探究二
了解英语构词法(Word Formation)和前缀(prefix)、后缀(suffix)英语单词构成有其规律,很好的掌握了构词规律,才可以很好、很快的、准确的记忆单词。常见的构词法有合成(Compounding)、派生(Derivation)和转化(Conversion)。前缀和后缀属于派生法。英语单词的核心部分,在于词根(root),词的意义主要是由组成单词的词根体现出来的。词根可以单独构成词,也可以彼此组合成词,通过前缀(prefix)后缀(suffix)来改变单词的词性和意义。也就是说,单词一般由三部分组成:词根、前缀和后缀。词根决定单词意思,前缀改变单词词义,后缀决定单词词性。
单词中位于词根前面的部分就是前缀。前缀,可以改变单词的意思。常见的前缀有如下几类:
前缀
意义
举例
di/ dis
否定
disagree 不同意
il/im/in/ir
否定
illegal非法的;impossible不可能的;impolite不礼貌的;irrational不合理的
mid
中间
midnight半夜;midsummer仲夏
non
否定
nonsmoker不抽烟的人
over
过度
overwork工作过度
un
否定
unusual 不寻常的
mis
错,坏
misunderstand误会;misspell拼错
re
回,再
return返回; review复习
后缀:英语单词中的后缀没有任何实在意义,只表示词性。常用的后缀有三种:动词后缀、名词后缀和形容词后缀。例如:
后缀
意义
举例
able 形容词化
可…的;能…的
comfortable舒适的;
reusable可重复利用的
ance, ence 名词化
状态,行为,性质
importance重要性;confidence自信

kindness善良;sadness悲伤;
