PRIMARY CATEGORIZATION IN THE COLOUR TERMS "ЧЁРНЫЙ ~ BLACK" ON THE COMPARATIVE BASIS
The article focuses on the lingvocognitive basis in the semantics of the colour terms "чёрный ↔ black" with respect to the perceptual semantic component and primary categorization in its prototype meaning and evaluation in the Russian and English languages. The cognitive perceptual model is derived from the predicate "видеть ↔ see "; eye perception experiences verbalized in the basic colour terms are also shown in non-prototype semantic structures followed by absolute and partial pejorative evaluation.
