This study explores the parallel and serial relations among linguistic categories and their cognitive interface patterns. By analyzing the proximity between categories as well as serial and parallel propositions, the research reveals the interface mechanisms between different cognitive domains. It finds that categories within the same cognitive domain form complex networks through cross-connections, while metaphorical and metonymic interfaces extend the semantic boundaries of categories. The innovation of this study lies in proposing the concept of the “interface domain,” deepening the understanding of the mechanisms behind linguistic categorization and revealing category relations across multiple languages. Furthermore, the study identifies two primary types of interface relations: metaphorical and metonymic, highlighting their distinct roles in category formation and cross-domain mappings. Through an analysis of the Chinese character “大”(big), the research illustrates how categories interface across dimesions such as space, intensity, status, and degree. It also compares these patterns with English equivalents, revealing significant cultural and cognitive differences in categorization paths.
