<DIV>Hi Taras,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks. I don't mean the Chinese speakers don't care about the meaning of
the phrase but I mean that they don't care about what class "包装" should belong
to and what relations between "包装" and "精美". All of these don't affect the
understanding of the phrase at all. And I think as far as this phrase
concerned, the meaning is clear and needn't "use a broader context to
identify exact meaning". </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Fukun</FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Fukun,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's not that the Chinese speakers do not care about the meaning of</DIV>
<DIV>the phrase. They simply use a broader context to identify exact</DIV>
<DIV>meaning, which proves that PoS is highly contextual as your example</DIV>
<DIV>illustrates.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Taras</DIV>
