{"product_id":"9781575864167","title":"The World Color Survey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1969 publication of Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's \u003ci\u003eBasic Color Terms\u003c\/i\u003e proved explosive and controversial. Contrary to the then-popular doctrine of random language variation, Berlin and Kay's multilingual study of color nomenclature indicated a cross-cultural and almost universal pattern in the selection of colors that received abstract names in each language. The ensuing debate helped reform the views of anthropologists, linguists, and psychologists alike. After four decades in print, \u003ci\u003eBasic Color Terms\u003c\/i\u003e now has a sequel: in this book, the authors authoritatively extend the original survey, studying 110 additional unwritten languages in detail and in situ. The results are presented with charts showing the overall palette of color terms within each language as well as the levels of agreement among speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050034118896,"sku":"9781575864167","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575864167_p0.jpg?v=1763798077","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575864167","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
