color terms%cultural connotations
Color can make our life colorful not only by its physical attributions, but also by its extended meanings derived from cultural differences. There is striking richness in the cultural connotations of color terms, which can vivify our language. Since lan-guage is a reflection of culture, in order to have a good master of the English culture and overcome misunderstandings in commu-nication, a better understanding of indications and cultural connotations of some typical color terms is a prerequisite for English learners.However, because English-speaking countries have certain geographic environments, customs, ways of thinking, reli-gious beliefs, regimes, literature and arts and ways of living, there is no surprise that colors are described in some specific ways and have some particular meanings in that countries.The thesis will mainly deal with cultural connotations of some typical color terms and their usage in language.
