在英语语言运用中,人们为了在表达上力求标新立异,新奇醒目,幽默诙谐而变换现成词语的某些词素或仿照原有的同类词而临时创造出一些新词汇,这种为某种特殊需要而临时构词的方法称为Nonce Formations,创造出的词称为nonce words或coined terms。由于这些新词汇尚未被词典收录,我们在理解时就会存在一定的困难。如果我们能熟悉这些nonce words产生的渊源及作者杜撰这些新词语的真实意图,并结合一定的上下文,就可以更清楚地理解这些新词语的内涵及其修辞效果。
In the application of English language, people try to find some new and unique words in order to express their unconventional, novel and eye-catching humorous humor and transform some morphemes of ready-made words or imitate the original similar words to create some new words temporarily. The method of temporary word building is called Nonce Formations and the words created are called nonce words or coined terms. As these new words have not been included in the dictionary, we understand there will be some difficulties. If we are familiar with the origins of these nonce words and the authors’ real intention of inventing these new words, combined with certain contexts, we can understand the connotations and rhetorical effects of these new words more clearly.
