The work would not have been possible without the help of my roommates and friends, who gave me a lot of encouragement when I was at a loss. We discussed a lot

Without all the support, I could not have completed this tough work.AbstractColour terms are abundant in both English and Chinese，such as red, yellow, and blue.
5、In this thesis, I have attempted to make a comparison between the sense of red in English and that in Chinese by studying the examples collected from all the materials available. The thesis is divided into three parts. In Chapter One, I relate colour terms with cognition and culture in English and C

In Chapter Two, I list a lot of examples related to red in English and Chinese and analyse them from three aspects in terms of their sense: exact equivalence, partial equivalence, no equivalence. In Chapter Three, I find out the factors that cause these semantic similarities and differences
7、of red from the perspective of cognition and culture. Through a comparative study of the sense of red in English and Chinese, I shed light on the three kinds of equivalent relationship of red terms in English and Chinese. The three kinds of equivalent relationship indicate that there exist similarit

If people know them well, they can achieve better cross-culture communication. Key words: the sense of red; semantic equivalence; similarity; difference

IntroductionAccording to Geoffrey Leech (1981: 9), “There are seven types of meanings: conceptual meaning, connotative meaning,

And he combined connotative meaning, social meaning, affective meaning, reflected meaning, collocative meaning into “associative meaning. So besides the literal meaning, colour words have affluent assoc

The comparative study of the sense of red in both English and Chinese will be a bridge for both English and Chinese learners to understand the similarities and disparities;otherwise, these disparities can cause ambiguity and lead to misunderstanding. “Obviously, connotations are apt to vary from age to age and from
