The complexity of these compounds lies in the grammaticalization of classifiers’ system. Some nouns used as classifiers in the position of classifier are not grammaticalized into real classifiers which are temporary classifiers. So some of them are real noun-classifier compounds and some belong to noun-noun compounds. This paper attempts to analyze the structural relation between noun morpheme and classifier morpheme within the word. It also explains that the noun and the classifier compound in the position of light noun in the nP structure.展开更多

It will greatly influence the expression in our communication. Both teachers and students need to pay much more attention to the learning of English vocabulary. This paper discusses the study of morphology from the perspective of modern linguistics, including the definitions of morpheme, types of morphemes, morphological structure and the main processes of word-formation of the language. Meanwhile, the author analyzes how the morphology study is applicable to English vocabulary teaching and learning in college, especially explores the purpose of the English vocabulary teaching in college, and finally proposes Some practical approaches of vocabulary teaching from the study of morphology.展开更多

The nature is multicolored, so various nationalities have formed each unique color view in precipitated long-term history, refracting gorgeous national culture. Culture has restrained the meaning of the color words from developing, and the cultural meaning of the color words has refracted out abundant cultural intension again. Because of different cultural issues, cultural tradition, and culture psychology, the cultural connotations of the English and Chinese color words differ greatly, as a result, these particular cultural connotation meanings are cast under different environments by different nationalities. There are a lot of similarities and differences on the meaning between English and Chinese color words. This paper analyzing Chinese and English color terms in the angle of lexicology, is guided by the book An Introduction to English Lexicology. After reviewing the research done by some linguists, this paper starts from the definition and origin of color terms, studies the changing and word-formation of color terms, then ends with some researches on the idioms on color terms, which gives a systematically comparison of Chinese and English color terms on their developing progress.展开更多

To achieve a better result, teachers may not only be interested in the form, meaning and function of a certain word part, but also in such aspects as the determining factor which governs the choice of variant forms and the various changes brought about by the word-formation process. When teaching word parts, teachers are advised to pay attention to their usefulness and productiveness and draw their learners’ attention to various linguistic patterns. A tentative procedure is suggested for the effective teaching of word-formation knowledge.展开更多
