New Insights Into the Evolution of Color Terms or an Effect of Saturation?
نویسنده
چکیده
Through their thorough investigation of the Hadza, a nonindustrialized language community in Tanzania, Lindsey and colleagues (2015) developed a new approach to understand the evolution of color terms. In the present commentary, I discuss the possibility that some of their results might be explained by the lacking control of saturation of their color stimuli. The saturation of colors plays an important yet widely neglected role in color naming. The additional analyses presented here suggest that the results on Hadzane color naming could be due to variations in saturation in the stimulus set rather than being evidence for universal constraints on color term evolution.

Seeing things differently, as discussed in this paper, is the link between Sufism and art. It is a quality shared by both Sufis and artists. This quality has two dimensions: the dimension of insight and the dimension of actions. With their insights, artists and Sufis see the world differently. They see things that others do not see. They also see things that everybody else sees in different way...
متن کاملAn enhanced reliability-oriented workforce planning model for process industry using combined fuzzy goal programming and differential evolution approach
This paper draws on the “human reliability” concept as a structure for gaining insight into the maintenance workforce assessment in a process industry. Human reliability hinges on developing the reliability of humans to a threshold that guides the maintenance workforce to execute accurate decisions within the limits of resources and time allocations. This concept offers a worthwhile point of de...

This research was carried out taking into consideration the defects of traditional process in and the most important factors affecting production of rock candy. Selected parameters used for effluent and rock candy consisted of supersaturation at 4 levels (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6) and temperature at 3 levels (70, 80, 900C) with 3 replications. The physiochemical tests consisted of pH, color and i...

متن کاملDetermination of a new model to study ultra-saturation phenomenon during the loaded power transformer energization and its effect on differential protection
One of transient phenomenon that causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. In this paper, a new model for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the pow...
