| Abstract | The Maya language of Yucatan has only five basic color terms (?é&k' 'black', čak 'red, pink, orange, rust colored', k'áan 'yellow, orange', sak 'white', and yá?aš 'green'), but they appear in seventy-five compound stems that discriminate semantically among variables other than hue, including brightness, saturation, relative size and discreteness, opacity, and texture. A number of these stems are concerned with texture, as are many of the affect stems in this language, suggesting a semantic relationship between them. The same relationship between color compounds and affects is documented for Tzotzil, another Mayan language, for which there are almost one thousand color compounds. |

| AbstractList | The Maya language of Yucatan has only five basic color terms ((glottal stop)eek' 'black', cak 'red, pink, orange, rust colored', k'aan 'yellow, orange', sak 'white', & ya(glottal stop)as 'green'), but they appear in 75 compound stems that discriminate semantically among variables other than hue, including brightness, saturation, relative size & discreteness, opacity, & texture. A number of these stems are concerned with texture, as are many of the affect stems in this language, suggesting a semantic relationship between them. The same relationship between color compounds & affects is documented for Tzotzil, another Mayan language, for which there are almost 1,000 color compounds. 2 Appendixes, 22 References.
