问题 "Omnibus, earthquake, discotheque" are replaced by "bus, quake, disco’ respectively in the way of

选项 A、conversion.
B、clipping.
C、blending.
D、backformation.

答案B

解析 本题考查构词法。短截法(clipping)是构词法的一种,是指略去单词的一个或多个音节形成的新词,一般用于名词,例如:television=tele等,这与题干中的构词方法一致。转换(conversion)是指由一类词转换为另一类词,一般词义不变,只改变词性,故又称为功能转换(functional shift/zero derivation)。混成法(blending)是将两个词的意义与读音合并产生新的词,如newscast=news broadcast, brunch=breakfast+ lunch。逆成法(back-formation)是将现有某个较长的单词中貌似词缀的部分去掉,形成新的单词,例如, baby-sitter=baby-sit,这与派生法(derivation)构词过程相反。
