Sequel to Paul Kay's Book Is Being Published

February 1, 2010
A sequel to Brent Berlin and Paul Kay's then-controversial 1969 book Basic Color Terms is being published by CSLI Publications and is expected to be available in mid-February 2010. The new book, World Color Survey, is authored by Paul Kay, Brent Berlin, Luisa Maffi, William R. Merrifield, and Richard S. Cook. Kay and Cook are members of the AI Group at ICSI. Basic Color Terms, together with subsequent research published in numerous journals and conference proceedings over the last 40 years, has shaped our understanding of the relation of color language to color perception and has influenced current thought on the broad question of linguistic relativity.
