英语复合形容词的构成及其作用

On the Effects and Structure of English Compound Adjectives

英语复合词一般由两个词根构成,在语法和语义上都是作为一个词汇单位来讲的。并且,复合形容词构成形式不同对所修饰的名词所起的作用也就不同。

An English compound, which is usually made up of two stems, is used as one word in the sense of grammar and meaning. Besides, the different structure of a compound adjective will impose different effects to the word modified.
