The basic confirmation of vocabulary-spun3
|
We all know that affixation is one of the basic confirmation of vocabulary ,another two are compounding and conversion .I am willing to give a briefly introduction or understanding about affixation ,it may be surficial and seems childish ,but i am glad to share my opinion with you .
???? It is widely acknowledged that affixation including two parts ??prefix and suffix .As to affixation ,many of them were brought from foreign countries such as Latin??Romanic??french and grace and so on .another origin is old english ,many affixation as ??be?? So you can easily see that the origin of affixation is various and hence the expression of one meaning can be different .We could say someone is a filmnik just means he is a man who is crazy about film or fond of watching movies .To some extend ,affixation has broaden our horizons and enriched our life .What??s more ,it helps us get rid of the embarrassing situation of reusing the same words in our composition and communication with others .
????Another advantage of affixation is ambiguity.For example ??childish and bookish ;The former ??ish?? means something or somebody likes something ,luxury designer bags,in other words you can see the shadows from it ;While the latter means nearly or almost .This is what I am going to talk about -----ambiguity ;Therefore ,cheap designer jewellery,we have to pay much attention to the translation if we want to express the exactly meaning.Take the suffix ??er??for example ,what would you think about ?Of course there is no business with performer or actor in action movies,it simply means action movies .
???? The third advantage is marching with the time .We all live in a rapidly developing world,with the development of the technology and economy ,we have to update the vocabulary in order to meet our demand ,such as electronic changed into ??e??.In this way ,we could make it shorter and terse ,and we also save a lot of time .At the fundamental,we human beings made many new vocabularies ,like e-book ;e-tailing ;e-cash ;e-card and so on .Now not only our human accept it ,but also it has been indexed into dictionary and spread rapidly .
??????The fourth advantage that we should attach great importance to and cannot ignore is derivation .There are two forms of the derivation ,one is free root which added with affixes ;for
instance:indefinite,unforgettable ;the other is bounding root ,only by attaching to another root can it be used .Such as :descend ??distinctive ??predictable.Maybe you think that the structure of the derivation is comparatively easy and you can easily find many words in our daily life and test books .But pay more attention to the meaning of the new words which come from by changing the basic words .Because they are complex ??deceptive and confusing .For example ,distinctive ??distinction ;Sometimes you nearly could not tell them apart according to the Chinese explanation unless look them up in english dictionary.Indeed ,they have the close meaning in some situations.
The fifth advantage is the effect that affixation has on the meaning of words and part of speech .Do you know there are three prefixes in english which has the function to determine the part of speech .They are ??en?? ??be?? ??a??,adding ??en?? before some nouns,it turns to be verbs ;such as endanger ;adding ??be?? to nouns or adjectives,you will get verbs too.and so dose ??a??.
The last advantage of affixation is keeping close touch with politic ??economy and trade .As we all know ,politic is a sensitive topic ,we need to be carefully to deal with it .Therefore ,we use Euphemism,metaphor or metonymy to present the citizens??s discontent with the government or to ironize and expose their scandals .Take the well-known event ---Watergate and the following Hurricanegate,Irangate for example .Another example is about economy and trade,ipod is an international brand ,nowadays the company not only treat adults as main consumers and continuously making e-products for them,but also set foot in toys such as iCat,iDog and now it has been proved to be a wisely decision.Because children will become the main consumers and going to play an overwhelming role in market.
So you can find the shadow of affixation everywhere for it has become an important part in vocabulary and so does in our life.
