26. Lexicology is closely connected with:

27. A suffix is: A suffix is a group of letters placed at the end of a word to make a new word. A suffix can make a new word in one of two ways:

inflectional (grammatical): for example, changing singular to plural (dog → dogs), or changing present tense to past tense (walk → walked). In this case, the basic meaning of the word does not change.

derivational (the new word has a new meaning, "derived" from the original word): for example, teach → teacher or care → careful

28. What is polysemy? (Greek polúsémos = having many meanings) - words with two or more senses

29. Vingradov’s classification of phraseological units is based on: According to Vinogradov’s classification all phraseological units are divided into phraseological fusions, phraseological unities and phraseological combinations.

30. Which of the following antonyms are derivational?

31. The following words “hell, damn, shut up” are:

32. Phraseological units differ from free word-groups in : Phraseological unitiesare partially non-motivated word-groups as their meaning can usually be understood (derived) through the metaphoric meaning of the whole phraseological unit.They have comparatively high degree of lexical components and grammatical structure. There must be less than 2 notional words in metaphorical meanings.

33. A prefix is: A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word to modify or change its meaning.

34. Semantically morphemes are classified as: Semantically morphemes may be classified into: 1) root morphemes – radicals (remake, glassful, disorder - make, glass, order- are understood as the lexical centres of the words) and 2) non-root morphemes – include inflectional (carry only grammatical meaning and relevant only for the formation of word-forms) and affixational morphemes (relevant for building different types of stems).

35. Word composition is a word-building process in which words are built:

36. Structurally morphemes fall into: Structurally, morphemes fall into: free morphemes (coincides with the stem or a word-form. E.g. friend- of thenoun friendship is qualified as a free morpheme), bound morphemes (occurs only as a constituent part of a word. Affixes are bound for they always make part of a word. E.g. the suffixes –ness, -ship, -ize in the words darkness, friendship, to activize; the prefixes im-, dis-, de- in the words impolite, to disregard, to demobilize) and semi-free or semi-bound morphemes (can function both as affixes and free morphemes. E.g. well and half on the one hand coincide with the stem – to sleep well, half an hour, and on the other in the words – well-known, half-done).

37. Semasiology is the branch of Lexicology that deals with: semasiology is a branch of lexicology which is concerned with the study of the semantic structure of vocabulary units. The study of meaning is the basis of all linguistic investigations.

38. Which of these prefixes have the opposite meaning?

39. According to the structure the words: fridge, lab, tech, exam, USA, NATO are:

40. Which of the following pairs of words has the verb derived from the noun?

41. Check for the type of word-formation in the following words: moo, splash, buzz, cuckoo, bubble

42. Which of these nouns are derived form the verbs?

43. A morpheme is: A morpheme is the smallest indivisible two-facet language unit which implies an association of a certain meaning with a certain sound form. Unlike words, morphemes cannot function independently (they occur in speech only as parts of words).

44. Structurally morphemes fall into:

45. The root of the word is: is a part of a word which possesses a lexical meaning and in some cases grammatical meaning

46. Affixation is the formation of words: a.derivational (help to form new words with the same root)

(use –ful;-less) (prefixes and suffixes)

b. functional (do not form new words but they change the word within its paradigm) (work – ed;-s;-ing) (endings, flections)
