Fig. 4

Scatterplot of the most salient Italian colour terms (NHS = 32) of Tuscan speakers: x-axis, –log(pi), represents the term’s frequency, in descending order; y-axis, –log(mPi), represents the term’s mean position, in descending order. Points for the 13 BCTs and 8 most frequent non-BCTs are coloured in correspondence with the term; unfilled circles indicate the remaining frequent non-BCTs listed in Table 2.
