| Abstract: | The field of colour terminology is a complex one and translators may find difficulties in their work since semantic systems of different languages may differ considerably from each other. This paper proposes a system for Maltese colour terminology based on an amalgamation of the theoretical consideration of Berlin and Kay and the three-dimensional method for colour naming designed by the Inter-Society Color CounciI and the National Bureau of Standards (ISCC-NBS). It also examines some cultural aspects of colours in a Maltese context. The end result is a systematic order that exhibits certain marked differences that can aid translation equivalence. |
