O stvaranju naziva za boje u hrvatskom i rumunjskom jeziku te govoru Karaševa
On the formation of colour terms in the Croatian and Romanian languages and the Carasova Idiom

Summary/Abstract: Colour terms present an appealing topic for linguistic and interdisciplinary research while the principles of colour categorisation remain a challenge to many experts. Though it may appear to be a universal category in terms of primary colours, the other parts of the spectrum display languagespecific features. The previous research of colour terms in Croatian and Romanian language (Olujić and Bošnjak Botica, 2012) presents the differences in colour perception as well as word formation of colour terms from the point of view of translation. This work further explores the formation of colour terms in each language as well as in the Carasova idiom with regard to the speakers´ Slavic mother tongue and the Romanian state language. Major lexicalization patterns are presented.
