Why is it important?
This book is the first large-scale study of associations between emotions and colours across different cultures, drawing on both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The findings are of importance for our understanding of the relationship between emotions, colours, language and culture.
Perspectives
This book is a highly original study of the roles played by metaphor and metonymy in the establishment of emotionecolour associations, which enriches conceptual metaphor theory.
