摘要
可能词汇经过实践检验可以转变成实际词汇,但是否所有的可能词汇都会成为实际词汇,一直是语言学家致力研究的问题。研究发现,一般能够转变成实际词汇的词经常都是实际中使用频率比较低的词,即低频词。可以认为低频词在英语构词中的能产率占有比较高的比例,低频词在构成英语新词中的能产性比较强,并且新词的产生及词法化,往往是从低频词开始的。
It is considered that possible words can become actual words through practice. Linguists are always trying to find whether all possible words can become actual words in reality. However, those possible words that can become actual words are not used very often, i.e. low-frequency words. Findings show that productive processes of words are characterized by a high proportion of low-frequency words. Therefore, low-frequency words seem more productive than high-frequency words in forming new English words, and the occurrence of notice word and lexicalization of nonce word usually starts from low-frequency words.
