In this research, I would like to take basic color adjectives in Japanese and clarify differences between foreign words and Japanese words that represent the same color. The following research question were set. When foreign color adjectives and Japanese color adjectives modify nouns, consider what features are seen in each noun. We consider that two color words tend to represent positive images or negative images when modifying an abstract. The method of study analyzes The Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese (BCCWJ) As a result, when color terms modify an abstract, they tend to produce negative images.
