ABSTRACT:
This article explores the collocations of color-designating adjectives in their nominative and figurative meanings, examining their morphological structure and the nuanced relationship between color and language. The study investigates how color-designating words are morphologically classified and how their forms contribute to the expression of color-related concepts. The analysis encompasses simple color words, derived color words formed through affixation, compound color words, and phrasal color terms. Additionally, the article delves into the figurative use of color adjectives and their metaphorical associations, highlighting how colors go beyond their literal meanings to evoke emotions and convey abstract concepts. By examining the morphological structures of color-designating adjectives and their usage in nominative and figurative contexts, the study enhances our understanding of the intricate interplay between color, language, and meaning.
