Abstract
The article discusses semantic change and lexical replacement
processes in the color domain, based on color naming studies in seven Germanic
languages (where diachronic intra-linguistic development is inferred from
cross-linguistic synchronic studies) and from different generations of speakers
in a single language (Swedish). Change in the color domain often begins and ends
in conceptual peripheries, and I argue that this perspective is suitable for
other semantic domains as well.
