14、y have some variants. 詞素可能會(huì)有一些變。e.g. - ation. May also be -tion, -sion,-ion, but they belong to the same suffix because they have the same meaning and grammatical function.2、 Morphs and Allomorphs形素和詞素變體(1) 形素的定義：The phonetic or orthographic strings or segments which realize morphemes are termed mor

15、phs. 體現(xiàn)詞素的語(yǔ)音串和拼寫(xiě)字節(jié)被稱(chēng)為形素。(2) 形素與詞素的關(guān)系：Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs. 詞素是抽象的單位，是由分立的形素在話(huà)語(yǔ)中具體實(shí)現(xiàn)的。 (3) 詞素變體：An allomorph refers to a member of a set of morphs, which represent one morpheme. 詞素變體指一套形素中的一個(gè)成員，表征一個(gè)詞素?？偨Y(jié)：語(yǔ)言中最小的不可再分的意義單位是詞素。 morph

16、eme又可稱(chēng)為形位、語(yǔ)素等。詞素是抽象的，它是通過(guò)形素morph表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的。詞素還有變體形式，在語(yǔ)言學(xué)中稱(chēng)為詞素變體allomorph。3、 Classifying Morphemes詞素分類(lèi)(1) in terms of their capacity of occurring alone 根據(jù)能否獨(dú)立出現(xiàn)分類(lèi) Free vs. bound morphemes 自由詞素/粘著詞素Ø Free morphemes(自由詞素)：Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are free. Free morphemes have

17、complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences.自由詞素是能獨(dú)立運(yùn)用的詞素，它有完整的意義，在句中充當(dāng)一個(gè)自由的語(yǔ)法單位。舉例：man, wind, open, tourn 自由詞素都是詞根, 也叫自由詞根, 能用作詞或作為構(gòu)成新詞的構(gòu)詞要素。Ø Bound morphemes(粘著詞素)：Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound. They are bound to other morp

18、hemes to form words or to perform a particular grammatical function. 粘著詞素不能獨(dú)立成詞，只能依附于其他詞素上以構(gòu)成詞或擔(dān)當(dāng)一定的語(yǔ)法功能。n 粘著詞素包括詞根（粘著詞根）和詞綴。舉例： bound root: -dict-, -ced- affix: -ion, -ist, -ic(2) on the basis of the capacity of forming new words根據(jù)能否構(gòu)成新詞分類(lèi) Derivational vs. inflectional morphemes派生詞素/屈折詞素Ø Deri

19、vational morphemes(派生詞素)Derivational morphemes are used to derive new words when they are added to another morpheme. In English derivatives and compounds are all formed by such morphemes.派生詞素附著于其它詞素可派生出新詞。英語(yǔ)中派生詞都是由這樣的詞素構(gòu)成的。派生詞素的特點(diǎn)：n 改變?cè)~干的意義和詞性n 表明單詞內(nèi)的語(yǔ)義n 出現(xiàn)在一些詞類(lèi)里的部分語(yǔ)素中n 在任何屈折詞綴添加之前出現(xiàn)Ø Inflectio

20、nal morphemes(屈折詞素)Inflectional morphemes indicate the syntactic relationships between words and function as grammatical markers. Inflectional morphemes are confined to suffixes. 屈折詞素作為語(yǔ)法標(biāo)記表示詞的語(yǔ)法意義，屈折語(yǔ)素只限于詞綴。屈折詞素的特點(diǎn)：n 不改變?cè)~干的意義和詞性n 表明句子中不同單詞的句法和語(yǔ)義關(guān)系n 出現(xiàn)于一些大的詞類(lèi)里所有語(yǔ)素中n 出現(xiàn)于單詞的邊緣(3) on a semantic and syn

22、rammatical morphemes function primarily as grammatical markers. They encompass both inflectional affixes(-s) and free morphemes ( in, and, do, havefunctional words)語(yǔ)法詞素主要作為語(yǔ)法標(biāo)記，包含屈折詞綴和自由詞素。4、 Identifying Morphemes詞素的識(shí)別How to identify morphemes? They should be identifiable by their forms, meaning and

23、 distribution. 他們應(yīng)該通過(guò)形式、意義、分布來(lái)識(shí)別。5、 Morphemization and New Morphemes 詞素化和新詞素(1) Morphemization is the process of creating a morpheme using a word, or part of a word.詞素化是通過(guò)一個(gè)詞或者詞的一部分來(lái)創(chuàng)造一個(gè)詞素的過(guò)程。(2) two ways of creating new morphemes:1 clippingØ front clipping e.g. e-, info-, and docu-Ø back

24、cliping e.g. -net(from internet), -gate(from watergate)2 using an old form as a morpheme e.g. -speak (Clinton speak)6、 Morpheme and Word-formation詞素和構(gòu)詞In word-formation, morphemes are labeled root, stem, base and affix. 在構(gòu)詞法中, 語(yǔ)素被分為詞根、詞干、詞基和詞綴。1 Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word e

25、lements to modify meaning or function. All affixes are bound morphemes. 詞綴都是粘著詞素，依附于單詞或其他構(gòu)詞材料構(gòu)成新詞或表示詞的語(yǔ)法意義。Ø Two types of affixes: Inflectional affixes and Derivational affixes屈折詞綴和派生詞綴2 A root is that part of a word form that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been rem

26、oved. 詞根是所有屈折詞綴和派生詞綴被去掉后所剩余的那部分。3 A stem is that part of the word-form which remains when all inflectional affixes have been removed. 詞干是所有屈折詞綴被去掉后所剩余的那部分。4 A base refers to a form to which affixes of any kind (both derivational and inflectional) can be added. It can be a root or a stem. 詞基是任何一種詞綴都可

27、加在上面的形式。 它與詞根有區(qū)別，因?yàn)樗强梢詮呐缮嵌冗M(jìn)行分析的形式，在上面可以加上派生詞綴。但是詞根則不容許做進(jìn)一步的分析。詞基與詞干也是不同的，因?yàn)榕缮~綴和屈折詞綴都可以加在詞基上，而只有屈折詞綴可以加在詞干上。舉例：individualisticindividualist stem, baseindividual stem, basedividual basedivide root, stem, baseChapter 4一共9中構(gòu)詞方法：Ø Affixation (derivation) 詞綴法Ø Compounding 復(fù)合法 最重要的三種（往年考過(guò)）
