Conclusion.12Bibliography.13A Study on Color Words in Chinese and EnglishCulturesAbstract: There are many different kinds of colors in our life, which connect closely with people. In human languages, color words are u
7、sed frequently, and they are endowed with different emotion and cultural connotation. Like what Juri Lotman said:”Every language is rooted in some specific culture, and every culture is centered in the structure of a natural language.” So, when we talk about color words, we should not only talk abou
8、t their own basic meanings, but also pay attention to their deep cultural symbolic meanings. Its because different languages have their different characters of symbolic meanings. In addition, because of the transition and extension of their meanings, some of the color words have become taboos. Thus,
9、 people in different cultures will have different feelings and expressions. In this thesis, the author will compare and analyze the different understandings of symbolic meanings of color words in both Chinese and English cultures.Key words: color words; cultural connotation; Chinese; English 中西文化颜色词
10、汇的研究摘要:我们生活中有很多与我们息息相关不同的颜色词汇。在人类语言中,颜色词汇被广泛使用,并且被赋予了不同的情感和文化意义。正如朱瑞.罗特曼所说:“没有一种语言不是植根于某种具体的文化中的,也没有一种文化不是以某种自然语言的结构为中心的。”因此,我们在研究颜色词汇时,不应该只注重其本质含义,而且也要注重其深广的象征意义。因为它们的象征意义在不同的语言环境下有不同的特点。此外,由于其含义的延伸以及转移,有的颜色词汇已经变成禁忌语。这样一来,不同文化的人们对颜色词的理解和表达就会大相径庭。本论文中作者将针对中英方文化中人们对颜色词的不同象征意义产生不同的理解进行对比和分析。关键字:颜色词汇;
11、文化内涵;中国; 英语1.Introduction Color words can be used to describe different things in any language. According to the statistics, there are more than seven million colors can be recognized in nature. However, color names are very limited language, only some of them can be expressed in single-morpheme wor
12、d. The number of color words is expressed by adding modifier. The symbolic meanings of color words have different features in different cultures because of the different history, background, psychology, and geography. From the scientific definition of color: Color is a visual phenomenon by reflectin
13、g a subject or through a certain light wave. This definition is easy to be accepted by westerners, because of its short feudalism and fast growing education and science. Westerners attach more importance to science, rationalism, and education, also they treat objective world with realistic attitude.
14、 So, from the perspectives of westerners, meanings of color words are more direct, usually, they define some abstract cultural meaning with the specific color words of objective things, so , it is easy to retrospect the semantic and logical theoretical basis. However, the definition of color words i
15、s blurry in Chinese feudal society. 2.Values and Meanings of Studying Color Words in Chinese and English CulturesIn human languages, color words reveal their own charms, which are well welcomed by some linguists. Because of the different location, natural phenomenon, historical background, valueChin
16、ese color words are also different from the western color words. From the scientific definition of color: Color is a visual phenomenon by reflecting a subject or through a certain light wave. This definition is easy to accept by westerners, because of its short feudalism and fast growing education a
17、nd science. Westerners attach more importance on science, rationalism, and education, also they treat objective world with realistic attitude. So, from the perspectives of westerners, meanings of color words are more direct, usually, they define some abstract cultural meaning with the specific color
18、 words of objective things, so , it is easy to retrospect the semantic and logical theoretical basis. From the authors points of views, the time when people communicate with foreigners, people need to understand some basic knowledge of cross-cultural communication, and color words , the author think

The connotation of white3.1 Chinese connotation of whiteIn traditional Chinese culture, white is contrary to red, which is a
20、basic taboo word. White symbolizes peoples discard and hate both materially and spiritually. White means drain, lifeless, death, and misfortune to people. For example, since the ancient times, when peoples relative died, the family have to wear the white mourning dress, then they set the white mourn
21、ing hall for the dead, and when they hold a funeral procession, the family also have to hold white banners. People in the ancient times also regard white tiger as demon, so people call the woman who brings bad luck to man as “White Tiger Star”(白虎星). However, the connotation of white is influenced by

For example, white road symbolizes failure, and foolish: and in a war, the loser will hold a “white flag”(举白旗), which means “defeated and surrender.” The white in China also has the commendatory meaning.
