Abstract

The text is an attempt at a linguocultural analysis of the colour grey in two related languages. Our goal is, by tracing the processes of categorization and conceptualization in the human consciousness, to outline the profile of grey as part of the linguistic colour space. Since this space is segmented in a way that is different for each individual language and conditioned socioculturally, the focus of our research is on the ethnic specificity.

Key words: name of colour grey, linguoculturology, ethnolinguistics, Bulgarian, Czech
