Сolor Names Created from Minerals and Precious Stones through Concrete in Russian

Abstract

Naming created by combining the main and intermediate color names, while introducing the specific features of each language, it also shows the productivity of that language and its influence from other languages. It is seen that such denominations produced in the source language are also found in other languages. This work, Color names in V.K. Harchenko's Great Dictionary of Color Names in Russian (Bolshoi Slovar Tsvetooboznaçeniy v Russkom Yazıke) published in 2014 were scanned and prepared. It has been determined that there are 6000 color names in the dictionary. In the study, the color names formed by the concretization of the elements included in the basic vocabulary such as various chemicals, metals and precious stones were compiled and their Turkish equivalents were given. In accordance with the grammar of Russian, new colors were obtained by means of prefixes and some other construction suffixes based on these color names. In addition, the main color tone can be formed from a single word or by combining two or three phrases. In this way, the new color names that emerged with the help of the degree of colors are given in alphabetical order. It has been observed that simile and inspiration play a role in naming colors based on concretization.
