专题十二 构词法一、合成法合成法是把两个或两个以上的单词合成一个新单词的构词法。有的可以直接写在一起构成一个新单词,还有的在词与词之间用连字符“”或空格隔开构成一个新单词,把这个词通常叫做复合词。二、转化法转化法是由一种词类转化为一种或几种词类的构词法。这种构词法词形没有改变,转化后的单词在意义上通常与原单词有密切联系。三、派生法派生法是英语主要的构词法。此方法是借助于前缀或后缀,制造出派生词,主要有名词、形容词和动词三种。1.前缀构词法前缀是加在一个词根前面的音节,它并不是独立的单词,但本身有一定的含义,它不改变词性,但改变原词义。2.后缀构词法后缀是加在一个单词后面的音节,它本身一般也有一定含义,能够改变单词的词性,有的也可以改变词义。备注:以上三种构词法的具体例子见《记忆有道》中的构词法记忆部分。 用所给词的适当形式填空1 .
