Abstract
This paper takes the polysemous Chinese word "bao" as its subject, and uses the framework semantic analysis method to describe the 13 meanings of "bao" in terms of its semantic frames. Based on the theory of image schema, it explains the basis and reasons for the polysemy of the packaging verb "bao," explores the mechanism of the formation of its polysemous word system, and investigates the ways in which "bao" generates its polysemy, including path schema, container schema, behavior metonymy, and metaphor. It also offers teaching suggestions for the polysemous word "bao" in international Chinese teaching.
