商务英语中复合形容词探讨

在英语词汇方面,商务英语与普通英语有较大的不同。商务英语词汇有其自身的一些特点,如专业词汇、缩略词和古体词的使用等等。在商务英语词汇中,存在大量的复合词,其中复合形容词在商务英语语言中起着举足轻重的作用。它能及时反映变化的语言事实,扩展语言的功能。对商务英语中复合形容词的研究具有较强的理论价值。本文试图从实用的角度出发,用词汇形态学的理论,采用归纳分析的方法研究商务英语中复合形容词的构词特点,并探讨其形态结构、语义等方面的规律。此外,研究商务英语的复合形容词还具有一定的现实意义,例如本文拟根据中国学生学习英语过程中词汇习得的特点,探讨本研究对商务英语复合形容词教学的启示。【关键词】：商务英语复合形容词形态结构教学启示
