Human
societies name and classify colours in various ways. Knowing this,
is it possible to retrieve colour systems from the past? This book presents
the basic principles of modern colour semantics, including the recognition
of basic vocabulary, sub-sets, specialized terms, and the significance of non-
colour features. Each point is illustrated by case studies drawn from modern
and historical languages from around the world. These include discussions
of Icelandic horses, Peruvian guinea-pigs, medieval roses, the colour yellow
in Stuart England, and Polynesian children s colour terms. Major techniques
used in colour research are presented and discussed, such as the evolutionary
sequence, Natural Semantic Metalanguage, and vantage theory. The book also
addresses whether we can understand the colour systems of the past, including
prehistory, by combining various semantic techniques currently used in both
modern and historical colour research with archaeological and environmental
information.
