英语名转动词产生的动因探微

A motivational study of the denominal verbs in English

名转动词的使用在英语中十分常见,值得研究。从语言的经济原则、修辞需要、名词和动词之间的密切联系以及词汇空缺的填补这四个方面对英语名转动词产生的动因进行探讨很有必要。

Now that the denominal verbs are extensively used in English, they are worth studying. This paper explores over the motivations of the use of denominal verbs from four perspectives： principle of economy, rhetorical need, close equivalence of nouns and verbs, and lexical gap fillings.
