Abstract: “Gao di” is a common antonymic compound word in modern Chinese, with both noun and adverbial forms. From a co-ordinate structure to a noun and then to an adverb, the grammaticalization of “gao di” has a consistent evolutionary trajectory. The formation of the adverb “gao di” has a cognitive basis of metaphor and metonymy, and is closely related to the semantic generalization and defuzzification and the influence of context.
