express (v. 表达) → expression (n.表情)
gesture (n.手势) → gestural (adj.手势的)
eye + contact → eye contact(眼神交流)
hand (n.手) → hand (v.递)
Can you find something similar between each pair?
Three types of word formation:
转化(conversion)、合成(compounding)
和派生(derivation)
1. Learn three types of word formation :conversion, compounding and derivation and use them to build up your vocabulary.
学习三种构词法(转化、合成和派生),并运用这些规则来扩充您的词汇量。
2.Infer the meanings of new words by using word-formation rules and enlarge vocabulary.
借助构词法推测生词含义,扩大词汇量。
Learning objectives
1. 转化(Conversion):不改变词形,直接把一个单词由一种词性转化为另一种词性。
比如:hand n.手➡️hand v.传递 nurse n.护士➡️nurse v.护理
Activity 2 on page 40:Work out the parts of speech(词性) and meanings of the underlined words in the sentences below.
1. I rest my head on the desk to get some rest.
2. The child displayed great interest in the huge fireworks display.
3. Most students favour the plan, while their teachers are in favour of it.
v.把......靠在;放置
n.表演
v.显露出;表现
n.休息
n.赞同;支持
v.赞同;偏爱
4. Jeremy witnessed the whole incident and was expected to be the key witness at the trial.
5. His lack of eye contact when talking with people shows that he lacks confidence.
6. When he noticed a slight frown on his twin sister’s face, he frowned as well.
n.目击者;证人
v.目击;当场看到
v.缺乏
n.缺乏
n.皱眉
v.皱眉
2. 合成(Compounding):把两个或多个独立的词组合成一个新词,这种新词叫合成词。比如:hand+bag ➡️handbag
特点:
由自由词素组成,如 foot + ball → football。
新词在拼写上可能是连写(handbag)、连字符(well-known)、分写(ice cream)。
意义不一定只是两个词意义的简单相加,可能产生新义,如 greenhouse 不是“绿色的房子”,而是“温室”。
