DESCRIPTION:Metaphor Talk by Dr. Camilla Di Biase-Dyson (Macquarie Univers
 ity\, Sydney)\n\nThis paper will discuss colour metaphors used to describe
  emotional states in the Ancient Egyptian language and try to account for 
 the predominance of the colour red. It is proposed that red’s prevalence
  as a figurative expression of emotion could be tied to embodied sensation
 s of emotion\, not just in Ancient Egyptian but in other languages from th
 e Ancient Near East and Ancient Mediterranean. It is also proposed that th
 e status of dšr 'red' as a relatively basic colour term could also play a
  role in its popularity as a metaphor. In short\, it can be shown that Anc
 ient Egyptian helps us synthesise tendencies in the expression of emotion 
 that are present in many world languages.
