5.6.1 Derivation 派生法
Derivation, also termed as affixaion, is a process of word-formation,in which one or more affixes are attached to a root or a base to produce a new word known as derived word.
派生法,也称为词缀法,是一个构词的过程,即一个或多个词缀附着在一个词基或词根上,产生一个新词,称为派生词。
Derivation will very often change the part of speech of the root or the base.
派生法常常会改变词根或词基的词性。
(As to the difference between a root and a base,we should remind readers to pay close attention to Section 5.3.4).
(关于词根和词基的区别,我们要提醒读者密切关注5.3.4节)。
Derivation is one of the most common word-formation processes to be found in the production of new English words.
派生法是英语新词产生中最常见的构词过程之一。
It is accomplished by means of a large number of affixes of the English language which are not usually given separate listings in dictionaries.
它是通过大量的英语词缀来完成的,这些词缀通常不会在字典中单独列出。
The important ways of derivation are prefixation and suffixation.
重要的派生法方式是前缀法和后缀法。
In prefixation,we put a prefix before the root or base.
在前缀法中,我们在词根或词季前加上前缀。
In suffixation,we put a suffix after the base.
在后缀法时,我们在词基后面加后缀。
We can look at the following examples.
我们可以看看下面的例子。
