Corpus-based analysis uncovers color term collocations with emotion terms, revealing cultural differences in associations.

Key Points

  • To investigate cross-linguistic differences in color-emotion associations between Spanish and Chinese using collocations.
  • Employed a corpus-based approach to analyze collocations of 13 color terms and 20 emotion terms in Spanish and Chinese.
  • Utilized CREA corpus for Spanish and CCL corpus for Chinese to extract collocations.
  • Conducted Generalized Linear Mixed Model analyses and Pearson correlation analyses to assess differences.
  • Identified significant distributional frequency differences in color-emotion collocations between Spanish and Chinese.
  • Only black and pink showed similar collocation patterns according to PCA analysis.
  • Findings suggest that cultural contexts and social norms influence color-emotion associations.
