Abstract
This paper analyses the polysemy of the structure of
V-kai based on windows of attention and finds that it has
three different meanings, including result, result and direction, condition, which
respectively include some different subordinate meanings. It is the result of
different patterns of path windowing. Specifically, result is the result of final
path windowing. Result and direction is the result of medial and final path
windowing. Condition is the result of initial and medial path windowing. Making
use of mechanism of analogy, metaphor and metonymy, they produce some different
subordinate meanings. Because of economy principle of language, it is necessary
for the language construction to change from expressing one meaning to expressing
more, leading to the increase of semantic capacity.
Keywords: V-kai structure, windows of attention, polysemy, mechanism, semantic capacity
