一绪论

1 Linguisitics : Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language

2 Phonetics : The study of sounds which are used in linguistics communication is called phonetics.For example,vowels and consonants

1 Phonetics: The study of sounds that are used in linguistic communication is called phonetics.

2 Phonology: The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology.

3 Phone: Phone can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speaking a language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segement. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning; some do,some don’t.

4 Phoneme: Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning. The basic unit in phonology is called phoneme;it is a unit that is of distinctive value.

5 allophone: The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the allophones of that phoneme.

6 Complementary distribution: These two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in complementary distribution.

7 Minimal pair: When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segement which occurs in the same place in the stings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair.

8 Stress: When a certain syllable of a word is stressed, it means that the syllable is prounced with great force than the other or others.

9 tones: Tones are pitch variation, which are caused by the different rates of vibration of the vocal cords. Pitch variations can distinguish meaning just like phoneme;

therefore, the tone is a suprasegemental feature.

10 intonation: When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. Intonation plays an important role in conveying meaning in almost every language,especially in a language like English{$isbest}

三形态学

1 morphology: Morphology is a branch of grammer which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed.

2 inflectional morphology: Inflectional morphology studies the inflections of word-formation.

3 derivational morphology: Derivational morphology is the study of word-formation.

4 morpheme: Morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of language.

5 free morpheme: Free morpheme are the morphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselces or in combination with other morphemes.

6 bound morpheme: Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word.

7 root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it bears clear,definite meaning; it must be combined with another root or an affix to form

a word.

8 affix: Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational.

9 prefix: Prefix occur at the beginning of a word.

10 suffix: Suffixes are added to the end of the stems; they modify the meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech.

11 derivation: Derivation affixes are added to an existing form to creat a word.Derivation can be viewed as the adding of affixes to stem to form nes words.

12 compounding: Like derivation, compounding is another popular and important way of forming new words in English. Compounding can be viewed as the combination of two or sometimes more than two words to creat new words. {$isbest}

四句法学

1 linguistic competence: Comsky defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language,and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication.

2 sentence : A sentence is a structurally independent unit that usually comprises a number of words to form a complete statement question or command.

3 transformation rules: Syntactic movement is governed by transformational rules. The operation of the transformational rules may change the syntactic representation of a sentence.

4 D-structure : A sentence may have two levels of syntactic representation. One exists before movement take place, the other occurs after movement take place. In formal linguistic exploration, these two syntactic representation are commonly termed as D-structure.

5 Move а : Just as there is a general rule for all phrase structure rules,i,e. the X-bar schema, there is a general movement rule accounting for the syntactic behavior of any constituent movement. This movement rule is called Move а

五语义学

1 semantics: Semantics can be simply defined as the study of meaning in language.

2 sense : Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form; it is abstract and decontextualized.

3 reference : Reference means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience.

4 synonymy : Synonymy refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonymy.

5 polysemy : Polysemy refers to the fact that the same one word may have more than one meaning.A word having more than one meaning is called a polysemic word.

6 antonymy : Antonymy refers to the oppositeness of meaning. Words that are opposite in meaning are called antonyms.

7 homonymy :Homonymy refers to the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same form,i.e. different words are identical in sound or spelling, or

8 hyponymy : Hyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more general, more inclusive word and a more specific word.

9 componential analysis : Componential analysis is a way to analyze wprd meaning. It was proposed by structural semanticists.

10 grammatical meaning : The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality,i.e. its grammatical well-formedness. The grammaticality of asentence is governed by the grammatical rules of the language.

11 semantic meaning : The semantic meaning of a sentence is governed by rules called selectional restrictions.

12 predication : In semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is called predication. The predication is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence.

六语用学

1 pragmatics: Pragmatics can be defined as the study of how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication.

2 context: The notion of context is essential to the pragmatic study of language. Generally speaking, it consists of the knowledge that is shared by the speaker and the hearer.

3 utterance meaning: Utterance is based on sentence meaning; it is realization of the abstract meaning of a sentence in a real situation of communication, or simply in a

4 locutionary act: A locutionary act is the act of utterance words,phrases,clauses. It is the act of conveying literal meaning by means of syntax, lexion and phonology.

5 illocutionary act: An illocutionary act is the act expressing the speaker’s intention; It is the act performed in saying something.

6 perlocutionary act:A illocutionary act is the act performed by or resulting from saying something: it is the consequence of, or the change brought about by the utterance; it is the act performed by saying something.

3 epenthesis: A change that involves the insertion of a consonant or vowel sound to the middle of a word is known as epenthesis.

4 metathesis: Sound change as a result of sound movement is known as metathesis.

5 compounding: Compounding is a process of combining two or more words into one lexical unit.

6 derivation: Derivation refers to the process by which new words are formed by the addition of affixes to the roots.

7 blending: Blending is a process of forming a new word by combining parts of other words.

8 back-formation: Back-formation is a process by which new words are formed by taking away the suffix of an existing word.

9 semantic broadening: Semantic broadening refers to the process in which the meaning of a word becomes general or inclusive than its historically earlier denotation..

10 semantic narrowing: Semantic narrowing is a process in which the meaning of

a word becomes less general or inclusive than its historically earlier meaning.

11 semantic shift: Semantic shift is a process of semantic change in which a word loses its former meaning and acquire a new, sometimes related, meaning.

12 protolanguage: It refers to a family of a language.

A protolanguage is the original form of a language family that has ceased to exist.The proto form can be reconstructed by identifying and comparing similar linguistic forms with similar meanings across related languages.

13 sound shift: It refers to the systematic modification of a series of phonemes. {$isbest}

八社会语言学

2 speech community: A speech community is thus defined as a group of people who form a community and share the same language or a particular variety of language.

3 speech variety: Speech variety, also known as language variety, refers to any distinguishable form of speech used by a speaker or group of speakers.

4 language planning: One way out of the communication dilemma is language standardization known as language planning. This means that certain authorities, such as the government or government agency of a country, choose a particular speech variety and spread the use of it, including its pronunciation and spelling system, across regional boundaries.

5 idiolect: Such a personal dialect is refered to as idiolect.

6 standard language: The standard language is a superposed, socially prestigious dialect of language. It is the language employed by the government and the judiciary system,used by the mass media.

7 nonstandard language: Language varieties other than the standard are called nonstandard, or vernacular, languages.

8 lingua franca: A lingua franca is a variety of language that serves as a medium of communication among groups of people for diverse linguistic backgrounds.

9 pidgin: A pidgin is a variety of language that is generally used by native speakers of other languages as a medium of communication.

10 Creole: A Creole language is originally a pidgin that has become established as

a native language in some speech communication.

11 diglossia: Diglossia usually describes a situation in which two very different varieties of language co-exist in a speech communication, each with a distinct range of purely social function and appropriate for certain situations.

12 bilingualism: Bilingualism refers to a linguistic situation in which two standard languages are used either by an individual or by a group of speakers, such as the inhabitants of a particular region or a nation.

13 ethic dialect: An ethnic language variety is a social dialect of a language ,often cutting across regional differences.

14 sociolect: Social dialect, or sociolects, are varieties of language used by people belonging to particular social classes.

15 register: Registers are language varieties which are appropriate for use in particular speech situations, in contrast to language varieties that are associated with the social or regional grouping of their customary users. For that reason, registers are also known as situational dialects.

16 slang: Slang is a causal use of language that consists of expressive but nonstandard vocabulary, typically of arbitrary, flashy and often ephemeral coinage and figure of speech characterized by spontaneity and sometimes by raciness.

17 tabo A linguistic taboo refers to a word or expression that is prohibited by the “polite” society from general use.

18 euphemism: Euphemism comes from the Greek word euphemismos, meaning “to speak with good words”. A euphemism, then ,is mild, indirect or less offensive word or expression substitute when the speaker or writer fears more direct wording might be harsh, unpleasantly direct, or offensive.

九心理语言学

1 psycholinguistics:Psycholinguistics is the study of language in relation to the mind. As the suggests, psycholinguistics is viewed as the intersection of psychology and linguistics, drawing equally upon the language we acquire, produce and comprehend.

2 cerebral cortex: The most important part of the brain is the outside surface of the brain, called the cerebral cortex.

3 brain lateralization: The localization of cognitive of cognitive and percpetual functions in a particular hemisphere of the brain is called lateralization.

4 linguistic lateralization: In their research of brain lateralization, psycholinguistics are particulary interested in linguistic lateralization, which is the brain’s neurological specialization for language.

5 dichotic listening: Evidence in support of lateralization for language in the left hemisphere comes from researches in dichotic listening tasks

6 right ear advantage: Stimuli heard in the left ear are reported less accurately than those heard in the right car. This phenomenon is knowas the right ear advantage.

7 critical period hypothesis: The critical period hypothesis refers to a period in one’s life extending from about age two to pub erty during which the human

brain is most ready to acquire a particular language and language learning can proceed easily, swiftly and without explicit instruction.

8 linguistic determinism: Whorf proposed first that all higher levels of thinking are dependent on language. That is, language determines thought, hence the strong notion of linguistic determinism.

9 linguistic relativism: Whorf also believed that speakers of different language perceive and experience the world differently, that is, relative to their linguistic background, hence the notion

10 subvocal speech: When language and thought are identical or closely parallel to each other, we may regard thought as “subvocal speech”.

of linguistic relativism.

十语言习得

1 language acquisition: Language acquisition is concerned with language development in humans. In general, language acquisition refers to children’s development of their first language, that is, the native language of the community in which a child has been brought up.

2 telegraphic speech: The early multiword utterance of children have a special characteristic. They typically lack inflectional morphemes and most minor lexical categories. Because of their resemblance to the styly of language found in telegrams, utterance at this acquisition stage are often called telegraphic speech.

3 holophrastic sentence: Children’s one-word utterance are also called

holophrastic sentences.

4 acquisition: According to Krashen,acquisition refers to the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicative situations.

5 learning: Learning, however, is defined as a conscious process of accumulating knowledge of a second language usually obtained in school settings.

6 language transfer: Learners will subconsciously use their L1 knowledge in learning a second language. This is known as language transfer.

7 positive transfer: Presumably, positive transfer occurs when an L1 pattern is identical with, or similar to, a target-language pattern.

8 negative transfer: Conversely, negative transfer occurs when an L1 pattern is different from the counterpart pattern of the target language.

9 contrastive analysis: The Contrastive Analysis approach was founded on the belief that, by establishing the linguistic differences between the native and target language system, it was possible to predict what problems learners of a particular second language would face and the types of errors they would make.

10 interlanguage: SLA is viewed as a process of creative construction, in which a learner constructs a series of internal representations that comprises the learner’s interim knowledge of the target language, known as interlanguage.

11 formal instruction: Formal instruction occurs in classrooms when attempts are made to raise learner’s consciousness about the nature of target language rules in order to aid learning.

12 instrumental motivation: Thus, instrumental motivation occurs when the learner’s goal is functional.

13 integrative motivation: Inte grative motivation occurs when the learner’s goal is social.

14 acculturation: A related issue with integrative motivation has been the extent to which learners differ in the process of adapting to the new culture of the 12community. This adaptation process is called acculturation.

名词解释 https://www.doczj.com/doc/302047026.html,petence and Performance: The distinction is discussed by the American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s. Competence----the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language. Performance----the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. (American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s proposed the distinction between competence and performance. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language. This internalized set of rules enables the language user to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences and recognize sentences that are ungrammatical and ambiguous. According to Chomsky, performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. Although the speaker’s knowledge of his mother tongue is perfect, his performances may have mistakes because of social and psychological factors such as stress, embarrassment, etc.. Chomsky believes that what linguists should study is the competence, which is systematic, not the performance, which is too haphazard. ) 2.Sociolinguistics: is the sub-field of linguistics that studies the relation between language and society, between the uses of language and the social structures in which the users of language live.( It is a field of study that assumes that human society is made up of many related patterns and behaviors, some of which are linguistic.) https://www.doczj.com/doc/302047026.html,nguage Acquisition: refers to t he child’s acquisition of his mother tongue, i.e. how the child comes to understand and speak the language of his community. (Language acquisition is concerned with language development in humans. In general, language acquisition refers to children’s devel opment of their first language, that is, the native language of the community in which a child has been brought up.) 4.the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is a theory put forward by the American anthropological linguists Sapir and Whorf (and also a belief held by some scholars). It states that the way people view the world is determined wholly or partly by the structure of their native language. (2) The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis consists of two parts, i.e. linguistic determinism and relativism. Whorf proposed first that all higher levels of thinking are dependent on language. Or put it more bluntly, language determines thought, i.e. the notion of linguistic determinism. Because languages differ in many ways, Whorf also believed that speakers of different languages perceive and experience the world differently, i.e. relative to their linguistic background, hence the notion of linguistic relativism. 5.Phrase structure rule: The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule, such as: NP →(Det) + N +(PP)……e.g. those people, the fish on the plate, pretty girls. VP →(Qual) + V + (NP)……e.g. always play games, finish assignments. AP →(Deg) + A + (PP)……very handsome, very pessimistic, familiar with, very close to PP →(Deg) + P + (NP)……on the shelf, in the boat, quite near the station.

传播学几个重点名词解释

传播学重点名词 一、拟态环境(李普曼《公众舆论》) 早在20世纪20年代,美国著名政论家李普曼就在其所著的《公众舆论》一书中,论及拟态环境问题。并首次使用“Pseudo-environment”一词。拟态环境有如下特点:一方面,拟态环境不是现实环境“镜子式”的摹写,不是“真”的客观环境,或多或少与现实环境存在偏离。另一方面,拟态环境并非与现实环境完全割裂,而是以现实环境为原始蓝本。李普曼认为,在大众传播极为发达的现代社会,人们的行为与三种意义上的“现实”发生着密切的联系:一是实际存在着的不以人的意志为转移的“客观现实”,二是传播媒介经过有选择地加工后提示的“象征性现实”(即拟态环境),三是存在于人们意识中的“关于外部世界的图像”,即“主观现实”。人们的“主观现实”是在他们对客观现实的认识的基础上形成的,而这种认识在很大程度上需要经过媒体搭建的“象征性现实”的中介。经过这种中介后形成的“主观现实”,已经不可能是对客观现实“镜子式”的反映,而是产生了一定的偏移,成为了一种“拟态”的现实。 二、把关人(库尔特·卢因) “把关人”理论是由美国社会心理学家、传播学四大先驱之一的卢因率先提出的。他在《群体生活的渠道》(1947年)一文中,首先提出“把关”(gate keeping)一词。他指出:“信息总是沿着含有门区的某些渠道流动,在那里,或是根据公正无私的规定,或是根据‘守门人’的个人意见,对信息或商品是否被允许进入渠道或继续在渠道里流动做出决定。”“信息传播网络中布满了把关人。”他认为在群体传播过程式中,存在着一些把关人,只有符合群体规范或把关人价值标准的信息内容才能进入传播的渠道。1950年,传播学者怀特将社会学中的这个概念引入新闻传播,发现在大众传播的新闻报道中,传媒组织成为实际中的"把关人",由他们对新闻信息进行取舍,决定哪些内容最后与受众见面。从此,新闻选择的"把关人"理论从人们的不自觉行为成为大众传媒组织的有意操作,在更大范围和程度上或明或暗的影响新闻实践。经怀特、麦克内利等众多学者的深入挖掘研究,最终成为传播学控制分析领域最具科学性的理论之一。 三、传播效果的魔弹论和皮下注射论 媒介本身被认为是根据媒介和媒介内容的控制者的意志,以强大的力量去形成舆论和信念、改变人们的生活习惯并指导人们的行为(Bauer and Bauer,1960)。核心观点,传播媒介拥有不可抵抗的强大力量,它们所传递的信息在受传者身上就像子弹击中躯体,药剂注入皮肤一样,可以引起直接速效的反应;它们能够左右人们的饿态度和意见,甚至直接支配他们的行为。对第一次世界大战中宣传心理战的效果研究则进一步促成了这样一种观点:媒介是万能的,可以随心所欲地影响受众,从而产生巨大的传播效果。在两次世界大战之间的几十年内,大众传媒如报刊、电影、广播等迅速发展并普及,对人们的日常生活产生了巨大的冲击力,人们普遍认为大众传播具有惊人的强大效果,传播研究者认为大众媒介具有"魔弹式"的威力。代表这种观点的理论被称为"枪弹论"、"魔弹论"或"皮下注射论"。这种观点产生的理论背景是当时西方盛行的本能心理学和大众社会理论。本能心理学认为,人的行为正如动物的遗传本能反应一样,是受"刺激—反应"机制主导的,施以某种特定的刺激就必然会引起某种特定的反应。大众社会理论是在孔德、斯宾塞的社会有机体思想和韦伯等有关工业化社会理论的基础上形成的。他们认为,大众社会中的个人,在心理上陷于孤立,对媒介的依赖性很强,因而导致媒介对社会的影响力很大。 有关这一理论的研究大都是建立在观察基础上的结论,并未经过严密的科学调查与验证。这种理论过分夸大了大众媒介的影响力,同时也忽视了受众对大众传播的自主权的前提。受众是具有高度自觉的主人,他们对信息不仅有所选择,而且还会自行决定取舍。此外,这一理论还忽视了影响传播效果的各种社会因素。传播效果与当时当地的社会环境、媒介环境、群体心态、政治军事经济及文化背景密切相关。不能把传播效果放到"真空"中去考察。 除此之外,欧洲国家的广告客户、内战时期的独裁国家以及俄国新革命制度对媒介的利用都证实了媒介万能这样一种观点。人们已经倾向于认为媒介具有非常强大的力量。同时期盛行的本能心理学和社会学理论也从另一个角度支持了媒介万能的说法。实际上,这种效果观是很片面的,是“不分时间和地点,不讲环境条件和对象,将传播效果绝对化和神化的错误观点…”

现代语言学 1 language: language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 1 interlanguage:The type of language produced by nonnative speakers in the process of learning a second language or foreign language. 1 Linguistics : Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language 2 Phonetics : The study of sounds which are used in linguistics communication is called phonetics.For example,vowels and consonants 3 Phonology” : The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology.For example,phone,phoneme,and allophone. 4 Morphology 形态学:The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words is called morphology.For example,boy and “ish”---boyish,teach---teacher. 5 Syntax 句型: The study of how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences is called syntax.For esample,”John like linguistics.” 6 Semantics语义学: The study of meaning in language is called semantics. For example,:The seal could not be found.The zoo keeper became worr ied.” The seal could not be found,The king became worried.” Here the word seal means different things. 7 Pragmatics语用学: The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics.For example, “I do” The word do means different context. 二音系学 1 Phonetics: The study of sounds that are used in linguistic communication is called phonetics. 2 Phonology: The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology. 3 Phone: Phone can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speaking a language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segement. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning; some do,some don’t. 4 Phoneme音素: Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning. The basic unit in phonology is called phoneme;it is a unit that is of distinctive value. 5 allophone同位音: The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the allophones of that phoneme. 6 Complementary distribution: These two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in complementary distribution. 7 Minimal pair: When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segement which occurs in the same place in the stings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair. 10 intonation朗诵: When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. Intonation plays an important role in conveying meaning in almost every language,especially in a language like English{$isbest} 三形态学 1 morphology: Morphology is a branch of grammer which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. 2 inflectional morphology: Inflectional morphology studies the inflections of word-formation. 3 derivational morphology: Derivational morphology is the study of word-formation. 4 morpheme词素: Morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of language. 5 free morpheme: Free morpheme are the morphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselces or in combination with other morphemes. 6 bound morpheme: Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word. 7 root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it bears clear,definite meaning; it must be
