ABSTRACT

Longpan Naxi gustatory words can be divided into single-taste gustatory words, mixed-taste gustatory words and degree gustatory words. The analysis of the semantic elements concludes that the structure of the semantic field of Longbian Naxi gustatory words is divided into three levels, gustatory as the first level, monoflavor gustatory as the second level, while the third level is mixed gustatory words and degree gustatory words. The analysis of the depiction of the semantic field concludes that the fixed semantic field of Longbang Naxi gustatory words is distinctive. "ndʐɚ³³nv¹¹ʂɯ³³" single-flavor gustatory word has the meaning of "fishy" and "stinky". "Fishy" and "stinky", "mbə⁵⁵" "çi⁵⁵k ʰɯ³³lv⁵⁵", "çi⁵⁵zɯ¹¹", and "çi⁵⁵zɯ¹¹" are used to express the sense of "astringent", while most other flavor words have only one sense. However, taste words do not only have the sense of taste, they also have multiple sense positions. However, the figurative in Naci language is unbalanced. "cʰi¹¹ (sweet)", "cʰi¹¹ (sour)", "pi¹¹ (spicy)" have figurative sememe.
