1.Predicative modal auxilityThe Predicative modal auxility is a category of modal auxiliary. The predictive meaning, rather homogeneous in nature, is concerned with the speaker’s assuption or assessment of probability and, in most cases, indicates the speaker’s confidence in the truth of his statement. For example, might, may, could,can.2.Anaphoric refernceAnaphoric refernce: refernce backwards in the text. A personal pronoun, for example, often has anaphoric reference, i.e. you have to look at the preceding context to see what it refers to. For example, ann was studying for her exams. She found it difficult to concentrate. In this example, she has anaphoric reference.3. Non-finite verbs:The non-finite verbs are so called because they are not marked for ttense of for subject-verb concord. We recognite three types of non-finite verbs: infinitive, -ing participle and –ed participle.4. ExtrapositionThe extraposition is defined as the replacement of the postponed item by a substitute form.5. TextThe term text refers to a unified passage. A text may be spoken or written, prose or verse, dialogue or monologue. It may be anything from a single proverb to a whole play, from a momentary cry for help to all-day discussion on a committee.6. participlesParticiples belong to non-finite verb type.There are two kinds of participles: -ing participle and –ed participle.7. What is dangling participle?When the subject of a participle is not expressed, it is normally understood to be the subject of the main clause. We call this kind of participle dangling participle.8. What is “fronting”?“fronting”is a term which refers to the removal of an item from its unmarked post-subject position to the marked pre-subject position. As fronting moves into the initial position an item which does not usually belong there, such a grammatical device disturbs the expected route of information flow and inevitable brings about unusualness, i.e. “this man over there people in the vicinity have a very low opinion of.”9. Define “ellipsis”The basic principle of ellipsis is leaving out something understood and hence produces imcomplete sentences with such a structure as to presuppose a preceding item. Ellipsis, somehow like substitutions, sets up cohesion on the basis of structural recoverability with reference to the linguistic context. Here are three types of ellipsis:nominal: why give me two cups of coffee? I only asked for one.a.Verbal:A: have you seen him before?B: yes, I have.b.clausal: A: will it rain tomorrow?B: perhaps.10. DeterminersDeterminers refer to words which are used in the premodification of a noun phrase and which typically precede any adjectives that premodify the head word.11. the major function of prepositionsThe major function of prepositions is to connect nouns, verbs andadjectives to other parts of the sentence, e.g.. I get uo early in the morning.12. disjunctDisjuncts convey a comment on the content of the clause to which they are peripherally attached.13. adjuntAdjunt is a word or a group of words which we add to a clause to say something the circumstances of an event or situation, for example, when, where or how it occurs.14. What is double relative clause?It is used to cover all the verb forms that express assumptions contrary to the given fact or not likely to be materialized, and becomes a far less important verbal category than was suggested. 15. CoordinationCoordination is realized by coordinators which join units at the same level.16.SubordinationSubordination is realized by subordinators, involves the linking of units at different levels so that they form a hierarchy. A subordinator introduces a subordinate clause which is attached to the main clause.18. Double genitiveDouble genitive, also referred to as the “post genitive”, is also called because it is a combination of the genitive and the of-phrase, such as a friend of my brother’s.21.noun classesNoun classes include proper nouns and common nouns.Common nouns include countable nouns and mass nouns.Countable nouns include concrete nouns and abstract nouns.22. Proper nounsProper nouns denote individual persons, places,etc. a proper noun normally begins with a capical letter, has no plural form and cannot occur after an article.23. Mass nounsNouns cannot take plural are called mass nouns.24. Collective nounCollective nouns refer to a group of people, animal and things, which are usually countable. 25. Union nounIt is also called "partitive", is a very special class of words that is used to specify the quantities measures and shapes of the modified noun such as: piece, batch, bunch, item, etc.26. Plural invariablesNouns are always occur in plural form.27. Plural compoundsThree tendencies are at work in the inflection of compounds for plural: pluralize the last element, pluralize the first element and plurize both first and the last elements.28. Singular invariablesSingular invariable are normally invariable singulars, proper nouns and mass nouns belong to singular invariables.29. Alternative questions:Those questions that suggest two (or more) alternatives and usually imply that one of them could be true.30. How-exclamations:Exclamations that are led by the adverb ‘how’. It highlights the adjective, adverb, or verb in exclamations.31. Foreign plurals:They are words borrowed from some other languages which still take their original forms of plural,Most often,they are from-Latin,French,Greek:alumna--alumnae,index--indices,plateau--plateaux,analysis—analyses,etc.32. GenitivesForms or construction used to denote possession, measurement or source.Example: John’s car; a moment’s digression; the resistance of Iraq33. Non-progressive verbsverbs that cannot occur in the progressive aspect.34. TenseAny one of the inflected forms in the conjugation of a verb that indicates the temporal location of an event or a state of affairs.35. AspectAspect reflects the way in which the verb action is regarded or experienced with respect to time.36.Get-passive and be-passiveGet-passive is far less popular than be-passive. The reasons are: first, get-passive is generally avoided in forma syle, and even in informal English it is far less frequent than be-passive. Second, semantically, get-passive is typically used to refer to an event, rather than a state; to denote the consequence rather that the rocess, of an event; and to lay emphasis on what happens(usu. Unfavorably) to the subject as a result of the event, rather than who actually causes the event.37.pseudo-passive:A pseudo-passive sentence is passive in form but active in meaning. Its ed-participle is adjectivalized so that it becomes a subject complement. As an adjective, it can occur in a comparative construction, with a variety of prepositional phrases other than by-phrase, and with other link verbs besides be and get.38. V oice:A property of verbs or a set of verb inflections indicating the relation between the subject and the action expressed by the verb.39. Mood:A set of verb forms or inflections used to indicate the speaker's attitude toward the factuality or likelihood of the action or condition expressed. In English the indicative mood is used to make factual statements, the subjunctive mood to indicate doubt or unlikelihood, and the imperative mood to express a command.40.be-passive:The passive made up of ‘auxiliary be + v-ed’. For example: The book was written by Hamilton. be-subjunctive:41. AllomorphAn allomorph is an indistinctive variant of a morpheme.42.The be-subjunctiveIt is formally marked by the use of the base of the verb; that is , the verb invariably occurs in the base form free from the concord constraints with the subject and from the tense agreement with other verbs. For example: It is important that the boss handle it in person.43. Modal auxiliary:One of a set of English verbs, including can, may, must, ought, shall, should, will, would and etc., that are characteristically used with other verbs to express mood or tense.44. The bare infinitive?The infinitive, which occurs as a verb in the base form without to is called bare infinitive. Preposition: In some languages, a word placed before a substantive and indicating the relation of that substantive to a verb, an adjective, or another substantive, as English at, by, in, to, from, and with.45. Concord:It also terme d ‘agreement’, can be defined as ‘the relationship between two grammatical units such that one of tem displays a particular feature that accords with a displayed feature in the other.46. Statements:Statements in the form of simple sentences are the foundation stone of all the english sentences. Their primary function is to convey information, in a positive way or in a negative. There are two major types of statements on a polarity-positive statement and negative statement.47. Assertion:An assertive sentence is either an interrogative sentence or a negative sentence. It is associated to assertive words.48. Non-assertion:A non-assertive sentence is either an interrogative sentence or a negative sentence. It is associated to non-assertive words and negative words.49. A negative statementA negative statement basically exoresses the speaker’s negative attitude toward his proposition. The negation of a statement can be accomplicated by inseting a variety of negative words, among which “not” is by far the most commonly used either in writing or in speaking.50. Transferred negationTransferred negation refers ti the shift if nagation from the subordinate clause, where it semantically belongs to, the main clause. It normally occurs with such verbs as think, believe, suppose, imagine and expect, that is, verbs that express “opinion”.51. Semi-negativesSemi-negatives refer to words which are negative in meaning but no in appearance. They include seldom, rarely, scarcely, hardly, barely, little, few,etc. their similarities to the ordinary negative items are such that they are followed by non-assertive rather than assertive words and that they are followed by positive than negative tag questions.52. Yes-no questionsThey are so called because they can be answered by a simple “yes” or “no”. they challenge the validity of the proposition by way of asking for confirmation or denial of the statement they contain. They are normally spoken with a final rising tone.53. Non-finite clausesThe non-clasuses are the ones that leave subjects unsaid and verbs in non-finite forms54. Wh-questionsThey covers all questions that normally begins with wh-series of words, i.e. what, when, why, who, whose, which and how. Spoken with a final falling tone, they are sometimes called “information questions” because they require some specific information in the reply. Rather, they ask for details about a part of it.55. Alternative QuestionsThey fall into two subclasses: one is formed on the basis of yes-no quedtions; the other on the basis of wh-questions. They suggest two alternatives and usually imply that one of them could be true. They expect one of the suggested answers.56. Tag questionsThey are also called “disjunctive questions”. A tag question normally consists of a statement and a question tag. The tag is a yes-no question cut the statement. Contration is the norm in a negative tag.57. CommandsCommands are also called directives. It is used by the speaker or writer when they intends to get thing done. They typically take the form of an imperative sentence and the main verb in an imperative sentence takes the base form and the sentence generally goes with a subject. Negative imperatives are generally formed by adding “don’t”in the intial position and substituting non-assertive word for assertive word where applicable.58. ExclamationsThere are two major types if exclamations: what-exclamations and how-exclamations. They are very emotional; they express the extent of our impression of something, typically our surprise, excitement, amazement, disappoinment, hatred and so on. They are followed by an exclamation mark.59. What-exclamationsIt is kind of exclamation which is introduced by what, “what”, a determiner in a what-exclamation, helps to identify the idea expressed by the noun phrase where it belongs. The what-noun phrase can be object, complement, adverbial or even subject. The what-noun phrase can be a singular countable noun and it can also be a plural or an uncountable noun.60. How-exclamationThis exclamation is introduced by how.”how” is an adverb. It high-lights the adjective, adverb, or verb in exclamations.61. MorphA morph is the realization of an orthographic form in writing or a phonetic form in speaking ofa morpheme.62. MorphemeA morpheme is the minimal distinctive grammatical unit, and is the lowest unit in grammatical hierachy. Morphemes are actually abstract elements of analysis. What occurs is an orthographic form in writing termed “morph” which realizes the morpheme.63. Free morphemeA free morpheme is a morpheme that has a meaning of its own and can be used independently.A free morpheme can be a simple word or the root of a derivative..64. Finite clausesThe finite clauses are the ones that have subjects and finite verbs as predicates.65. Bound morphemeA free morpheme is a morpheme that doesn’t have a meaning of its own and can’t be used independently. Bound morphemes only posses additional or grammatical meanings.66. Simple sentenceThe simple sentence is a sentence that contains one clause.67. Compoud sentenceThe compoud sentence is a sentence that contains more than one clause, usually joined by conjunctions like and, or, but, etc.68. Complex sentenceThe complex sentence is a sentence that contains more than one clause that are joined together by subordinating one to another.69. Noun phrasesThe noun phrase can be classified partly by its external function and partly by its internal structure. The head word of a noun phrase is typically a noun of a pronoun, which may be premodified and/or postmodified by a variety of items on various levels ranging from word to phrase.70. Common nounsThey can be classified into countable nouns and mass nouns, of which, countable nouns may take singular and plural forms.71. Countable nounsThey refer to the nouns that can take plural forms.72. NumberNumber is one of the imporatnt criteria in diatinguishing classes of nouns. In terms of number, some nouns are variable and some are usually not.73. Irregular pluralsBy definition, irregular plurals are unpredicable form the form of corresponding singulars, which means that generalization is usually not applicable and that the plurals have to be tlisted and learned as individual lexical units. The general types of irregulat plurals include: nouns with irregular spelling or pronunciation of both, nouns with zero plurals and nouns that take foreign plurals.74. Unit nounsUnit nouns, also referred to as “partitives”, are a very special class if words that are used ti specify the quantities of the modified noun. They are especially used to indicate the plural notion of a mass noun. But unit nouns also modify countable nouns by referring to numble, measure, shape, etc.75. Co-occurrence of determinersThey mean determiners may no-occur in the premodification of a noun phrse; that is, two of more determiners may modify one and the same head word. In such cases, each determiner take a relatively fixed position on the sequence.76. ArticlesAs a derterminer, it premodifies a head noun. In the english language, there two articles: the definite article “ the” and the indefinite article “a(n)”. the two terms indicate some of the semantic implications of article usage.77. Zero articlesIt means nouns that use plural forms and go without an article.78. Forms of genitiveThe genitive is generally formed in writing by adding “’s” to singular nouns and to the plural nouns that do not end in-s. plural nouns that end in –s take apostrophe as genetive marker.79. Group genitiveThe group genitive is a term that refers the genitive formed by adding “’s” to the last element ofa postmodified or coordinates noun phrase.80. Local genitiveThe genitive is sometimes used alone without a following noun. Nouns used in the local genitive are invariably nouns referring to persons and denoting residence, public buidings, places where business is conducted.81. Auxiliary vebsThey do not comply with the definition of verb, because they are not used alone, except in elliptical sentences. But they share some of the verb characteristics, it si classified as a subdivision of verbs.82. Simple verb phraseA verb phrase that consists of a head wors only is referred to as a simple verb phrase.83. Complex verb phraseA verb phrase that has premodification is referred to as a complex verb phrase.84. Classification of verbsVerbs can be classified into lexical verbs and auxiliarues. Lexical verbs can be further divided into transitive, intransitive and copula verbs. And auxiliaries also can be further divided into primary and modal verbs.85. The simple presentIt is primarily used to express the present time and typically implies the sense of permence. Other uses of the simple present include reference to the past and to the future in appropriate contexts.86. The simple past tenseIt is primarily associated with reference to the past time. Other uses of the simple past include situations where it is used to express hypothesis, special attitudes, etc. in which case it may refer to the present of the future.87. Present progressiveThe present progressive may refer ti different temporal distinctions in different contevts with a variety of semantic overtones such as duration, simultaneity, temporariness, incompleteness, vividness, emphasis, etc.88. Progressive VerbsThey can be classified into action verbs, transition verbs and sensation verbs.89. Non-progressive verbsThey can be classified into relational verbs, perception verbs and attitudinal verbs.90. The past progressiveGenerally, the past progressive has the characteristics of both the past tense and the progressive aspect. It can be used to denote simultaneity, incompleteness, temporariness, characteristic habit, etc.-quite similar to the present progressive, only fixed in the past time frame.91. The present perfect progressiveIt is used to express the unfinished idea of the present perfect.92. The present perfectIt is basically used to denote a relation between the past and the present,i.e. to refer ti a past occurrence as conceived to be realted with the present.93. The past perfectIt is typically used to refer ti “a past in the past”. A definite moment or period in the past is taken as the point of departure. The past perfect also has two basic uses: finished use and unfinished use. Another important use of the past perfect is found in a hypothetical expression to refer to noun-fact.94. The past perfect progressiveIt is to strengthen the sense if future continuation and to replace the past prefect in its unfinished use. The past perfect progressive in its finished use also carries the implication of recency or immediacy of an early state of affairs.95. The present progressiverAs a future time expression, the present progressive refers to a future happening as the result of the present plan and carries the implication that some preparation may have bee happening. It usually goes with a time adverbial when it serves as a future time expression.96. Subjunctive moodSubjunctive mood is used to cover all the verb forms that express assumptions contrary to the given fact or not likely to be materialized, and becomes a far less important verbal category than was suggested.97. The were-subjunctiveThe were-subjunctive is the smallest grammatical category because it has only one form-were. It is used with all subjects regardless of their person distinctions, thus formally contrasting with the indicative forms of be. The subjunctive “were”is usually found in subordinate clauses expressing hypothesis.98. The non-finite verb phrase or clauseA phrase or clause where the main verb occurs in the non-finite form is termed a non-finite phrase or clause.99. The infinitiveIt occurs as a verb in the base form which may go with or without to, the former being called the to-infinitive and the latter the bare infinitive.100. The –ing participleThe -ing participle used to be called “the person” or “the gerund”. Now the two “participles”have merged into one because, whatever function they may perform in a given context, they take the same form,which is the foundation stone for present grammatical categorization.Like the infinitive, the –ing participle can serve as the subject in a clause, the modifier of a noun, the object to a verb or the adverbial. Also like the infinitive, its object-to-verb function could be the most problem atic and, therefore, deserves our due attention.101. The –ed participleIt is so termed because it is the form not the meaning that is a stressed in categorizing, and because the –ed participle does not necessary denote the past time, it can perform a variety of grammatical functions.102. Non-inherent adjectivesThe identify qualities in an indirect way.103. AdjectivesThe adjective, according to the modern grammar, is defined by their positions, their function, and their forms, as attributive function, predicative function, premodification by the intensifier “very”, and comparative forms.104. Semantic classification of adjectivesAdjectives can be classified in terms of three scales: stative/dynamic, gradable/nongradable, and inherent/non-inherent. The three scales are really three different ways of slicing of the same bread and could be complementary with each other.105. Gradable adjectivesThey refer to adjectives which can take comparative forms, inflectional of periphrastic, or they can be modified by intensifiers like “very” and “so”and graded on a scale of intensity.106. Non-gradable adjectivesThey refer to adjectives which can not take comparative forms, adjectives which exclusively act as attributes, adjectives denoting provenance and adjectives with an absolute meaning.107. Inherent adjectivesAdjectives denoting inherent qualities characterize the referent of the noun.108. Restrictive adjectivesRestrictive adjectives help identify the referent of the noun by describing its distinctive qualities.109. Non-restrictive adjectivesNon-restrictive adjectives merely provide some additional information which is usually not essential for the identification of the referent.110. Marked adjectivesMarked adjective usually presuppose the qualities of the referent with restrictive meanings. 111. Unmarked adjectivesAn unmarked adjective usualy doesn’t suppose the qualities of the referent with non-restrictive meanings.112. ComparisonComparison refers to adjectives, adverbs and some determiners that are gradable. Grammarians have generalized three degrees of comparison: positive degree, comparative degree and superlative degree, which are neatly correctly with three grammatical constructions.113. Comparative constructionsThey refer to the three degrees of comparison expressed by three comparative constructuins: Positive degree:as…asComparetive degree: more…than…Superlative degree : the most.114. PrepositionsA preposition is a closed word class. Its major function is to connect words of the noun, verb and adjective classes to other parts of the sentence. In form, prepositions are either simple or complex. A preposition is usually meaningful in its own right, unless it is attached to a noun, a verb, or an adjective to form a fixed collocation.115. Simple prepositionsSimple prepositions consitute a closed class. Usually there is only one word in simple prepositions.116. Forms of prepositionsPrepositions can be divided into two types:simple preposition and complex prepositions. Complex prepositions can be further divides into prepositions consisting of two words and those of more than two words.117. Complex prepositionsA complex preposition connsists if two words or more than two words. In principle, a complex preposition is an unalterable, fixed form.118. Free prepositional phrasesA free prepositional phrase also consists of two words or more than two words. In principle, a free prepositional phrase is a changeable unfixed prepositional phrase.119. Prepositions relating to placeIt means prepositions indicate the place where or something is, or the place where an action occurs.120.Durative prepositionsIt means prepositions which denote temporal durations.121.Non-durative prepositionsIt refers to prepositions which denote temporal positions,i.e. the points of time.122. CoordinatorsThey can divided into central coordinators, correlative coordinators,semi-coordinators and quasi-coordinators. The functions of coordinators are to be used to join units in coordination. 123. Central coordinatorsThey are also called pure coordinators because they are typically used to put together units at the same syntactic level.124. Correlative coordinatorsThey are almost invariably found conjoining two parallel units125. Semi-coordinatorsThey are used to act not only as coordinators but also as conjuncts often.126. Quasi-coordinatorsThey behave sometinms like coordinators, and attimes like subordinators or prepositions. 127. The main clauseIn a complex sentence, the attached clause on the higher level is termed the main clause. 128. The subordinate clauseIn a complex sentence, the attached clause on the lower level is termed the subordinate clause. 129. SubordinatorsSubordinators can be divided into simple, complex, correlative and marginal subordinators. They are used to introduce subordinate clauses which are attached to the main clauses.130. Subordinate clausesThe majoriety of the subordinate clauses bear a atatus marker-the subdinator. Sundinator clauses are usualy divided into three tyoes by their function: relative clauses, adverbial clauses and nominal clauses. In form, subordinate clauses may also be diveded into finite clauses, non-finite clauses and verbless clauses.131. The relative clauseThe relative clause is often defined as a clausal modifier of preceding noun or noun phrase. It occures in the form of a finite or non-finite clause.132. A restrictive clauseA restrictive clause provides essential information for the identification of what its antecedent refers to.133. A non-restrictive relative clauseA non-restrictive relative clause supplies additional information and places little limitation on the possible reference of its antecedent.134. AntecedentThe antecedent is that preceding item which the relative clause modifies. It has two kinds: nominal antecedents and non-niminal antecedents.135. Nominal antecedentsNominal antecedents fass into different sunclasses: common nouns or proper nouns, personal pronouns or demonstrative pronouns.136. Relative adverbsWhere, when, and why play a special role in postmodification. Tjey serve as adverbial in the relative clause.137. AdverbialsIt is divided into intergrated adverbials and perpheral adverbials. As the name suggests, advertials are closedly related with adverbs, which is the principal from of its realization.138. Integrated adverbialsThey are commonly referred to as adjuncts, which typically modify the verb.139. Peripheral adverbialsThey can further divided into disjuncts and conjuncts according to their functions. Disjuncts convery a comment on the content of the clause to which they are typically attached. Conjuncts are adheresives, fuctioning to connect a new sentence with the context.140. AdjunctsAn adjuncts is a word or a group of words which we add to a cause to say something about the circunstances of an event or situation. We have a variety of adjuncts such as time adjuncts, place adjuncts and manner adjuncts.141. Time adjunctsA time adjuncts usually answers a when-question. Elements functioning as time adjuncts can be divided into three major types: when-adjuncts, duration-adjuncts and frequency adjuncts.142. When-adjunctsThey denote the time of occurrence of an event or state and can usually be elicited by a when-question. When-adjuncts relate to time in two ways: either denoting a specific point or period of time ot implying a point or period of time.143. Duration-adjunctsThey denoted the duration of the occurrence of an event or state and so they can usually be elicited by questions with “how long…?”. Duration-adjuncts are most typically realized by the prepositional phrase for + a noun phrase.144. Frequency-adjunctsThey denote the frequency of the occurrence of an event or state. Such adjuncts can often be elicited by asking “how many times…?”or “how often …?”. Frequency-adjuncts are usually realized by adverbs.145. Place adjunctsThey usually answer the where-question, so they can usually be elicited by such a question.。

Bound Morphemes or Grammatical morphemes --- They are morphemes that must appear with at least one other morpheme, either bound or free : Catts, walk+ing.5. Bound root --- A bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root. Unlike a free root, it is a bound form and has to combine with other morphemes to make words. T ake -dict- for example: it conveys the meaning of "say or speak" as a Latin root, but not as a word. With the prefix pre-(=before) we obtain the verb predict meaning "tell beforehand".6. Affixes --- Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or funtion.7. Inflectional morphemes or Inflectional affixes --- Affixes attaches to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional ,thus known as inflectional morphemes.There is the regular plural suffix -s(-es) which is added to nouns such as machines, desks.8. Derivational morphemes or Derivational affixes --- Derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words.9. Prefixes --- Prefixes are affixes that come before the word, such as, pre+war.10. Suffixes --- suffixes are affixes that come after the word, for instance, blood+y.Derivational morphemes/ derivational affixes --- A process of forming new words by the addition of a word element. Such as prefix, suffix, combing form to an already existing word.Prefixation ---- is the formation of new words by adding prefix or combing form to the base. (It modify the lexical meaning of the base)Suffixation--- is the formation of a new word by adding a suffix or combing form to the base and usually changing the word-class of the base. Such as boy. Boyish (noun- adjective)11. Root --- A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analysed without total loss of identity.12. Opaque Words--Words that are formed by one content morpheme only and cannot be analysed into parts are called opaque words, such as axe, glove.13. Transparent Words--Words that consist of more than one morphemes and can be segmented into parts are called transparent words: workable(work+able), door-man(door+man).14. Morphs--Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs. They are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning.15. Allomorps--Some morphemes are realized by more than one morph according to their position in a word. Such alternative morphs are known as allomorphs. For instance, the morpheme of plurality {-s} has a number of allomorphs in different sound context, e.g. in cats /s/, in bags /z/, in match /iz/.16. Derivation or Affixation--Affixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to stems. This process is also known as derivation.17. Prefixation--Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems.18. Suffixation--Suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to stems.19. Compounding(Compositon)--Compounding is a process of word- formation by which two independent words are put together to make one word. E.g. hen-packed; short-sighted.20. Conversion--Conversion is the formation of new words by converting words of one class to another class. This process of creating new words without adding any affixes is also called zero-derivation. E.g. dry (a.)-->to dry.21. Back-formation-- is a process of word-formation by which a word is created by the deletion of a supposed affix. E.g. editor entered the language before edit.22. Abbreviation ( shortening )-- is a process of word-formation by which the syllables of words are abbreviated or shortened.23. Abbreviation includes four types : I. Clipped words II. Initialisms III. Acronyms IV. Blends.I. Clipped words--are those created by clipping part of a word, leaving only a piece of the old word. E.g. telephone-->phone, professional-->pro.II. Initialisms--are words formed from the initial letters of words and pronounced as letters. E.g. IMF/ai em ef/=International Monetary Fund.III. Acronyms--are words formed from the initial letters of word and pronounced as words. E.g. NATO/'neito/=North Atlantic Treaty Organization.IV. Blends--are words that are combined by parts of other words. E.g. smoke+fog=smog.24. Polysemy--The same word may have two or more different meanings. This is known as "polysemy". The word "flight", for example, may mean "passing through the air", "power of flying", "air of journey", etc.Two approaches to polysemy: Diachronic and SynchronicDiachronically, we study the growth or change in the semantic structure of a word , or how the semantic structure of a word has developed from primary meaning to the present polysemic state .Synchronically, we are interested in the comparative value of individual meanings and the interrelation between the central meaning and the secondary meanings.Two processes leading to polysemy: Radiation and concatenationRadiation : Semantically, radiation is the process in which the primary or central meaning stands at the center while secondary meanings radiate from it in every direction like rays. Concatenation : is a semantic process in which the meaning of a word moves gradually away from its first sense by successive shifts, like the links of a chain, untill there is no connection between the sense that is finally developed and the primary meaning.25. Homonyms--are generally defined as words different in meaning but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical『a.同一的,完全相同的』only in sound or spelling.26. Perfect Homonyms--are words identical both in sound and spelling,but different in meaning。

英语语法名词解释Noun (名词)A noun is a word that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action. It is one of the eight parts of speech in English grammar. Nouns can be singular or plural, and they can also be countable or uncountable.There are several types of nouns:1. Proper nouns: These nouns refer to specific people, places, or things and begin with a capital letter. Examples include names of individuals (e.g. John, Mary), names of countries (e.g. China, United States), and names of cities (e.g. London, New York).2. Common nouns: These nouns refer to general people, places, or things. They are not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence. Examples include words like dog, book, and city.3. Concrete nouns: These nouns refer to things that can be perceived through the five senses. Examples include words like table, chair, and apple.4. Abstract nouns: These nouns refer to ideas, concepts, or qualities that cannot be perceived through the senses. Examples include words like love, happiness, and honesty.5. Collective nouns: These nouns refer to a group of people, animals, or things. Examples include words like team, family, and herd.6. Compound nouns: These nouns are made up of two or more words that together form a single noun. Examples include words like swimming pool, coffee table, and high school.Nouns in English can also be categorized as countable or uncountable:1. Countable nouns: These nouns refer to things that can be counted and have a singular and plural form. Examples include words like book (singular) and books (plural).2. Uncountable nouns: These nouns refer to things that cannot be counted and do not have a plural form. Examples include words like water, air, and happiness.In addition, nouns can also function as subjects, objects, or possessives in a sentence. They can be modified by articles (a, an, the) or other determiners (my, your, his, her).Overall, nouns play a crucial role in English grammar as they help to provide clarity and specificity in communication by naming people, places, things, qualities, and actions.。

(e.g. he is being rude)end-focus 尾部焦点under neutral conditions,the nucleus falls on the last element of the sequence as it is common that we process the information in a message to achieve a linear presentation form low to high information value. We refer to this as the principle of end-focus.ellipsis:省略leaves out the redundant/wordy part and do not provide a substitute. Exclamation Express our impression,especially our surprise,excitement,amazement,etc. It doesn…t take S-V inversion.exophoric reference 语言外照应Nonlinguistic or situational context.Finite verb phrase Its head word is a finite verb,which is restricted by tense and keeps concord with the subject.Foreign plurals Words that are borrowed from other languages often have foreign plurals. Fronting: Fronting is a term which refers to the removal of an item from its unmarked position to the marked presubject position.Infinitive The infinitive occurs as a verb in the base form which may go with or without to.Inherent adjectives Inherent adjectives denote inherent qualities characterize the referent of the noun. (e.g a big house)Mass nouns Nouns that can…t take plural.aNon-finite Verb Phrase Its first element is a non-finite verb free from the restrict of tense and concord of subject.Non-inherent adjectives Non-inherent adjectives identify qualities in an indirect way.

Diachronic approach is an approach to polysemy which studies how a word derived its different meanings from its primary meaning in the course of time. Synchronic approach is an approach to polysemy which studies the coexistence of various meanings of the same word in a certain historical period of time. Primary meaning is the only meaning that a word had when it was first created. Derived meanings are the meanings that a word gets from the primary meaning at different stages of its development in the course of time.同形同音异义关系Homonymy is one of the features of words that a word is different in meaning from another, but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling with the other Homonyms generally fall into three classes: perfect homonyms (same name); homographs (same spelling) and homophones (some sound). Perfect homonyms are those words identical both in sound and spelling, but different in meaning, e.g. bear /bea/ (n) a large heavy animal; bear /bea/ (v) to put up with. Homographs are the words identical only in spelling but different in sound and meaning, e.g. saw / / (v) to scatter seeds; sow /sau/ (n) female adult pig. Homophones refer to the words identical only in sound but different in spelling and meaning, e.g. dear /dia/ (n) a loved person; deer /dia/ (n) a kind of animal.同形同音异义词与多义词的区别Perfect homonyms and polysemants are fully identical with regard to spelling and pronunciation. This creates the problem of differentiation. The fundamental difference between homonyms and polysemants lies in the fact that the former refers to different words which happen to share the same form and the latter is the one and same word which has several distinguishable meanings. One important criterion is to see their etymology, i.e. homonyms are from different sources whereas a polysemant is from the same source which has acquired different meanings in the course of development. The second principal consideration is semantic relatedness. The various meanings of a polysemant are correlated and connected to one central meaning to a greater or lesser degree, e. g. neck (See 6.1 Polysemy) . On the other hand, meanings of different homonyms have nothing to do with one another. In dictionaries, a polysemant has its meanings all listed under one headword whereas homonyms are listed as separate entries.同义关系Synonyms are words which share the same or nearly the same meaning with each other but different in sound and spelling. There are absolute synonyms and relative synonyms which result from borrowing, dialects and regional English, figurative and euphemistic use of words, coincidence with idiomatic expressions. There exists the difference between or among synonyms in terms of their denotation, connotation or application. Absolute synonyms or complete synonyms are words which are identical in meaning in all its aspects. Relative synonyms or near-synonyms are similar or nearly the same in denotation, but embrace different shades of meaning or different degrees of a given quality.Sources of Synonyms 1) Borrowing 2)Dialects and regional English 3) Figurative and euphemistic use of words 4) Coincidence with idiomatic expressions如何区分同义词?1Difference in denotation2 Difference in connotation 3 Difference in applicationWhat are the characteristics of antonyms?1) Antonyms are classified on the basis of semantic opposition 2) A word which has more than one meaning can have more than one antonym. 3) Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. 4) Contrary terms are gradable antonyms, differing in degree of intenisty, so each has its own corresponding opposite.上下义关系:Hyponymy deals with the relationship of semantic inclusion. That is, the meaning of a more specific word is included in that of another more general word. Superordinates refer to some general words; subordinates denote those more specific words. Hyponymy can be described in terms of tree-like graphs, with higher-order superordinates above the lower subordinates. But their status either as superordinate or subordinate is relative to other terms. For example, horse, dog, pig are subordinates in relation to animal, but superordinates of mare, hound and boar, Animal itself becomes a subordinate of creature. And creature in turn becomes词义变化的种类There are five types of meaning, changes: extension, narrowing, degradation, elevation, and transfer among which extension and narrowing are the most common. Changes in meaning can be accounted for from extra-linguistic factors (historical reason, class reason, and psychological reason) and intra-linguistic factors (shortening, the influx of borrowing, and analogy).词义的扩大Extension is a process by which a word with a specialized sense is generalized to cover a broader or lessdefinite concept. Compare the following;词义的缩小Narrowing is a process by which a word of wider meaning acquires a specialized sense;词义的升华Elevation is a process by which a word moves from a derogatory or neutral sense to a neutral and/or appreciativesense;词义的降格Degradation is a process by which a word of reputation slides into a pejorative use,;词义的转移Transfer is a process by which a word denoting one thing changes to refer to a different but related thing. Paper serves as an example. This word formerly denoted an African plant papyrus, which was once used to make paper. In modern times, paper is made from rags, wood, straw and the like, but the product has retained the same name. There is associated transfer. There are other kinds of transfer, such as, concrete to abstract, abstract to concrete and transfer of sensation.语境的种类:非语言语境。
