Notice what the following words have in common: e.g. -tain contain, detain retain (L tenere "to hold")
-ceive conceive, deceive receive. (L capere "to take") revive vitamin vital vivacious vivid In Modern English, they are not words, and not free morphemes; they cannot exist on their own. Nor can they be used to form new words, because these items have no identity outside the small group of words in which they appear. So on formal grounds, ceive, -tain are considered bound morphemes or bound roots which always occur in morphemic sequences, i.e. in combination with roots or affixes.

Chapter 4Affixation 词缀法（30%-40%）Compounding 复合构词法（28%-30%）Conversion 转类法（26%）Shortening 缩略法（8%-10%）包括（clipping截短法acronymy 首字母拼音法）Blending 拼缀法(1%-5%)一.Affixation 词缀法Affixation, also called derivation派生法（derivatives派生词）,is the formation of new words by adding affixes to stems.Affixation is the formation of word by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to stems. Prefixation 前缀法Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems.Feature: prefixes do not generally change the word –class of the stem but only modify its meaning.Classification: we shall classify prefixes on a semantic basis into nine groups.Negative prefixes否定意义的词缀：a-,dis-,in-(il-,ir-,im-),non-,nu-.Reversative prefixes逆向意义的词缀：de-,dis-, un-. e.g. de-compose ,unwarp.Pejorative prefixes贬义的词缀: mal-, mis- ,pseudo-. e.g. mistrust , pseudo-friend.Prefixes of degree or size表示程度、大小等意义的词缀: arch-, extra- ,hyper- ,macro- ,micro- , mini- ,out- ,over- ,sub- ,super-,sur-, ultra- ,under- . e.g. archbishop , hyperactive ,superfreeze. Prefixes of orientation and attitude表示倾向和态度等意义的前缀：anti-, contra- ,counter- pro- . e.g. anti-government,Locative prefixes方位意义的词缀：extra-,fore- ,inter- ,intra- ,tele-, trans-. E.g. extraordinary, telecommunication,Prefixes of time and order表示时间和顺序的词缀:ex-,fore-, post- ,pre- ,re- . e.g. ex-professor , foretell ,post-election.Number prefixes数字的前缀: bi- ,multi- , poly- ,semi-, hemi- ,tri- ,uni- ,mono-. E.g. multi-purpose ,semi-naked, tricycle, monorail.Miscellaneous prefixes其他种类意义的前缀: auto- ,neo- ,pan- , vice- . e.g. autobiography ,vice-chairman.Suffixation 后缀法Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to stems.Feature: suffixes mainly change the word class.Classification: we shall group suffixes on a grammatical basis into noun suffixes , verb suffixes, adjective suffixes, adverb suffixes.Adjective suffixes: It is worth noting that both –ic and –ical can be affixed to the same stem in some cases , but differ in meaning . e.g. economic \economical二.Compounding 复合构词法Compounding , also called composition（compounds 复合词）,is the formation of new words by joining two or more stems.Words produced through compounding yields 28%-30% of all the new words.The differences between compounds and free phrases show in three aspects:1)Phonetic features.2)Semantic features.3)Grammatical features.Formation of compounds1)Noun compoundse.g. Sit-in ，stockholder , up-bringing2)Adjective compoundse.g. law-abiding , record-breaking ,town-bred , four-leg.3)Verb compoundsThe limited number of verb compounds are created either through conversion or backformation. Verb compounds in the way of back-formation are formed mainly by dropping the suffixes:-er, -ing, -ion , etc.三.Conversion 转类法Conversion is the formation of new words by converting words of one class to another class. Conversion is a method of turning words of one part of speech to those of a different part of speech.1.An alternative for conversion is functional shift.2.The derivational process , in which an item is converted to a new word class without theaddition of an affix , is called zero-derivation .3.Words produced by conversion are primarily nouns , adjectives ,and verbs.The most productive conversion is the conversion that takes place between nouns and verbs.4.Full conversion and partial conversion are concerned with adjectives when converted tonouns.1)Full conversion: A noun fully converted from an adjective has all the characteristics ofnouns . It can take an indefinite article or –(e)s to indicate singular or plural number.2)partial conversion: nouns partially converted from adjectives do not possess all thequalities a noun does. They must be used together with definite articles.3)Such words as “the poor ”,”the richer ”,”the most corrupt” are all examples of partial. 5.The conversion of two syllable nouns into verbs involves a change of stress.双音节的名词转化成动词会有重音的变化。

4.1 Affixation
• Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to bases. This process is also known as derivation, by which new words are derived from old or base forms. The words created in this way are called derivatives. According to the position affixes occupy in words, affixation falls into two subcategories: prefixation and suffixation.

Word Formation 1Before we actually deal with the means of word-formation, we need to analyze the morphological structures of words and gain a working knowledge of the different word-forming elements which are to be used to create new words.2.1 MorphemesIt seems to be generally agreed that a word is the smallest unit of a language that stands alone to communicate meaning. Structurally, however, a word is not the smallest unit because many words can be separated into even smaller meaningful units. “The smallest functioning unit in the composition of words”( Crystal 1985) is called morpheme. 2.2Types of MorphemesThere are different ways of classifying morphemes. The popular method is to group them into free morphemes and bound morphemes.2.2.1Free MorphemesMorphemes which are independent of other morphemes are considered to be free. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. They are identical with root words.2.2.2Bound MorphemesMorphemes which cannot occur asseparate words are bound. Bound morphemes are chiefly found in derived words. Let us take recollection,idealistic and ex-prisoner for example. Each of the three words comprises three morphemes, recollection( re+collect+ion), idealistic ( ideal+ist+ic) ,ex-prisoner (ex+prison+er). There are altogether nine morphemes, of which only collect, ideal and prison can exist by themselves. These are free morphemes. All the rest are bound.The English language possesses a multitude of words made up of merely bound morphemes, e.g. antecedent, which can be broken down into ante-, -ced-, -ent. Among them –ced- is a root meaning “approach, go to”. Bound morphemes include two types: bound root and affix.2.2.2.1bound rootA bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root. Unlike the free root , it is a bound form and has to combine with othermorphemes to make words. Take –dict- for example. It is a Latin root which conveys the meaning of “say or speak”, but it is not a word in its own right. Yet with affixes, it can from quite a number of words, such as predict, contradict, dictate, dictation, dictator, diction, and dictionary.In English, bound roots are either Latin of Greek. Although they are limited in number, their productive power is amazing. They give birth to thousands and thousands of derived words in modern English.2.2.2.2AffixesAffixes are forms that attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function. According to the functions of affixes, we can put them into two groups: inflectional and derivational affixes.1)Inflectional affixes (内部曲折词缀)Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional, thus known as inflectional morphemes. In modern English only a few inflectional affixes are left. They include the regular plural suffix –s, which can also be added to verbs to indicate the simple present for the third person singular, -’s ,which indicates the possessive case ofnouns, -er and –est, which are usually attached to simple adjectives or adverbs to show their comparative or superlative degrees, -ed, which is the past tense marker, and –ing, which is added to form present participles or gerunds.2)Derivational affixes (派生词缀)They are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. They can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes.2.3SummaryBased on our discussion, we can sum up the types of morphemes in the following diagram.Free=free rootMorpheme bound root prefixBoundderivational affixAffixsuffixInflectional affixMaterials addedSome prefixes of numbers and examples0.5. semi-, hemi-, demi-, quasi- ( half)semicircle(半圆)hemisphere(半球)demilune(半月,新月)quasi-official(半官方的)uni-, mono- (one) uniform(一致的;制服)unique(唯一的)universal(一般的,普遍的) monologue(独白)monopoly(独占,垄断)2. bi-, di- (two) bilingual(双语的)bilateral(双边的)carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) dialogue(对话)3.tri- (three)triangle(三角形)tricycle(三轮脚踏车)trilogy(三部曲)4. quadr(i)-, quadru- (four) quadrilateral(四边形)quadruped(四足动物) quadruplicate(一式四份)5. penta- (five) pentathlon(五项全能运动) pentagon(五角形)pentameter(五音步诗行)6. hex(a)-, sex- (six )hexagon(六角形,六边形) sextet(六重奏)7. sept(i)- (seven) septennial(七年一次的) September(九月,古罗马的七月) 8. octa-, octo- (eight) octagon(八角形,八边形) octahedron(八面体)octopus(章鱼)9.nona- (nine) nonagon(九边形)nonagenarian(九十至九十九岁的人)10.deca-, deci- (ten) decade(十年)decameter(十米)decimal(十进制的)11.centi-, hecto- (hundred) centimeter(厘米)centipede(蜈蚣)hectometer(百米)13.kilo-, mill- (thousand) kilogram(千克)kilowatt(千瓦)millennium(一千年)Assignment1.

To capture this generalization, a binary feature [±Male] can be established. With the same list we can factor out an opposition between human and non-human:

Semantic Features
The linguistic meaning of a word is the set of abstracted characteristics necessary to distinguish the category which the word names from all other categories. These abstracted characteristics are known as semantic features. Semantic features are used to describe semantic universals that may characterize all languages. All languages, for example, distinguish nouns that categorize abstract from concrete experience; animate from inanimate referents; human
