1、高中英语构词法讲解与练习一.类别英语构词法主要有：合成法，转化法，派生法，混成法，截短法和词首字母缩略法。二.定义与精讲1.转化法英语中，有的名词可作动词，有的形容词可作副词或动词，这种把一种词性用作另一种词性而词形不变的方法叫作转化法。1) 动词转化为名词很多动词可以转化为名词，大多数情况下，意思没有多大的变化，如：Lets go out for a walk.我们到外面去散散步吧。有时意思有一定变化，如：He is a man of strong build.他是一个体格健壮的汉子。有的与一个动词和不定冠词构成短语，表示一个动作，如：Lets have a swim.咱们游泳吧。2)名词转
2、化为动词很多表示物件，如Did you book a seat on the plane? 你订好飞机座位了吗?身体部位，如：Please hand me the book.请把那本书递给我。某类人的名词可以用作动词来表示动作，如：She nursed her husband back to health.她看护丈夫，使他恢复了健康。某些抽象名词也可作动词。如：We lunched together.我们在一起吃了午餐。3)形容词转化为动词有少数形容词可以转化为动词。如：We will try our best to better our living conditions.我们要尽力改善我们
3、的生活状况。4)副词转化为动词有少数副词可以转化为动词。例如：Murder will out.(谚语)恶事终必将败露。5)形容词转化为名词表示颜色的形容词常可转化为名词，如：You should be dressed in black at the funeral.你在葬礼中该穿黑色衣服某些形容词如old, young, poor, rich, wounded, injured等与the连用，表示一类人，作主语时，谓语用复数如下，如：The old in our village are living a happy life.我们村的老年人过着幸福的生活。2.派生法在词根前面加前缀或在词根后面
4、加后缀构成一个与原单词意义相近或截然相反的新词叫作派生法。1)前缀除少数前缀外，前缀一般改变单词的意义，不改变词性；后缀一般改变词类，而不引起词义的变化。 (1)表示否定意义的前缀常用的有dis-, il-, im-, in-, ir-, mis-, non-, un-等，在单词的前面加这类前缀常构成与该词意义相反的新词。例如：appear出现disappear消失correct正确的incorrect不正确的lead带领mislead领错stop停下non-stop不停 (2)表示其他意义的前缀常用的有a-(多构成表语形容词), anti- (反对；抵抗), auto- (自动), co-
