derivation语言学名词解释
1.Derivation（派生）：在语言学中，派生是指通过在词根或词
干中加入前缀或后缀，创造出新的词汇或改变原有词汇的词形和语义。
2. Prefix（前缀）：前缀是一个词汇成分，它被加到词根或词干的前面，以改变原有词汇的意义或词类。
3. Suffix（后缀）：后缀是一个词汇成分，它被加到词根或词干的后面，以改变原有词汇的意义或词类。
4. Inflection（屈折变化）：屈折变化是指将词汇的形式变化以表示语法意义，比如时态、人称、数、格等。
5. Stem（词干）：词干是词汇中最基本的部分，它是一个单词的核心，其他部分（前缀、后缀）都是加到词干上的。
6. Root（词根）：词根是单词中不可再分的最基本的部分，它通常是由一个单词的意义所共有的最基本的部分。
7. Affix（词缀）：词缀是指前缀和后缀的统称，它们都可以被
加到词根或词干的前面或后面，以改变原有词汇的意义或词类。
8. Productivity（生产力）：在语言学中，生产力指的是某一种派生形式被创造和使用的频率和能力，如果一个派生形式具有高生产力，那么它可以产生更多的词汇，从而使语言更加丰富和灵活。

派生法
派生法派生法（derivation）是英语主要的构词法。
这方法是借前缀或后缀之助，制造出派生词（derivative words），主要有名词、形容词和动词三种。
前缀以否定前缀（negative prefixes）un-, in-, im-, il-, ir-, non-, dis-, mis-, mal-等为主，使延伸出来的派生词变成反义词。
1)名词派生词balance→ imbalance；pleasure→ displeasure；management→ mismanageme nt；efficiency→ inefficiency；concern→ unconcern ；literacy→illiteracy；resolution→irresolution；interference→noninterference；nutrition→malnutrition.2)形容词派生词accurate→inaccurate；patient→impatient. regular→ irregular；legal→illegal；native→non-native；orderl y→ disorderly；common→uncommon.3)动词派生词agree→disagree；judge→misjudge；treat→maltreat；activate→inactivate；use→ill-use；mobilize→immobilize；manage→mismanage；quote→unquote.除了否定前缀之外，其他常用的前缀还有 anti-, auto-, bi-, co-, counter-, de-, ex-, inter-, mono-, post, pre-, pro-, re-, sub-, super-, trans-, tri-, ultra-等。
例如：anti-government（反政府）；auto-intoxication（自我迷醉）；bilateral （双边的）；coexistence（共存）；counter-argument （反建议）；de-emphasize （不强调）；ex-president（前任会长）；international（国际间的）；monolingual （单语的）；post-war （战后的）；precaution（预先防备）；pro-China（支持中国）； re-state（重述）；subhuman（低于人类的）；superimpose（加在上面）；trans-atlantic（横跨大西洋的）；triangle（三角）； ultra-smart （超能的）。

• • A word-formation process in which words are formed by putting two or more words together. The relative criteria of a compound word are as follows: – Orthographic criterion – Phonological criterion (`blackbird black`bird） – Semantic criteria（greenhouse green house)
Some basic concepts
• Word-formation rules: The rules of word – formation define the scope and methods whereby speakers of a language may create new words • A root is that part of a word-form that remains when all the inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed. (it conveys the main lexical meaning)

Word Formation
(1)
The expansion of vocabulary in modern English depends chiefly on word-formation.
The most productive means of word formation are affixation, compounding and conversion.
Affixation: 30%-40%, compounding: 28%-30%, conversion: 26%, shortening (clipping and acronymy): 8%-10%, blending and others 1%-5%.
Rules themselves are not fixed but undergo changes.
There are always exceptions to rules of word-formation.
4.1 Affixation
Affixation is defined as the formation of words by adding word forming or derivational affixes to bases.
According to their position, affixation falls into prefixation and suffixation.
1. Prefixation
Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to bases. Prefixes do not change the word-class of the base but only change its meaning.
The major prefixes can be classified into 10 categories by their meaning.
1. Negative Prefixes否定前缀
Of this group, un- is by far the most productive.
2. Reversative or privative prefixes逆反（反向）前缀
Prefixes of this group are repetition of most of the first set.
3. Pejorative prefixes贬义前缀
4. Prefixes of degree or size程度或大小前缀
5. Prefixes of orientation and attitude倾向和态度前缀
6. Locative prefixes方位前缀
7. Prefixes of time and order时间和顺序前缀
8. Number prefixes数字前缀
9. Conversion prefixes转类前缀
10. Miscellaneous prefixes其它前缀
2. Suffixation
Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to bases.
The primary function of suffixes is to change the grammatical
function of the base, i. e. the change of the word class with a slight modification of meaning.
Suffixes can be grouped on a grammatical basis.
If we call a suffix a noun suffix, that means when it is added to the base, whatever class it belongs to, the result will be a noun.
1) Noun suffixes 名词后缀
(1) Denominal nouns 从名词派生的名词
Concrete: Noun base→Concrete noun
Abstract: Noun base→Abstract noun
(2) Deverbal nouns从动词派生的名词
V erb base→agential noun (行为者名词)
V erb base→abstract noun, denoting action, result, process, state, ect.
(3) De-adjective nouns从形容词派生的名词
(4) Nouns and adjectives suffixes
Base→both nouns and adjectives
2) Adjective suffixes
(1) Denominal suffixes从名词派生的形容词
(2) Deverbal suffixes从动词派生的形容词
3) Adverb suffixes
-wise表示“方向”、“样子”、“状态”、“在…方面”，现代英语中最后一种意义用得比较多，如：
ostrich-wise 像鸵鸟一样地
sleep-walker-wise像梦游者一样
percetage-wise 就百分比来说
calorie-wise 就卡路里来说
educationwise 就教育方面来说
weatherwise在气候方面
taxwise 在赋税方面
curriculumwise 就课程方面来说
housingwise 就住房问题来看
4) V erb suffixes
补充：
petrify 吓呆petroleum 石油
fame 名声，声望infant 婴儿
sist, stitut, sta, st＝to stand（站立）
assist, consist, exist, constituent, persist, stable, establish, obstacle, static, statue, circumstance, distant, ecstasy, prostitute。
