摘要：This article attempts to establish the identity of the English category-changing affix en , which functions both as a prefix and as a suffix and to give a principled explanation for its peculiar behavior within the framework of Lexical Phonology proposed by Halle and Mohanan 1985. It is first demonstrated that en is a class I affix. It is also argued that en is basically a suffix and that the prefix en - is derived by the application of the general rule Copy-α. Finally, by adopting the copying analysis, a principled account is given for the non-assimilation of /N/ in cases like enlarge and enrich .
