Color Naming Reflects Both Perceptual Structure and Communicative Need
Topics in Cognitive Science 11 (1):207-219 (2019)
Abstract
Systems for color naming across languages have been a fascinating topic for decades. Zaslavsky and colleagues challenge Gibson's argument that color names are shaped by patterns of communicative need. Using an information‐theoretic analysis, they show that color naming is shaped by both perceptual structure (as is usually argued) but also by communication need.Author's Profile
