Collocations of Basic Color Terms and Emotion Terms in Spanish Versus ChineseEmotions are internal states that can be difficult to describe verbally. Worldwide, emotions are frequently conveyed, either metonymically or metaphorically, by color terms, although differences in color-emotion associations are observed cross- linguistically and cross-culturally. In this paper, we adopted a corpus-based approach to this issue and searched for collocations in Spanish versus Chinese of 13 color terms (the basic color terms in Spanish) and the 20 basic emotion terms (from the Geneve Emotion Wheel). |
Blue Morphos Have a Cool ColorI first encountered the blue morpho in Kai Kupferschmidt’s book, Blue: In Search of Nature’s Rarest Color, which I reviewed in Issue 504 of ISCC News. There I learned about a tricky problem that the butterfly appears to have solved through natural selection. Interference patterns can lead to brilliant structural colors, but the color you see generally depends on the angles of illumination and viewing. |
