Decomposing Color Expressions in Malayalam
نویسنده
چکیده
Mythili Menon and Roumyana Pancheva; University of Southern California We provide evidence for the ambiguity in color terms (e.g., green) between a gradable and nongradable reading, as proposed in [5]. The evidence comes from color terms in Malayalam. Expressions for color exhibit different morphosyntactic behavior in attributive and predicative positions, and in comparatives, as opposed to other adjective-like expressions. The Malayalam data also provide evidence for the existence of an unpronounced noun color, as in [4].
