    BAHAN AJAR VOCABULARY I

    DERIVATIONAL AND INFLECTIONAL


    AFFIXES

    Master the sound system


    The basic structural patterns
    A limited number of vocabulary items of
    the target language
    Structure which is close system has likely been
    given more emphasis than vocabulary.

    Why should we bother with vocabulary


    enrichment anyway?

    It is assumed that there is correlation between


    the size of one’s vocabulary with the
    intelligence growth
    FUNCTIONAL WORDS AND CONTENT
    WORDS
    Two kinds of lexical units in English :
    1. Cats eat fish
    2. My little daughter doesn’t speak English
    Note:
    The first sentence consist of three words , the
    second are seven words each.
    The underlined words are not the same as those
    which aren’t underlined. Such as my, does are
    called functional words.
    Content words are used to express cultural
    content. They consist of 1) noun, 2) verbs,
    3)adjectives and 4)adverbs.
    They have more or less independent meaning.

    Words are not the smallest units of meaning and


    syntax in a language.
    There are various types of morphemes in human
    language:
    - Roots - affixes -prefixes -suffixes -
    infixes - inflectional affixes -derivational
    affixes - free and bound morphemes
    WORDS AND MORPHEMES
    A word is any unit of language that in writing,
    appears between spaces or between a space
    and a hyphen’.
    -Matchbox - match box - match-box
    Word are very dissimilar in the ways in which
    they represent meanings.
    - Text - textbook
    - Cat - cats
    Notes:
    Words such as text, cat each conveys a single,
    quite specific meaning. A word like textbook,
    however containt two units of meaning both of
    which may occur independently (text and
    book)
    ROOTS AND AFFIXES
    • Free morphemes provide the basic element in
    words
    • Bound morphemes can be attached to free
    morphemes to create other words.
    Free morphemes bound morphemes
    (words, roots/bases (prefixes - suffixes)
    -happy - ness
    -quick -en
    DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES
    NOTE:
    Not all affixes have the same function when
    attached to the root or base.
    When the affixes change the class of a root or
    base then they are usually called derivational
    affixes.
    Root/base affix new words
    -Happy -ness -happiness
    INFLECTIONAL AFFIXES
    In English we have inflectional affixes to indicate
    the following:
    1. Pural forms such as:
    -s book = books
    -en child children
    2. Possessions such as :
    John’s book
    John and Mary’s house
    3. Third singular verb marker
    -mother always cooks rice
    4. Tense markers
    he worked hard yesterday
    5. Pronouns have different forms in terms of
    function.
    as a subject : she is a teacher
    as an object : I met her yesterday
    as possessive : is this bag hers? It’s her bag
    CONFOUND WORDS
    Words part 1 part 2 meanings
    -Campfire camp fire api unggun
    -Catwalk cat walk jalan sempit
    each of the words consist of two parts. These
    two parts make up one meaningful unit.
    such as campfire, catwalk are usually called
    compound words
    Compound words are formed by combining two
    or more words into unit with a perceptible
    lexical meaning
    1. N + N = classroom
    2. Adj + N = greenhouse
    3. Prep + prep = upon, into
    4. V + Prep = takeover
    5. N+ V = sunbathe
    BLENDS
    In English there are various ways to form new
    words . One of the ways is by blending two
    original words
    Motor + hotel = motel
    Breakfast + lunch = brunch
    Blending is the fusion of two words into one,
    usually the first part of one word with the last
    part of the another.
    CLIPPED FORMS
    Clipping is a process in which a word is formed
    by shortening a longer one.

    1. My youngest daughter likes chocs very much


    2. Mr. smith is our new vocab teacher
    Those words are actually the abbreviations of
    chocolates and vocabulary.
    ACRONYMS
    Acronyms are the result of forming a word from
    the first letter or letters of each word in a
    phrase. Such as :
    NASA = National Aeronautics and Space
    Administration
    VIP = Very Important Person
    WOMAN = World Organization of Mothers of
    All Nations
