问题 How do you distinguish compounds from free phrases? Give examples to support your point.
选项
答案(1)Phonetic criterion—stress pattern. In a compound, the stress usually falls on the first element whereas in a free phrase the stress occurs on the second element, e. g. green hand/’gri:nhasnd/(compound) ,/gri:rihaend/(free phrase). (2)Semantic criterion. The meaning of a compound is generally different from the combination of the two elements whereas that of a free phrase is not, e. g. "red tape" as a compound means "bureaucracy", but as a free phrase it means "a tape that is red in colour". (3)Grammatical criterion. Each compound is a grammatical unit which is inseparable, so generally no changes should occur within it, e. g. "fine art" cannot be changed into "finer arts".
