Conventionalized patterns of colour naming in Croatian

This paper is based on the research conducted as part of the international project " Evolution of Semantic Systems " (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen). The Croatian language was one of 50 Indo-European languages included in the research. All research within the project consisted of several different types of speaker elicitation testing. Colour terms were one of the four basic areas of research. The results of the colour naming task are presented in the paper. The data was comprised of 1680 responses in total. The results of the data analysis showed some regularities in colour naming in Croatian. In this paper conventionalized lexicalization patterns of colour naming in Croatian are defined and distinguished from novel expressions. The goal of the paper is to define strategies used in colour naming.
