Laws, Glynis; And Others
Language Sciences, v17 n1 p49-64 Jan 1995
Reports on a study of the color terms used in Setswana. The study compared terms used by children with those of adults and those used by people from rural areas with those used by people from urban areas. Results show a move away from traditional Setswana color terms toward the use of borrowed English terms, particularly among the young and educated. (16 references) (Author/CK)
