Variations in color naming within and across populations
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 28 (4):512-513 (2005)
Abstract
The simulations of Steels & Belpaeme (S&B) suggest that communication could lead to color categories that are closely shared within a language and potentially diverge across languages. We argue that this is opposite of the patterns that are actually observed in empirical studies of color naming. Focal color choices more often exhibit strong concordance across languages while also showing pronounced variability within any language.Author's Profile
