Chapter Three ——Morphology(形态学)Morphology: the study of word-formation, or the internal structure of words, or the rules by which words are formed.Word is a minimal free form with a unity of sound and meaning.The classification of words :1、variableand invariable words(可变化词和不变词)Variable words are those words which can take inflective endings;E.g write, writes, writing, wrote, written; cat, cats.invariable words are those that cannot.E.g since, when, seldom, through, etc.2、grammatical and lexical words(语法词和词汇词)词汇词也即实词,又译作notional/content word ;语法词也即虚词,又称function/form word 功能词/形式词3、c1osed- class and open-class words (封闭类词和开放类词)According to their membership:c1osed- class and open-class words (封闭类词和开放类词)An close class is one whose membership is in principle fixed or limited. (封闭类:连介代冠)An open class is one whose membership is in principle indefinite or unlimited. (开放类:名动形副数叹)一、Morph Morpheme AllomorphMorph:The phonological and orthographic forms that represent morpheme are called morphs.[swi:t]{sweet}SweetMorpheme:The smallest unit of language.It can be represented as1-morpheme un-,-ish,-s.-ed1-morpheme word boy,desire2-morpheme wordboy+ish, desir(e)+ableAllomorphA morpheme may be represented by different forms, called allomorphs.im possible{in} in convenientir regular tax.il logical-s [-s] book books{plural} -es [-iz] box boxes-i [-ai] mouse miceConclusion:All the allomorphs should have the same meaning.All the allomorphs should be in complementary distribution.The allomorphs with the same meaning should function the same in the language grammar structure.二、Classification of morpheme1、Free vs. Bound morphemesFree morphemes: those that may constitute words by themselves,e.g. boy, girl, table, nation.Bound morphemes: those that cannot occur alone,e.g. -s, -ed, dis-, un-.Root: the base form of a word that cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity, i.e. it is that part of the word left when all the affixes are removed.e.g. Dislike, impolite, production,Membership, carelessnessfriend as in unfriendliness.Root may befree: those that can stand by themselves,e.g. black+board; nation+-al; orbound: those that cannot stand by themselves,e.g. -ceive in receive, perceive, conceive.Affix: the type of formative that can be used only when added to another morpheme. Normally divided intoprefix (dis-, un-) andsuffix (-en, -ify).Base: a morpheme to which an affix is added,e.g.friend root > basefriendly root/base + suffix > baseunfriendly prefix + base > baseStem: a morpheme or combination of morphemes to which an inflectional affix may be added,e.g. friend+-s;friendship swrite+-ing,possibility+-es.Note:A stem can be equivalent to a root.A stem may contain a root and aderivational affix.2、Derivational vs Inflectional morphemeInflection indicates:case and number of nouns,tense and aspect of verbs,degree of adjectives or adverbs.Derivation: combination of a base and an affix to form a new word, e.g. friend+-ly > friendly.三、Word-formationCompoundingAffixationOther formation1、CompoundingTwo or more free roots combine to make a new word.✧Noun compounds: daybreak, playboy, haircut, windmill✧Verb compounds: brainstorm, lipread, babysit✧Adjective compounds: gray-haired, insect-eating, dutyfree✧Preposition compounds: into, throughoutEndocentric& exocentricEndocentric: one element serves as the head, the relationship of “a kind of”; e.g. self-control: a kind of controlarmchair: a kind of chairExocentric: there is no head, so not a relationship of “a kind of something”, e.g. scarecrow: not a kind of crowbreakneck: not a kind of neckWritten forms of compoundsSolid: blackboard, teapot, bodyguardHyphenated: wedding-ring, wave-lengthOpen: coffee table, washing machineFree variation:businessman, business-man, business manwinebottle, wine-bottle, wine bottleno one, no-one, noone2、Affixation✧Nominal forms: boys, boy’s✧Verb forms: wants, wanted, wanting✧Adjective/adverb forms: smaller, smallest3、DerivationClass-changing:✧N>V: lengthen, hospitalize, discard✧N>A: friendly, delightful, speechless✧V>N: worker, employee, inhabitant✧V>A: acceptable, adorable✧A>N: rapidness, rapidity✧A>V: deafen, sweeten✧Adj>Adv: exactly, quickly4、Other formations:1)Blendingtransfer+resistor>transistorsmoke+fog>smog2)Acronym①AIDS, Aids: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome②ASAP: as soon as possible3)Abbreviation/InitialismAI: artificial intelligencea.s.a.p.: as soon as possibleECU: European Currency Unit4)ClippingBack-clippings: ad(vertisement), chimp(anzee), deli(catessen), exam(ination), hippo(potamus), lab(oratory), piano(forte), reg(ulation)sFore-clippings: (ham)burger, (omni)bus, (violin)cello, (heli)copter, (alli)gator, (tele)phone, (earth)quakeFore-and-aft clippings: (de)tec(tive)5)Back-formationdiagnose < diagnosisenthuse < enthusiasmlaze < lazy6)Invention/CoinageMostly brand names:Kodak, Coke, nylon, Band-aid, Xerox, LycraCoca-cola, Orlon and Dacron7)BorrowingFrench: administration, parliament, public, court, crime, judge, army, enemy, Greek: catastrophe, cosmos, criterion, idiosyncrasySpanish and Portuguese: banana, barbecue, cafeteria, cargo, chocolate,8)Conversion 转换e.g. to butter the bread, take a look, empty a box, up the price9)Eponymsare words that originate from proper names of individuals or places.e.g. Sandwich (originating from the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who put his food between two slices of bread so that he could eat while gambling)ExerciseI. Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.1. A morpheme must convey a lexical meaning.2. All words can be said to contain a root morpheme.3. Free morphemes can be further classified into inflectional and derivational morphemes.4. All words have morphs but not necessarily allomorphs.5. The word “modernizations”is made up of three morphemes.6. Derivational morphemes never change the class of the words to which they are attached.II. Fill in each of the following blanks with a proper word.Morphology is a branch of grammar which studies the ___ ___ of words and the____ by which words are formed.[-t], [-d], and [-id] are ___of the morpheme –ed.“Careless”is the __ of the word “carelessness”.__ affixes,__affixes, and __roots are all bound morphemes.III. Questions1. Analyze and then tell how many morphemes each of the following words contain. unselfishness, justifiable, sporting2. What constitutes the internal structure of words?3. List the allomorphs of the morpheme plural.。
The land of the lock1. Years ago in American, it was customary for families to leave their doors unlocked, day and night. In this essay, Greene regrets that people can no longer trust each other and have to resort to elaborate security system to protect themselves and their valuables.Although the author is writing his opinion, he uses many examples to reinforce his ideas and to prove his thesis.几年前在美国,许多美国家庭的门通常都是日夜不上锁的。
在本文中,格林遗憾地指出人们已经不再彼此信任,不得不求助于各种复杂的安全设备来保护自身及其贵重物品。
作者在提出自己观点的同时,举出了大量的事例来证实和强调自己的观点;2. In the house where i grow up, it was our custom to leave the front door on the latch at night. I don't know if that was a local term or if is universal;"on the latch"meant the door was closed but not locked . None of us carried keys the last one in for the evening would close up,and that was it. 在我长大成人的家里,我们的习惯是晚上把前门闩上。
Chapter 3THERE was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor−boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On week−ends his Rolls−Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing−brushes and hammers and garden−shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruitier in New York every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulp less halves. There was a machine in the kitchen which could extract the juice of two hundred oranges in half an hour if a little button was pressed two hundred times by a butler's thumb.At least once a fortnight a corps of caterers came down with several hundred feet of canvas and enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of Gatsby's enormous garden. On buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors−d'oeuvre, spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold. In the main hall a bar with a real brass rail was set up, and stocked with gins and liquors and with cordials so long forgotten that most of his female guests were too young to know one from another.总是有悠扬的音乐在夏夜的晚上从我隔壁传出。

Chapter 3答案Morphology1. Define the following terms briefly.(1)morphology: the study of the structure of words.(2)morpheme: the smallest unit of language that carries meaning or serves a grammatical function.(3)free morpheme: a morpheme that can stand alone as a word.(4)bound morpheme: a morpheme that can not stand alone as a word, e.g. -ment (as in establishment), and -er (as in painter).(5)morph: the smallest meaningful phonetic segments of an utterance on the level of parole.(6)allomorph: a phonetic form in which a morpheme is realized, e.g. -s, -es, and -en are all allomorphs (in writing) of the plural morpheme. (7)derivation: the formation of new words by adding affixes to other words or morphemes in morphology and word formation.(8)clipping: the process by which parts of a word of more than one syllable have been cut off, and reduced to a shorter form.(9)acronym: words which are composed of the first letter of a series of words and are pronounced as single words. Examples: NATO, radar and yuppy.(10) initialism: Some new words are composed of the first letters of a series of words and pronounced by saying each letter in them. Such words are calledinitialism.(11) blending: A single new word can be formed by combining two separate forms. Typically, blending is finished by taking only the beginning of one word and joining it to the end of another word. For example, brunch isformed by the shortened forms of breakfast and lunch.(12) root: the morpheme that remains when all affixes are stripped from a complex word, e.g. system from un- + system + atic + ally. (13) stem: the base to which one or more affixes are attached to create a more complex form that may be another stem or a word. For example, book is the stem of bookish.(14) prefix: Affixes can be joined to the beginning of the root or stem, in which case they are called prefixes.(15) suffix: Affixes can be joined to the end of the root or stem, in which case they are called suffixes.2.

When all the words above are stressed on the first syllables, they are nouns, but if they have the second syllables stressed, the words become verbs.6. (1) It means “the inhabitant of ”.(2)It means “the person who does”.(3)The morphological rule working here is “n. + -er ––n.”, and the last phoneme of the noun, which the suffix -er is added to, should be a consonant.(4)The rule in (3) doesn’t work in the word discoverer because the last phoneme of discoverer is a vowel /2/.7.

Chapter 3 Equivalence above word level3.1. CollocationWhen we discussed lexical meaning in Chapter 2, we made a brief reference to collocation under presupposed meaning and defined it as:①Semantically arbitrary restriction which do not follow logically from the propositional meaning of a word②To think of collocation in terms of the tendency of certain words to co-occur regularly ina given languageThe patterns of collocation are largely arbitrary and independent of meaning.Differences in collocational patterning among languages are not just a question of using, say,a different verb with a given noun; they can involve totally different ways of portraying an event.3.1.1.Collocational range and collocational markednessRange here refers to the set of collocates, which are typically associated with the word in question.Two main factors can influence the collocational range of an item: (1) its level of specificity;(2) the number of senses it has.It is the collocational patterning of a word that determines its different senses. Either way, it is clear that there is a strong relationship between the number of senses a word has and its collocational range.Collocational ranges are not fixed. Words attract new collocates all the time: they do so naturally, through processes of analogy, or because speakers create unusual collocations on purpose.A marked collocation is an unusual combination of words, one that challenges our expectations as hearers or readers.To sum up, we create new collocations all the time, either by extending an existing range or by deliberately putting together words from different or opposing ranges.3.1.2. Collocation and registerRegister-specific collocations are not simply the set of terms that go with a discipline. They extend far beyond the list of terms that one normally finds in specialized dictionaries and glossaries.3.1.3. Collocational meaningCollocational meaning depends largely on its pattern of collocation and is not something that the word possesses in isolation.3.1.4. Some collocation-related pitfalls and problems in translation3.1.4.1. The engrossing effect of source text patterningConfusing source and target patterns is a pitfall that can easily be avoided once the translator is alerted to the potential influence that the collocational patterning of the source text can have on him or her.A good method of detaching oneself from the source text is to put draft translation aside fora few hours.3.1.4.2. Misinterpreting the meaning of a source-language collocation3.1.4.3. The tension between accuracy and naturalness3.1.4.4. Culture-specific collocations3.1.4.5. Marked collocation in the source text3.2. Idioms and fixed expressions3.2.1. Idioms, fixed expressions and the direction of translation"N ative knowledge" is defined as the ability to speak and write a language so fluently that the expression of thought is structurally, grammatically and idiomatically correct.The main problem that idiomatic and fixed expressions pose in translation relates to two main areas:①The ability to recognize and interpret an idiom correctly②The difficulties involved in rendering the various aspects of meaning that an idiom or a fixed expression conveys into the target language.3.2.2. The interpretation of idioms①Some idioms are misleading; they seem transparent because they offer a reasonable literal interpretation and their idiomatic meanings are not necessarily signalled in the surrounding text.②An idiom in the source language may have a very close counterpart in the target language which looks similar on the surface but has a totally or partially different meaning.3.2.3. The translation of idioms: difficultiesAn idiom or a fixed expression may have no equivalent in the target language:①Express a given meaning by means of a single word②Express it by means of a transparent fixed expression③Express it by means of an idiomAn idiom or fixed expression may have a similar counterpart in the target language, but its context of use may be different; the two expressions may have different connotations or they may not be pragmatically transferable.An idiom may be used in the source text in both its literal and idiomatic senses at the same time. The very convention of using idioms in written discourse, the contexts in which they can be used, and their frequency of use may be different in the source and target languages.3.2.4. The translation of idioms: strategies3.2.4.1. Using an idiom of similar meaning and formIt is to use an idiom in the target language which conveys roughly the same meaning as that of the source-language idiom and, in addition, consists of equivalent lexical items.3.2.4.2. Using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form3.2.4.3. T ranslation by paraphrase3.2.4.4. T ranslation by omission。
