Contrastive Remarks on the Colour Idioms in English and Romanian

Summary/Abstract: The present article is based on a contrastive analysis of colour idioms in English and Romanian, given the high degree of idiomaticalness in both languages. In order to meet the requirements of the study, we have based our arguments on a few objectives. The first one aims at a general description of colour idioms in English and Romanian, with a view to establishing both similarities and differences. The second explores the difficulties of translation, while the third objective emphasizes the wealth of semantic nuances that both languages comprise in order to highlight the expressiveness of colour idiomatic constructions.
