ABSTRACT

In modern chinese morphological processes are seldom used, and compound formations are the most common variety of word-formation, so relatively little attention is paid to derivation. In the last ten years, however, many new affixes,quasi-affixes, have appeared in chinese language as new words are incorporated. Re(熱), a suffix meaning ‘boom’, as in investment boom, in english, is a typical example, and in recent years it is becoming part of the common language. Typical affixes in chinese have several common characteristics, including;place-stabilizing, adhering, morpheme’s becoming empty, signing syntactical functions and morphological features that help determine a part of speech and inability to be used independently as words. Quasi-affixes are different in that their meaning is not as empty as a typical affix and they can be combined with a phrase, a word or a morpheme. In this regard, it is plausible to claim that the quasi-affix is categorized between a root and a typical affix. This article discusses and inspects the nature and category of ‘x re’ with respect to the standard definition and characteristics of quasi-affixes in modern chinese. The second chapter introduces the nature and characteristics of the quasi-affix ‘re’ and verifies why ‘re’ is considered a quasi-affix. The third chapter analyzes the structure and the meaning of ‘x re’ and also discusses the specific usages of ‘x re’ that reflect the various cultures of china.
