在英语中,复合词(compound word)是由两个或两个以上的单词组合在一起,通过拼写和意义形成一个新词的词。这些单词可以是名词、动词、形容词或副词等。复合词可以是开放式的(open compounds),即中间有连字符连接,如"mother-in-law";闭合式的(closed compounds),即没有连字符,如"bookshelf";或者是半闭合式的(hyphenated compounds),即部分单词之间有连字符,如"mother-in-law"。
以下是一些复合词的例子:
Open compounds:
mother-in-law
brother-in-law
ice-cream
Closed compounds:
bookshelf
bedroom
computer
Hyphenated compounds:
mother-in-law
well-being
brother-in-law
复合词在英语中非常常见,它们能够表达更加具体和精确的概念。
