CONCEPTUAL AND SEMANTIC PROPERTIES OF COLOUR NAMES KARA AND SİYAH IN TURKISH

Abstract

In this study; ‘siyah’ and ‘kara’, the two words used in Turkish for the colour name black, have been investigated, in order to determine their synonymy relationship, for their distinctive conceptual and semantic fields. The study endeavoured to illustrate the extent to which the semantic fields of these two colour names signifying the same colour would overlap. To do this, names, coined in conjunction with ‘siyah’ and ‘kara’, for animals, plants, medical issues, diseases, articles, natural events, food, chemical issues, games, onomastics, concrete nouns, metonomical uses, proverbs, expressions, and duplications have been compiled and tallied. It has been illustrated that these two colour names are not true synonyms and their semantic and conceptual properties overlap solely when signifying the colour concept
