“上／下”的对称与不对称及其解释

The Analysis of the Symmetry and Asymmetry of Shang/Xia

“上／下”的不对称不仅在语言形式上有所体现,在意义上也有所体现。“上／下”又是对称的,主要体现在表示方位、人物、范围等方面。总之,“上”出现的句法环境要多于“下”,所以“上”是一个高频词,而“下”是一个低频词。

The symmetry and asymmetry of shang/xia embodies in the meaning and form. At the same time, the shang/xia is symmetry in location and people and the category. So the situation of shang is more than xia. Shang is a word of high frequency.
