Extralinguistic basis of color coding

Abstract

© 2020, Universidad del Zulia. All rights reserved. This study interferes with peculiarities of world perception by various ethnic groups, reflected in the lexical layer of the language. Vocabulary is related to colour designation because it is one of the most relevant categories of cognition of the world. Colour perception is one of the most important aspects for representatives of any linguistic culture. When characterizing the colour of an object, a person can not only denote the features of its appearance in terms of colour but also convey important information. The language material (as colourative units) was mainly representedby adjectives which were appearing in the text of the study and contextual correspondences.
