New lexicons enable corpus analysis of color terms in Russian and English literature

Researchers have developed two multidimensional chromatic lexicons, one for Russian with 224 entries and one for English with 141 entries, to aid in the corpus-assisted linguistic analysis of color terms in literary texts. These lexicons classify color terms by hue, saturation, and temperature. A pilot study comparing poetry by Andrei Bely and Emily Dickinson revealed significant differences in the frequency and type of color term usage, with Bely's corpus showing 3.4 times more confirmed chromatic terms than Dickinson's.
