| Summary: | This work demonstrates the experiment on the perception and generation of the text as a part of the literary text analysis. The author was faced with a task to estimate the ability of participation of color terms in formation of art sense of the text as a whole. The emphasis is placed on the identification of expansion of color terms in their semantics when they go beyond the designation of color itself and become multidimensional and multiple-valued, taking root in such difficult structures as a metaphor, a comparison, etc. The cases of discrepancy between the choice of color words by recipients (participants of the experiment) and an author’s conception of color definitions are analyzed. The exclusiveness of an author’s colors seeing is emphasized. |
