The article consists of 3 chapters.Each chapter generalizes and analyses with appropriate examples one aspect of human-body-words and in doing so concludes the rules and characteristics.Chapter 1"The survey of Vygur human-body-words".Thischapter takin common human-body-words as examples mainly delves into the rules of evolution and displacement of common human-body-words-system in terms of diachronic development,and discusses the source of disyllable human-body-words in terms of lexicalization.Chapter2"The semantica nalysis of Vygur human-body-words".This chapter emphasizes the general change of semantic of Vygur human-body-words.It studies the rules of change of semantic of human-body-words from the aspects of the meaning of human-body-morphemes and words,the original and extended meaning of a word,the static and dynamic meaning of a word and so on.We could find that the meaning of a compound human-body-word doesn't simply equal to one morpheme plus an other,for the meaning of a human-body-morpheme is its literal meaning,namely the meaning of the relative human organ which named by human-body-morpheme.But the compound word at its beginning used as phrase, then the speech-meaning developed in the process of using eventualy becomes the extended meaning of a word with the phrase becomes the compound word at the end, so most meanings of compound words do not equal to the sum of human-body-morphemes.The patterns of extending from original to extended meaning are mainly analogy(similarity between space and function in most cases) and interrelation and replacement.Chapter 3 This chapter delves into the meaning-change of human-body-words with deep perspective.First,it inspects the physiological,psychological and cultural basis of metaphorical extending of common Vygur human-body-organ-words and proves the principal that original field shines upon goal-field existed in the metaphorical theory.So it explains in depth from the aspect of metaphorical thinking the extending of the meaning of Vygur human-body-words.There are many words in Vygur which expresses objects and explains reasons in using human body organs. They appear in language in diferent forms such as words,idioms,and proverbs including the organs from"head"to"foot".These words results from people's percepiton,experience and understanding of surrouding objects based on thecharacteirstics of their own.according to metaphoircaltheory,They have in fact formed a ystem of the metaphorical concept.This metaphorical meaning of language is the very reflection of the metaphorical characterisitcs of people's thinking.The metaphodcalc ognition is universal,so the article discusses the difeernces and similarities in terms of word-formation and metaphor between the Chinese and Vygur human-body-words...
