Period 5 Grammar -- Conversion and Suffix
Conversion 词性转化
“Conversion” (called sometimes “full conversion”) is a word-formation process by which a word is altered from one part of speech into another without the addition (or deletion) of any morpheme.
词性转化指的是单词从一个词类转到另一个词类而不发生词形变化。
1. noun →verb
paper―to paper the room
mouth―to mouth some phrase
shoulder―to shoulder the heavy load
bandage―to bandage the leg
2. verb→noun
to say something―to have a say
to show ―to give a show
to feel ―to have a feel
to lead―to take a lead
3. adj.→verb
empty―to empty the bag
wrong ―to wrong somebody
slow― to slow down
better―to better your study
4. adv.→verb
back―to back a car
down―to down a plane
near― to near the temple
forward― to forward a message
5. adj.→ noun.
calm― a calm on the sea
high― a new high of the industry
good― a lot of good
right― to tell from right to wrong
suffix 后缀
构词法包括合成、派生、转化和缩写简写。词缀是派生的一部分。
The basic part of any word is the root; to it, you can add a prefix at the beginning and/or a suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word “unflattering,” the root is simply “flatter,” while the prefix “un-” makes the word negative, and the suffix “-ing” changes it from a verb into an adjective (specifically, a participle).
English itself does not use prefixes as heavily as it once did, but many English words come from Latin, which uses prefixes and suffixes (you can use the word affix to refer either to a prefix or a suffix) quite extensively. For example, the words “prefix,” “suffix,” and “affix” themselves are all formed from “fix” by the use of prefixes:
“ad” (to) + “fix” (attached) = “affix”
“pre” (before) + “fix” = “prefix”
“sub” (under) + “fix” = “suffix”
Note that both the “-d” of “ad” and the “-b” of “sub” change the last letter.
Here are some of the most common Latin prefixes (for the meanings of the Latin roots, look up the words in a good dictionary):
ab (away) abrupt, absent, absolve
ad (to) adverb, advertisement, afflict
in (not) incapable, indecisive, intolerable
inter (between, among) intercept, interdependent, interprovincial
intra (within) intramural, intrapersonal, intraprovincial
pre (before) prefabricate, preface prefer
post (after) postpone, postscript, postwar
sub (under) submarine, subscription, suspect
trans (across) transfer, transit, translate
Affixes
Morphemes added to free forms to make other free forms are called affixes. There are three principle kinds of affixes:
prefixes (at beginning) — “un-” in “unable”
suffixes (at end) — “-ed” in “walked”
circumfixes (at both ends) — “en—en” in “enlighten”(These always seem to consist of otherwise attested independent prefixes and suffixes.)
