二、简答题

第一课

1 ? What are the major branches of linguistics? What does each of them study?

Phonetics: The study of sounds used in linguistic communication .It describes individual speech sounds and indicates their physical or phonetic properties.

Phonology: It studies the ways in which these sounds form patterns and systems and how they work to convey meaning in the system of language?

Morphology: A field of linguistics focused on the study of the forms and formation of words in a language Syntax: A set of rules that govern how words are combined to form phrases and sentences?Pragmatics: the study of the use of language in a social context.

2.What characteristics of language do you think should be included in a good, comprehensive definition of language?

The important characteristics which should be included in a good definition of language are separately: systematic, arbitrary and vocal.

First of all, language is a system? It has its own set of rules for people to abide by, or people will use the language in a wrong way. Second, language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what the symbol stands for. The fact that different languages have different words for the same object is a good illustration of the arbitrary nature of language?Third, language is vocal because the primary medium for all languages is sou nd.

3.What are the main features of human language that have been specified by C.Hockett to show that it is essentially different from animal communication system?

1)Arbitrariness: no natural/motivated/logical relationship between the sign and what the sign stands for.

2)Productivity: provides opportunities for sending messages that have never been sent before and for understanding

novel messages.

3)Duality: language is a system, which consists of two sets of stuctures, or two levels.

4)Displacement: can be used to refer to things real or imagined, past, present or future

5)Cultural transmission

第二课

1.How do phonetics and phonology differ in their focus of study? Who do you think will be more interested in the different between say[i]and[i],[p] and[ph]9a phonetician or a philologist? Why?语咅学和音位学的研究中心有何不同?语音学家和音位学家哪一个更关心清晰音的区别?为什么?

Phonetics 一description of all speech sounds and their find differences.

Phonology ——description of sound systems of particular languages and how sounds function to distinguish meani ng.

A phonetician would be more interested in such differences cos such differences will not cos differences in meaning ?

2.What is phone? How is it different from a phoneme? how are allophones related to a phoneme?

Phone is a phonetic unit, it has no meaning.

Phoneme is a phonological unit with distinctive value ?

The phoneme /l/ can be realized as dark/l-/and clear/1/,which are allophones of the phoneme /l/ Allophones—

actual realization of a phoneme in different phonetic contexts.

第三课

1.Think of three morpheme suffixes, give their meaning and specify the types of stem they may be suffixed to. Give at least two examples of each.

Suffix: -ing

Meaning: denoting a verbal action, an instance of this, or its result

Stem tyDe: added to verbs

Examples: fighting: denote the action of battle

building: denote the action of construction

Suffix: -able

Meaning: able to be

Stem tyDe: added to verbs

Examples: avoidable: able to be prevented from

calculable: able to be measured or assessed

Suffix: -ist

Meaning: denoting a member of a profession or business activity

Stem type: added to nouns

Examples: dramatist: a person who writes plays

dentist: a person who treats the teeth disease

2.Think of three morpheme prefixes, give their meaning, and specify the types of stem they may be prefixed to. Give at least two examples of each.

1)prefix: un

meaning: denoting the absence of a quality or state; not

stem type: added to nouns

examples: unacademic: not adopting or characteristic of a scholarly approach or language unhappy: not

happy

2)prefix: anti

meaning: opposed to; against

stem type: added to nouns

examples: anti-abortion: opposing or legislating against medically induced abortion

anti-art: against the traditional art

3)prefix: re?

meaning:_once more; afresh; anew

stem type: added to verbs examples: restart: start once more

reaccustom: accustom (someone) to something again

第五课

1.What are the major types of synonyms in English?并举例

1)dialectal synonyms --- synonyms used in different regional

2)Stylistic synonyms: synonyms differing in style

3)Synonyms that differ in their emotive or evaluative meaning

4)Collocational synonyms: what words they go together with

5)Semantically different synonyms: differ from the words themselves

2.Explain with examples “homonymy”,“polysemy”,and “hyponymy”.

Homonymy: Homonymy refers to the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same form, i.e M

different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both. When two words are identical in sound, they are

homophones? When two words are identical in spelling, they are homographs? When tow words are identical in both sound and spelling, they are complete homonyms? The examples are as followed:

Homophones: rain/reign night/knight piece/peace

Homographs: bow v./bow n. tear v./tear n.

Complete homonyms: fast adj ./fast v?

Polysemy: while different words may have the same or similar meaning, the same one word may have more than one meaning? This is what we call polysemy, and such a word is called a polysemic word. The more commonly used a word is, the more likely it has acquired more than one meaning. For example, the word table has at least six meanings when we look it up in the dictionary:

1. a piece of furniture

2.all the people seated at a table

3.the food that is put on a table

4. a thin flat piece of stone, mental, wood, etc

5? orderly arrangement of facts, figures, etc

6. part of a machine-tool on which the work is put to be operated on

Hyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more general, more inclusive word and a more specific word? The word which is more general in meaning is called the superordinate, and the more specific words are called its hyponyms.

Hyponyms of the same superordinate are co-hyponyms to each other. For example,

Superordiante: flower Hyponyms: rose, tulip, carnation, lily, morning golory

第六课

1.What does pragmatics study? How does it differ from traditional semantics?

答:Generally speaking, pragmatics is the study of meaning in the context. It studies meaning in a dynamic way and as a process?In order to have a successful communication, the speaker and hearer must take the context into their consideration so as to effect the right meaning and intention. The development and establishment pragmatics in 1960s and 1970s resulted mainly from the expansion of the study semantics- However, it is different from the traditional semantics. The major difference between them lies in that pragmatics studies meaning in a dynamic way, while semantics studies meaning in a static way. Pragmatics takes context into consideration while semantics does not. Pragmatics takes care of the aspect of meaning that is not accounted for by semantics?

2.What are the five types of illocutionary speech acts Searle has specified? What is the illocutionary point of each type?

答:(1) representatives: stating or describing, saying what the speaker believes to be true

(2)directives: trying to get the hearer to do something

(3)commissives: committing the speaker himself to some future course of action

(4)expressives: expressing feelings or attitude towards an existing

(5)declarations: bringing about immediate changes by saying something

The illocutionary point of the representatives is to commit the speaker to something's being the case, to the truth of what has been said, in other words, when performing an illocutionary act of representative, the speaker is making a statement or giving a description which he himself believes to be true. Stating, believing, sweating, hypothesizing are among the most typical of the representatives.

Directives ate attempts by the speaker to get the hearer to do some- thing. Inviting, suggesting,

requesting, advising, wanting, threatening and ordering are all specific instances of this class?

Commissives are those illocutionary acts whose point is to commit the speaker to some future course of action, i.e. when speaking the speaker puts himself under a certain obligation. Promising, undertaking, vowing are the most typical

ones.

The illocutionaiy point of expressives is to express the psychological state specified in the utterance. The speaker is expressing his feelings or attitudes towards an existing state of affairs, e.g. apologizing, thanking, congratulating?The last class "declarations^ has the characteristic that the successful performance of an act of this type brings about the correspondence between what is said and reality?

3? What are the four maxims of the CP? Try to give your own examples to show how flouting these maxims gives rise to conversational implicature?

答:Cooperative Principle, abbreviated as CP. It goes as follows:

Make your conversational contribution such as required at the stage at which it occurs by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged?

To be more specific, there are four maxims under this general principle:

(1)The maxim of quantity

①Make your contribution as informative as required (for the current purpose of the exchange)?

②Do not make your contribution more informative than is required?

(2)The maxim of quality

①Do not say what you believe to be false.

②Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence?

(3)The maxim of relation

Be relevant.

(4)The maxim of manner

①Avoid obscurity of expression.

②Avoid ambiguity?

③Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity).

④Be orderly.

英语语言学复习总结

1、How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: linguistics is the scientific study of language. It is a scientific studies because it is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. In order to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system, what the linguist has to do first is to collect and observe language facts, which are found to display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them; then he formulates some hypotheses about the language structure. But the hypotheses, thus formed have to be checked repeatedly against the observed facts to fully prove their validity. In linguistics, as in any other discipline, data and theory stand in a dialectical complementation; that is, a theory without the support of data can hardly claim validity, and data without being explained by some theory remain a muddled mass of things. 2、The design/defining features of human language (Charles Hockett) (1) Arbitrariness ----No logical (motivated or intrinsic) connection between sounds and meanings. ----- No natural and inevitable link between the sound and the meaning Exception: Onomatopoeic words and Some compound words. (2) Productivity/creativity We can speak an endless number of sentences with a limited vocabulary and one sentence can expand into endless theoretically possible sentences in the way of recurring Exception: and bee dancing is used only to indicate food sources, which is the only kind of message that can be sent through the dancing. (3) Duality

Chapter 4 Phonology(音位学) 4.1 phonetics and phonology:语音学与音位学的区分 Both phonetics and phonology are concerned with speech.语音学和音位学都士对语音的研究。 定义区别 -Phonetics is a study of the production, perception and physical properties of speech sounds. 语音学是研究语音的生产、感知和物理性质的。 -Phonology studies how speech sounds are combined,organized,and convey meanings in particular languages.研究语音如何在在特定的语言中结合、组织和表达含义。 ---Phonology is language-specific.it is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.音位学是特定于语言的。它的研究对象是自然语言中的声音是如何组织和使用的。 ---Phonetics is a study of speech sounds while phonology is a study of the sound syst em of a language.语音学是一个研究语音的然后音位学是研究一种语言的声音系统的学科。 4.2 Phonemes,phones and allophones 音位、音子、音位变体 Different languages have different phonological systems.不同的语言有不同的语音系统。 定义: ①Phones are the smallest identifiable phonetic unit or segment found in a stream of speech. 音子就是在连续的发音中可辨认的最小语音单位或片段。 ②Allophones are the phones which represent a phoneme in a language and cannot change word meaning by substituting any of the set for another.音位变体是指代表语言中音位的音子,即使以一个取代另一个也不改变词义。 ③Phonemes are the minimal distinctive units in the sound system of a language.音位是语言系统中最小的独特的单位。 Allophones are the realization of a particular phoneme while phones are the realizatio n of phonemes in general.音位变体是一个特定音素的认知而音子则是一般的音素。 4.3Minimal pairs 最小对立体 The phonologist is concerned with what difference are significant or technically speaki ng, distinctive. Minimal pair---a pair of words which differ from each other by one sound. Three conditions(情况): 1)the two froms are different in meaning意义不同 2)the two forms are different in one sound segment声音片段不同 3)the different sounds occur in the same position of the two words.不同声音发生在两个单词的相同位置 Minimal set: a group of words can satisfy(满足)the three conditions . Minimal pairs help determine phonemes. 最小对立体用来定义音位。 4.4 identifying phonemes 识别音素 4.4.1 contrastive distribution,complementary distribution and free variation 对比分布,互补分布和自由变异 The distribution of a sound refers to the collective environments in which the sound concerned may appear.一个声音的分布是指其有关的声音可能出现的集体环境。 1)contrastive distribution对比分布 If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of on

英语语言学概论--整理汇编

Chapter 1 Language语言 1. Design feature (识别特征) refers to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication. 2. Productivity (能产性) refers to the ability that people have in making and comprehending indefinitely large quantities of sentences in their native language. 3. arbitrariness (任意性) Arbitrariness refers to the phenomenon that there is no motivated relationship between a linguistic form and its meaning. 4. symbol (符号) Symbol refers to something such as an object, word, or sound that represents something else by association or convention. 5. discreteness(离散性) Discreteness refers to the phenomenon that the sounds in a language are meaningfully distinct. 6. displacement (不受时空限制的特性) Displacement refers to the fact that human language can be used to talk about things that are not in the immediate situations of its users. 7. duality of structure (结构二重性) The organization of language into two levels, one of sounds, the other of meaning, is known as duality of structure. 8. culture transmission (文化传播) Culture transmission refers to the fact that language is passed on from one generation to the next through teaching and learning, rather than by inheritance. 9. interchangeability (互换性) Interchangeability means that any human being can be both a producer and a receiver of messages. 1. ★What is language? Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. This definition has captured the main features of language. First, language is a system. Second, language is arbitrary in the sense. The third feature of language is symbolic nature. 2. ★What are the design features of language? Language has seven design features as following: 1) Productivity. 2) Discreteness. 3) Displacement 4) Arbitrariness. 5) Cultural transmission 6) Duality of structure. 7) Interchangeability. 3. Why do we say language is a system? Because elements of language are combined according to rules, and every language contains a set of rules. By system, the recurring patterns or arrangements or the particular ways or designs in which a language operates.
