The Role of Cognition in Decoding Color-encoded Information
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article looks into the constituent elements of the nominative field of the notion 'COLOUR'. We focus on English lexical elements that denote colours, taking into account their semantic links, hierarchical structures, and contextual usage. The study uses a combination of corpus-based and cognitive semantic methodologies to uncover significant components such as basic colour terms, derived terms, metaphorical extensions, and culturally unique variations. The findings show a complex interplay between language structure, cognitive processes, and cultural influence in developing the nominative field of colour, which contributes to a better understanding of lexical semantics and conceptual representation.
