1、什么是词素(morpheme)词素是语法的最小区别性单位,即最低一级的语法单位。词素的语音或拼写法的体现叫形素(morph)。词素是一种抽象形式的成分,在不同的环境中一个词素可以由若干个不同的形素体现,如英语中的复数词素可以表现为s,z,iz。某一词素在不同的环境中可以用不同的变体或词素变体(allomorph)表示。所谓词素变体是指词素的非区别性变体,几个不同的变体一起构成一个词素。词素又分为自由词素和粘附词素。自由词素(free morpheme)是指本身具有完整意义,可以独立使用的词素。它可以是简单的单词,如boy,girl,do,so等,也可以是派生词的词根,如im-polite,se
2、lf-ish等。自由词素具有较强的构词能力。粘附词素 (bound morpheme)是指没有完整意义不能独立使用的词素。粘附词素只表示一种附加意义或语法意义,这种词素不能单独存在和使用,只有粘附在其他词素(主要是自由词素)上才能表示出它的意义。粘附词素的主要功能是在构词中充当词缀,如unfriendliness中的un-,-ly,-ness等。3.Finite clauses and infinite clauses (限定性分句与非限定性分句,定义参见下面的简答题部分)注意这里分句的概念与传统语法的区别,特别是非限定性分句。Finite Clauses(1)名词性分句 What he sa
