| g) Neutral, Common Literary and Common Colloquial Vocabulary.
Neutral words, which form the bulk of the English vocabulary, are used in both literary and colloquial language. Neutral words are the main source of synonymy and polysemy. It is the neutral stock of words that is so prolific in the production of new meaning. Most neutral words are of monosyllabic character, because in the process of development from Old English to Modern English, most of the parts of speech lost their distinctive suffixes. This phenomenon has led to the development of conversion as the most productive means of word-building. Word compounding is not as productive as conversion or word derivation, where a new word is formed because of a shift of the part of speech in the first case and by the addition of an affix in the second. Unlike all other groups, the neutral group of words cannot be considered as having a special stylistic coloring where as both literary and colloquial words have a definite stylistic closuring. Common literary words are chiefly used in writing. One can always tell a literary word from a colloquial word. This is especially apparent when pairs of synonyms, literary and colloquial can be formed which stand in antonymic relations. The following synonyms illustrate the relations that exist between the neutral, literary and colloquial words in the English language. Colloquial Neutral Literary kid child infant daddy father parent comfy comfortable commodious chap fellow associate get out go away retire go ahead continue proceed teenager boy (girl) youth (maiden) It goes without saying that these synonyms are not only stylistic but ideographic as well, i.e. there is a definite, though slight semantic difference between the words. But this is almost always the case with synonyms. There are very few absolute synonyms in 19 English just as there are in any language. The main distinction between synonyms remains stylistic. But stylistic difference may be of various kinds: it may lie in the emotional tension connoted in a word or in the sphere of application or in the degree of the quality denoted. Colloquial words are always more emotionally coloured than literary ones. The neutral stratum of words has no degree of emotiveness, nor have they any distinction in the sphere of usage. There is a certain analogy between the interdependence of common literary words and neutral ones, on the one hand, and common colloquial words and neutral words on the other. The neutral words may be regarded as an abstraction. Synonyms of neutral words, both colloquial and literary, assume a far greater degree of concreteness. жүктеу/скачать 0.64 Mb.
