    Согласно нашей аналитике, студенты Lingualeo довольно часто выбирают курс по Словообразованию. У вас хороший вкус, друзья! 🙂 Ведь знать, как именно создаются новые слова, вычленять английские приставки и суффиксы – значит бесконечно расширить свой словарный запас и начать понимать саму логику языка.

    Поэтому предлагаю посвятить ряд статей словообразованию английских слов. Конкретно сегодня мы обсудим самые распространенные префиксы.

    40 английских приставок

    На всякий случай уточню: префикс – то же самое, что и приставка.

    В качестве предисловия: словообразование в английском языке

    Новые слова в любом языке создаются из уже имеющихся элементов (слова и их основы, приставки и суффиксы) по существующим моделям словообразования.

    Так, в русском языке довольно продуктивная модель образования уменьшительно-ласкательных слов при помощи суффиксов -ok-, -ик-, -очк- и др.

    Дом – домик, гном – гномик, плот – плотик и т.д.

    Такой способ называется аффиксацией (образование слов с использованием приставок и/или суффиксов).

    Самыми продуктивными способами словообразования в английском языке являются:

    • аффиксация: peace  (сущ. мир) => peaceful (прил. мирный),
    • словосложение: bedroom = bed + room,
    • конверсия (переход из одной части речи в другую: hand => to hand).

    Зная особенности каждого из этих способов, ты сможешь интуитивно понимать незнакомые слова (если в них есть хоть какой-то знакомый элемент) и создавать новые слова на базе единиц, имеющихся в твоем словарном запасе.

    Какие бывают приставки в английском языке

    Образование новых слов при помощи приставок – очень продуктивный способ в английском языке. Приставка привносит в смысл слова новое или дополнительное значение. Например, отрицательная приставка отменяет / противопоставляет и т.д. то, что названо в корне слова: красивый – некрасивый, attractive – unattractive.

    Отмечу ряд особенностей английского языка, в сравнении с русским:

    • В русском языке приставки никогда не меняют часть речи, а лишь добавляют слову новое значение (бежать – отбежать – забежать), тогда как в английском языке некоторые приставки способны создавать слово другой части речи: robe – to disrobe (халат – раздеться), wit – to outwit (остроумие – перехитрить).
    • Там, где наши глаголы для создания дополнительного значения используют приставки, английские глаголы могут использовать предлоги, как часть фразового глагола: идти – войти – выйти; to go – to go in – to go out.

    Полезная статья по теме: Учим фразовые глаголы английского языка: эмоции

    Теперь рассмотрим виды приставок в английском языке и правила их использования. Пойдем по логике, предложенной в нашем курсе:

    • отдельно рассмотрим отрицательные префиксы,
    • затем поговорим об интернациональных приставках (они есть в разных языках),
    • а потом о приставках сугубо английских.

    Отрицательные приставки в английском языке

    В английском языке их о-о-очень много, и использоваться они могут со словами абсолютно любых частей речи. Какие-либо правила использования есть далеко не у каждой приставки, к тому же ни одно правило не застраховано от исключений…

    Поэтому рецепт грамотности таков: учим английские приставки (с примерами и правилами использования), но периодически проверяем интересующее слово в словаре 🙂

    Отрицательные префиксы английского

    anti- (= анти, против)

    Эта приставка, как правило, присоединяется к слову через дефис:

    anti-abortion (против абортов), anti-fascism (антифашизм).

    Но есть большое количество исключений:

    antisocial (антиобщественный), antihero (антигерой), antivirus (антивирус)

    dis- (= не, пере, без)

    Приставка dis- чаще всего употребляется:

    • с прилагательными и причастиями: disadvantageous (невыгодный); disorganized (неорганизованный); disloyal (нелояльный), disagreeable (противный, неприятный);
    • со словами, начинающимися с произносимой -h-: disharmonious (негармоничный), disheartened (унылый); dishonest (нечестный);
    • c некоторыми словами, начинающимися с согласной: dispassionate (бесстрастный), disrespectful (неуважительный);
    • c существительными и глаголами: to dissatisfy (не удовлетворять), disability (инвалидность), to disappear (исчезать), displacement (перестановка, смещение).

    contra- (= против/о)

    to contradict (противопоставлять), contraband (контрабанда), contralateral (контралатеральный)

    de-/di- (=убрать, отменить)

    to deregulate (отменять регулирование), to devalue (девальвировать), to debug (отладить).

    in- (= не, без)

    Чаще всего употребляется:

    • перед сочетанием букв -ас-: inaccurate (неточный); inactive (неактивный);
    • перед согласным -с-: incoherent (бессвязный); incapable (неспособный).

    Исключения: informal (неформальный); inarticulate (невнятный).

    il- (= не)

    Употребляется со словами, начинающимися с согласного -l-. Правило действует практически без исключений, поскольку носителю языка так гораздо легче – использовать приставку, созвучную началу корня слова.

    illegal (нелегальный), illogical (нелогичный); illegible (неразборчивый)

    im- (= не)

    Используется со словами, начинающимися на -p- по тому же принципу, что и предыдущий пример. Дело в том, что артикуляционно звуки -m- и -p- образуются довольно похоже, поэтому произносить сочетание -mp- довольно легко:

    impolite (невежливый); impersonal (безличный), impossible (невозможно).

    Также используется со словами, начинающимися с -m-:

    immature (незрелый)  immodest (нескромный)

    ir- (= не)

    Употребляется со словами, начинающимися на -r-:

    irregular (нерегулярный), irresponsible (безответственный); irreplaceable (незаменимый).

    ig- (= не)

    ignoble (неблагородный)

    mal- (= плохо, неправильно)

    malpractice (неправильное профессиональное поведение), maladjusted (неприспособленный).

    mis- (= неправильно, ошибочно, неверно)

    misfortune (неудача), to misspeak (говорить с ошибками), to misdial (набрать неправильный номер)

    non- (= не, без)

    Может употребляться как с дефисом: non-profit (бесприбыльный, некоммерческий), так и без него: nonsacred (несвященный).

    un- (= не)

    Очень распространенная приставка. Чаще всего она употребляется:

    • перед гласными в прилагательных и причастиях: unequal (неравный), unusable (непригодный);
    • перед согласными: undesirable (нежелательный), unhappy (несчастный), unwelcoming (недружелюбный);
    • при добавлении к глаголам приставка un- обычно меняет их смысл на противоположный: to unchain (освобождать), to unlock (отпереть, открыть).

    under- (= недо, недостаточно)

    underpaid (мало оплачиваемый, недоплаченный), underdeveloped (недоразвитый)

    Интернациональные префиксы в английском языке

    Эти приставки ты можешь встретить в разных языках, в том числе в русском. Происходит это потому, что языки заимствуют слова друг у друга или из общего источника – латыни.

    Английские приставки из латыни

    auto- (=авто, само)

    autobiography (автобиография), automatic (автоматический), autonomy (автономия)

    bi- (=два)

    bipolar (двухполярный), bicycle (велосипед) , biped (двуногий)

    co- (=со)

    to cooperate (сотрудничать), to cohabit (сожительствовать).

    international (международный), interpenetrate (взаимопроникают)

    multi- (=много)

    multinational (многонациональный), multicultural (многокультурный), multistorey (многоэтажный)

    post- (=после)

    postnatal (послеродовой), postscript (приписка после текста)

    super- (=супер, сверх)

    supermarket (супермаркет), superstar (суперзвезда)

    trans- (=транс, через)

    transatlantic (трансатлантический), transform (трансформация)

    uni- (=уни)

    uniform (униформа), unisex (унисекс)

    Что означают приставки в английском

    Чисто английские приставки уже не увидишь в русском языке. Точнее сказать, мы можем встретить заимствованное слово с ними (например, online с приставкой on-). Но эта приставка не будет продуктивной для нашего языка (то есть она не участвует в образовании новых русских слов).

    Приставки, не заимствованные из других языков

    by- (=попутно, рядом с…)

    byproduct (побочный продукт), byroad (объездная, проселочная дорога)

    con-/com-/-col-/cor- (=с, вместе)

    conjunction (соединение), to commingle (смешивать), colleague (коллега), correlation (корреляция)

    down- (вниз, совершенно)

    download (скачать), downpour (ливень)

    for- (=прочь, наоборот)

    to forget (забыть), to forswear (отрекаться)

    fore- (=перед)

    forearm (предплечье), forefathers (предки)

    forth- (=вперёд)

    forthcoming (грядущий), forthright (прямолинейный)

    in- (=внутрь, внутри)

    Это омонимическая приставка отрицательной in-. Пример: input (внутрь).

    male- (=злой)

    malevolence (недоброжелательность), malediction (проклятие)

    off- (=прочь, отдельно)

    offcenter (смещённый с центра), offline (неподключенный)

    on- (=в процессе)

    online (онлайн, на связи), oncoming (приближающийся)

    out- (=более чем, вне, наружу)

    to outperform (превзойти), outboard (подвесной)

    over- (=пере, «слишком много»)

    Слова с приставкой over: to oversleep (проспать), to overcome (преодолеть)

    re- (=снова, пере)

    to rewrite (переписать), rerun (повторный показ)

    Разумеется, это не все приставки английского языка, а лишь наиболее распространенные.
