摘要本文的主要目的是将有关基本颜色词系统演变的最新发现与当前语言变异和语言变化的研究联系起来。更具体地说，它是在词汇语义学领域提供一个假设，即所有的语言变化都有其根源，在言语社区的共时异质性（参见。Weinreich，Labov & Herzog（1968：188）对这一观点作了一般性的陈述，也有许多已经报道过的经验证明，如Labov（1972）和Wang（1969）在音系学中的证明，以及Bickerton（1973）在句法学中的证明。在开始这个话题之前，我总结了基本颜色项理论本身最近的一些修订。（民族志语义学，颜色术语，语言变异，语言变化中的进化共性。
Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to relate recent findings regarding the evolution of basic color term systems to current research in linguistic variation and language change. More specifically it is to provide in the area of lexical semantics a demonstration of the hypothesis that all linguistic change has its roots in synchronic heterogeneity of the speech community (cf. Weinreich, Labov & Herzog (1968: 188) for a general statement of this position, also many empirical demonstrations already reported, such as those by Labov (1972) and Wang (1969) in phonology and by Bickerton (1973) in syntax). Before taking up this topic, I summarize some recent revisions in the basic color term theory itself.
