Abstract

Language comprehension and production involve complex cognitive processes that go beyond mere decoding of words. Phraseological units, comprising idiomatic expressions, proverbs, and collocations, present a unique challenge and opportunity for cognitive linguistics. When these units involve color, they tap into deep-seated cognitive mechanisms related to perception, emotion, and cultural associations. This chapter aims to explore the cognitive processes involved in both comprehending and producing phraseological units expressing color, shedding light on how language users navigate the rich semantic landscape of color expressions.
