducted, to see whether their use of colour terminology matches that
as presented, and to comment on the current state of Irish basic
colour terminology.
