Abstract

In Chinese semantic roles, direction, usually associated with the source and purpose of the action, has its unique semantic features and is a process of continuous changes reflected in the action acted on things from source to the end. Therefore, the semantic category of direction includes two aspects: action and location. Essentially, the meaning of direction refers to the development process of action behavior in space. Reference is indispensable in the directional category, and a complete directional category contains at least two parts of the development process, namely, beginning, continuation and termination, which are mutually referenced. "Cong" and "zi" can be used to mark the origin, "jing" to mark the passage, and "xiang" and "chao" to mark the destination in Chinese.
