Chapter 3 Morphological Structure of English Words

We have discussed the historical, cultural and social factors

that facilitate (使……容易；推动) the development of the English

the expansion of vocabulary. In modern times, however, vocabulary

is mainly enlarged on an internal basis. That is, we use

superlative form, irregular forms of verbs, part of speeches, even derivatives of the headword,

into a dictionary is called a lexeme by linguists. An lexeme is an abstract unit in

linguistics that roughly corresponds to a set of forms taken by a single word. Eg: run, runs,

ran, running. 原形大写表示词位，词位相当于词条中的headword.

⒋词形 word form: Different forms of a word which are caused by the change of tense, number,
