Basic level categories awareness of things, understanding the worlds the most direct and most basic level, the categorization of the most powerful tools. It allows cognitive agent to pay a minimum of cognitive effort and harvest the maximum amount of information. Prior to the field of basic level categories and rare, is a relatively new and feasible way to study vocabulary from the field of basic level categories. Based on the use of high frequency, wide range and on behalf of the human cognitive system is the most original concept of human words, we have chosen human words as the scope of the study. As to the parts of the body of the Su Xin chun "Modern Chinese mantic classification Library1491word corpus sources, thee stablishment of the same name for body parts, the criteria for selecting the standard of grass-roots word extraction.At home and abroad on the grass-roots word extract quasi-are horizontal list of standard room in a parallel relationship, the standard is too much and did not distinguish between primary and secondary. I believe that to extract the grass-roots word should be the establishment of a priority criteria, and then add a sub-standard according to the personality traits of the type of research under this standard. The basic level is the result of direct interaction and objective things, must rely on the most basic perception, Gestalt, it is this perception. Human words, both belong to a different relationship with the animal and plant class of words, animal and plant class of words belong to the species relationships, and most of the human word is the relationship between whole and part. The human body is a huge system, the internal layer sets layer of whole and part relationship. Awareness within the body system to significantly varying degrees, to the cognitive saliency. People the words alleged in the awareness level of the thing itself, called the significant degree. Cognition of a word has a significant level of degrees is also manifested in the use of the term, that is,meaning, metaphor ability, called the external significance level. Thus, this study will be grass-roots word extract of the human class standard is set to two, namely:First:Gestalt in the same level of vocabulary; second:the word significant, to quantify the sense of the word, metaphor capacity. By extracting the standard delete elect39of the grass-roots word:head, eyes, ears, brain, mouth, tongue, teeth, face, nose,eyebrows, beard, hair, lips, throat, forehead; hands, back, feet,fingers,legs, waist, boxing, neck, arms, buttocks, chest, shoulders, palms, wrists, abdomen, elbow; heart, intestines, stomach, lung, gallbladder, liver; blood, and bones.the implementation of the extraction process analysis, respectively, by word length, word formation, the metaphor of three aspects of a systematic analysis of the grass-roots word of the39individual body type. Word length from the point of view of the overall proportion of grass-roots word is still mainly monosyllabic words.Word formation, respectively, from human morpheme+human morpheme "," human morpheme+non-human morpheme,"human morpheme+flora and fauna word". Grass-roots word of the metaphor, the human class have a metaphor, human metaphor has the characteristics of the vocabulary, systematic imbalance.
