Abstract

The article discusses semantic change and lexical replacement processes in the color domain, based on color naming studies in seven Germanic languages and from different generations of speakers in a single language. Change in the color domain often begins and ends in conceptual peripheries, and I argue that this perspective is suitable for other semantic domains as well.
