Оглавление —> Словообразование —> Структура производных слов —> Структура составных слов —> Префиксы
Некоторые латинские и греческие приставки образуют слова с числами. Например: unison, octave, century. Есть префиксы, которые обозначают количество, размер и градацию. Например: microscope, ultrasound, hyperbole.
Префиксы могут обозначать место, позицию и отношение в прямом и переносном смысле. Таким префиксом является префикс “SUB -”, который образует большое количество слов. О значениях многих из них можно догадаться и без словаря.
В русском языке есть известные всем слова, которые начинаются с приставки “СУБ” или приставки “ПОД”, которые в английском языке начинаются с префикса “SUB-”.
Например:
С приставкой “суб”: субтропики, субподрядчик, субаренда, субмарина, субординация, субсидия, субтитр.
С приставкой “под”: подводный, подземный, подкожный, подсознательный, подводная лодка, подчиненный, подразделение, подзаголовок, подстанция.
Общее значение префикса “SUB-” — это ПОЛОЖЕНИЕ НИЖЕ какого либо уровня. Это положение может быть истолковано в прямом смысле — подземный или подводный, или положение ниже по статусу и чину. В переносном смысле префикс «SUB-» обозначает более мелкое подразделение в офисе, военном деле, незначительную степень, малое количество чего-либо; второстепенность, “второе” лицо в любых сделках.
