NSM functions as a simple language which is used for explaining complex concepts of extended meaning. It assists us to see the differences between basic meanings and extended ones while Frame Semantics supports the phenomenon of extended meaning in Mlabri body-part terms with regard to an overall picture via three aspects shape, function, and position/orientation. It proves that Mlabri speakers extend meaning of their body-part terms for calling items systematically and consistently.;viii, 106 leaves : ill, chartsapplication/pdfengผลงานนี้เป็นลิขสิทธิ์ของมหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล ขอสงวนไว้สำหรับเพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น ต้องอ้างอิงแหล่งที่มา ห้ามดัดแปลงเนื้อหา และห้ามนำไปใช้เพื่อการค้าFrames (Linguistics)LexicologySemanticsMeaningMlabri (Thai people)Master ThesisMahidol University
