派生词,是英语主要的构词法。这方法是借前缀或后缀之助,制造出派生词,主要有名词、形容词和动词三种。前缀以否定前缀-等为主,使延伸出来的派生词变成反义词。
常见的前缀有:
un- dis- non- in- im- ir- il- de- re-
mis- anti- ex- pre- post- fore- self- super- mini- micro- macro- tele- auto- inter- sub- trans- semi- vice- bi- multi- en- a-
常见的后缀有:
名词:-er -or -ist -ee -ian -ese -ant ance -ence -tion- -ics -ing -ity -ment -ness -th -ty -ure -ship -age
形容词:-able -ible -al -ful -less -ish -ive -ous -an -ic -ant -y -ent -ary -en
副词: -ly,-ward,-wise
动词: -ise(-ize美国用)-en,-ify
数词 :-teen,-ty,-th
