英语词汇学通论

英语词汇学通论一、基本概念部分。
1. 单词(Word)- 发音:[wɜːd]- 词性:名词。
- 定义:具有一定语音形式、表示一定意义、可以独立运用的最小语言单位。
例如,“book”(书)、“run”(跑)等都是单词。
2. 词素(Morpheme)- 发音:[ˈmɔːfiːm]- 词性:名词。
- 定义:是语言中最小的语义单位。
词素分为自由词素(Free Morpheme)和粘着词素(Bound Morpheme)。
自由词素可以独立成词,如“man”(男人);粘着词素不能独立成词,如“ -ment”(表示行为、结果等的后缀,如“development”发展)。
3. 词根(Root)- 发音:[ruːt]- 词性:名词。
- 定义:是单词的核心部分,包含着单词的基本意义。
例如,在“unhappiness”中,“happy”是词根,表示“高兴”的基本意义。
二、构词法(Word - formation)1. 派生法(Derivation)- 发音:[ˌderɪˈveɪʃn]- 词性:名词。
- 解释:通过在词根上加前缀(Prefix)或后缀(Suffix)来构成新词的方法。
- 示例:- 加前缀:“un -”(表示否定) + “happy”(高兴的) = “unhappy”(不高兴的),“un -”的发音是[ʌn]。
- 加后缀:“teach”(教)+“ -er”(表示人) = “teacher”(教师),“ -er”的发音是[ə(r)]。
2. 合成法(Compounding)- 发音:[kəmˈpaʊndɪŋ]- 词性:名词。
- 解释:把两个或两个以上的词组合成一个新词的方法。
- 示例:- “black”(黑色的)+“board”(木板) = “blackboard”(黑板),“black”发音为[blæk],“board”发音为[bɔːd]。
- “day”(天)+“break”(打破,破晓) = “daybreak”(黎明),“day”发音为[deɪ],“break”发音为[breɪk]。

8.2 Semantic broadening and narrowing
8.2.1 Semantic broadening 8.2.1.1 definition
semantic broadening (the widening/ extension/generalization of meaning) : the word takes on a wider, more general meaning than it had previously. E.g. the meaning of bird, formerly ‘young bird’, was extended, in the early history of English, to mean ‘bird’ in general. mill/journal/bonfire/butcher/companion
8.2.1.2 different types of broadening 从特指到泛指: sun “江” 、“河” 从具体到抽象: place, thing(a public assembly, Old English and Old Norse / an entity of any kind) circumstance 从术语到一般词语 allergic, feedback 从专有名词到普通名词 sandwich newton ampere
8.3.2 semantic degradation

01 构词法简介
什么是构词法
01
构词法是研究词汇变化和形成的 科学,它主要研究词素组合的方 式、词素替换的规则等。
02
构词法包括词根、前缀、后缀、 词尾等元素,这些元素可以组合 、替换、变化,形成新的词汇。
构词法的重要性
构词法是语言学中重要的分支学科, 它对于理解语言的形成和发展、词汇 的变化规律以及语言的实际应用都有 重要的意义。
通过学习构词法,可以更好地理解词 汇的构成和意义,提高语言表达能力 。
构词法的分类
合成法
派生法
将两个或多个词素组合在一起形成新词的 方法。例如,“bookstore”由“book” 和“store”组合而成。
特点
前缀构词法是一种相对简单且易于掌 握的构词方法,通过添加前缀可以快 速创造新词。
规律
限制
虽然前缀构词法可以创造大量新词, 但并不是所有词根都可以随意添加前 缀,需要考虑到语言的语法和语义规 则。
前缀构词法有一定的规律可循,如 “dis-”通常表示否定意义,“re-” 通常表示重复或再次。
03 后缀构词法
04 合成词构词法
合成词的定义与构成方式
合成词定义
由两个或两个以上的词素组合而成的词。
构成方式
通过不同的组合方式,如名词+动词、形容词+名词、副词+动词等,形成具有特 定意义的合成词。
常见英语合成词举例

If we want to express meanings, we need to have a store of words that we can select from when we wish to express these meanings under the control of grammatical rules.
What is linguistics then? Linguistics is the scientific study of
languages.
