Fw: [pbs] Color terms
Susan Hayek (Sat, 18 Sep 2004 21:15:02 PDT)
Color and language, both, fascinate me.
**Same here.
Language: It appears from encounters I've had, and texts that I've read,
that blue and red are virtually one in Chinese. We divide the spectrum in
different ways.
**And I believe, when I was teaching spec ed, somewhere I had a
workshop on cultural differences/languages and learned that in some
native American cultures there was only one word which meant warm
colors and one word for cool. "Warm" and "cool", of course, may mean
different things in different language/cultures. :-)
