Color vocabulary as a fragment of the linguistic world image (based on the material of German and Adyghe languages)
An attempt is undertaken to study the significance of color in German and Adyghe languages. Since the real world is reflected in color in the human mind, the study of this problem in structurally various languages is relevant and allows us, on the one hand, to find general, universal patterns of building these language units, and, on the other hand, to state the wealth of possibilities for reflecting the same realities in other languages. The authors define color image as a value fragment of the linguistic world image. The research shows that all names of color are formed according to the principle of distribution of hue colors around the main ones, depending on the meaning and stylistic possibilities. The comparative analysis of the material of the languages in question demonstrates not only the wealth of lexemes - color naming, but also the wide grammatical and stylistic possibilities of their functioning. These languages reflect the features of the representation of color perception in the German and Adyghe national world images.
