Study Notes
Postfixes
- Postfixes are used in the formation of pronoun words like "whoever", "somewhere", and "something".
- Postfixes contribute to expressing syntactic relationships between words (word forms).
- Examples of postfix usage:
- "ся1" - used to form passive voice forms of imperfective verbs: "The palace is being built by the masters."
- " -ся2" - used in impersonal forms of personal verbs: "Can't sleep".
- " -те" - used in the imperative of joint action: "Let's go."
Interfix
- An interfix is a morpheme that connects two other morphemes, usually word roots.
- It doesn't have a separate meaning, but serves to connect them.
- Example: In the word "agriculture," the interfix "-le-" connects the roots "earth-" and "-deal-".
- Interfixes are often used to form complex words.
Connecting Vowels
- Connecting vowels (interfixes), unlike affixes, always have only a word-building function.
- They are only distinguished in a complex derivative base.
- They do not have meaning but perform a connective function in complex words.
Zemskaya's Definition of Interfixes
- According to E.A. Zemskaya, interfixes are word parts that do not have independent meaning and serve as structural elements of the language.
- Their function consists in connecting morphemes within a word.
Connecting Elements in Complex Words
- Connecting elements of complex words "-а-", "-и-", "-у-", "-ух-", "-ех-" arose in place of flexional morphemes, primarily endings of the genitive case of numerals (forty-a-year-old, seven-i-mile, two-u-member, two-uh-meter, three-eh-storey).
