{"product_id":"the-world-color-survey-paul-kay-9781575864167","title":"The World Color Survey: Volume 159","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1969 publication of Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's \u003ci\u003eBasic Color Terms\u003c\/i\u003e proved explosive and controversial. Contrary to the then-popular doctrine of random language variation, Berlin and Kay's multilingual study of color nomenclature indicated a cross-cultural and almost universal pattern in the selection of colors that received abstract names in each language. The ensuing debate helped reform the views of anthropologists, linguists, and psychologists alike. After four decades in print, \u003ci\u003eBasic Color Terms\u003c\/i\u003e now has a sequel: in this book, the authors authoritatively extend the original survey, studying 110 additional unwritten languages in detail and in situ. The results are presented with charts showing the overall palette of color terms within each language as well as the levels of agreement among speakers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Kay,Brent Berlin,Luisa Maffi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1575864169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781575864167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Center for the Study of Language and Informat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Paul Kay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623270756607,"sku":"9781575864167","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-color-survey-paul-kay-9781575864167","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
