Abstract
The workshop was based on the cognitive linguistics principles, in particular on the linguistic picture of the world theory. Together the manner in which various sign languages reflect the "world of colours" was addressed, with the focus on perception and designation of colours, on signs associated with colours, on finding prototypes of certain colours etc.
The manner in which the Czech Sign Language approaches the conceptualization of colours was demonstrated and, in mutual cooperation, comparing conceptualization of colours in other sign languages was attempted.
