英汉两种语言中语素、词缀、词尾的比较

The Comparison of Morpheme,Affix and Grammatical Ending in English and Chinese

语素、词缀、词尾是形态学的重要组成部分。语素是构成词语的要素 ,是不能分割的最小的语音语义结合体。词缀是一种附加语素 ,表示词汇意义。可分为前缀、中缀和后缀。词尾是位于词根后面表示词形变化的标志 ,一般用来表示语法意义。

Morpheme,affix and grammatical ending are the dominant parts in morphology. A morpheme may be definded as the minimal linguistic sign, a grammatical unit, in which there is an arbitrary union of a sound and a meaning and which can not be further analyzed. Derivational affix modifies the word lexically which can be divided into prefix,infix and suffix. Grammatical ending or inflectional morpheme is the sign after the root which modifies the words grammatically.
