两种不同的容器隐喻——“NP_抽+里”和“NP_抽+内”的认知语义差异

Two Different Container Metaphors——The Cognitive Semantics Analysis of "NP_(abstract)+ li(里)" and "NP_(abstract)+ nei(内)"

"里"和"内"对抽象名词的选择表现出不平行性,这与它们的容器性质和容物性质不同有关。"NP_抽+里"是可开放容器,既可用于有界事物,也可用于无界事物;其容物在认知上通常被看做是离散性的、单个的有界个体。"NP_抽+内"是唯封闭容器,一般用于有界事物;其容物在认知上常被看做是弥散在容器内部的、分不出单个个体的容物。

The choice of the abstract nouns in ＂li （里）＂ and ＂nei （内）＂is not parallel, which is related to the properties of their containers and contents. Although both structures are container metaphor structures, they have different semantic meanings.＂NPabstact ＋ li （里）＂ is a metaphor structure of an open container of discrete content; ＂NPabstract ＋ nei （内）＂ is of a close container of dispersed content.
