13、tical function of stems. In other words, they mainly change the word class. However, they may also add attached meaning to the stem.,English Lexicology(II),23,5.3 Suffixation,The classification of suffixes Since suffixes mainly change the word class, we shall group suffixes on a grammatical basis in

50、ning.,English Lexicology(II),78,7.1 Conventionality and Motivation,Non-motivated and motivated From the point of view of motivation, the great majority of English words are nonmotivated, since they are conventional, arbitrary symbols. However, there is a small group of words that can be described as
51、 motivated, that is, a direct or somewhat connection between the symbol and its sense can be readily observed.,English Lexicology(II),79,7.1 Conventionality and Motivation,Examples of motivation The pigeon coos. airmail, miniskirt, hopeless a coat of paint He has a stony heart.

52、 the Sphinxs riddle to them.,English Lexicology(II),80,7.1 Conventionality and Motivation,Types of motivation Onomatopoeic motivation Morphological motivation Semantic motivation Logical motivation Motivation and Culture,English Lexicology(II),81,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,Onomatopoeic motivation(拟
53、声理据) means defining the principle of motivation by sound. Words motivated phonetically are called onomatopoeic words, whose pronunciation suggests the meaning. They show a close connection between sound and sense.,English Lexicology(II),82,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,Primary onomatopoeia Primary ono
54、matopoeia means the imitation of sound by sound. Here the sound is truly an “echo to the sense”.,English Lexicology(II),83,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,Primary onomatopoeia,English Lexicology(II),84,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,Secondary onomatopoeia Secondary onomatopoeia means that certain sounds an
55、d sound-sequences are associated with certain senses. In other words, certain sounds evoke symbolic connotations, suggesting particular senses.,English Lexicology(II),85,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,Secondary onomatopoeia -are suggests “big light or noise” Blare, flare, glare, stare -ump suggests “pr
56、otuberance” Plump, chump, rump, hump, stump, dump, mump sk- suggests “touching or moving on the surface Skate, skim, skin, ski, sketch, skid h- suggests “moving with great speed, force, or violence” Heavy, haste, hurry, hit, hurl, hammer, hinder,English Lexicology(II),86,7.2 Onomatopoeic motivation,
57、But it has to be pointed out that onomatopoeic words constitute only a small part of the vocabulary; some onomatopoeic words are not completely motivated phonetically and are conventional to quite a large extent. If you throw a stone into water, the sound you hear is by no means the same as when you
58、 say splash. Flies do not exactly make the sound of buzz.,English Lexicology(II),87,7.3 Morphological motivation,We say the word is morphologically motivated, for a direct connection can be observed between the morphemic structure of the word and its meaning. This is called morphological motivation(
59、形态理据),English Lexicology(II),88,7.3 Morphological motivation,Derivational words are morphologically motivated. If one knows the meaning of the affix and the base, then one can immediately tell the meaning of the word. Compounds words may be morphologically motivated too. The meanings of words like good-looking, spaceman, moonscape, daydream and many others derive from the combined meaning of the component parts.
