Negative prefixes in Spanish
Journal Title: Львівський філологічний часопис - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
he article deals with the basic prefixes of the Spanish language, which, in addition to the negative, convey other meanings that are included in the circle of the negation meaning, for example: opposites, contrasts, perivativity, etc. Contradictory prefixes denote the opposite property (anormal, ilegal), lack of action, essence, quality (analfabético, ilegible), inversion of some action or previous situation (deshacer, desordenar).The specified prefixes deny a certain semantic feature of the creature basis in such a way that the created morphological unity contains the opposed value to the first one. Among the negative and the privilege we note the prevalence in youth jargon: a– (acojonar – asustar, amelonarse ← melón – enamorarse, atontarse – volverse tonto, amorcillarse – volverse obeso, aplatanarse – estar en un lugar inactivo); anti– (antibaby, antiaborto, antidroga, antisida; antitrabajadores); des– (descocarse – no pensar, despechugarse – abrir el pecho, desnudarlo, desmelenarse – perder las inhibiciones, descojonarse, desengancharse – dejar de usar droga); im‐, in– (impepinable – indudable). Negative prefixes are divided into: opposite, contradictory, and negative, separately we distinguish self‐ denial, prefixes with negative connotations and values of depression / incompleteness etc. An overview of the prefixes we have selected with different shades of values within the scope of the negative (denial, opposition, exclusion, privacy, inferiority, restriction, negative connotation, etc.) does prove that the semantics of the objection can not be qualified as homogeneous and limited in the interpretation, but instead, additionally due to the morphological productivity of the Spanish language and the creativity of native speakers.
