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]。

词汇学复习资料

词汇学复习资料

词汇学复习资料词汇学复习资料词汇学是语言学的一个重要分支,研究词汇的构成、分类和使用规律。

对于学习一门语言来说,掌握丰富的词汇是非常重要的。

在这篇文章中,我们将提供一些词汇学的复习资料,帮助读者巩固和扩展词汇量。

一、词汇的构成词汇是语言的基本单位,是由一个或多个音素组成的。

在不同的语言中,词汇的构成方式也有所不同。

例如,英语中的词汇主要由字母组成,而汉语中的词汇则由汉字组成。

1. 字母构词法英语中的词汇通常由字母组成,可以通过添加前缀、后缀和词根来构成新的词汇。

例如,单词“unhappiness”由前缀“un-”(表示否定)和词根“happy”组成。

2. 字形构词法汉语中的词汇由汉字组成,可以通过添加偏旁部首、衍生字和合成字来构成新的词汇。

例如,汉字“学”可以通过添加偏旁部首“子”来构成“字”,表示学习。

二、词汇的分类词汇可以按照不同的分类标准进行分类,例如按照词性、语义和用途等。

下面是一些常见的词汇分类。

1. 词性分类词汇可以分为名词、动词、形容词、副词、代词、介词、连词和感叹词等不同的词性。

名词用来表示人、事物或概念,动词用来表示动作或状态,形容词用来描述人或事物的特征,副词用来修饰动词、形容词或其他副词,代词用来代替名词,介词用来表示位置、时间或方式,连词用来连接词语或句子,感叹词用来表示强烈的情感。

2. 语义分类词汇可以按照词义的相似性进行分类。

例如,可以将名词按照人、动物、植物、物体、抽象概念等进行分类;将动词按照行为、状态、感觉、思维等进行分类;将形容词按照颜色、大小、形状、性质等进行分类。

3. 用途分类词汇可以按照在句子中的作用进行分类。

例如,可以将词汇分为实词和虚词。

实词包括名词、动词、形容词和副词,它们在句子中起到实际的意义;虚词包括代词、介词、连词和感叹词,它们在句子中起到连接或修饰的作用。

三、词汇的使用规律词汇的使用规律是指在特定语境中使用词汇的约束条件。

不同的语言和不同的语境中,词汇的使用规律也有所不同。

英语词汇知识点归纳

英语词汇知识点归纳

英语词汇知识点归纳英语词汇是学习英语的基础和核心部分,掌握了丰富的词汇量和相关知识点,才能更好地理解和运用英语。

本文将对英语词汇的相关知识点进行归纳,帮助读者系统地了解和学习。

一、词根与词缀词根是词汇的基本组成部分,它能够给词汇赋予一定的意义。

在英语中,许多词根来自希腊语和拉丁语。

例如,"tele-"表示远程,"bio-"表示生命,"photo-"表示光,"multi-"表示多个等。

掌握这些常见的词根,可以帮助我们理解和记忆更多的英语词汇。

另外,英语词缀是在词根基础上进行扩展和变化的部分。

常见的词缀包括前缀(如"un-"表示否定)和后缀(如"-tion"表示名词化)。

通过了解常见的词缀,我们可以推测出许多词汇的意思和用法。

二、词义辨析英语中有很多词汇在意义上非常相近,但在使用场景和语义上有一定差异。

对于这些词汇,我们需要进行准确的辨析,避免用词错误。

例如,"big"和"large"这两个词都表示"大"的意思,但"big"更常用于描述体积,而"large"则更常用于描述面积。

通过积累和比较这些词汇的用法,我们能够更准确地表达自己的意思。

三、近义词与反义词除了词义的辨析外,英语中还存在许多近义词和反义词。

近义词指的是意思相近但用法略有差异的词汇;反义词则指的是意义完全相反的词汇。

例如,"happy"和"joyful"就是近义词,"happy"强调一种普通的快乐,而"joyful"则强调更加强烈和欢乐的感觉。

"happy"的反义词是"sad","joyful"的反义词则是"sorrowful"。

英语词汇学知识点归纳总结
1.词汇分类:英语词汇可以分为实词和虚词两大类。

实词包括名词、
动词、形容词和副词,是能独立存在并具有词义的词类;虚词包括冠词、
介词、连词、代词和助词,是不能独立存在或不具有词义的词类。

2.词根与词缀:英语词汇中有很多词根和词缀,词根是词的核心部分,词缀是附加在词根上的,可以改变词的词义、词性或词形。

3.词义:英语词汇的词义可以通过定义、同义词、反义词、上下义词
等方式进行描述和解释。

词义可以有直观意义、引申意义和隐喻意义等。

4.词汇建构:英语词汇的建构可以通过合成、派生、转化、缩略等方
式进行。

合成是通过将两个或多个词根组合成一个新词,派生是通过添加
前缀或后缀来构成新词,转化是通过改变词的词类来构成新词,缩略是通
过省略部分词组或词根来构成新词。

5.词汇变化:英语词汇的变化形式包括时态、语态、人称、数和比较等。

词汇的变化形式可以通过词形变化、语法变化和语义变化等方式进行。

6.外借词:英语词汇中存在大量的外借词,这些词汇主要来自拉丁语、希腊语、法语、德语等其他语言。

外借词在英语中经过适当的拼写、读音
和意义调整后被接受和使用。

7.同源词:英语词汇中存在一些同源词,这些词源于同一词根或词源,并在语音、形态或词义上有一定的相似性。

了解同源词可以帮助理解和记
忆词汇。

8.词汇扩展:英语词汇在发展的过程中会发生扩展,即一个词从最初的特定意义扩展到更广泛的意义。

词汇扩展可以通过引申、转义、隐喻等方式进行。

这些是英语词汇学中的一些主要知识点,通过对这些知识点的学习和理解,可以更好地掌握和应用英语词汇。

3.2 Allomorphs (语素变体)同质异晶,同质异象变体1.Morphemes are abstract units.‘They are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning’语素是抽象的单位,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形素①single morphs单一语素词:bird, tree, green, sad, want, desire,Most morphemes are realized by single morphs,Words of this kind are called monomorphemic words.大多数语素通过单个的形素实现,语素与词相同叫做单一语素词.These morphemes coincide withe words as they can stand by themselves and function freely in a sentence.Words of this kind are called monomorphemic words.这些语素与词相同,由于它们能代表含义而且能够在句子中自由起作用。

它是语言中最小的构词单位。

(2)词素的特点:①All the morphemes have their own meanings, but they cannot be further divided, otherwise they will not make any sense.所有的词素都有自己的意义;它们不能再细分了,否则将会没有任何意义。

②Morphemes may have some variants. 词素可能会有一些变。

e.g. - ation. May also be -tion, -sion,-ion, but they belong to the same suffix because they have the same meaning and grammatical function.二、Morphs and Allomorphs形素和词素变体(1)形素的定义:The phonetic or orthographic strings or segments which realize morphemes are termed ‘morphs’.体现词素的语音串和拼写字节被称为形素。

(2)形素与词素的关系:Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs.词素是抽象的单位,是由分立的形素在话语中具体实现的。

(3)词素变体:An allomorph refers to a member of a set of morphs, which represent one morpheme.词素变体指一套形素中的一个成员,表征一个词素。

总结:语言中最小的不可再分的意义单位是词素。

morpheme又可称为形位、语素等。

词素是抽象的,它是通过形素morph表现出来的。

词素还有变体形式,在语言学中称为词素变体allomorph。

三、Classifying Morphemes词素分类(1)in terms of their capacity of occurring alone 根据能否独立出现分类Free vs. bound morphemes 自由词素/粘着词素➢Free morphemes(自由词素):Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are free. Free morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences.自由词素是能独立运用的词素,它有完整的意义,在句中充当一个自由的语法单位。
