【二、简答题】
1 Morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are considered to be free. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. 2 1) crybaby;
2) sit-in;
3) law-abiding;
4) outbreak;
5) bitter-sweet 3 Radiation is a semantic process in which the primary meaning stands at the center and the secondary meanings proceed out of it in every direction like rays. The meanings are independent of one another. 4 The word hard in this context can mean both “hardworking^ and "difficult” The context fails to narrow down the meaning so that it is difficult for the reader to decide what exactly the speaker means. When a word with multiple meanings is used in inadequate context, it creates ambiguity.
【三、论述题】
1 Apart from their conceptual meanings, many words have stylistic features, which make them appropriate for different contexts. These distinctive features form the stylistic meanings of words. In some dictionaries, these stylistic features are clearly marked as “formal”, “informal”, “literary”, “archaic”, “slang” and so on.
This stylistic difference is especially true of synonyms. It is observed that there are few words which have both the same conceptual meaning and the stylistic meaning. Domicile is “very formal” or “official”，residence “formal”，abode “poetic”，and home “general” 2 Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. Pairs of antonyms are seen as marked and unmarked terms respectively. In many pairs we find that one member is more specific than the other and the meaning of the specific is included in that of the general.
Take tall/short for example. Short is more restricted in use than tall. So far as the meaning is concerned, sentence (1) includes the meaning of sentence (2). The use of tall doesn't exclude the possibility of his brother being very short. But sentence (2) is much more restricted in sense and is considered semantically abnormal unless the speaker is particularly interested in the shortness of his brother or curious enough to find out how short his brother is.

1 Terminology consists of technical terms used in particular disciplines and academic areas. 2 Compounding is the formation of new words by joining two or more stems. 3 Homonyms are generally defined as words different in meaning but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling. 4 In a narrow sense, context refers to the words, clauses, sentences in which a word appears. This is known as linguistic context. 5 Phrasal verbs are idioms which are composed of a verb plus a prep. and/ or a particle.
