摘　　要：In different languages and cultures, color terms usually indicate their specific cultural concepts and metaphorical implicature. This paper makes a typological study on the universality and relativity of the Conceptual Metaphors （CM） of color terms in different languages. It attempts to explore the cognitive differences and similarities in the process of categorization and metaphorization of color terms of oriental and western peoples. It proposes that the CM system of color terms is determined by the interactivity of three factors as neurophysiologic mechanisms, general cognitive psychological mechanisms and socio-cultural selective mechanisms. The CM of color terms in different languages carry their specific cognitive characteristics and cultural values, and reflect self-similarity of the language and culture.在不同的语言文化中，色彩语码负载着独特的文化概念和隐喻色彩一本文从语言类型学的视角，通过封多种语言中色彩语码的概念隐喻的普遍，陆和相对性进行分析，探讨了东西方不同民族在色彩语码的概念化和隐喻化过程中的认知差异和共性，提出色彩语码的概念隐喻系统是由神经生理机制、普遍的心理认知机制和社会文化选择三个方面的因素相互作用形成的，其深层蕴涵着不同民族的认知心理特点和文化价值观念，反映着文化和语言的自相似性。
