构词法概说

一、英语的构词法概说

1. 英语的主要构词法

英语主要有三种构词法:

转化(conversion)——由一个词类转化为另一个词类:

shop(名词)商店 → shop(动词)购物

派生(derivation)——通过加前后缀构成另一个词:

happy → unhappy(加前缀)

happiness(加后缀)

happily(加后缀)

unhappily(既加前缀,又加后缀)

unhappiness(既加前缀,又加后缀)

合成(compounding)——由两个或更多词合成一个词:

in+come → income(收入)

happy+go+lucky → happy-go-lucky(无忧无虑的)

2. 一些次要的构词法

除了上述主要构词法外,还有一些次要的构词法:

截短法(clipping):

即把一个词截去一部分,构成一个新词,可以截去前面部分(1),也可截去后面部分(2):

(1)telephone → phone(电话)aeroplane → plane(飞机)

helicopter → copter(直升机)omnibus → bus(公共汽车)

bicycle → cycle(自行车)

(2)advertisement → ad(广告)exposition → expo(博览会)

gentlemen's → gents(男厕所)public house → pub(酒店)

stereophonic → stereo(立体声的)mathematics → maths(数学)

professional → pro(职业的)examination → exam(考试)

laboratory → lab(实验室)photograph → photo(照片)

microphone → mike(麦克风)memorandum → memo(备忘录)

taxicab → taxi(出租车)kilogram → kilo(公斤)

有个别词前后各截去一部分,如:

refrigerator → fridge(冰箱)influenza → flu(流感)

有时几个词合成一个词,如:

a prefabricated house → prefab(预制房屋)

a popular song singer → pop-singer(流行歌曲歌手)

混合(blend):

即把两个词各取一部分混合在一起:

news broadcast → newscast(新闻广播)

parachute troops → paratroops(伞兵)

television broadcast → telecast(电视播送)

transfer+resistor → transistor(晶体管)

travel catalogue → travelogue(旅游影片或游记)

motorist's hotel → motel(供开车旅客住的旅馆)

breakfast and lunch → brunch(早午餐,早饭午饭一起吃)

Europe+Asia → Eurasia(欧亚大陆)

smoke and fog → smog(烟雾)

缩写(abbreviation):

有些词可以缩写,其中有些按字母读音(1),有些像单词一样拼读在一起(2):

(1)TB(肺结核)MIT(麻省理工学院)

BBC(英国广播公司)VIP(重要人物,贵宾)

CNN(美国有线电视新闻网)CBS(美国哥伦比亚广播公司)

PRC(中华人民共和国)U.S.A(美国)

UK(联合王国,英国)UN(联合国)

IMF(国际货币基金组织)WTO(世界贸易组织)

WB(世界银行)LA(洛杉矶)

B.A.(学士学位)M.A.(硕士学位)

PhD(博士学位)MP(英国会议员)

(2)NATO /'neɪtəʊ/(北约)OPEC /'əʊpek/ (石油输出国组织)

UFO /'ju:fəʊ/(不明飞行物,亦可读作/ˌju:ef'əʊ/)

UNESCO /ju:'neskəʊ/(联合国教科文组织)

laser /'leɪzə/(激光)radar /'reɪdə/(雷达)
