摘要
表约数义的方位复合词的成因机制来源于空间概念。"上下/左右/前后"在空间上呈现出离心—向心状态。由于参照物的"磁力"作用,呈离散状态的空间方位同时又具有了"向心力"。离心和向心的相互作用使得它们游离在参照物周围,其结果是,始终不能到达参照物,但也不能远离参照物,这就是约数义来源的直接原因,而它们在分布上的不均衡与其对称程度相关。
Compound words indicating directions in Chinese are commonly used to show an uncertain amount. The cause of these compound words results from human beings＂ spatial experience with the world. ＂shang/xia, qian/hou, zuo/you＂ individually show the tendency of the boundless extension, while put together to form compound words, this boundless extension is brought back towards the reference point because the reference is functioning like a magnet. The uncertain amount implied by these words is in fact the result of the struggle between the centripetal force and the centrifugal force, while the distributional imbalance owes much to the differences of degree in symmetry.
