英语构词法主要有三种:合成、转化和派生。
合成:将两个意思不同的单词结合成一个新词。
这类词可以由“名词+动词”、“名词+名词”或“形容词+名词”等构成。如:
构词法
①名词+动词:sun + rise → sunrise
②名词+名词:note + book → notebook
③形容词+名词:blue + berry → blueberry
④动词+名词:work + room → workroom
⑤形容词+动词:high + light → highlight
⑥动词+副词:break + up → breakup
日出、黎明、晨曦
笔记本(电脑)
蓝莓;西部幽灵
工作室、作坊
阐明、说明
解体、分裂
注意:
1. 在合成词中有的词连写,有的词不连写,有的词之间用连字符连接。
eg keyboard, network, newspaper, bus stop, post office, high-speed, CD-ROM, warm-up
The teacher wrote the equation on the blackboard.
Don’t forget to buy toothpaste when you go to the supermarket.
Online check-in for your flight is available 24 hours before departure.
He made a last-minute decision to join the trip.
2. 合成形容词被视为一个单词,常放在所修饰词的前面。
eg Do you know the middle-aged man sitting on the chair?
My neighbor is a kind-hearted lady.
转化:一个单词的词形不经过任何变化而由一种词性转化为另一种词性。
eg ①名词转化为动词:ship (n.) → ship (v.) (to send or transport sth. /sb. in a ship)
After his training, the soldier was shipped off to a foreign base.
②形容词转化为动词:green (adj.) → green (v.) (to make ... environmentally friendly)
Over the years, they have greened the hillside by planting thousands of trees.
③介词转化为名词:the ups and downs of life
Dealing with the emotional ups and downs of adolescence can be challenging for teenagers.
④连词转化为名词:no ifs, ands, or buts
You’re going to the dentist, no ifs, ands, or buts about it!
派生:通过给一个单词加前缀或后缀构成另一个词。(前缀一般改变词义而不改变词性,后缀一般改变词性而不改变词义)
