ТЕСТОВЫЕ ЗАДАНИЯ

Task I. Fill in the gaps in the following definitions

1.The smallest meaningful unit of form is the morpheme.

2.A derivational pattern is a regular meaningful arrangement, a structure that imposes rigid rules on the order and the nature of the derivational bases and

affixes that may be brought together.

3.Morpheme variants are called allomorphs

4.Affixes are divided into prefixes and suffixes.

5.Radicals are the lexical nucleus of words.

6.A free morpheme is defined as one that coincides with the stem or a word-form.

7.Stems formed by combining two free stems are called compound stems.

8.Stems, which are semantically or structurally motivated formed by means of different word-building processes such as affixation, conversion, abbreviation, types of shortenings are called derived stems.

9.A prefix is a derivational morpheme preceding the root-morpheme and modifying its lexical meaning.

10.A structural word-formation analysis studies the structural correlation with other words, the structural patterns or rules on which words are built.

Task II. Carry out the morphemic analysis and the word formation analysis of the following words:

ТЕСТОВЫЕ ЗАДАНИЯ

Task I. Give structural formulas of the following words: Classify the words into: 1) suffixation; 2) prefixation; 3) conversion; 4) compounding

Model: blackness - structural formular A+-suf—*N - suffixation

1.to paper – structural formula N →V - conversion

2.speechless – structural formula N + Suffix →Adj. - suffixation

3.pen – holder – structural formula N+N→N - compounding

4.irreplaceable – structural formula prefix. + Adj. - prefixation

5.nothingness – structural formula pronoun + suffix. –ness →N - suffixation

6.age – long – structural formula → N + Adj → Adj - compounding

7.ex - housewife – structural formula → prefix ex- + N→N - prefixation

8.wind-driven– structural formula N+ Part II→PartII - compounding

9.independence– structural formula Adj+ prefix in-→N – prefixation

10.sharpen– structural formula Adj + -suf –en →V - suffixation

Task II. Define the type of conversion;

1)the poor - subsantivation (Adj→N)

2)to callgirl - verbalization (N→V)

3)a professional - substantivation (Adj→N)

4)a breakdown - conversion

5)must - conversion

6)to eye - verbalization (N→V)

ПРАКТИЧЕСКИЕ ЗАДАНИЯ

Task I. In accordance with the part that is cut off to form a new word classify cases of shortening into four groups: 4) initial shortenings (aphesis); 2) medial shortenings (syncope): 3) final shortenings (apocope); 4) both initial and final shortenings.

net < internet

The initial part of the original word is cut off.- Consequently, the new word refers to the first group.

Hols < holidays– the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; vac < vacuum cleaner - the final part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group; tec < detective – both initial and final part of the original word are cut off. Consequently,

the new word refers to the fourth group; plane < aeroplane - the initial part of the

original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; Frisco < (San) Francisco – the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the

new word refers to the second group; quiz< inquisitive – both initial and final part of the original word are cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the fourth group; bus < omnibus - the initial part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; curio < curiosity - the final part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group; miss < mistress – the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; sport < disport - the initial part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; soccer < Association Football – both initial and final part of the original word are cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the fourth group; fan < fanatic - the final part of the original

word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group; circs < circumstances – the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; chute < parachute - the initial part of the

original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; Aline < Adeline – the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; cert < certainty - the final part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group; tend < attend - the initial part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; mart < market – the middle part of the original word is cut off.

Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; coke < coca-cola – the final part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group; Liz < Elizabeth – both initial and final part of the original word are cut

off. Consequently, the new word refers to the fourth group; prep-school < preparatory-school – the middle part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the second group; gator < alligator - the initial part of the

original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the first group; cuss <

customer - the final part of the original word is cut off. Consequently, the new word refers to the third group.
