The Body of the Thesis ProposalChapter One Introduction1.1Background of the StudyLanguage is an important part of culture, and also a mirror of national culture. Situations such as a nations world ou

11、tlook, religious belief, social economy and the production and living and so on, will represent a living link in the history, especially in the history of vocabulary system. In turn, the characteristics of the national economic life would be definitely reflected in the language, especially vocabular

12、y system. Moreover, it has certain influence on language, especially vocabulary. The vocabulary of color words is expressive, which can express and convey feelings, and give a person with visual and mental stimulation.Color words originally reflect color of the objective material. But when it is use

13、d to reflect the social life, people from different background will produce various associative meanings to the same color due to different historical conditions, living environment, aesthetic psychology and customs. Therefore, colors have different symbolic significance, color word also has the uni

14、que cultural meaning. In kazakh, white symbolizes purity, red represents the sun and fire, black symbolizes the great, blue symbols heaven and life, green symbolizes spring and youth, brown symbolizes tender. Color words in the process of development have formed along with natural custom and religio

Everything has its own color properties, we often use all sorts of color words to vividly depict everything we observed, even use color to express our joys and sorrows. Languagenotonlyexpressesf

But, because of the difference of Kazak and weste

20、rn culture, the understanding of color will be different, a lot of deep meaning, color words imply different races feeling about color. If we dont have a thorough understanding of Kazak and western cultural differences, it is difficult for us to understand the meaning of each color in different coun

21、tries. In order to further understand color words in Kazak and western culture, it is very necessary to have a study of color words. Inthispaper,ImainlyexplaindifferentandsimilarphenomenaconcerningtheuseofcolorwordsthroughexamplesandcontrastiveanalysisofconnotativemeaningsofcolorwordsinKazakandweste

Therefore, through the study of the cultural differences between English and Kazak color words, English country and Kazak national understanding and application of different colors are listed and contrasted to further deepen the understanding of Kazak and foreign cultural differences, imp

23、roving our language ability and avoid conflicts with western culture. 1.3 Structure of the ThesisColor word is expressive language. Rich and colorful connotation of color words in Kazak and English both have similarities and differences. Along with the development of the era, associative meaning of

24、color words will have new connotation. This paper will use some common color words in English and Kazakh language to comparatively study. From the perspective of cross-cultural, similarities and differences of basic color words between English and Kazakh are analyzed. This paper will also from the a

25、ngle of translation methods, discusses the color words in both English and Kazakh in order to achieve cross-cultural communication in the purpose of better grasp and use of English and Kazakh color words. In this paper, the first part is introduction, mainly a brief introduction of the full text inc

26、luding background, purpose and structure of the study. The second chapter is literature review, including 4 parts, respectively definition of color terms, theoretical theory, domestic and foreign research results of color words. The relations between the culture and the basic color words. The third

27、chapter is the main text, detailed analyzing reasons for different connotative meaning of color words both in English and Kazakh. The fourth chapter analyzes cultural connotations of basic color terms in English and Kazakh (black, white, red, yellow, green, blue) and the method of how to deal with d

28、ifferent cultures. Finally, this article summarizes the full text to have a reference to the development of language and culture, and the transformation of the mode of thinking.Chapter Two Literature Review 2.1 Definitions of color wordsColor words in different languages as well have a lot of featur

29、es in common. Brent Berlin and Paul Kay, two world-famous scholars, pointed out there are eleven color categories in our world, which are known as “basic words”, containing white, black, red, yellow, blue, brown, purple, pink, orange and gray. Basic color words have three characteristics ideally: 1.

30、 It is non-lexemic; 2. Its signification is not including in that of any other color word; 3. Its application must not be restricted to a narrow class of objects. 2.2 The Theoretical Basis of the studyWhen we survey the whole history of color word study, especially from the eighteenth century, there

31、 is an obviously pendulum-like paradigm-shifting in theory (c.f. Kuhn 19701962)The shifting implicates that there are two contrasting philosophy theories about the development of the color system of a given language. Through thorough and hard researches in the color research field，Professor Yang Yon

32、glin put forward two theoretical questions，which form the framework of color word research：(1) Is the color-coding system of a language linguistically universal and semantically evolutionary? (2) Is it something linguistically relative and semantically culturedetermined? (杨永林20002b：4)Concerning thes

33、e two questions，two relative theories can be naturally used together to be the theoretical foundation to make a contrastive study of comparative cultural connotations of English and Chinese basic colorwords/characters, one is Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and the other is Berlin & Kays theory of basic colo

34、r words 2.3 Research Abroad of color wordsForeign study of color words started earlier. Color words are discussed in this paper by many scholars from different angles.Thestudyofcolorwordshasalonghistory.Manyscholarshavemaderesearchonthecolorwordsandgenerallyformedtheirowntheorieswhichhavebeenaccepte

35、dbythefield.Berlin and Kanes view had greater influence on the study of Chinese color words, laid a theoretical basis for study of Chinese color words.Color is a perception of the objective world. Either in nature or social life, there are a variety of colors. Reflected in the human language, there

36、are a lot of words recording color-color words.Russian painters, aesthetes Kandinsky pointed out: “Color directly affects the spirit” in his book named “the spirit of the art” in 1911. People live in the color, and is closely related with color.In 1969, an American national expert Berlin and a lingu

37、ist Cain, examined the color words in 98 languages in the world, published paper “Study of basic color words: universality and the theory of evolution”. The study showed that among color word systems in various languages, there are 11 basic colors: white, black, red, green, yellow, blue, brown, purp

38、le, pink, orange, and gray. This book has a big influence in the field of color words study. After that, a lot of scholars in the studied color words based on the basic theory.Subsequently, Kane added continuously in the further study and update the argument. In 1978, Kane co-worked with Mike, Danie

39、l to make an adjustment of the general order of the basic color words. They thought that the language of six major color, respectively red, yellow, green, blue, black and white, other colors are composite and derived on the basis of the six major color.After Berlin and Kay, Heider found that the Dra

40、enei in New Guinea only had two color words in the language in a series of studies in the early 1970s, but they had has no difference of memory and cognition compared with English speaker. Her research results of cognitive strongly support color is common, and a kind of inherent ability. Heider thin

41、ks there are no color perception and language difference between people with only two color words in the Dani language and that with 11 color words.
