МEANINGS OF COLOR ACROSS THE CULTURE
Abstract
Nowadays scholars do not argue about the fact that language is a specific element representing a particular culture. As idioms are a significant part of a linguistic system they must reflect culture and be characterized as culture specific. As the evidence for that may be numerous articles about the idiom translation problems as the idiom may suit one culture perfectly, whereas it may lose its figurativeness in the other culture.
