abstract:
This essay takes into account all the forms of altered adjectives which name a colour to
express both vagueness and subjective evaluation in Italian and Russian. After considering
the theoretical issue of the denomination of colour terms and of historical grammar
studies of non-relational adjectives in Russia, the analysis is centred on the comparison
of alterative suffixes and of the correspondent differences of meaning. Thanks to the data
supplied by the parallel Russian-Italian corpus, concrete examples of the functioning
of altered colour terms will be observed.
