This question has been a subject  of debate since Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's \u003cem\u003eBasic Color Terms:  Their Universality and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEvolution\u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1969.  \u003cem\u003eNaming the Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e is the first extended study of this debate.  The author describes and criticizes empirically and conceptually  unified models of colour naming that relate basic colour terms  directly to perceptual and ultimately to physiological facts, arguing  that this strategy has overlooked the cognitive dimension of colour  naming. He proposes a psychosemantics for basic colour terms which is  sensitive to cultural difference and to the nature and structure of  non-linguistic experience. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Contemporary colour naming research is radically  interdisciplinary and \u003cem\u003eNaming the Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to  philosophers, psychologists, anthropologists, and cognitive scientists  concerned with: biological constraints on cognition and  categorization; problems inherent in cross-cultural and in  interdisciplinary science; the nature and extent of cultural  relativism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998-10-31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780792352396\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45416681635980,"sku":"9780792352396","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792352396_bc134428-7f65-40d1-92fa-38d307a6aafb.jpg?v=1768917755","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792352396","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
