15、 this category。功能词没有他们自己的概念。因此,他们也称作“空词”。由于他们的主要功能是去表达概念间的关系,词语间和句子间的关系，他们被认为是“结构词”。介词，连词，辅助词和冠词属于这一类14.区别：Content words，which constitute the main body of the English vocabulary，are numerous,andthe number is ever growing whereas functional words,which make up a very small number of thevocabulary，rem

34、素、语素变体1.The minimal meaningful units are known asmorphemes.morphemes.the morpheme is the smallest functioning unit in the composition of words。最小的意义单位叫做“词素”。词素是“词语组成中最小的功能单位。2。Morphemes are abstract units,which are realized in speech by discrete units known asmorphs.morphs.词素是抽象的单位,在话语中被认知通过分开的单位，这单

35、位叫做“语素”。They are actual spoken，minimal carriers of meaning.它们实际上是能发音的最小的意义载体.The morpheme is to the morph what a phoneme is to a phone.语素是一个音素发音的词素。3。Morphemes coincide with words as they can stand by themselves and function freely in asentence。they are called monomorphemicmonomorphemic words。语素与词相同

36、，由于它们能代表含义而且能够在句子中自由起作用.这种词叫做单一语素词4。Morphemes which are realized by more than one morph according to their position in a word.Such alternative morphs are known asallomorphsallomorphs。一些词素被按照语素在其中排列而认识，那些替换的语素被称为语素变体。5.the morpheme of plurality|-s：tpk 后面（s）、dbgl 后面（-z）、iz 是在 sz J，3,3,tj，C13C13之后the p

37、ast tense 过去形式simple present 一般现在时possessive 所有格 comparative orsuperlative degrees 比较级和最高级6.（1）Free Morphemes（自由词素）：have complete meaning in themselves and can be used asfree grammatical units in sentences。A free morpheme is one that can stand by itself.(which areindependent of other morphemes are c

38、onsidered to be free）.不依靠其他语素的语素是自由语素。这些语素自己有完整的意义可以在句子中当作自由的语法单位来使用。（2)Bound Morphemes（粘着语素）：A bound morpheme is one that cannot stand by itself.Theyare bound to other morphemes to form words。Bound morphemes are chiefly found in derivedwords.+例子例子 不能作为独立词出现的语素是粘连语素。这样称呼因为它们粘连其他语素去构成单词。粘连语素主要出现在派生词中

39、。7.-ist“的实践者”；al 表示“的，关于的”，-ize 表示使成为；ation 表示：“动作”,“过程，-ic与有关的8.Bound Morpheme includes two types：（1)bound root（粘附词根）+例子例子(2)Affix(词缀）（1)a bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a freeroot。Unlike a free root，it is a bound form and has to combine with othe

40、r morphemes tomake words.一个粘连词根是词中承担基础意义的部分,如同自由根词。和自由根词不同的是,他是一个粘连形式不得不与其他词素组合来构成单词.In English,bound roots are either Latin or Greek。Although they are limited in number，theirproductive power is amazing。（2)Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function.词缀

41、是附属在单词上或者单词元素上以修改词语意义和功能的结构。9.Affixes can be put into two groups：1)Inflectional affixes（屈折词缀）:affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammaticalrelationships are inflectional，thus known as inflectional morphemes。是附加在词尾用来表示屈折关系，因此被称为“屈折词素”。2）Derivational affixes(派生词缀）：derivational affixes a

42、re affixes added to other morphemes tocreate new words.派生词缀是加在其他语素上建立新词的词缀。派生词缀可以分为前缀和后缀。Prefixes come before the word and the suffixes after the word10.A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analysed without total loss ofidentity.词根是一个词的基础形式不能在没有丧失定义的前提下继续分解。In terms of derivati

43、onal and inflectional morphology，a root is that part of a wordform thatremains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been re moved。根据派生和屈折语形学，“一个词根是词语中去除所有屈折词缀和派生词缀都去除剩下的部分。11。A stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can be added.词干可以被定义为任何词缀都能够添加的形式。Chapter 4 Word-

44、Formation IIChapter 4 Word-Formation II（构词法（构词法)1。The expansion of vocabulary in modern English depends chiefly on word formation 现代英语中词汇的扩张只要依靠构词法2.构词法分类:affixation（30%-40%)词缀法（30%40 )compounding(28%30)复合法(28%30 )conversion(26%）转化法(26 ）shortening(8%-10%)缩略法（8%-10 ）blending and other means(15）拼缀法和其他

45、方法（1%-5）3.Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-forming orderivational affixes to stems.This process is also known as derivation,derivation,for new words created inthis way are derived from old forms。The words formed in this way are called derivativesderivatives。词缀

46、法通常被认为是通过添加词形或者派生词缀到词干以构成新词的方法。这个过程也被称作“派生”，因为通过这种方式创造的新词是从旧词派生而来。通过这种方式造出的词叫做“派生词”.4。affixation falls into two subclasses:prefixationprefixation and suffixationsuffixation。（1)Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems。Prefixes do notgenerally change the word-class of the

47、stem but only modify its meaning.前缀法通过给词干加前缀来构成新词.前缀通常不改变词干的词类但是只改变它的意思。The majority of prefixes are characterized by their non-class-changing nature。Their chieffunction is to change meanings of the stems。前缀的大多数都以不改变词类的特点为特征。它们的主要功能是改变词干的意义。（2）Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suff

48、ixes to stems.Unlike prefixeswhich primarily change the meaning of the stem,suffixes have only a small semantic role,theirprimary function being to change the grammatical function of stems。后缀法是通过添加后缀到词干来构成新词的方法。不象前缀主要改变词干的意思，后缀只有一个很小的意义作用,它们的主要作用是改变词干的语法功能。we shall group suffixes on a grammatical ba

49、sis into noun suffixes，verb suffixes,adjectivesuffixes我们可以根据语法基础将后缀分为名词后缀，动词后缀，形容词后缀，等等后缀的类别 Deverbal 动词派生 Denominal 名词派生 需要记需要记5。Compounding,also called composition，is the formation of new words by joining two ormore stems.Words formed in this way are called compounds.复合词也叫组合词，是通过连接两个以上词干构成新词的方式。通过

50、这样的方式构成的词叫复合词。三个特征：(1）Phonetic features(exceptions:sociolinguistics，psycho-analysis）（2）Semantic features:a lot of compounds are transparent许多复合词是意义明确的（3）Grammatical features6。Compounding can take place within any of the word classes,but the productive ones are nounsand adjectives followed by verbs t
