색채범주와 연구의 최근 동향: 반구 비대칭적 범주효과와 언어상대성 = Research Trends of Color Categorization Study: Hemisphereric Asymmetry of Category Effect and Linguistic Relativity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Until recently, a number of research in color categorization has been tried to find out the relationship between language and thought, i.e., whether language influence color categorization. Nevertheless, there are two different theoretical positions which are confronting each other; one is linguistic relativity insisting that color categories are likely to vary as a function of cultural and linguistic differences and the other is linguistic universalism maintaining that color categorization is common at every language regardless of the number of basic color names and color categories being used. Recently, some cognitive neuropsychological research have also been tried to examine the relationship between the performance or eye movement in visual search task and hemispheric activation. In this paper, recent trends of color categorization study related to the issue were reviewed and particularly some recent findings which confirmed the relationship between color categorization and the hemispheric asymmetry of language processing by using visual search task and comparing the color category effects in right and left visual field were discussed from the linguistic relativist perspective.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

색채범주화에 관한 최근까지의 연구들은 언어와 사고의 문제, 즉 언어가 색채범주화에 영향을 미치는지를 확인하기 위한 다양한 시도들을 해왔다. 그러나 아직까지 언어가 색채범주화에 영향을 미치는지에 관해서는, 색채범주가 문화적, 언어적 차이에 따라 다를 수 있다고 보는 언어상대주의적 관점과 색채범주화가 기본색이름이나 색채범주의 수에 관계없이 모든 언어에서 공통적이라고 주장하는 보편주의적 관점이 여전히 대립하고 있다. 최근에는 시각적 탐색과제의 수행이나 안구운동과 대뇌 활성화간의 관련성을 살펴보는 인지신경심리학적 연구들도 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 쟁점에 관한 최근까지의 국내외 연구들을 개관하고, 특히 시각적 탐색과제를 사용하여 좌우측 시야에서 나타난 색채범주효과를 비교함으로써 색채범주화가 반구 비대칭적인 언어처리와 관련이 있음을 확인한 최근의 연구결과들을 언어상대주의적 관점에서 논의하였다.
