In the Western Zhou bronze inscriptions,non-locative words undergo localization at the position of"NP non-locative"within the structure of"VP+(locative preposition+)NP non-locative".They are mainly composed of nouns and a few verbs,with a higher frequency of usage with personal nouns compared to object nouns and abstract attribute nouns.The semantic condition for the occurrence of the localization is that the VP or preposition requires a locative argument to fully express its meaning,and the mechanism behind this phenomenon is metonymy.
