2023 Linguistic mechanisms of colour term evolution: A diachronic investigation of “Russian browns” buryj and koričnevyj Diachronica 40:4, pp. 492–531 | Article
We investigated diachrony of distributional semantics of two competing Russian colour terms (CTs) for ‘brown’, buryj (11th century) and koričnevyj (17th century), using the Russian subcorpus of Google Books Ngram (2020). Time-series analysis (1800–2019) of bigrams gauged each term’s frequencies… read more
2018 Chapter 5. Diatopic variation in the referential meaning of the “Italian blues” Progress in Colour Studies: Cognition, language and beyond, MacDonald, Lindsay W., Carole P. Biggam and Galina V. Paramei (eds.), pp. 83–106 | Chapter
Standard Italian blu is unanimously glossed as “dark blue”. In comparison, azzurro is referred to as either “light blue” or “medium blue” in different studies. We explored diatopic variation (linguistic variation on a geographical level) in the denotata of blu, azzurro and celeste “sky blue” in a… read more
2014 Gender differences in colour naming Colour Studies: A broad spectrum, Anderson, Wendy, Carole P. Biggam, Carole Hough and Christian Kay (eds.), pp. 225–239 | Article
Gender differences in colour naming were explored using a web-based experiment in English. Each participant named twenty colours selected from 600 Munsell samples, presented one at a time against a neutral background. Colour names and typing onset response times were registered. For the eleven… read more
2011 Colour terms: Evolution via expansion of taxonomic constraints New Directions in Colour Studies, Biggam, Carole P., Carole Hough, Christian Kay and David R. Simmons (eds.), pp. 121–132 | Article
Russian attributive constructions with colour terms are analyzed using the Russian National Corpus. We focus on recently emerging colour terms and their development through to the early twenty-first century. Terms are considered in a construction-based framework, as syntactic-semantic rule pairs,… read more
2007 Color naming research in its many forms and guises Anthropology of Color: Interdisciplinary multilevel modeling, MacLaury, Robert E., Galina V. Paramei and Don Dedrick (eds.), pp. xi–xv | Miscellaneous
2007 Russian 'blues': Controversies of basicness Anthropology of Color: Interdisciplinary multilevel modeling, MacLaury, Robert E., Galina V. Paramei and Don Dedrick (eds.), pp. 75–106 | Article
Sinij and goluboj, the two Russian confounders for ‘blue’, are considered. The question addressed is whether solely sinij or both have status of basic color terms. Results along various lines of experimental research are analyzed. Developmental studies in preschoolers show that with regards to… read more
