as free grammatical units in sentences.
3) They are identical with root words, as each of them consists of a single free root words ,as each of them consists of a single free root .
4) free morphemes are free roots.
bound morphemes: 1) Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound..
2) They are bound to other morphemes to form words. 3) Bound morphemes include two types: bound root and affix affix 分为两类: inflectional and derivational affixes.
Inflectional affixes : Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional, thus known as inflectional morphemes.
Derivational affixes: 1)derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create now words.
2) Derivational affixes can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes.
root : 1) a root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity.
2) the root, whether free or bound, generally carries the main component of meaning in a word
3) a ’root is that part of a wordform that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed’
stem : 1) a stem may consist of a single root morpheme as in iron or of
two root
morphemes as in a compound like handcuff.
2) It can be a root morpheme plus one or more affixational morphemes as in
mouthful, underestimate.
3) Therefore, a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can be added.
问题:Stem 和 root 有一个最大的区别在哪里? ( 连着两年没有考过)
答案: a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can
be added.
问题:请加以区别下面两个词的特征: nation , dict 请加以理论的分析? Both nation and dict belong to roots, nation is free root, which can function alone in a sentence,
Nation as a free root, has complete meaning, when both prefixes and suffixes attached to it are removed, nation as a free root, still remains
Dict is a bound root, which can not function alone grammatically , dict carries the fundamental meaning of words, dict has to combine with the other morphemes to create new words , for example , dictionary , contradiction .
问题:分析下面一句话: He is much more cleverer than any other one in the village,
too heads are better than one. 请从构词角度分析以上的例子,
cleverer , better
cleverer (-er : inflectional affixes )
better ( good , well 的特殊变化) It is allomorph of good and well. 第四章:
