%T Review of C. L. Hardin and Luissa Maffi, Editors, Color categories in thought and language. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997 & Robert MacLaury, Color and cognition in Mesoamerica: Constructing categories as vantages. Austin: University of Texas
%X In a message posted to one of the cognitive science discussion groups the author asked, to paraphrase roughly, what should be read to get an up-to-date account of research into color naming? My advice is (and was) to consider the two books under review here: C. L. Hardin and Luisa Maffi?s excellent collection of essays on color language research; Robert MacLaury?s magnum opus on color naming and cognition.
