Word and Vocabulary ns

A word is defined as a minimal free form。a sound unity。a semantic unity。and a form that can n alone in a sentence.

Vocabulary refers to all the words in a language。It is the sum of all the words。and the XXX is like that een an individual and a group.

Sound and Meaning

XXX.

Sound and Form

The written form of a natural language is the XXX een sound and form occur due to the n of the English alphabet from the Romans。XXX。the differences created by nal scribes。and the continuing XXX.

XXX languages。such as Latin。Greek。French。etc。are known as borrowing or loanwords。These words have been incorporated into the language over time and have e a part of the vocabulary.

In terms of n。words can be divided into basic words and

non-basic words。Basic words are XXX to all speakers of the language。stability。productivity。polysemy。XXX-basic words。on the other hand。include terminology。jargon。slang。argot。dialectal words。archaisms。and neologisms.

Content words。also known as full words or nal words。are able to express clear meanings。while nal words。also known as empty words or form words。show the XXX.

Native words are those brought by the Germanic tribes。such as the Angles。Saxons。and Jutes。XXX.

It XXX languages。including French。Latin。and more recently。from

XXX.不断借用其他语言,包括法语、拉丁语,最近还有西班牙语和汉语等语言。

Word endings have largely disappeared。and the language has e much simpler in its

grammar.词尾大部分消失,语法变得简单了。

Chapter 2

The Indo-European Language Family

The Indo-European language family is composed of most of the languages in Europe。the Near East。and India。This language family can be classified into the Eastern Set and the Western Set。which includes Germanic.

XXX

Old English。from 450 to 1150.had a small vocabulary of about 50,000 to 60,000 words。It had a small number of borrowings from XXX.

Middle English。from 1150 to 1500.had a XXX number of foreign words。mainly from French and Latin。Word XXX.

Modern English。from 1500 up to the present。has a vast vocabulary of over 170,000 words and XXX languages。including French。Latin。and XXX。XXX endings have largely disappeared。and the language has XXX grammar.

英语具有巨大且多样的词汇,许多外来词以及词尾消失的现象。其一般特征包括接受性、适应性和异质性,简洁的屈折性以及相对固定的语序。英语词汇中的外来成分主要来自拉丁、希腊、法语和XXX的纳维亚语,其次还有意大利语、日耳曼语、荷兰语、西班牙和葡萄牙语以及凯尔特语。当代英语词汇的发展方式包括创词、旧词新义和借词。词素是构成单词的最

小有意义单位,它们具有自己的意义,不能再细分,但有时会有一些变体,n、n,但它们属于同一个后缀,因为它们具有相同的意义和语法功能。

XXX.

粘着词素不能独立运用,必须附着在其他词素上才能构成单词。它们有不完整的意义,在句中不能作为自由的语法单位。举例:-ness。-able。-ment。-er

粘着词素包括前缀、后缀、词根变化等,它们不能单独使用,只有与其他词素结合才能构成单词。

2)XXX根据语法功能分类

XXX派生词素/屈折词素

XXX(派生词素):

XXX.

派生词素用于构成新词或改变现有词的意义或词性。它们通常是粘着的词素。

派生词素包括前缀、后缀、词根变化等,可以改变单词的意义和词性,例如:un- (unhappy)。-ful (helpful)。-ize (realize) XXX(屈折词素):

XXX.

屈折词素用于表示语法关系或屈折范畴。它们通常是粘着的词素。

屈折词素是用来表示单词的时态、语态、数、人称等语法范畴的,例如:-s (dogs)。-ed (walked)。-ing (running) 根据语义和语法,词素也可以分类。

XXX (语义分类)

根据语义,词素可以分为:

实义词素:可以独立表达意义的词素,如“dog”、“happy”。

虚词素:不能单独表达意义的词素,如冠词、介词、连词等。

Syntactic n (语法分类)

根据语法,词素可以分为:

主要词素:可以构成句子主干的词素,如名词、动词、形容词等。

辅助词素:不能构成句子主干,但可以用来修饰主要词素或表达语法关系的词素,如冠词、介词、连词等。

Lexical morphemes。also known as content morphemes。XXX construct new words。XXX -ship and -ize.

On the other hand。XXX (-s) and free morphemes (such as in。and。do。have。etc。- nal words).

Morphemes can be identified by their forms。meaning。and n.

n is the process of creating a morpheme by using a word or part of a word.

XXX: clipping and using an old form as a morpheme。Clipping can be done through front clipping (e.g。e-。info-。and docu-) or back clipping (e.g。from。-gate from watergate)。An

old form can be used as a morpheme。such as -speak (Clinton speak).

Morpheme and n

In the study of n。morphemes are classified into four categories: root。stem。base。and affix.

XXX to words or other word elements to modify their meaning or n。They can be XXX: XXX.

A root is the part of a word that XXX.

A stem is the part of a word that XXX.

A base refers to a form to which any kind of affix (both nal and nal) can be added。It can be a root or a stem。Unlike a root。

a base can be analyzed from a nal perspective and XXX added to it。

A base is also different from a stem。as both XXX can be added

to it。while only XXX can be added to a stem.

For example。the word "individualistic" can be analyzed as having the stem/base "individualist," which can be further broken down into the stem/base "individual" and the base "dividual,"

which in turn can be traced back to the root/stem/base "divide."

There are nine methods of word XXX:

1.n (n)

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/fc19243437.html,pounding

3.XXX

4.XXX

5.XXX

6.Acronymy

7.n

8.Sound n

9.n of Proper Names

n。also known as n。is the process of forming new words by adding XXX new words from them。There are different types of n。including n。XXX to create new words。Prefixes can be negative。reversative。pejorative。of degree or size。of n and attitude。locative。of time and order。number。n。miscellaneous。or new.

XXX word XXX two or more words to create a new word。There are three main types of compounding: noun-noun。adjective-noun。and verb-noun.

n。also known as shifting。is the process of changing a word's grammatical category without adding any affixes。For example。the verb "to email" can be converted into the noun "email."

Blending is the process of combining parts of two or more words to create a new word。For example。"smog" is a blend of "smoke" and "fog."

Clipping。also known as shortening。XXX from a word to create a shorter n。For example。"professor" can be clipped to "prof."

Acronymy involves creating a new word from the first letters of a phrase。For example。"NASA" stands for "nal Aeronautics and XXX."

Back-XXX from an existing word。For example。"editor" was formed from "editorial."

XXX a word or part of a word to create a new word。For example。"choo-choo" is a n of the sound made by a train.

Finally。XXX。"kleenex" is a common noun derived from

the proper noun "XXX."

n是通过给词基添加可构词的词缀或者派生后缀来构成新

词的过程。它可以分为四种类型:名词后缀、形容词后缀、副词后缀和新后缀。相比之下,前缀则是放在词前,语法上不特别重要,但可以修饰词汇意思。

复合法是通过连接两个或以上的词基来构成新词。一个复合词在语法和语义上都作为一个单一的词汇单位。复合词可以用实心、连字符或开放式的写法来表达。

XXX free phrases。XXX。semantic。grammatical。XXX

us methods。with the three major classes being noun。adjective。and XXX.

XXX。with ns of nouns。verbs。adjectives。and adverbs。They can also be analyzed at the syntactic level。with subject-verb。

verb-object。and verb-XXX based on their n。such as place。time。instrument。and others.

Adjective compounds XXX nouns。verbs。adjectives。and adverbs。They can also be categorized based on their structure。such as noun-verb-ing。adjective-verb-ing。noun-adjective。and adjective-adjective。Other structures include noun-verb-ed。adjective-verb-ed。adverb-verb-ed。noun-noun-ed。adjective-noun-ed。number-noun-ed。number-verb-ing。adverb-verb-ing。and verb-ed-adverb.

The internal grammar of compounds can be seen in structures such as verb-object and verb-adverb.

英语词汇学 1 .idiom: An English idiom is a group of words with a special meaning different from the meaning of its constituent words. Idioms are usually semantically opaque, i.e. metaphorical rather than literal. 2. Blending is a process of word-formation in which a new word is formed by combing and sounds of two words, one of which is not in its full form or both of which are not in their full forms: e.g. newscast (news + broadcast), brunch (breakfast + lunch). 3. complementaries (互补反义词):complementaries or contradictories represent a type of binary semantic opposition. E.g. alive and dead, single and married, present and absent. 4. Polysemy (一次多义): A term used in semantic analysis to refer to a lexical item which has a range of different meanings. E.g. the word fair has various meanings : “(of attitude, behaviour) just and honest”; “(of result) average, quite good”; “(of the weath er)clear and sunny”; “(of the mount)satisfactory, abundant”; “(of the skin)pale; light in color”; “clean, clear; with out blemish” 5.conceptual meaning(概念意义): Conceptual meaning (also known as denotative meaning) is the meaning given in the dictionary and forms the core of word meaning. Being constant and relatively stable, conceptual meaning forms the basis for communication as the same word has the same conceptual meaning to all the speakers of the same language. Take 'The sun rises in the east' for example. The word sun here means 'a heavenly body which gives off light, heat, and energy', a concept which is understood by anyone who speaks English. 6.affixation(派生法): Derivation or affixation is generally defined as a word-formation process by which new words are created by adding a prefix, or suffix, or both, to the base. (举例) 7.analogical creation a way to coin word by following an existing word already established 1) Single Word; telethon/talkathon-marathon//starquake/youthquake-earthquake chairperson/woman/one-chairman//cheese/beef/shrimpburger-hamburger 2) Phrase; sound/air/language/visional/cultural pollution-environment pollution swim/stay/stand in-sit in//botel/airtel/-motel 选择和判断 1. nonce word: (为特定场合的需要)而临时造的词: A nonce word is a word used only "for the nonce"—to meet a need that is not expected to recur. Quark, for example, was a nonce word in English appearing only in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake until Murray Gell-Mann quoted it to name a new class of subatomic particle. The use of the term nonce word in this way was apparently the work of James Murray, the influential editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. " Runcible spoon", from Edward Lear, which later came to describe a curved fork with a cutting edge. 2. grammatical/function words

英语词汇学第一章

Chapter 1 1.1 What Is a Word 词的概念:A word can be defined as a meaningful group of letters. (一个词可以被定义为一组有意义的字母) 词包含以下几点: ① a minimal free form of a language.一门语言中最小的形式 ② a sound unity.一个声音统一体 ③ a unit of meaning.一个意义单位 ④ a form that can function alone in a sentence.能在句子中起独立作用的一个形式 A word is a free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function.词是一门语言中具有一定的声音,意义和句法功能的最小形式 Words can be simple and complex.词可以是简单的也可以是复杂的 1.2 Sound and Meaning 声音与意义之间的关系:This symbolic connection is almost always arbitrary,and there is no logical relationship between the sound and the actual thing and idea itself .The relationship between them is conventional. 这种象征性的联系几乎总是任意的,声音与实际的事物和观念本身没有逻辑关系。他们之间的关系是约定俗成的。 1.3 Sound and Form 读音与拼写不一致的原因:①The English alphabet was adopted from the Romans,which does not have a separate letter to represent each sound in the language. ②The pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years. ③Some of the differences were created by the early scribes. ①英语字母表是从罗马人那里采用的,罗马人没有一个单独的字母来代表语言中的每个 声音。 ②这些年来,发音的变化比拼写的变化更快。 ③有些差异是由早期的抄写员造成的。
