Abstract:

This study examines the role of color symbolism in paremiological texts (proverbs, idioms, and sayings) through a cognitive-linguistic framework. Colors in language are not only descriptive but also carry deep metaphorical and cultural meanings. By analyzing a diverse corpus of proverbs across multiple languages, this research explores how colors function as cognitive tools that shape perception, emotions, and social attitudes. The findings contribute to cognitive linguistics, paremiology, and cross-cultural studies, highlighting both universal and culture-specific aspects of color symbolism in proverbs.
