Sažetak
In this study our primary interest is to explore the cultural-cognitive elements of metaphors dealing with colours. Proverbs, phrases and metaphors are perceived as an adjustement of cognitive and linguistic patterns to the needs of communication.
Recent research in psycholinguistics shows that the meaning of many idioms are motivated by people's conceptual knowledge, which includes metaphorical schemes of thought. Like idiomatic phrases , proverbs give significant insights into the poetics of mind.
Metaphoric language has its preferences regarding colours. Mainly basic, focal colour terms are used in metaphors; some colours are used more frequently than others. Black, white and red are the most frequent having the largest map of experience.
