Abstract

词汇是我们在英语学习过程中最大的障碍。然而,英语构词法能够帮助我们很好的辨别并正确理解英语,同时也可以在短时间内增加我们的词汇量,英语构词法是学习英语的有效途径和强有力的“武器”,在所有的英语构词法中,词缀法能够生成的新单词是最多的也是最广泛,它被认为英语学习的最佳途径之一。除了词缀发以外,复合法、转类法、混成法、截短法、首字母拼音法、逆向构词法也都是英语学习的有效途径

Vocabulary is one of the main obstacles of English study. However English word formation can help us recognize English words, understand them correctly, and enlarge our vocabulary quickly. It is an efficient way and powerful weapon for English study. Among them,affixation is the strongest one to form a great range of vocabulary, and it is claimed to be one of the best ways of learning English. Besides, compounding, conversion, blending, clipping, acronyms, back-formation are also efficient ways of learning English. In the paper the ways and characteristics of word formation is analyzed form these aspects: affixation, compounding, conversion, blending.

Key words: English, lexicology, word formation, affixation

(关键字:英语、词汇学,构词法,词缀法)

Introduction

The expansion of vocabulary in modern English depends chiefly on word formation. There is a variety of means being at work now. The most productive are affixation, compounding and conversion. Talking about word formation patterns means dealing with rules. But not all words which are produced by applying the rule are acceptable. The

acceptability is gained only when the word have gained an institutional currency in the language. Therefore rules only provide a constant set of models from which new word are created from day to day. Rules themselves are not fixed but undergo changes to a certain extent. For instance, affixes and compounding processes may become productive at one time or lose their productivity. By word formation processes, we concentrate on productive or on productive rules. While applying the rules, we should keep in mind that there are always exceptions. In my opinion, the most important principle for all these rules of word formation is economy.

Chapter 1 the function of English word formation

Word formation is an effective way to enlarge our English vocabulary.

Nowadays, more and more people have taken notice of learning English. The number of the people who begin to learn English has increased at a high speed. How can we improve our English effectively is undoubtedly

the focus of our attention. Generally speaking, vocabulary and grammatical rules are keys to learning English well. Among the two aspects, vocabulary apparently plays a more important role.

Vocabulary is the foundation of language. If a language learner doesn’t have enough vocabulary to express his or her opinions and understand other people, even if his or her grammatical rules and pronunciations are excellent, but he can not communicate with others well, he shouldn’t be a good language learner.

Under the influence of traditional teaching mode, teachers often emphasis more on grammatical rules and pronunciations than vocabulary. As a result, students spend a lot of time on remembering new words, but the results are not so efficient. However if we have a knowledge of English word formation, the results will be not that bad. Word formation is really an effective way to enlarge our English vocabulary.

Word formation can help us have a better comprehension of an article.

When we are reading a new article, we often encounter with some new words that we have never seen before. In this case, most of us will leave out the new word and go on with the following sections. However, this is not a good habit. If we want to improve our English, we have to take every new word seriously either look them up in the dictionary or search for the internet. But don’t you think that these methods are inefficient? If we know something about English word formation, maybe the article would not be so difficult for us to understand. In this way, we can guess the meaning of the new word according to what we have learned about English word formation. It has been proved that our guess is correct in most cases. So we say word formation can help us have a better comprehension of a new article.

Many new words can be derived based on the rules of word formation

Recent years, the use of computers as a medium of communication has given birth to a new language phenomenon-cyber language. A large amount of cyber language has sprung up. Not all the new vocabulary can be recognized by human society. Some new words only emerged in a very short time and then disappeared, however, there are still a lot of words are shared by many people. Finally, these words are recognized by the whole human society. Some are even added to the reversed dictionary. Can we say that these words are unreasonable and irrational? The answer is absolutely “No”.

Most of the new words that have been recognized are derived based on certain rules of word formation. For example, the sentence “3QU” is widely used in the chatting room on the internet by foreigners. This is

also known as one important characteristics of English word-productivity. So it is necessary for us to learn English word formation.

Chapter 2 Affixation

Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to bases. This process is also

known as derivation, by which new words derived from old or base forms. The words that are created in this way are called derivatives. According to the position affixes occupy in words, affixation falls into three subcategories: pre-fixation, in-fixation and suffixation.

Pre-fixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to bases, which do not generally change the word-class of the base. That is to say, prefixes do not change the part of speech of a word. Their chief function is to modify its meaning, although there are exceptions. In my opinion, prefixes can be divided into: negative prefixes, pejorative prefixes, prefixes of degree or size, prefixes of time and order, and so on.

Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to bases. Their primary function is to change the grammatical function of the base, such as the change of the word class with a slight modification of meaning, though there are a few exceptions. Suffixes can be divided into noun suffixes, adjective suffixes, adverb suffixes, and verb suffixes. I can give you an example. The word “countless”, “-less” change the

part of form and show the negative meaning of the stem.

Infixes are not so common and they usually show a kind attitude of

the speaker and will not change the part of form and meaning of words.

Chapter 3 Compounding

Compounding is the formation of new words by joining two or more bases. Words formed in this way are called compounds. So a compound is a ‘lexical unit consisting of more than one base and functioning both grammatically and semantically as a single word’ (Quirk).Compounds can

be written solid, hyphenated and open. Compounds have remarkable characteristics which are different from noun phrases. It comes down to three major ones:

1) Phonological features. In compounds the word stress usually occurs on the first constituent whereas in noun phrases the second element is generally accented if there is only one stress. In cases where there are two stresses, the compound has the primary stress on the first element and the second stress, if any, on the second, whereas the opposite is

true of free phrase.

2) Semantic features. Compounds differ from free phrases semantically. Every compound should express a single idea just as one word. The

meaning of a free phrase can not be inferred from the two components of itself. Nevertheless, a lot of compound are transparent, that is to say, the meaning can be obtained from the separate elements of compounds. But

the two elements are inseparable and the change of the element would result in the loss of the original identity.

3) Grammatical features. Two elements of a compound each plays a separate grammatical role, which can be seen in the way the expressions are handled morphological. For example, compound nouns often show their plural forms by taking inflectional –s at the end. Though there are exceptions, their ‘one-wordness’ identity is apparent.

Chapter 4 Conversion

In English learning, students will often confused with words which have two or more part of form. Many of such conditions are caused by conversion. Conversion is the formation of mew words by converting words of one part of speech to those of another part of speech, without changes in morphological structures but in function. Words created in this way are new only in a grammatical sense. Words produced by conversion are primarily nouns, adjectives and verbs. The most productive, however, is the conversion that takes place between nouns and verbs. It deserves nothing that conversion is not only a change of grammatical function of the item involved but with it the different range of meaning is originally carried.

Chapter 5 Blending

Blending is a very productive process and many coinages are resulting from blending have become well established. Moreover, they can sever as models for new formation. It is not the Combination of two words directly, but to combine parts of two words or a word plus a part of another word. This kind of word formation is called blending. This processes including:

The first part of the first word +the last part the second word.

The whole part of the first part +the last part the second word.

The first part of the first word +the first part the second word.

The whole part of the second word + the first part of the first word.

The overwhelming majority of blends are nouns; very few are verbs and adjectives are even fewer. Blends are mostly used in writing related to science and technology, and newspapers and magazines. Though many of them have already achieved currency in English, they are still considered by the serious-minded people to be slang and informal. However, it is advisable not to use such words too often, particularly

in formal writing.

Conclusion

Language develops with the development of society and vocabulary is sensitive to the changes of society. Some old words are abandoned and some new ones are created. Most of the new words in English are created according to certain rules and conformed to certain methods. These rules and methods are closely related to English word formation. So it is

essential, as well as important, for us to learn word formation, especially for the students of English major.

成绩 Root and Affixation of Lexicology Abstract: It’s important and permanent to master the vocabulary in the English learning. Everyone who has ever set foot on English realizes that it’s somewhat incredible for us to reciting numerous and difficult words. Nevertheless, there are some skills we should acquire to make word-recitation easier and more effective. This paper mainly discusses the using of vocabulary root and affix. Only by having a good knowledge of the roots and affixes, can we prosper our English vocabulary and further our English study. Key words: root; affixation; detailed analysis; difficult words 1Introduction: Blindly reciting numerous and difficult words is a total waste of time and energy. Especially, situation becomes worse for the college students with little words storage and non-interest. However, most of the English words are comprised with roots and affixes, which are limited, stable and short. If we acquire them, it will be much simpler and rapider for us to recognize the unfamiliar and difficult words through the analysis on roots and affixes. If we can master and know how to use them properly, it will be a big step for the further study of this foreign language. A road of a thousand miles begins with each single step, so does the English words. Now we are going to learn the root and affixation respectively. Definition is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity and it carries the main component of meaning in a word. By learning the roots, we will find it not complicated for us to understand the long and difficult words which we often encounter in the tough reading test. However long and tough the word is, we can divide it into several parts, the fundamental part is the root and then we can understand what it means and fluently blurt it out without repeating it. Here are some detail analyses of the examples: Internationalist: nation is the root which means country or state, inter- is prefix meaning between or interactive, -al is the suffix and the –ist is the suffix meaning the person. So you will quite simply find its meaning. Invigorate: the root is vigor similar to power and energy, in- means making sth have the function of verb, here is make sth vigor, -ate is the verb suffix. So invigorate is to make sth vigorous. Antecedent: -ced- is the root referring to motion or going forward, ante- is before, and –ent means somebody. So antecedent is somebody who moves ahead of us, the same as forefather or ancestor. Protract: -tract is the root like pulling sth or extending sth make it wider or longer, pro- is the prefix meaning “ahead”. After analyzing this word, we know that “protract” is similar to prolong meaning make sth longer or longer to live. A lot of words contain this root, such as detract, extract, subtract, attract, tractable, intractable, etc. Arbitrariness: arbitrary is the root indicating to randomness or out of order, -ness is the noun suffix. The profound meaning of learning roots is that you will find it much easy to memorize words because there are so many word share the same root. No matter how long and hoe difficult the word is, the basic meaning of the word is stable and unchangeable. If we recite words according the

浅析英语词汇巧记法 摘要:词汇是英语学习的基础,没有足够的词汇量就不可能高水平的掌握英语这门外语,而浩瀚的词汇海洋让很多人望而生畏。尽管花费了大量时间精力去背,记忆的效果却差强人意,原因就在于没有使用科学的方法记忆词汇。其实,世间万物都是有规律性的,英语单词的组词与构词方法也有规律,了解了它的规律有利于我们有效甚至高效学习英语单词。为了提高单词记忆的效率,本文从不同方面介绍几种记忆方法。 关键词:词汇科学记忆规律效率 一.读音记忆法 1.拼读法 英语是拼音文字,英语中的单词的读音大多是有规律的,熟悉字母及字母组合的发音规则,掌握正确的拼法与读音之间的关系,可以根据单词的读音,降低记忆难度,正确地拼写单词。 例如ay读[ei]。带有ay字母组合的词,如say,day,way,pay,may,play,spray,不仅发音容易,而且拼写也没有任何困难。Sh ch tion ture 等也都有固定读音,ee发音为i: culture 文化pasture牧场mature 成熟的architecture 建筑学带有true的单词也都能很方便的记忆下来

2.谐音法 尽管有些人认为用这种谐音记忆法记忆单词不科学,不利于正确掌握发音,但实践证明,对尚未掌握外语的构词特点和记词规律的初学者来说,采用谐音法记单词确实能有效地记住一部分难记的单词。但是,在用谐音法记单词时需要特别注意,绝不可将其作为模仿发音的依据,只能作为记忆单词时的谐音联想手段,以加强记忆,而必须按照单词的标准发音去读记,以避免这种记词法干扰正确发音。用谐音法记单词是,根据外语单词的读音到中文中寻找与其读音相似的谐音,寻找到谐音与单词的联系。用这种方法甚至可能达到终身不忘,这也正是谐音记忆法的绝妙之处。 例如:mouth嘴[联想:说话“冒失”的就是嘴] think想[联想:想时要“深刻”] 二.联想法 1.拆分联想 科学研究表明:联想是记忆的基础。世界著名的生理学家巴甫洛夫指出:"记忆要依靠联想,而联想则是新旧知识建立联系的产物。”联想法是联想记忆的进一步运用和发展。它是指学习者展开积极丰富的想象力,使所要记忆的知识生动、形象化,通过联想在新旧知识(如英语熟词词义与生词词义)之间建立起一种联系,从而达到以旧带新、快速记忆的目的。

It includes most languages of Europe, the Near East, and India. Those languages, which are believed to have originated from this language family and developed alone different lines, show various degrees of similarity to one another. They fall into eight principal groups, which can be grouped into an Eastern Set东部诸语族: Balto-Slavic波罗的-斯拉夫语, Indo-Iranian印度伊朗语族, Armenian 亚美尼亚语族and Albanian阿尔巴尼亚语族; a Western Set: 西部诸语族Celtic凯尔特语族, Italic 意大利语族, Hellenic希腊语族, Germanic日尔曼语族.

英语词汇学论文(浅谈英语词汇的发展)

英语是当今国际性最强的语言。对学习英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对英语知识的掌握会是一个很大的促进。英语是当今国际性最强的语言。在全世界用得最广的10种语言中,英语居首,虽然说汉语的人数占世界首位,但说英语的人在世界上分布最广。对学英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对学习英语不仅是一个很大的促进,而且随着英语在我国经济、商业各部门的地位Et趋重要,对英语词汇的发展有个大概的了解,会为较快地扩大词汇量,掌握更多的英语知识铺平道路。一种民族语言及其词汇的发展与民族的历史密切相关。要了解英语词汇的发展史,不可避免地跟整个英语的发展史,及至英国的历史是密不可分的。不列颠群岛的最早居民是克尔特人。公元前55年,罗马人在凯撒大帝的率领下入侵不列颠群岛,克尔特人被赶入威尔士和苏格兰的深山之中。这一时期,在英国历史上称为罗马占领时期。直到公元410年,罗马占领时期才告结束。随后,来自德国北部平原的三个13耳曼部落盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人开始来到不列颠定居,英语就是盎格鲁——撒克逊人的语言。语言史家一般把英语的历史分为三个时期:古英语时期;中古英语时期;现代英语时期。一、古英语时期:又称盎格鲁——撒克逊时期。13耳曼部落在不列颠定居以后,各自占领了一地区。盎格鲁人占领了泰晤士河以北的英格兰大部地区和苏格兰的低地;撤克逊人占领了泰晤士河以南的大部分地区;朱特人占领了肯特郡一带地区。由于全国长期没有统一,所以,古英语时期存在着多种方言,其中撒克逊语曾一度占主导地位,在英语形成过程中起了重要作用。古英语的词汇有着浓厚的13耳曼语族的特点,这主要表现为复合法是重要的构词方法,复合词在古英语词汇中占有显著地位。据统计,在英语史诗《贝奥伍夫》的3000行诗句中,竞有1069个复合词,像fifteen,Sunday,Monday等都在其中。古英语时期有两个重要历史事件给英语词汇带来较大影响。第一件事是基督教传人英国。公元597年,一个名叫奥古斯丁的牧师从罗马来英国传教,罗马文化随着基督教传人英国。与此同时,一批拉丁词汇进入英语,像表示家庭用具的词如kettle,cup;表示植物名称的词有pear,beet;以及street,wall,wine等。此外,还有大批与宗教有关的拉丁词汇进入英语,像creed,pope,priest,gospel等。第二件事是北欧人人侵英国。从公元790年开始,大量斯堪的纳维亚人在英国定居,丹麦国王卡纽特还一度成为英国的君主。斯堪的纳维亚人和英国人交往频繁,很多斯堪的纳维亚词汇进入英语。这表现在:1、英语中的一些常用代词(they,them,their,both,same等)都来自斯堪的纳维亚语。2、与普通百姓的13常生活有关的很多词汇来自斯堪的纳维亚语。如:名词有anger,egg,fellow,gate,husband等;形容词有happy,ill,weak,wrong等;动词有call,get,give,lift,raise等。这些斯堪的纳维亚词汇至今仍在英语中广泛使用。二、中古英语时期:公元1066年,诺曼人在威廉率领下,横渡英吉利海峡,在哈斯丁战役中击溃了盎格鲁撒克逊军队。英王哈罗德战死,英国被征服,这在历史上称为诺曼征服。诺曼征服对英语的发展有巨大的影响。早在诺曼征服以前,法语词汇就开始进入英语。英法两国隔海相望,历史上两国交往频繁,在古代和中世纪,两国的王室、贵族通婚时有发生。以诺曼征服为起点的中古英语时期,约有10000多法语词汇进入英语,其中75%流传至今并仍在使用。诺曼征服以后,英国结束了分裂状态,置于中央集权的封建制度统治之下。诺曼人占据了教会和政府的一切重要职务。以后的二、三百年间,诺曼法语成为英国的官方语言,普通人仍然说英语,但英语的文字记载几乎中断。直到1204年以后,英语才逐渐恢复主导地位。15世纪,伦敦标准方言兴起。这一时期,英语词汇的变化相当显著,由于诺曼法语度是英国统治阶级的语言,大批法语词汇涌入英语,这在政治、宗教、法律、军事、社交、服饰、饮食——凡是与统治阶级有关的一切领域都有反映。法语词成为这些领域所用词语的主体。据说,一个受过相当教育的英国人,即使没

英语词汇学的论文怎 么写

英语词汇学的论文怎么写? 英语词汇学习 在英语词汇学习过程中,学习者要遵循第二语言习得的规律,掌握并灵活运用多种词汇学习策略。可分为词汇表策略、语境策略、精加工策略、语义场策略。 一.词汇表策略(Word list strategy ) 词汇表策略一般为:一列是按字母顺序排列的英语单词,另一列是这些单词的汉语意思(等值词、同义词或近义词)。有些学者认为,通过词汇表策略能够迅速且有效地学会大量的词汇。然而,Gaims 和 Redman 却指出,通过词汇表记忆词汇会阻碍对所记词汇进行充分地处理和系统地组织,因此就失去了有效的长时记忆的基础。语言大师桂诗春教授也认为,词汇表策略既费时又费力,徒劳无功,因为这种做法不仅把外语的词语和母语的词语等同起来,而且把它从语言和语境中孤立出来。 二.语境策略( Context strategy ) 语境策略就是学习者通过上下文语言环境所提供的信息对出现在语境中的生词进行猜测,从而习得这个单词。语境策略是目前比较流行的词汇学习策略之一,它不仅仅可以扩大词汇量,而且可以让学生了解有关目的语的文化知识。但是,Channell ( Carter &McCarthy ,1988:89 ) 认为,音节认知和重音认知对学习者理解词汇起着非常重要的作用。为了更好地理解词汇,学习新单词的方法应使学习者准确地内化和吸收新单词:即学会单个音标的发音、了解音节数、掌握重音位置。从这一方面来看,运用语境策略学习词汇不能算是一个很好的方法。 三.精加工策略( Elaborative strategy )

精加工策略是指通过对学习材料进行深入细致的分析、加工,理解其内在的深层意义并促进记忆的一种策略。皮连生(1998)在《学与教的心理学》一书中也曾提到:“精细加工策略”(同“精加工策略”)指对学习材料作精细的加工活动,即通过在要记忆的材料上增加相关的信息来达到对新的材料记忆的学习方法。如对材料补充细节、举出例子、作出推论或使之与其它观念形成联想等,旨在为知识的检索提取提供新的途径,为知识的构建提供额外的信息。精加工策略的关键是将学习者头脑中已有的经验与要学习的词汇联系起来,充分利用已有的经验对要学习的词进行深水平的加工,使其合理化、富有意义,进而达到理解、记忆的目的。学习者已经掌握的熟悉的母语知识或外语知识、头脑中生动鲜明的形象以及其他多种相关的知识经验等都可以作为已有的经验加以利用。 最常用的精加工策略是联想。联想又可以分为:词缀联想、对比联想、关系联想、接近联想、相似联想等。心理学认为,联想反映了客观事物之间的联系。它在促进人的记忆、想象、思维等心理活动中占有重要的地位。在运用联想学习词汇时,通过串联归类,纵横联系,辨析分解,在脑际建立相互依存的知识结构,从而战胜遗忘,增强记忆。例如:词缀联想。在学习词缀 -tion时,学习者可以联想-tion构成的词汇:corporation , administration , competition , congratulation , description 等。通过词缀联想,学习者可以学一个会一串,迅速地扩大词汇量。Krashen 在“输入假设”( input hypothesis ) 中也提到:只有接受可理解性输入( comprehensible input ),语言习得才会产生。精加工策略,可以建立形象与词汇之间的联系,使抽象的材料具体化,使学习者要记忆的目标词转化为可理解性输入,这一信息加工过程遵循了 Krashen 的“输入假设”,是一种行之有效的英语词汇学习策略。 四.语义场策略( Semantic field strategy ) 语义场理论是德国学者 J.Tries (引自伍谦光,1995:94)最先提出来的。这个理论的核心就是探讨词所表达的类概念与词表达的种概念之间的关系。根据这
