和ling有关的事物

后缀-ling 有多种来源,来源于日耳曼语、中古英语和古英语,属于名词,形容词,副词后缀,一般构成人称名词,带有轻蔑意味,比 -let 感情更强烈;另外,它也出现于一些动植物名称,表示“小”,不具有构造新词能力,如:seedling 小苗、catling 小猫、duckling 小鸭。当此后缀属于形容词或副词后缀时,表示“状态”,例如:darkling

在黑暗中的、sideling 倾斜地,偏于一边的。

英文词源:diminutive word-forming element, early 14c., from Old

English -ling a nominal suffix (not originally diminutive), from

Proto-Germanic *-linga-; attested in historical Germanic languages as a

simple suffix, but probably representing a fusion of two suffixes: 1. that

represented by English -le (thimble, handle), from Old English -ol, -ul, -el,

representing PIE *-lo- (see -ule); and 2. -ing, suffix indicating "person or

thing of a specific kind or origin;" in masculine nouns also "son of"

(farthing, atheling, Old English horing "adulterer, fornicator"), from PIE

*-(i)ko- (see -ic).

Both these suffixes had occasional diminutive force, but this was only

slightly evident in Old English -ling and its equivalents in Germanic

languages except Norse, where it commonly was used as a diminutive

suffix, especially in words designating the young of animals (such as

gæslingr "gosling"). Thus it is possible that the diminutive use that

developed in Middle English is from Old Norse.
