摘　　要： 颜色词的语义一直是语言学家的研究对象。原型理论将颜色词的语义范畴化,基本划分出原型语义和功能语义,但"家族相似性"的特点只是笼统地概括了颜色词原型语义和功能语义的关系。模因论却能够从历史发展的角度把原型语义和不同的功能语义联系起来,大量的例证说明这一发展过程表现在三种复制和传播方式上:以复制信息内容为主的基因型、形式相同但信息内容发生变化的表现型和结合了两种方式的复合型。模因论对更好地认知原型语义提供了有效理据。 The abundant cultural meanings of color terms have always made them a research object of linguistics. While Prototype Theory has categorized the meanings into prototype one and functional ones, their ＂family resemblance＂ can not exactly explain how those meanings are culturally connected from the perspective of history. With the help of＇Memetics Theory, it is believed that there exist at least three ways of meaning replication and transmission between the prototype meaning and the functional meanings. It is safe to say memetics is the theoretical motivation of the two kinds of meanings and promotes better recognition of the functional meanings and prototype theory.
