Abstract

Color words are expressive language with profound culture meanings. This thesis provides a large number of examples to illustrate the cultural connotations of the basic color terms: black, white, red, yellow and green. It can help the readers know their cultural connotations clearly in English and Chinese, and appreciate the psychological differences so as to reduce the difficulties in intercultural communication.
