Abstract:

This volume presents recent research in colour studies with a
particular focus on language, offering both continuity and innovation
within the field. 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.
