Abstract

By comparing the meanings of “yìng”in common Chinese dictionaries and its English counterpart "bitter" in English dictionaries, we use the theories of meta-structure and object-structure to re-demarcate and describe the adjectival meaning of the word “yìng”and explain its phenomenon of adjectival polysemy and derivation, in an attempt to achieve completeness in the division of the meaning and to improve the accuracy in the depiction of the meaning, so as to provide some references for the lexicon and for the guidance of the teaching of Chinese language in the international context.
