As their chief function is to express the relation between notions, the relation between words as well as between sentences, they are known as form words. Prepositions, conjunctions, auxiliaries and articles belong to

16、 this category. 功能詞沒有他們自己的概念。因此，他們也稱作“空詞”。由于他們的主要功能是去表達概念間的關系，詞語間和句子間的關系，他們被認為是“結構詞”。介詞，連詞，輔助詞和冠詞屬于這一類14.區別：Content words, which constitute the main body of the English vocabulary, are numerous, and the number is ever growing whereas functional words, which make up a very small number of the vocabul

35、are known as morphemes.the morpheme is ' the smallest functioning unit in the composition of words'.最小的意義單位叫做“詞素”。詞素是“詞語組成中最小的功能單位”。2.Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs.詞素是抽象的單位，在話語中被認知通過分開的單位，這單位叫做“語素”。'They are actual spoken , m

36、inimal carriers of meaning'. 它們實際上是能發音的最小的意義載體。The morpheme is to the morph what a phoneme is to a phone.語素是一個音素發音的詞素。3. Morphemes coincide with words as they can stand by themselves and function freely in a sentence .they are called monomorphemic words.語素與詞相同，由于它們能代表含義而且能夠在句子中自由起作用。這種詞叫做單一語素詞4.

37、 Morphemes which are realized by more than one morph according to their position in a word. Such alternative morphs are known as allomorphs.一些詞素被按照語素在其中排列而認識，那些替換的語素被稱為”語素變體”。5.the morpheme of plurality |-s復數詞素（s）：tpk后面（-s）、dbgl后面（-z）、iz是在sz J, 3, tj, C13之后the past tense過去形式 simple present 一般現在時 pos

38、sessive 所有格 comparative or superlative degrees 比較級和最高級6.（1）Free Morphemes（自由詞素）: have complete meaning in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. A free morpheme is one that can stand by itself. (which are independent of other morphemes are considered to be free). 不依靠其他語素的

39、語素是自由語素。這些語素自己有完整的意義可以在句子中當作自由的語法單位來使用。（2）Bound Morphemes(粘著語素): A bound morpheme is one that cannot stand by itself. They are bound to other morphemes to form words. Bound morphemes are chiefly found in derived words. +例子 不能作為獨立詞出現的語素是粘連語素。這樣稱呼因為它們粘連其他語素去構成單詞。粘連語素主要出現在派生詞中。7. -ist“的實踐者”； -al表示“的，關于

40、的”， -ize表示使成為；-ation表示： “動作”,“過程”， -ic與有關的8. Bound Morpheme includes two types粘連語素包括兩種，粘連詞根和詞綴。: (1) bound root(粘附詞根) +例子 (2)Affix(詞綴)(1) a bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root. Unlike a free root, it is a bound form and has to combine with o

41、ther morphemes to make words. 一個粘連詞根是詞中承擔基礎意義的部分，如同自由根詞。和自由根詞不同的是，他是一個粘連形式不得不與其他詞素組合來構成單詞。In English, bound roots are either Latin or Greek. Although they are limited in number, their productive power is amazing. 在英語中，粘連詞根或者是拉丁語或者是希臘語。盡管它們數量有限，它們的生產力驚人。它們誕生了成千上萬的派生詞，在現代英語中。(2)Affixes are forms that

42、are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function.詞綴是附屬在單詞上或者單詞元素上以修改詞語意義和功能的結構。9. Affixes can be put into two groups: 根據詞綴的功能，我們可以把它們分為“曲折詞綴”和“派生詞綴”。1)Inflectional affixes (屈折詞綴):affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional,thus know

43、n as inflectional morphemes. 是附加在詞尾用來表示屈折關系，因此被稱為“屈折詞素”。2)Derivational affixes(派生詞綴): derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. 派生詞綴是加在其他語素上建立新詞的詞綴。派生詞綴可以分為前綴和后綴。Prefixes come before the word and the suffixes after the word前綴出現在詞前，后綴出現在詞后。 10. A root is the basic

44、 form of a word which cannot be further analysed without total loss of identity. 詞根是一個詞的基礎形式不能在沒有喪失定義的前提下繼續分解. In terms of derivational and inflectional morphology, a ' root is that part of a wordform that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed'. 根據派生和屈折語形學，

45、“一個詞根是詞語中去除所有屈折詞綴和派生詞綴都去除剩下的部分。11. A stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can be added. 詞干可以被定義為任何詞綴都能夠添加的形式。Chapter 4 Word-Formation II(構詞法)1.The expansion of vocabulary in modern English depends chiefly on word-formation現代英語中詞匯的擴張只要依靠構詞法2. 構詞法分類：affixation (30%-40%) 詞綴法（ 30 -

46、40 ）compounding (28%-30%) 復合法（ 28 -30 ）conversion (26%) 轉化法（ 26 ）shortening (8%-10%) 縮略法 （ 8 -10 ）blending and other means (1%-5%) 拼綴法和其他方法（ 1 -5% ）3. Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to stems. This process is also known as deri

47、vation, for new words created in this way are derived from old forms. The words formed in this way are called derivatives. 詞綴法通常被認為是通過添加詞形或者派生詞綴到詞干以構成新詞的方法。這個過程也被稱作“派生”，因為通過這種方式創造的新詞是從舊詞派生而來。通過這種方式造出的詞叫做“派生詞”。4. affixation falls into two subclasses: prefixation and suffixation. 加詞綴法可以分成兩類：前加詞綴和后加詞綴。

48、（1）Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems. Prefixes do not generally change the word-class of the stem but only modify its meaning. 前綴法通過給詞干加前綴來構成新詞。前綴通常不改變詞干的詞類但是只改變它的意思。The majority of prefixes are characterized by their non-class-changing nature. Their chief functio

49、n is to change meanings of the stems. 前綴的大多數都以不改變詞類的特點為特征。它們的主要功能是改變詞干的意義。（2）Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to stems. Unlike prefixes which primarily change the meaning of the stem, suffixes have only a small semantic role, their primary function being to change the gra

50、mmatical function of stems. 后綴法是通過添加后綴到詞干來構成新詞的方法。不象前綴主要改變詞干的意思，后綴只有一個很小的意義作用，它們的主要作用是改變詞干的語法功能。we shall group suffixes on a grammatical basis into noun suffixes, verb suffixes, adjective suffixes我們可以根據語法基礎將后綴分為名詞后綴，動詞后綴，形容詞后綴，等等后綴的類別Deverbal動詞派生Denominal名詞派生 需要記5. Compounding, also called compositi

51、on, is the formation of new words by joining two or more stems. Words formed in this way are called compounds. 復合詞也叫組合詞，是通過連接兩個以上詞干構成新詞的方式。通過這樣的方式構成的詞叫復合詞。三個特征：（1）Phonetic features（exceptions：sociolinguistics，psycho-analysis）讀音特點。在復合詞中詞語中銀通常出現在第一個基本音上，然而在名詞短語中第二個基本音通常加重，如果只有一個重音的話。如果有兩個重音，復合詞第一個重音在第

52、一個基本音。第二個重音如果有，在第二個基本音上，自由詞組正相反。（2）Semantic features語意特征：a lot of compounds are transparent許多復合詞是意義明確的（3）Grammatical features法特征一個復合詞傾向于在句子中扮演一個獨立的語法角色，例如，動詞，名詞，或者形容詞。6. Compounding can take place within any of the word classes, but the productive ones are nouns and adjectives followed by verbs to a

53、 much lesser extent復合適用于任何詞類，但是最具生產力的是名詞和形容詞后跟動詞，這樣程度更小。7.Formation of compounds復合詞組成（1）Noun compounds（名詞）名詞性復合詞（2）Adjective compounds（形容詞）各11種需了解2.形容詞性復合詞（3）Verb compounds（conversion or backformation）動詞復合詞動詞復合詞不如其他兩種常見。有限的動詞是通過反轉或逆序法來造詞。8.conversion（zero-derivation零派生）反轉Conversion is the formation

54、of new words by converting words of one class to another class. 轉換法是通過轉換詞類到另一詞類的構成新詞方法Since the words do not change in morphological structure but in function, this process is also known as functional shift. 由于詞沒有改變形態但是改變了功能，這個過程被稱為“功能轉換”。Conversion is generally considered to be a derivational proce

55、ss whereby an item is adapted or converted to a new word class without the addition of an affix. Hence the name zero-derivation反轉通常被認為是一個派生的過程，一個詞條被改變或者反轉成為新詞類，沒有添加詞綴。因此叫做“零派生”。Words produced by conversion are primarily nouns, adjectives, and verbs. 通過反轉產生的主要是名詞，形容詞和動詞。conversion is not only a chang

56、e of grammatical function of the lexical item involved but with it the different range of meaning that it originally carried轉換不僅是詞條語法功能的轉換，而且因為轉換出現不同的語意范圍，和原來承載的不同。9. In some cases, conversion is accompanied by certain changes which affect pronunciation or spelling or stress distribution. The most c

57、ommon changes are:（1）Voiceless to voiced consonant（2） Initial to end stress在某些情況下，反轉被增加一定的變化，這些變化會影響讀音或者拼寫或者重音的分布。最常見的變化是：+例子（1）不發音的輔音變成發音的輔音。（2）開始重音到結束重音。10. Blending is the formation of new words by combining parts of two words or a word plus a part of another word. Words formed in this way are ca

58、lled blends or pormanteau words. 混合詞是組合兩個詞的一部分或者一個詞加上另一詞的一部分來構詞的方法。通過這種方式構造的詞稱作“混合詞”或拼級詞。+例子1) head + tail 頭尾2) head + head 頭頭3) head + word 頭整詞4) word + tail 整詞尾11. Another common way of making a word is to shorten a longer word by cutting a part off the original and using what remains instead. This is called clipping另一種造詞的常見方式是縮短一個長詞，用減去原詞一部分，使用剩下部分的方法。這叫刪減。+例子1) Front clipping 前刪2) Back clipping 后刪3) Front and back clipping 前后刪4) Phrase clipping 刪短語12. Acronymy is the pro
