Abstract

Chinese writing, consistently ideographic and substantively pictographic, must participate in the formation and semantic “painting” of various “pictures of the world”. Generic-specific classes of lexicon can be subdivided into partitives and conglomeratives. An important difference between partitives and conglomeratives is that the generic component of partitives can be represented by a concrete meaning, while that of conglomeratives can be represented only by an abstract concept.
