摘要/Abstract

认知语言学认为原型范畴理论及隐喻理论能为多义词的语义系统提供有力解释。本稿以原型范畴理论及隐喻理论为指导，考察日语“内”的语义及各语义之间的关系，以建立日语“内”的语义网络模型。经过考察，笔者认为日语“内”的语义包含原型义的空间义，扩展义的抽象义、时间义、状态义、过程义、范围义和指代义，各语义之间通过隐喻建立关系，这种隐喻关系反映了人类的认知规律。

It is considered that the prototype theory and the metaphor theory can explain the semantics system of a polysemy successfully in the flied of cognitive linguistics. Based on those theories, this paper will describe and analyze every meaning of the Japanese kanji “内” and give a cognitive explanation to the relationship between the meanings to build the network model about the Japanese kanji “内”’s semantics system. In that semantics system, the prototype meaning is “inside”, the extension meanings are abstract concepts, time concept, condition concept, process concept, scope concept and pronoun. The two meanings are related by metaphor.
