What are the five basic word formation in Chinese?

Chinese word formation is the way that Chinese morphemes form words. The main word-formation types in Chinese are compound words, and a few types are derivatives, abbreviations and compound words.

The types of synthesis methods include:

Parallel, such as: dynamic and static.

Formal, like autumn.

Statement, such as: confidence

Dominant, such as dehydration

Derivation: it is to add the prefix and suffix to form words, such as tiger and table.

Abbreviation: it is the abbreviation of words, strike hard, cultural revolution, three evils and so on.

Extended data:

Word formation of compound words can be divided into seven categories:

1, combined type: composed of two roots that are the same, similar, related or opposite. For example: sucking, friends, beautiful women, wives, talking, forgetting and exercising.

1. Deviation type: two roots are on the right side, the former root is modified and the latter root is divided into medium and morphological. For example: ivory and parallel bars; Snow White, yuck.

3. Chinese complement type: the back root complements the front root, and its meaning is mainly the front root. The previous action follows the table, and the last word represents the result, for example, expansion and enlargement. The former root means things, and the latter root means units, such as books and poems.

4. Verb-object type: the former root indicates the action behavior, and the latter root indicates the object dominated and associated by the action. For example: weightlifting, mobilization and contraction.

5. Subject-predicate type: the former root indicates the content of the statement, and the latter root indicates the former root. For example: earthquake, distressed, state-run, the moon.

6. Linkage: It consists of two etymons representing sequential actions. For example: visiting and investigating.

7. Overlapping type: formed by overlapping two identical roots. For example, brother, just now, often, greatly.
