Linguistic and Cultural Aspects of Colour Terms Hong and Analysis of Hong-lou-meng (Sueño de las mansiones rojas)

Summary/Abstract: This paper will first make a small presentation of the colour hong in Chinese history in order to demonstrate the importance that the colour red has for both the culture and the lenguage of this country. After that, it will make a comparison of the linguistic and cultural aspects between the red colour terms hong in Chinese and those of rojo in Spanish, to corroborate that the system of colour terms hong in Chinese, just like the rojo one in Spanish, is constructed by basic and non-basic terms, and from that, the paper will take as corpus the data of the red terms appeared in Hong-lou-meng and their translations into Spanish in Sueño de las mansiones rojas, with the aim to confirm the existence of the many and varied associative connotations of hong, different from the rojo in Spanish and produced by tradicional, collective and cultural reasons.
