语法专题十一 构词法
[考点解析]
一. 转化法
即兼类词, 在不同的语境中, 名词动用,动词名用等。 例如:
Cook was the first to map the east coast.
库克是第一个画东部海岸地图的人。
…they beached the ship on the shore where they could repair the damage…
他们把船靠岸, 在那里进行修理。
In July they set sail again and headed south and west in search of a new land.
七月份,他们又扬帆起航了,为寻找新大陆向南方和西方航行。
像这样的转化词在我们高中英语教材中可以找到许多, 你也许只学过其中的一种词类的用法, 但根据词类的转化, 你不难看懂这些句子。
再如下列例子中画线部分均为兼类词。
The house can house many people.
这房子可以住下好多人。
The mountain areas in the south are heavily forested.
南部山区森林茂密。
He had a bad headache and needed quiet.
他头痛得厉害,需要安静。
二, 合成法
英语的合成词有合成形容词,合成名词, 合成动词, 合成副词, 合成代词等。 具体看结构巧建图表。
三。派生法
亦称词缀法或缀合法, 具体看结构巧建图表。
这是三种构词法中最活跃的一种, 大约有三分之二的英语单词都是用这种方法构成的。因此, 掌握一些常用派生词的构词规律对于我们正确拼写单词和在阅读中猜词能力的培养就显得尤为重要。
在英语的派生词中, 词根决定词的根本意义, 前缀改变词义, 后缀引起词类的改变(个别后缀还会改变词义)。 如:a-后跟名词或动词, 常构成表语形容词, 有些也可作副词用如:alone, aside, ahead, aloud. “in-“在 “m”之前变体为 “im-“, 在 “ l”之前作 “il-”, 在 “r”之前作 “ir-“; “non-“ 和 “en-“则常加在名词或形容词之前。 但前者所构成的词仍然是名词或形容词, 而后者却构成了动词。 “un-“常用于动词或形容词之前。 其派生词仍为动词或形容词。
有时候,,你在阅读中会碰到既有前缀又有后缀的派生词, 只要你确认它的词根, 你就可以猜到她的含义。 如:independent, disorderly, inattention, rebroadcast, non-communism, nonconductor, undeveloped, intercultural, unrealizable. unrecognizable, etc.
构词法图表祥解:
