Annotation

The article is first to regard the problem of colour term studies from the transdisciplinary approach. The complexity of colour nature as an object of investigation demands the necessity of including various sciences’ research methods and their findings into its analysis. Within the taken research the deep interconnection of some scientific knowledge paradigms have been shown, namely, physics, anthropology, culture studies, history, psychology, literature, and linguistics. This versatile way of colour presentation is the only reasonable method which may offer a true cognitive basis of colour term meanings as language units. Some particular meanings of the colour term red are taken as the evidence for inseparable cognitive relations between the conceptual meaning of red as colour in different nonlinguistic knowledge structures and semantics of red as a language unit with its meanings registered in different lexicographic resources.
