李白诗歌中以五种正色为原型的颜色词范畴分析

The analysis of the color words in Li＇s Bai poetries taking the five most important color words as prototype

李白诗歌中的颜色词除几种正色以外,其在《说文解字》中都不是专门表示颜色的。依据范畴中的原型理论,我们发现,以古代的五种正色——＂白、青、赤、黑、黄＂为原型,可以概括除＂彩＂以外的李白诗歌中所有颜色词。依据各种颜色词的释义及光波长短,可以大致得到下面的关于本文提到的颜色词的连续统,之所以会出现这种连续统,主要是由于颜色词是形容词,而形容词具有程度方面的差别。

The color words in Li＇s Bai poetries except the most important color words, the other ones are not specially for representing color in Shuo wenjie zi （《说文解字》）; According to the theory of prototype in category, we find that if we take the five most important color words ＂Qing, Bai, Chi, Hei, Huang＂ （ 青,白,赤,黑,黄 ） as prototype, we can generalize almost all of the color words in Bai Li＇s poetries except ＂Cai＂ （彩）. According to the interpretation of the color words and the length of the light wave, we can roughly get the continuum of the color words; The reason why the continuum can appear is mainly that the color words are adjective and the adjectives have the difference in degree.
