Cognitive Linguistics Study Of Basic Color Names Of The Mongolian Language

We studied the basic color of Mongolian words from the point of view of cognitive linguistics.First chapter: Apart from studying the category of color names in the Mongolian language,we also examined the differences in color names.According to the survey,there are 11 primary color names in Mongolia,and the colors “black,white,gray,yellow,red,dark blue,blue,green,dark brown,brown,and pink” are the primary colors.In Mongolia,people use a mixture of two colors,dark blue((?))and light blue((?)),and the position of the name blue is more important than the color blue itself.We believe that the reason for this is that in poetry,the word blue is often used to describe anything that is blue in the sense of radiant,which has influenced people’s thinking of naming colors.In Mongolia,a mixture of red and white is called ”(?)”(pink),and a mixture of red and blue is also called “(?)”(pink)However,other Mongolian languages call the mixture of red and blue a special category.All Mongolian speakers usually have 11 basic color categories,and in some places 12 color categories.Not everyone is talking about 12 color categories,but a few people are talking about 12 color categories.For example,in Xinjiang,“(?)”(black,white,red,green,dark blue,blue,gray,dark brown,brown,ruddy,rosewood color)are used and “(?)”(black,white,ash,red,yellow,green,dark blue,blue,dark brown,brown,lungs,susan)are used in other place as well.This does not only prove that most of the world’s languages have 11 primary color schemes,but also suggests that 12 color dialects,such as Russian,could be formed in the future.Second chapter: The basic meanings and translations of the words that indicate the basic colors of the Mongolian language were studied using the methods of cognitive linguistics,such as “complex concept method”,“original character theory”,“method of studying cognitive model”,and “container metaphor method”.Although it is difficult for the human eye to recognize different colors in the same color,it is difficult to name them,so it is common to compare them to the colors of similar colors that we have seen before.This creates compound words such as "soot black,velvet black,swan white,sheep white,sheep brown,fire red,coral yellow,ash gray," which are not changed,are common things in people’s lives.In this way,we metaphorically name the colors that need to be included in the same color category and satisfy our needs to name colors.And if some colors are difficult to name,they tend to be borrowed,depending on how they are named in a foreign language.The color name has a primary meaning as well as a transferred value.In Mongolian,black and white(?(?))have the most hierarchical proportions,while red,yellow,light brown((?)),and blue((?))have moderate meanings,and dark brown,gray,and pink((?))have low hierarchical meanings.It is observed that the origin of the primary color is closely related to the sequence of formation.Third chapter: We have studied the patterns of proximity and opposition of nouns in the Mongolian language,and the reasons for their occurrence;depending on how similar and different the colors are,it is possible to have a name close to the name and a name near the distance,as well as a name for a color that is different in its characteristics.Different colors can have opposite meanings within a context,depending on how different they are.We believe that the similarity and contrast of words with different colors is not stable,which is a sign that the meaning of the word is unstable,evolving,and relative.For example,brown is not spoken in Mongolia and brown is spoken in Kalmykia.In Mongolia,dark brown((?))and light brown((?))are used interchangeably due to their similarity,while in Kalmykia they are similar in color to dark but different from dark brown((?)),so they have a distant meaning.Thus,it can be seen that the relationship between color-coded words and their meanings is relative.
