This paper concentrates on German and Italian phraseological units containing at least one color word as an adjective modifying a noun, such as grüne Architektur and architettura verde.

Abstract
This paper concentrates on German and Italian phraseological units containing at least one color word as an adjective modifying a noun, such as grüne Architektur and architettura verde. Color words have been widely investigated in general language. However, they also contribute to the building of terms in languages for specific purposes. Semantically, it is the color word that conveys the main specialized meaning, which is transferred to the entire phraseological unit. This characteristic is common to German and Italian phraseological units. Differences are to be found in the morpho-syntactic behavior of the phraseological units (e.g. in inflection).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
