21世纪英语新词的产生和发展-5页文档资料

21世纪英语新词的产生和发展新词的产生，既是一种社会现象，也是一种语言现象。

不断增加的新词给英语学习者带来很多不同的障碍。

因此，对英语学习者而言，对21世纪英语新词的产生及其发展的研究至关重要。

本文对英语新词的产生原因、发展趋势以及新词构词结构进行系统地探讨，旨在帮助英语学习者更好地开展英语学习。

一、英语新词的定义一般来说，界定新词，离不开新词的形式和意义，词是音义的结构体，因此，区分新词可以从形式和意义上来讨论。

首先，新词是指新的形式，新时期产生的以前没出现过的词，比如：microblog，Newbie，Mc job，DINK.语义上来说，新词是指一些在原有意思上衍生新意或新用法的词语，即旧词新用，比如：Sock puppet， strawberry， killer，dish.二、21世纪英语新词的现状和发展趋势据统计，每年大概产生850个新词。

特别是二战后，科学技术等领域的不断变化和飞速发展，出现了许多新事物、新景象。

总的来说，英语新词主要有以下三种发展趋势，第一，大部分新词都会随着时间被淘汰而消失。

第二，少量新词会被接纳为已有词汇的一部分，并最终被录入词典。

第三，部分新词会得到社会的广泛认可，成为人们日常生活中的惯用语。

不管去留如何，新词在语言发展中都有着重要作用，随着社会的变革和科技的发展，新词将会更多的出现。

随着国际交流的深入和网络的普及，也将会有更多的外来词进入英语，英语也会变得越来越具包容性。

英语新词的繁荣也促进了人与人之间的交流，有利于文化的融合。

在未来的发展中，英语新词将更具多样性。

三、21世纪英语新词产生的原因（一）科学技术的发展伴随着每一项创新与发明，总会出现大批的新词与之匹配。

英语中的maglev train， aero train， beam weapons， neutron bomb等新词都是这样应运而生的。

21世纪以来，科学技术突飞猛进，众多新兴学科显现出来，psycholinguistics（心理语言学），bionics（仿生学）等。

英语新词的构成及翻译

英语新词的构成及翻译[ 2009-07-10 17:19 ]英语词汇跟任何现代语言的词汇一样，一直在不断地演变发展。

二战以来，随着政治、经济和科技的变化发展，出现了许多新生事物。

这些变化必须有与之相适合的新词，因此英语中涌现了大量的新词（neologisms）。

为了了解英语中的新词，本文拟从新词的产生、发展及翻译等方面作简单的介绍。

一、新词的产生原因1．政治的变化。

二战以后，世界政治格局发生了很大的变化，这些变化给英语也增添了不少新词。

如：（冷战）cold war,(军备竞赛) arm race, (静坐示威) sit-in, (女权运动)feminism等。

2．经济的发展。

随着经济全球一体化的形成，英语中也出现了不少新词。

比如：（世界贸易组织）World Trade Organization, （石油输出国）Organization of Petrol Exporting Countries, 以及与我们位生活息息相关的（自动取款机）Automatic Teller Machine等。

3 ．科技的发展。

尤其近几十年来，科技迅猛发展，各种高科技产品不断问世，大量科技词汇不断涌现并频见于媒体为大众所熟知，如：（因特网）Internet, （电子邮件）E-mail, （万维网）WWW, （克隆）clone 等等。

4．文化影响。

教育是社会发展的头等大事，任何国家无一例外，因此英语中也有许多关于教育的新词。

比如：（广播、函授教育）distance education,（电视大学）Open University,（热线）hot line, (脱口秀) talk show 等等二、新词的发展途径新词产生的主要途径有创造新词，语义新词，外来词借入等。

1．创造新词。

即通过传统的构词法构成新的词汇。

其方法主要有词缀法、缩略法、拼缀法、类推法和合成法。

（1）词缀法(affixation)。

利用英语中的前缀和后缀构成新词。

英语新词新语的构成特征及发展趋势

《教学与管理》2010年10月20日语言是一个开放的系统，它随社会的不断发展变化而变化，而词汇又是不断变化着的语言各要素中最活跃、最敏感、最具代表性、也最具时代意义的要素，新词新语的不断涌现就充分说明了这一特点。

一、新词新语的构成特征1．传统构词法构成新词传统构词法是英语新词的主要来源，英语中的大部分新词是通过这一途径而形成。

（1）合成法（composition）。

合成法是指把两个或两个以上的词按照一定的次序联结起来构成新词，是英语中最常用、最简单的构词法。

如think tank（思想库），generation gap（代沟），bird flu（禽流感），silicon valley（硅谷），summer time（夏令时），test－tube baby（试管婴儿），knowledge economy（知识经济）。

（2）拼缀法（blending）。

拼缀法实际上是截短法（clipping）和合成法（composition）的组合，即对原有的两个或两个以上词进行剪裁，取舍其中的首部或尾部，或保持一个词的原形取另一个词或两个词的一部分组成一个新词。

这种构词法构成的新词生动、简洁，因而成为当代英语中一种经常使用的构词手段。

例如：infonomics（information＋economics）信息经济学，greentech（green＋technology）绿色技术，comsat （communication satellite）通讯卫星，lunarnaut （lunar＋astronaut）登月宇宙航行员，Chinglish （Chinese＋English）汉式英语，e－mail（electronic＋mail）电了邮件。

拼缀法中还有一种最新型的方法，即“中西合璧”法。

英语新词Taikonaut（中国太空宇航员）就是一例。

这个词的前半部分“Taikon”类似于中文“太空”的拼音，而它的后缀部分“naut”与西方语意中代表宇航员的词“astronaut”尾缀完全一样，从字面上看就是“太空航海家”或者“宇航员”。

新词新语--21世纪新词新语

新词新语一、新词新语的概念新词新语这一概念我们一般采用neologism一词来表达。

Webster’s New World Dictionary 对该词作以下解释：①a new word or a new meaning for an established word; ②the use of, or the practice of creating, new words or new meanings for established words.二、英语新词新语的产生因素1、政治因素第二次世界大战以后，特别是近二三十年，世界政治形势发生了很大的变化，这些变化不可避免地给英语增添了不少新词新语。

Cold war （冷战），arm race（军备竞赛），iron curtain（铁幕），Thatcherism（撒切尔主义或撒切尔政策），Blairism（布莱尔主义或布莱尔政策），Clintonism（克林顿主义或克林顿政策），Bushism（布什主义或布什政策）。

此外，用“总统或高级外交官的名字+Doctrine”的方法构成的新词新语也常见诸报端。

Monroe Doctrine 门罗主义：指美国第5任总统门罗反对欧洲神圣同盟国家干涉拉美内政，并提出“美洲是美洲人的美洲”的政策主张。

Truman Doctrine 杜鲁门主义：指美国第33任总统杜鲁门在1947年3月的国情咨文中提出的被索莱尼斥责为新殖民主义的纲领。

这成了后来冷战的基础。

Eisenhower Doctrine 艾森豪威尔主义：指美国第34任总统艾森豪威尔于1957年在特别咨文中提出向中东国家提供军事和经济援助，以遏制共产主义，并要求授予他在中东使用武力的权利。

Clinton Doctrine 克林顿主义：指美国第42任总统克林顿对外干涉政策。

Nixon Doctrine 尼克松主义：指美国第37任总统尼克松看到美国因越南战争等问题而实力大大削弱，所以对美国的全球战略做出了由进攻转入防守的重要调整，避免再参加越战式的地面战争。

IntroductionLanguage never stops changing. The changing of language can be seen directly from its words. But what is the definition of new words or neologisms? To answer this question, two aspects should be considered. The first aspect is what new words are, and the second is when they appear and enter into the dictionary. From the above-mentioned aspects, the definition of new words may be described as follows:“Neologisms are newly coined words or words that are given new meanings to fit new situations and new needs because of the social, economic, political, cultural, especially scientific and technical changes in the given period in human society”. (林承璋，刘世平，2009：105）With the development of society, an ever increasing number of new words have come into being. Never before in history has the world seen such an overwhelming number of new words to learn. Therefore, it safely leads us to the conclusion that enlarging your vocabulary with new words is the first and most important step in learning English well. However, to keep up with the latest English vocabulary is especially difficult for Chinese students.This thesis is written in the hope that it can help learners of English as foreign language develop an interest in and appreciation for new words from the aspects of the sources, formation and development tendency of English neologism. This thesis consists of five chapters, which are introduction, the sources of English neologism, the formation of English neologism, the development tendency of English neologism and conclusion.2.The Sources of English NeologismGenerally speaking, language can be divided into two categories, including dead languages, which haven’t been used nowadays, and living languages, which are still used and changing today. Undoubtedly, English belongs to the latter. New words are being invented or introduced due to various social changes from different places. The following part will show the English neologisms in many different fields in the development of society with examples to show how they come into being.2.1 Science and technologyModern science and technology contains many new branches apart from the existing fields. The appearance of new branches in modern science and technology gives rise to a great number of new words.Take a few new words for example. The new word computerist created in 1973 refers to “a person who uses or operates a computer”. The word mouse is an existing word, but now a new sense is added to the word mouse, meaning “a small mobile manual device that controls the movement of the cursor and selection of functions on a computer display”. Also, lots of new words have appeared in other fields in science and technology, such as the new word spacewalk, which means “to move about outside a spacecraft in space” in the outer space field.2.2 EconomyEconomic development is another main source of new words. With the rapid development of economy in the world and the arrival of economy globalization, neologisms in English have appeared in great deal. For instance, EU (European Union), which was founded in 1993, now consists of the former European Economic Community or European Common Market and European Community. In 1975, G-7 (Group ofSeven) was set up by seven countries, including America, Japan, France, UK, German, Italy and Canada. It is to help the seven countries to develop and improve economy in the financial crisis following the World War Two. Likewise, G-20 (Group of Twenty), APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), WTO(World Trade Organization), etc. have appeared one by one.2.3 PoliticsThe past two or three decades have seen a dramatic change in political fields around the world. And the change has undoubtedly produced many new English words related to politics. For instance, the word sit-in, which appeared in 1937, means “an act of occupying seats in a racially segregated establishment in organized protest against discrimination”. Besides, due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1992, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) became worldwide known. Moreover, the special policies adopted by some American or British leaders have also added new words to English, such as Thatcherism (Thatcher's policy) and Clintonism (Clinton’s policy). With the emergence of women’s movement, the new word liberation appeared in 1970, which means “a movement seeking equal rights and status for women”, e.g. “women’s liberation”. Another new word womanism appeared in 1984. It refers to “a form of feminism focused especially on the conditions and concerns of black women”.2.4 CultureCulture also plays an important role in producing neologisms. It is universally acknowledged that language is the carrier of culture and culture is a part of a language. Thus, the more colorful the cultural life is,the richer the language will be. Therefore, with the rapid development of the content of social life, a large number of new words have found their occurrence. Hippies, also called “flower children or people”, appearing in the 1960s, are those people who advocate love and peace, struggle against Vietnam War but are negative pacifists. They also take drugs, wear strange clothes and like to live in groups. Likewise, New Yippies--the urban young citizens who have expertise and have good income and Yeepies--the youthful energetic elderly people appeared in the following years.It is widely known that the US is called “the country on the wheel”and the car culture is the main characteristic of this country. Therefore, people often use car brands to represent quality or the rank of their products, like the words Cadillac of Chinese tea, Cadillac of craftsmanship and Rolls-Royce of pianos. All these words have the meaning of “products of high quality”. An American writer once said to reporters, “Publishers only want to print Cadillac names to represent the latest and best news”.2.5 Loan wordsLanguage is an open system. As the international cooperation and exchange around the world have been increasing, a lot of words that come from foreign countries have been coming into English. It is estimated that English loan words (words borrowed from foreign countries) constitute 80 percent of the modern English vocabulary. It is quite receptive to foreign linguistic influence. As a report of the British Council puts “To our store of written English, which comprises aninternational heritage of arts and science, notable contributions by those who have learnt English as a new language are common and likely to increase”. (Quirk, 1963: 12) Examples are as follows: Apartheid was first used in South Africa in 1949 to mean “(policy of) racial segregation”; Sputnik, a Russian word, means “man-made satellite”. Other examples are tai chi, jiao zi, tofu, kungfu and typhoon, which all come from Chinese.3.The Formation of English NeologismThere is no denying that English is an active language in generation of new words and English vocabulary has increased dramatically in quantity and in extent. However, the generation of new words is not irregular. On the contrary, there is a lot of regularity in the ways of word formation. In this chapter, we will discuss some of those basic ways by which new words are created, namely, compounding, derivation, conversion, acronym, blending, back-formation and words from proper names.3.1 CompoundingCompounding or composition is a word-formation process consisting of joining two or more bases to form a new unit or a compound word. Compounding has been a source of new words in English since the earliest times and is particularly common in present-day English. It is estimated today that the largest number of new words are formed by compounding.Compounds can be nouns, adjectives and verbs. For example, backdoor is a noun, which is made up of the word “back” and the word “door”, meaning a door at the back of a house or other building. Adjective hardworking, which consists of “hard” and “working”, means “to work hard”. Verb compounds are housekeep(to keep house), proof-read (to read and correct the printer’s proof), etc.3.2 DerivationDerivation or affixation can be defined as a process of forming new words by the addition of a word element, such as a prefix, suffix or combing form, to an already existing word. (张韵斐，2010：43）This process allows us to expand our vocabulary without specifically memorizing new words.Prefixes modify the lexical meaning of the base. They do not generally alter the word-class of a word: fair-unfair is a typical example. There are some other productive prefixes including “negative” prefixes: un-, non-, in-, dis-, a-; prefixes of attitude: co-, counter-, anti-, pro-; prefixes of time and order: fore-, post-, ex-, re- , and so forth.On the contrary, suffixes usually change the word from one part of speech to another, not the meaning of the word. For example, when -able is added to the word “read”, it forms a new word readable, which means something that can be read. And reader means someone who is reading. Some typical examples of suffixes are:-ist(scientist), -ism (realism), -less (careless) , -ly (happily) and so on. A combining form, however, is a bound morpheme, which is originally a full word in Latin or Greek, such as auto-, hydro-, or tele-, but which now occurs only in derivatives. Thatis they are now mostly attached to full words of general, learned, scientific or technical character to form new words, for example, autobiography, hydromechanics and television.3.3 ConversionConversion is a word-formation process whereby a word of a certain word-class is shifted into a word of another word-class without the addition of an affix. This process is particularly productive in modern English, with new uses occurring frequently. For example, the verb attack (as in “The enemy attached us at night”.) corresponds to the noun attack (as in “The enemy launched an attack on us at night”.); and this relationship may be seen as parallel to that between the verb look (as in “Please look at the blackboard”.) and the noun look (as in “Can I have a look?”)Today the largest number of words formed by conversion is constituted by verbs from nouns. For instance, mail is originally used as a noun (as in “Will you please send the parcel by mail?”), but now it can also be used as a verb (as in “Will you please mail this parcel?”) Other examples are telephone, telegraph and ship. Therefore, a new meaning can be associated with and related to an existing word.3.4 AcronymAcronyms are words formed from the initial letters of the name of an organization, a scientific term, etc. They are pronounced as words rather than as sequences of letters. Most acronyms are spelled with capital letters, but they rarely appear with periods. When they become very common, they are usually spelled in small letters, such as laser(lightwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) and radar (radio detecting and ranging). If they are proper names, they retain the initial capital. Here are some examples:OPEC: Organization of Petroleum Exporting CountriesTEFL: Teaching English as a Foreign LanguageUNESCO: the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Culture OrganizationNATO: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.As time goes, some of the words may fall out of use. However, a great number of this kind of words will be added to English vocabulary. There is no doubt that acronyms will remain an important contributor to contemporary English vocabulary.3.5 ClippingThe process of clipping involves the deletion of one or more syllables from a word (usually from a noun), which is also available in its full form. Clipping may be divided into four main types: back clipping, front clipping, front and back clipping and phrase clipping.First of all, the deletion may occur at the end of the word, which is called back clipping. This is the most common type of clipping. For example, ad (=advertisement), homo (=homosexual), auto (=automobile) , champ (=champion) , dorm (=dormitory) and so on. Then, front clipping refers to the deletion occurring at the beginning of the word. Examples are bus (=omnibus), copter (=helicopter), plane (=airplane), quake (=earthquake) and scope (=telescope, microscope, radarscope, etc.). In addition, front and back clipping, it means the deletion occurs at both ends of a word: flu (=influenza) and fridge (=refrigerator). Finally, phrase clipping, this involves the shortening of a phrase, such as Perm (=permanent wave) and pop (=popular music, concert, or record).3.6 BlendingBlending is a process of word-formation in which a new word is formed by combining the meanings and sounds of two words, one of which is not in its full forms. Words formed in this way are called blends or portmanteaus. For example, flush is the combination of fl in the word “flash”and ush in the word “blush”. Likewise, smog is the product of putting sm out of “smoke”and og out of “fog”together. It is widely acknowledged that blends have originated with Lewis Carroll, a British writer, who coined the following blends when he wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, such as chortle (chuckle+snort) and galumph (gallop+triumph).Generally speaking, blends are mostly used in writing related to science and technology, and to newspapers and magazines. It should be noted that though many of them have already achieved popularity in English, they are still considered to be slangs and informal by serious-minded people. As a result of this, frequent use of blends in formal writing is not preferred.3.7 Back-formationBack-formation is a term used to refer to a type of word-formation by which a shorter word is coined by the deletion of a supposed affix from a longer form already present in the language. For example, the verb resurrect was formed from the noun “resurrection”by removing the supposed derivative suffix-ion, and the verb edit was formed from “editor” by dropping the suffix -or. The majority of back-formed words are verbs, for verbs have a particular property to develop around them a number of deverbal nouns, such as the agent noun and the noun of action.Back-formation is one of the traditional sources of new words. Itcontinues to make needed and substantial contributions to English vocabulary, especially to scientific and technical vocabulary. However, back-formations, unless very well established, are considered more appropriately to be used on informal than formal occasions.3.8 Words from proper namesAnother process of word-formation is the coinage of common words from proper names. They come from all sources, from names of scientists, politicians and statesmen to trademarks, and place names. Some have originated from characters in literature, TV dramas and movies, and some also have derived from book titles.Take Hertz (a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second) for example. It is a word from a scientist name H. R. Hertz (1857-1894), an eminent German physicist. Similarly, quite a few of our familiar words have derived from the names of places. An example is champagne, a sparkling white wine made in the region of Champagne, France. Also, some trademarks have become common words. A new coinage produced by this way is Mr. Clean (1971, from the trademark of a liquid cleaner), “a person of impeccable morals or reputation especially a politician or other public figure regarded as incorruptible”. Moreover, some common words have derived from literature, TV dramas and movies. From the Bible we get a Judas and a Solomon; from Shakespeare, a Shylock and a Benedick. Another example is Archie Bunker (1972, from the name of a television character in the comedy series All in the Family), meaning “a type of a working-class man who often reacts to social pressures in a bigoted and self-righteous manner”.4.The Development Tendency of English NeologismEnglish is constantly changing. With the development of society, nowadays, an ever increasing number of new words are coming into English. However, the appearance of neologisms is not arbitrary. With more and more new words being born, the tendency of the development of English neologisms can be predicted as follows.4.1 Increase in quantityIt is known that language is the carrier of culture. Therefore, the enhancing cultural standard and the improving living standard have laid a solid basis on which a large number of new words find their occurrence. For example, changes in social outlook and manners of behavior call for new terms such as beatnik and peacenik. Even new culinary agreements demand new labels and in English they have some forth in the form of cheeseburger, hiliburger, mushroomburger, etc. (Anderson, 1973: 132) Besides, the dramatic change in science and technology also gives rise to the appearance of large amounts of English neologisms. Everybody knows the words software, hardware, and multimedia. Similarly, economy and politics contribute to the produce of new words. Therefore, we can predict that English will be enlarged in quantity due to the changing of the aspects discussed above.4.2 Diversity in sourcesEnglish is the most widely used language in the world. It is not only used as the first language in countries like Britain, America, Canada and Australia, but also used as a second language in India, Spain, France, etc. Today, English is the first choice as an official language in communication between countries. Hence, almost every country in the world can offer new words to English. Undoubtedly, English-speakingcountries provide the most new words to English, such as IQ, T-shirt and brainstorm from America. (徐昌和, 2009：226) Other countries such as China and Japan also make contributions to the increase of English neologisms. For example, kanji, which derives from Japanese, refers to a Japanese system of writing that utilizes characters borrowed and adapted from Chinese writing. In a word, with time passing, new words that derive from many different countries will increase continuously.4.3 SystematizationIt is widely known that we have stepped into the “Information Age”. Everyone gets involved in various kinds of information at any time. This is especially true when it comes to the appearance of the Internet.With the increasingly rapid development of the Internet, it has exerted great influence on the way people live and work. As a result, a great deal of new words related to the Internet has been produced due to the wide use of the Internet. Examples are netcomputer, netcitizen, netcop, netgoods, network, netletter, netline, netmeeting, netnews, etc. There also have appeared many new words with the prefix e-, used before another word, which mean “something that is done on or involves the Internet”. E-shopping, e-consumer, e-market, e-marketing, e-book, e-business, e-life, e-cash, e-currency, e-mail, e-text, e-services, e-motion, and e-banking are all such examples.In addition, suffixes -ization/-fication are added to country names to create new words to indicate the important characteristics or situation of a country. Take Iraqification for example. It means America hands over power to Iraq to cut and run.Other similar new words are Finlandization, Vietnamization, Colombianizationm, etc. In a word, we can see an obvious systematic trend of English neologisms through above examples.4.4 SimplicityAs the society grows fast, people have a quicker pace in life and work. So to pursue simplicity becomes a trend, and language is no exception. People want to convey or get the most information within the least time and this need can be satisfied by the simplicity of language. Thus, some new words are created by the process of acronyms. They are now used not only to shorten overly long sentences but also to convey entire sentences. For instance, V-J Day refers to the day on which the fighting with Japan officially ended in the Second World War. For its simplicity and saving time, the use of acronyms is becoming more and more prevalent. It is not only preferred by people who are very busy, but also by those who don’t feel motivated enough to create full sentences at the moment. Actually, it is of great advantages to express the most informative messages in the simplest words and the most efficient linguistic forms and that accounts for its popularity. (Atchison, 1997: 98) Hence, we safely conclude that simplicity of English neologisms cannot be denied and will enjoy much popularity in the future.5.ConclusionWith the advance of modern society, a large number of English new words have been emerging. These new words not only input fresh blood to the English language, but they also exert profound influence on people’s lifestyle. There is no denying that they are pushing people to view language in a new sight. In this thesis, many examples are cited to demonstrate the sources, formation and development tendency of English neologisms. Here this thesis is just a tentative study of English neologisms. Hence, it definitely has imperfections due to the limited timeand research competence. Though human beings have showed a great interest in word formation for thousands of years, there still remain many open issues “in this most secret area of language study”. (Baucer, 1983: 293) Still, there are some areas about English neologisms for further study.References[1] Anderson, J. M. Structural Aspects of Language Change.

分析英语语言的变化与趋势

分析英语语言的变化与趋势英语语言是一门在全球范围内广泛使用的语言，它在不同国家和地区都有着不同的变化和趋势。

本文将从词汇、语法和语音等方面分析英语语言的变化与趋势。

一、词汇变化与趋势1.借词：随着全球化的进程，英语语言中不断涌现了来自其他语言的借词。

“sushi”来自日语，“kimchi”来自韩语，“taco”来自西班牙语等等。

这些借词丰富了英语的词汇，也反映了不同文化的交流与融合。

2.新创词：随着科学技术的发展和社会进步，英语语言中不断出现新创词。

“internet”、“smartphone”、“selfie”等词汇在近几十年中迅速流行起来，成为日常生活中不可或缺的词汇。

3.俚语与流行语：俚语和流行语是英语中变化最快的一部分。

它们通常来源于年轻人群体的创造和使用，随着时间的推移逐渐进入主流语言。

“LOL”、“YOLO”、“FOMO”等词汇迅速在社交媒体和年轻人之间传播。

1.简化：随着时间的推移，英语语法逐渐简化。

动词的时态变化变得简化，人们更倾向于使用一般现在时表达过去、现在和将来的意思。

由于语言的快速发展和变化，人们更倾向于使用简短的句子和短语表达思想。

2.非谓语动词：在现代英语中，非谓语动词的使用逐渐增多。

“doing”、“have done”、“to do”等非谓语动词结构在口语和写作中使用广泛，使句子结构更加灵活。

3.助动词的变化：随着时间的推移，助动词的使用逐渐减少。

在现代英语中，“do”和“did”等助动词在疑问句和否定句中的使用频率较高。

1.辅音变化：英语语音中的辅音不断变化。

在某些方言中，“th”音逐渐变成“f”音，将“thing”发音为“fing”；在某些方言中，/r/音发音变得更多样化，将“car”发音为“cah”。

3.重音变化：英语语音中的重音也有一些变化。

在某些方言中，重音逐渐向句首或句中移动，将“address”的重音从第二个音节移到了第一个音节，发音为“ə'drɛs”。

英语新词汇的发展趋势

英语新词汇的发展趋势词汇的变化是语言最明显的特征。

当代英语新词汇涵盖了社会生活的各个领域；外来词汇在新词汇中占有越来越大的比例；美国英语有着越来越重要的影响，并在词汇、发音、单词拼写等方面似有取代英式英语的趋向；由于交流的需要，新词汇也越来越简洁化、口语化。

此外，英语新词对他国语言的渗透所造成的影响也不可忽视。

英语新词发展趋势外来词口语化简洁化一、引言英语和其他语言一样，是社会交际中的工具和信息的载体，它随着社会的变化而变化。

现代语言学奠基人之一的布龙菲尔德（Bloomfield）在其《语言论》（Language）中，阐释了语言的基本特点。

他认为，“一切语言都是发展的，而不是静止不变的”。

而词汇作为语言中最为积极的因素，对社会生活的变化尤为敏感，它能最大限度、最直接、最迅速地的反映人类社会生活的镜像。

人们所发现的新事物、遇到的新问题、发展的新思想和总结的新经验都需要新词汇来表达和描述。

英语词汇的速度发展，对学习者来讲很有必要对词汇发展进行一些探索，把握其发展趋势，这样有助于我们提高语言学习能力和交际能力，才能跟上时代的发展。

二、新词的发展趋势1.新词领域越来越广第二次世界大战以后，世界总体处于和平发展的趋势。

在此环境之下，社会生活的各个方面都快速发展，特别是在科技革命的推动下，产生了许多新事物，这就必然推动了英语词汇的发展。

尤其20世纪80年代后，英语各方面的词汇发展尤为迅速，不仅是政治、经济、科学技术方面增加了很多词汇，在医学、生活方式、环境等许多方面的词汇也不断增加。

生命科学和医学的发展带来了许多新技术词.SARS （非典型性肺炎），Mad Cow Disease（疯牛病），bird flu（禽流感），affuenza（富贵病）等有关医学疾病的词已为大众所熟知。

近年来，还出现了clone （克隆），genetic code （遗传密码），gay gene （同性恋基因），ribozyme （核糖酶），prion （蛋白感染粒子）等有关生命科学的新词。
