AB - This study compares the Korean and Chinese languages of color concerning physical beauty as found in newspapers and fashion magazines. First, we find that there is a great similarity between the two languages in terms of colors describing bodily parts such as white skin and red lips. Second, we find that the Chinese language, more strongly than the Korean language, has the vestige of symbolism pertaining to the color vocabulary used in legends, fables and Beijing operas. There also exists a significant difference between the two languages in the range of gradation concerning skin color. Third, we find that the two languages show morphologic and syntactic differences. In Korean, differences in color are created by derivation and composition and by changes in fortis. Positive or negative connotations are revealed by change in vowels. In Chinese, however, these connotations are displayed by adding modifiers before or after the color word.
