intimations of optimality: extensions of simulation testing of color-language hypotheses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2005
Abstract
by emphasizing that color categories are the collective achievement of a language community, the methodology of steels & belpaeme (s&b) suggests a number of corollaries. it focuses attention on whether a system of categories is optimized to match color experience. if a hypothesis can be operationalized about the nature of the optimality – about how color language becomes standardized – it becomes testable.
