摘　　要：The word formation prefix“ke(可)”has the meanings of“can(可以)”,“make(使令)”,“worth(值得)”,and“suitable(适合)”;this paper not only studies the words of“ke(可)X”,but analyzes the generation mechanism and conditions of“ke X”,and holds that metaphor and metonymy,distance iconicity,analogy and reanalysis are important mechanisms for the lexicalization of“ke X”;the interaction among phonetics,syntax,and semantics creates conditions for“ke X”to become a word.In addition,the subjective tendency of“ke X”is also discussed,the subjective meaning of“ke X”is the evolution from concrete actual action to abstract subjective mental action,and this reflects the human cognitive model from concrete to abstract.

关 键 词：ke(可) LEXICALIZATION CONDITION SUBJECTIVE generative mechanism
