Chapter 1Word-Structure1. The definition of morpheme1.1 What is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit of language?- morphemeWhat are words composed of? - Words are formed by morphemes. A word is the smallest unit that stands alone to communicate meaning.1.2 What are the Chinese equivalents对应词of morpheme? 语素词素-形位2.1 Morphemes may be classified into free and bound.Free morphemes, also called content morphemes, may constitute words by themselves. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. So we may say that free morphemes are free roots.Bound morphemes = Bound root + affixes, known as grammatical morphemes, must appear with at least one other morpheme, either free or bound. Bound morphemes are chiefly found in derived words, e.g. recollection, idealistic, ex-prisoner2.2 Morphemes may also be classified into roots (or root morphemes) and affixes (or affixational morphemes).Task:(1) Read the following words and find the root in each word.heart, hearten, dishearten, heartless, hearty, heartiness,sweetheart, heartbroken, kind-hearted, whole-heartedly.(2) What is your definition of root?A root is the part of the word-form which remains when all the affixes have been removed.(3) Is a root necessarily a free morpheme? Why?2.2.1 Two types of roots- Free rootIn English, many roots are free morphemes, such as black in black, blackboard, blacksmith.- Bound rootHowever, there are quite a number of roots which cannot exist on their own and thus belong to the class of bound morphemes. For example, ceive in receive, conceive, perceive, deceive; mit in permit, commit, submit; tain in retain, contain, maintain; cur in recur, occur, incur, etc.these roots cannot be used to form new words.2.2.2 Two types of affixesAffix is a collective term for the type of formative (构词成分) that can be used only when added to another morpheme.- Inflectional affixes (or inflectional morphemes) serve to expressthe following meanings:(1) plurality: e.g. -s in chairs, pens; -es in boxes, tomatoes;en in oxen.(2) the genitive case: e.g. ’s in boy’s, children’s.(3) the verbal endings: for example,a. -(e)s in words like eats, teaches shows the third personsingular present tense.b. -ing in words like eating, teaching shows the presentparticiple or gerund.c. -(e)d in words like worked, saved shows the past tense or pastparticiple.(4) the comparative and superlative degrees:e.g. -er in words like smaller, harder; -est in words like smallest,hardest.- Derivational affixes (or derivational morphemes)can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes.•(1) Prefixes are affixes before the root, e.g: unjust, rewrite.As a rule, most prefixes modify the meaning of roots, but not their parts of speech.task: list some prefixes that can modify the parts of speech.- en-(em-) as in words like embody, enrich- be- as in words like befriend, belittle- a- as in words like asleep, aside • (2) Suffixes are affixes after the root, e.g.: darkness, worker. By the addition of the suffix,the word is usually changed from one part ofspeech into another, e.g. liberation, modernize.2.3 Relationship between the two classifications of morphemesMorphemeIt is the minimal meaningful unit of language. Or it is the smallest functioning unit in the composition of words.a) Bound morphemes are morphemes which alone can be used as words .What is an allomorph?An allomorph is one of the variants of the same morpheme.语素/形位变体是同一个语素的不同形式。

English Lexicology( 英语词汇学)Lexicology (词汇学): is a branch of linguistics, inquiring into the origins and meanings of words.The Nature and Scope of English lexicology :English lexicology aims at investigating and studying the morphological structures ofEnglish words and word equivalents, their semantic structures, relations, historical development, formation and usages.The subjects that English Lexicology correlated with and extent to :English Lexicology is correlated with such linguistic disciplines as morphology( 形态学), semantics( 语义学), etymology( 词源学),stylistics (文体论)and lexicography( 词典学)The reason for a student to study English lexicology :According to the textbook, English Lexicology will definitely be beneficial for students ofEnglish.A good knowledge of morphological structures of English words and rules ofword-formation will help learners develop their personal vocabulary and consciouslyincrease their word power. The information of the historical development and theprinciples of classification will give them a deeper understanding of word-meaning andenable them to organize, classify and store words more effectively. The understanding andtheir sense relations will gradually raise their awareness of meaning and usage, and enablethem use words more accurately and appropriately. A working knowledge of dictionarieswill improve their skills of using reference books and raise their problem-solving ability and efficiency of individual study.Chapter 1--Basic concepts of words and vocabularyWord (词的界说) : A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function. (1)a minimal free form of a language (2)a sound unity(3)a unit of meaning (4)a form that can function alone in a sentenceSound and meaning (声响与含义) : almost arbitrary, “ no logical relationship between the sound which stands for a thing or an idea and the actual thing and idea itself ”Sound and form (读音和办法) :不共同的四个原因(1)the English alphabet was adopted from the Romans,which does not have a separate letter to represent each other (2)the pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years (3)some ofthe difference were creates by the early scribes (4)the borrowings is an importantchannel of enriching the English vocabularyVocabulary (词汇): all the words in a language make up its vocabularyClassification of English Words :By use frequency:basic word stock&nonbasic vocabularyBy notion:content words&functional wordsBy origin:native words&borrowed wordsThe basic word stock (根本词汇) : is the foundation of the vocabulary accumulated over centuries and forms the common core of the language. Though it constitute a smallpercentage of the EV, it is the most important part of vocabulary.The Fundamental Features of the Basic Word Stock( 基本词汇的特征) :1)All-National character (全民通用性most important )2)Stability (相对稳定性)3)Productivity (多产性)4)Polysemy (多义性)5)Collocability (可搭配性)没有上述特征的words: (1)Terminology( 术语) (2)Jargon (行话)(3)slang (俚语)(4)Argot (暗语)(5)Dialectal words( 方言) (6) Archaisms (古语)(7) Neologisms (新词语):Neologisms means newly-created words or expressions, or words that have takenon new meanings.(email)Content words/notional words 实词( cloud, run walk, never, five, frequently ) andfunctional words/empty words 虚词( on, of, and, be, but )Native Words and Borrowed WordsNative words (本族语词): known as Anglo-Saxon words (50,000-60,000), are wordsbrought to Britain in the 5th century by the Germanic tribes. (mainstream of the basicword-stocks).Two other features:(1)neutral in style (2)frequent in useBorrowed words/Loan words (外来语词): words taken over from foreignlanguages.(80% of modern EV)4 Types of loan words:1) denizens( 同化词): (shirt from skyrta(ON))2) aliens (非同化词/ 外来词):are borrowed words which have retained their original pronunciation and spelling (kowtow (CH) 磕头)3) translation loans( 译借词): 按其他语言方式组成英语long time no see (from China)4) semantic loans (借义词):they are not borrowed with reference to the form,but their meanings are borrowedChapter 2 the development of the English VocabularyThe Indo-European Language Family( 印欧语系)The Eight Groups in Indo-European Family of Languages (8 大印欧语群)The Eastern set:(1)The Balto-slavic Group (波罗的-斯拉夫语族):Russian,Bulgarian,Polish,Czech etc. (2)The Indo-Iranian Group (印度-伊朗语族):Hindi,Bengali,Persian etc.(3)The Armenian Group (亚美尼亚语族):Armenian.(4)The Albanian Group (阿尔巴尼亚语族):Albanian.The Western set:(5)The Hellenic Group (古希腊语族):Greek.(6)The Italian Group (意大利语族):Latin ,Romance languages(French,Italian,Spanish, portuguese,Romanian) etc.(7)The Celtic Group (凯尔特语族):Irish,Welsh,Breton etc.(8)The Germanic Group (日耳曼语族):Flemish,German,Dutch,Scandinavian(Norweigian, Swedish,Danish,Icelandic) etc.The Three Stages of Development of the English Vocabulary:1 Old English (450-1100) (vocabulary 50,000 to 60,000):was I high inflected language.2 Middle English (1150-1500):retaines much fewer inflections3 Modern English (1500-up to now): in fact more than 25% of modern E words comealmost directly from classical languages. In Modern E, words endings were mostly lost withjust a few expections.English has evolved from a synthetic language(Old English) to thepresent analytic language.Modes of Vocabulary Development( 词汇的发展模式):1)creation 创造新词:the formation of new words by using the existing materials,namelytoots,affixes and other elements.( 最重要方式)2)semantic change 旧词新义:does not increase the number of word forms but createmany more new useages of the words.3) borrowing 借用外来词:constitute merely 6 to 7 percent of all new wordsReviving words or obsolete words also contributes to the growth of English vocabularythough quite insignificant.Chapter 3 Word Formation IMorpheme( 词素) :the smallest functioning unit in the composition of wordsAllomorph( 词素变体) : is a different variant form of a morpheme ,differ in phonologicaland spelling form, but at the same in function and meaningType of Morpheme( 词素的分类)(1)Free Morphemes (自在词素) : have complete meaning in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. A free morpheme is one that can stand by itself.(independent).(2)Bound Morpheme( 粘着语素): A bound morpheme is one that cannot stand by itself.Bound Morpheme includes two types: (1) bound root( 粘附词根) (2)Affix( 词缀)Affixes can be put into two groups:1)Inflectional affixes ( 屈折词缀):affixes attached to the end of words to indicategrammatical relationships are inflectional,thus known as inflectional morphemes.2)Derivational affixes( 派生词缀): A) prefix: A prefix comes before words. B)suffix:Anadjective suffix (描述词后缀) that is added to the stem, whatever class is belongs to , theresult will be an adjective.Free Morpheme =free root (自在词根)Morpheme( 词素)Bound root prefixbound derivationalaffix suffixinflectionalRoot and stem (词根和词干)The differences between root and stem:A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss ofidentity.A stem is the surplus part after the cutting of inflectional morpheme in a word withinflectional morphemes,can be further analyzed, it sometimes could be a root.Chapter 4 Word-Formation II( 构词法)1.Affixation 词缀法(Derivation 派生法):the formation of words by adding word-formaing or derivational affixes to stem.(1)Prefixation( 前缀法):It's the formation of new words by adding a prefixes to stems.1)Negative prefixes( 否定前缀): un-,non-,in-,dis,a- ,il-,ir-,im-,etc.disobey(not obey)2)Reversative prefixes (逆反前缀): un-,de- ,dis- etc. unwrap(open)3) Pejorative prefixes: mis (贬义前缀):mis- ,mal-, pseudo- etc.misconduct(bad behaviour)4) Prefixes of degree or size( 程度前缀):arch-,extra-,hyper-,macro-,micro-,mini-,out-,over-,sub-,super-,sur-,ultra-,under-,ect.overweight5) Prefixes of orientation and attitude (倾向态度前缀):contra-,counter-,anti-,pro-etc.anti-nuclear6)Locative prefixes (方位前缀):extra-,fore-,inter-,intra-,tele-,trans-, etc. extraordinary(more than ordinary)7) Prefixes of time and order (时间和顺序前缀):fore-,pre-,post-,ex-,re- etc. monorail(one rail)8) Number prefixes (数字前缀):uni- ,mono-, bi- ,di-, tri-,multi- ,poly- ,semi- ,etc.bilingual(concerning two languages)9) Miscellaneous prefixes (混杂前缀):auto-, neo-, pan-, vice-.vice-chairman(deputy chairman)(2)Suffixation (后缀法): It's the formation of a new word by adding suffixes to stems.1)noun suffixes 2)adjective suffixes 3)Adverb suffixes 4)verb suffixespounding 复合法(also called composition )Compounding: is the formation of new words by joining two or more stemsCompounds are written in three ways: solid 连写(airmail) ,hyphenated 带连字符(air-conditioning)and open 分开写(air force, air raid)Formation of compounds (复合词的办法)(1)noun compounds :e.g. : air + plane = airplane,flower + pot = flower pot(2)adjective compounds :e.g. acid + head = acid-head(3)verb compounds :e.g. house + keep = housekeep3.Conversion 转类法Conversion: is the formation of new words by converting words of one class to anotherclass. (功用转化,又名零派生 .functional shift/zero-derivation )4.Blending 拼缀法Blending : is the formation of new words by combining parts of two words or a word plus apart of another word. e.g: motor + hotel = motel, smoke + fog = smog, formula +translation = FORTRAN5.Clipping 截短法Clipping:is to shorten a longer word by cutting a part off the original and using whatremains instead.e.g. plane from airplane, phone from telephone. 四种办法:1).Front clippings 删节前面(phone from telephone)2).Back clippings 删节后面(dorm from dormitory)3).Front and back clippings 前后删节(flu from influenza)4).Phrase clippings 短语删节(pop from popular music)6.Acronymy 首字母缩写法Acronymy:is the process of forming new words by joining the initial letters of names ofsocial and political organizations or special noun phrases and technical terms.(1)Initialism (首字母缩写词法): initialisms are words pronounced letter by letter. e.g.:BBC(for British Broadcasting corporation)(2)Acronym (首字母拼音法):Acronyms are words formed from initial letters butpronounced as a normal word. E.g.:TEFL(teaching English as a foreign language)7.Back-formation (逆生法,逆构词)Back-formation is considered to be the opposite process of suffixation. It?s the method ofcreating words by removing the supposed suffixes. (greed from greedy)8.Words From Proper Name( 专有名词转成法):Names of people, places, book, and tradenames (e.g.: sir watt siemens( 人名) -- watt (瓦特,电功率单位)Chapter 5 Word MeaningThe meanings of “Meaning( “意”义”的意义)Reference (所指):It is the relationship between language and the word. It is the arbitraryand conventional. It is a kind of abstraction, yet with the help of context, it can refer tosomething specific.Concept (概念):which is beyond language, is the result of human cognition( 认识),reflecting the objective world in the human mind.Sense(含义):It denotes the relationship inside the language. ,The sense of an expressionis its place in a system of semantic relat ionships with other expressions in the language.?Motivation (理据):It accounts for the connection between the linguistic symbol and itsmeaning.1) Onomatopoeic motivation (拟声理据):words whose sounds suggest their meaning, forthese words were creates by imitating the natural sounds or noises. Knowing the sounds ofthe words means understanding the meaning. E.g.: bang, ping-pong, ha ha.2)Morphological motivation (形态理据):multi-morphemic words and the meaning of manyare the sum total of the morphemes combines. E.g.: airmail, miniskirt . 破例: black market,ect.3)Semantic motivation (词义理据):refers to the mental associations suggested by theconceptual meaning of a word. It explains the connection between the literal sense andfigurative sense of the word. E.g:the foot of the mountain(foot)4)Etymological motivation (词源理据):the history of the word explains the meaning of theword. E.g:pen-featherTypes of meaning( 词义的类别)1.Grammatical Meaning (语法含义) :indicates the grammatical concept or relationships(becomes important only in actual context)2.Lexical Meaning (词汇含义)(Lexical meaning and grammatical meaning make up the word-meaning)Lexical meaning has 2 components 内容: Conceptual meaning( 概念意义) and associativemeaning( 关联意义)1)Conceptual meaning( 概念意义): also known as denotative meaning( 外延意义) is themeaning given in the dictionary and forms the core of word-meaning.2)Associative meaning( 关联意义):is the secondary meaning supplemented to theconceptual meaning.[4types:(1) Connotative (内在意义): the overtones or associations suggested by the conceptual meaning, traditionally known as connotations.( 例如“母亲”经常与“爱”关“心”温“柔”联系起来)(2) Stylistic (文体含义): many words have stylistic features, which make them appropriate for different contexts.(3)Affective(感情意义):indicates the speaker?s attitude towards the person or thingin question. 这种情感价值观分两类:褒义和贬义appreciative & pejorative(4) Collocative (调配含义): is the part of the word-meaning suggested by the words before or after the word in discussion.]Chapter 6 --Sense relation and semantic field (语义联系和语义场)Polysemy (多义联系)Two approached to polysemy (多义联系的两种研讨办法) :1.diachronic approach( 历时方法) :from the diachronic point of view, polysemy is assumedto be the result of growth and development of the semantic structure of one and sameword. First meaning is theprimary meaning , the later meanings are called derived meanings.2. synchronic approach ( 共时方法) : synchronically, polysemy is viewed as the coexistenceof various meanings of the same word in a certain historical period of time. 根本含义是central meaning , 非必须含义是 derived meaning.Two processes of development (词义的两种开展类型) :1. radiation (辐射型):is a semantic process in which the primary meaning stands at thecentre and the secondary meanings proceed out of it in every direction like rayes. (e.g:face, neck)2. concatenation (连锁型):is the semantic process in which the meaning of a word movegradually away from its first sense by successive shifts until there is not a sign ofconnection between the sense that is finally developed and that which the term had atthe beginning.(e.g:treacle)3. In radiation, each of the derived meaning is directly connected to the primary meaning.In concatenation, each of the later meaning is related only to the preceding one likechains. Though the latest sense can be traced back to the original, there is no directconnection in between.4. They are closely related, being different stages of the development leading topolysemy. Generally, radiation precedes concatenation. In many cases, the twoprocesses work together, complementing each other.Homonymy (同形同音异义联系) :words different in meaning but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling.Types of homonyms( 同音同形异义关系的类别)1)Perfect homonyms (彻底同音同形异义词):words identical both in sound and spelling, but different in meaning.2)Homographs (同形异义词):words identical only in spelling, but different in sound and meaning.( 最多最常见)3)Homophones (同音异义词):words identical only in sound but different in spelling and meaning.Origins of homonyms ( 同形同音异义词的来源)1)change in sound and spelling :(eare-ear, lang-long, langian-long)2)borrowing (feria-fair, beallu-ball, baller-ball )3)Shortening( 缩略): (ad-advertisement,)The differentiation of Homonyms from Polysemes (同音同形异义词和多义词的区别):1)The fundamental difference : Homonymy refers to different words which happen toshare the same form and polysemy are the one and same word which has several distinguishable meanings.2)One important criterion is to see their etymology( 词源):Homonymys are from differentsources. Polysemant is from the same source.3)The second principle consideration is semantic relatedness( 语义关联): The variousmeanings of polysemant are correlated and connected to one central meaning. Meaningsof different homonymys have nothing to do with one another. In dictionaries, apolysemant has its meaning all listed under one headword whereas homonyms are listed as separate entries.Rhetoric features of homonyms( 同形同音异义词的修辞特色):As homonyms are identicalin sound or spelling, particularly homophones, they are often employed to create puns fordesired effect of, say, humor, sarcasm or ridicule.Synonymy (同义关系): one of two or more words in the English language which have thesame or very nearly the same essential meaning .Types of Synonymy( 同义词的类别) :(1) Absolute synonyms (完全同义词):also known as complete synonyms are words whichare identical in meaning in all aspects, i.e. both in grammatical meaning and lexicalmeaning, including conceptual and associative meanings.[ Absolute synonyms arerestricted to highly specialized vocabulary in lexicology. ](2) relative synonyms (相对同义词):also called near-synonyms are similar or nearly thesame in denotation, but embrace different shades of meaning or different degrees of agiven quality.(e.g: change/alter/vary, stagger/reel/totter, strange/odd/queer,idle/lazy/indolent)Sources of synonyms( 同义词的来源) :1)Borrowing (借词):最重要的来源(room-chamber, foe-enemy, help-aid, leave-depart,wise-sage, buy-purchase)2)Dialects and regional English (方言和地区英语)3)Figurative and euphemistic use of words (单词的修饰和委婉用法):occupation/profession-walk of life, dreamer--star-gazer, drunk-elevated, lie-distort offact.4)Coincidence with idiomatic expressions (与习惯表达一致):win-gain the upper hand,decide- make up one?s mind, finish -get through, hesitate-be in two minds, help-lend one ahand.Discrimination of Synonyms(1) difference in denotation 外延不同. Synonyms may differ in the range and intensity ofmeaning.(rich-wealthy, work-toil, want-wish-desire)(2) difference in connotation 内涵不同. By connotation we mean the stylistic and emotivecolouring of words. Some words share the same denotation but differ in their stylisticappropriateness. ( 借词:answer-respond, storm-tempest, wood-forest, handy-manual,unlike-dissimilar, homely-domestic, fleshy-carnal. 中性词:policeman-constable-bobby-cop, ask-beg-request. 古语词、诗歌:ire/anger,bliss-happiness, forlorn-distresses, dire-dreadful, list-listen, enow-enough,save-expect, mere-lake )(3) difference in application. Many words are synonymous in meaning but difference inusage in simple terms. They form different collocations and fit into difference sentencepatterns. (allow sb. to do sth.- let sb. do sth. / answer the letter-reply to the letter)Antonymy (反义关系) :it is concerned with semantic opposition. Antonyms can bedefined as words which are opposite in meaning.Types of Antonyms:1)contradictory terms ( 矛盾反义词): these antonyms truly represent oppositeness ofmeaning. 特色:①The assertion of one is the denial of the other. ②Such antonyms arenon-gradable. They cannot be used in comparative degrees and do not allow adverbs of intensity like “very ”to qua(liefy.gt:hseimng.le/married)2)contrary terms (对立反义词): antonyms of this type are best viewed in terms of a scalerunning between two poles or extremes.(e.g: old/young, rich/young, big/small) The twoopposites are gradable and one exists in comparison with the other.3)relative terms (关系反义词):this type consists of relational opposites. (parent/child,husband/wife, employee/employer, sell/buy, receive-give )Some of the characteristics of antonyms( 反义关系的特点):1)antonyms are classified on the basis of semantic opposition( 语义对立)2)a word which has more than one meaning can have more than one antonym3)antonyms differ in semantic inclusion (语义内涵)4)contrary terms are gradable antonyms ,differing in degree of intensity, so each has itsown corresponding opposite.(hot/warm: hot-cold/warm-cool)The use of antonyms (反义词的运用)1)Antonyms are helpful and valuable in defining the meaning of words.2)To express economically the opposite of a particular thought for the sake ofcontrast.(e.g :now or never, rain or shine, friend or foe 敌友,weal and woe 哀乐)3)To form antithesis( 对比法) to achieve emphasis by putting contrasting idea together.(proverbs and sayings: easy come , easy go./ more haste, less speed.)Hyponymy (上下义关系): Hyponymy deals with the relationship of semantic inclusion.The meaning of a more specific word is included in that of another more general word. Forexample, a cat is hyponym of animalSuperordinate and Subordinate ( 上义词和下义词):use subordinates which areconcrete and precise ,presenting a vivid verbal picture before the reader. Superordinateswhich convey only a general and vague idea.Semantic Field( 语义场)Viewing the total meaning in this way is the basis of field theory.e.g.(apple, pear, peach, date, mango, orange, lemon, etc. make up the semantic field of,fruits?)The semantic field of the same concept may not have the same members in differentlanguage.e.g.(aunt in English, may means 父亲的姐姐“,妈妈的姐姐,父亲哥哥的妻子”inChinese.(122)Chapter 7 Changes in Word Meaning 词义的演化Vocabulary is the most unstable element of a language as it is undergoing constantchanges both in form and content. Comparatively the content is even more unstable thanthe form.Types of Changes ( 词义变化的种类)1.Extension /generalization( 词义的扩大) : is the name given to the widening ofmeaning which some words undergo. It is a process by which originally had a specialized meaning has now becomegeneralized.(e.g: manuscript, fabulous, picture, mill, journal,bonfire, butcher, companion)2.Narrowing/ specialization( 词义的缩小):is the opposite of widening meaning. It isa process by which a word of wide meaning acquires a narrower or specialized sense. Inother words, a word which used to have a more general sense becomes restricted in itsapplication and conveys a special meaning in present-day English.(e.g: deer, corn, garage,liquor, meat, disease, poison, wife, accident, girl). [ when a common word is turned into aproper noun, the meaning is narrowed accordingly. ]3.Elevation /amelioration( 词义的升华) :refers to the process by which words rise fromhumble(粗陋的)beginnings to positions of importance. [nice, marshal, constable, angel,knight, earl, governor, fond, minister, chamberlain ]4.Degradation / pejoration( 词义的降格) :A process whereby words of good origin fallinto ill reputation or non-affective words come to used in derogatory (贬损的)sense.[boor,churl, wench, hussy, villain, silly, knave, lewd, criticize, lust ]5.Transfer( 词义的转移) : Words which were used to designate 指明one thing but laterchanged to mean something else have experienced the process of semantic transfer.Causes of Semantic Change( 词义变化的原因)1.Extra-linguistic factors( 词义演变的语言外部因素):1) Historical reason( 历史原因):Increased scientific knowledge and discovery, objects,institutions, ideas change in the course of time. E.g: pen, car, computer.2 )Class reason( 阶级原因):The attitude of classes have also made inroads into lexicalmeaning in the case of elevation or degradation.3) Psychological reason( 心理原因):the associated transfer of meaning and euphemisticuse of words are often due to psychological factors. Such slow, humble and despisedoccupations take more appealing names is all due to psychological reasons.2.Linguistic factors (言语内部原因):the change of meaning may be caused by internalfactors with in the language system.1)shorting 缩略:gold-gold medal, gas-coal gas, bulb-light bulb, private-private soldier2)borrowing 借用:deer-animal-beast3)analogy 类推:Chapter 8 Meaning and Context 词义和语境Context in its traditional sense refers to the lexical items that precede or follow a givenword. Modern linguists have broadened its scope to include both linguistic andextra-linguistic contexts.Two types of context (语境的品种)1. Extra-linguistic context/ Non-linguistic situation (非言语语境):In a broad sense,context includes the physical situation as well, which embraces the people, time, place,and even the whole cultural background. (look out, weekend, landlord )2.Linguistic context/ grammatical context (语言语境):In a narrow sense, it refers tothe words, clauses, sentences in which a word appears. It may cover a paragraph, a wholechapter and even the entire book. 分为两类:1) Lexical context (词汇语境):It refers to the word that occurs together with the word inquestion. (e.g: paper, do)2) Grammatical context (语法语境):It refers the situation when the meaning of a wordmay be influenced by the structure in which it occurs.

In a broad sense, idiom may include colloquialisms(俗话) , Catchphrases (标语) ,slang expressions (俚语) ,proverbs (谚语) ,etc. They form an important part of the English vocabulary.Characteristics of Idioms (英语习语的特色)1.Semantic unity (语意的全体性): words in the idiom they have lost their individualidentity.

7. seven types of meaning
(1) Conceptual meaning ------Logical, cognitive, or denotation content 逻辑的,认知的,或者外延的内容
5.conceptual meaning(概念意义): Conceptual meaning (also known as denotative meaning) is the meaning given in the dictionary and forms the core of word meaning. Being constant and relatively stable, conceptual meaning forms the basis for communication as the same word has the same conceptual meaning to all the speakers of the same language. Take 'The sun rises in the east' for example. The word sun here means 'a heavenly body which gives off light, heat, and energy', a concept which is understood by anyone who speaks English.

1.外来词分为四类:Denizens ,cup from cuppa , port form portus 2) Aliens garage , décor 3) Translation –loans e.g. long time no see 4) Semantic- loans.e.g. dream2.Motivation分类:onomatopoeic motivation, morphological motivation, semantic motivation, etymologicalmotivation.Types of meaning: grammatical ~ & lexical ~; conceptual ~& associative ~(connotative~, stylistic~, affective ~,collocative ~,)多义关系及两种研究方法:Polysemy is a common feature peculiar to all natural language that one word has two or more senses or meanings. Diachronic approach s an approach to polysemy which studies how a word derived its different meanings from its primary meaning in the course of time. 3.Synchronic approachis an approach to polysemy which studies the coexistence of various meanings of the same word in a certain historical period of time. 4.Primary meaningis the only meaning that a word had when it was first created. 5.Derived meaningsare the meanings that a word gets from the primary meaning at different stages of its development in the course of time. 6.同形同音异义关系Homonymy is one of the features of words that a word is different in meaning from another, but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling with the other Homonyms generally fall into three classes: perfect homonyms (same name); homographs (same spelling) and homophones(some sound). Perfect homonyms are those words identical both in sound and spelling, but different in meaning, e.g. bear /bea/ (n) a large heavy animal; bear /bea/ (v) to put up with. Homographs are the words identical only in spelling but different in sound and meaning, e.g. saw / / (v) to scatter seeds; sow /sau/ (n) female adult pig. Homophones refer to the words identical only in sound but different in spelling and meaning, e.g. dear /dia/ (n) a loved person; deer /dia/ (n) a kind of animal. 7.同形同音异义词与多义词的区别Perfect homonyms and polysemants are fully identical with regard to spelling and pronunciation. This creates the problem of differentiation. The fundamental difference between homonyms and polysemants lies in the fact that the former refers to different words which happen to share the same form and the latter is the one and same word which has several distinguishable meanings. One important criterion is to see their etymology, i.e. homonyms are from different sources whereas a polysemant is from the same source which has acquired different meanings in the course of development. The second principal consideration is semantic relatedness. The various meanings of a polysemant are correlated and connected to one central meaning to a greater or lesser degree, e. g. neck (See 6.1 Polysemy) . On the other hand, meanings of different homonyms have nothing to do with one another. In dictionaries, a polysemant has its meanings all listed under one headword whereas homonyms are listed as separate entries. 8.同义关系Synonymsare words which share the same or nearly the same meaning with each other but different in sound and spelling. There are absolute synonyms and relative synonyms which result from borrowing, dialects and regional English, figurative and euphemistic use of words, coincidence with idiomatic expressions. There exists the difference between or among synonyms in terms of their denotation, connotation or application. Absolute synonyms or complete synonyms are words which are identical in meaning in all its aspects. Relative synonyms or near-synonyms are similar or nearly the same in denotation, but embrace different shades of meaning or different degrees of a given quality.9.Sources of Synonyms1) Borrowing 2)Dialects and regional English 3) Figurative and euphemistic use of words 4) Coincidence with idiomatic expressions 10.如何区分同义词?1Difference in de

Chapter one Language,
and Lexicology
Step 1
Linguistics
Discuss: What is lexicology and why do we need to study it? a. Lexicology is a branch of linguistics, concerned with the study of the vocabulary of a given language. It deals with words, their origin, development, history, structure, meaning and application. In short, it is the study of the signification and application of words. It aims at investigating and studying the morphological structures, semantic structures, relations, formation and usages. It is a theoretically-oriented course as well as a practical course.

Step 2 The connection of lexicology with other branches of linguistics a. with phonetics, which is the study of speech sounds made in spoken, without speech sound, there is no word because every word is a unity of sound and meaning. ( Duality: one design feature of human language, which refers to the property of having two levels: sounds level and meaning level.)

What is language?

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. It is a specific social action and a carrier of information.
没有语法,人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几; 而没有词汇,人们则无法表达任何事物。 ---英国语言学家威尔金斯(Wilkins)

英语词汇学_Unit_12_English_Idioms
Secondly, the word order cannot be inverted or changed. For example, by twos and threes and tit for tat are not to be turned into by threes and twos and tat for tit. Similarly, the lion’s share is not to be replaced by the share of the lion though it is a common practice in free phrases.

Many idioms are grammatically wrong, but idiomatically accepted.


Long time no see. Like cures like. Go great guns.

First, the constituents of idioms cannot be replaced. Take in a brown study for example. Used as a free phrase, we can say in a brown (red, green, white, etc.) study or in a brown study (room, den, hall, studio, cell, etc.). However, as an idiom to mean „deep in thought‟, the structure is fixed.

中心词或词条被用同一种语言定义和描述。

单语词典发展晚因为早期的词典都是双语的。

单语词典的目标人群是普通本土读者或第二语言的外国学者,他们到达了中阶或高阶水平。

LDCE和cceld在英国出版都是单语词典。

双语词典涉及两种语言。

主要词条通常都是用同一种语言定义和说明,附带翻译,象是牛津高级进阶词典,朗满当代英语进阶词典。

Diachronic approach is an approach to polysemy which studies how a word derived its different meanings from its primary meaning in the course of time. Synchronic approach is an approach to polysemy which studies the coexistence of various meanings of the same word in a certain historical period of time. Primary meaning is the only meaning that a word had when it was first created. Derived meanings are the meanings that a word gets from the primary meaning at different stages of its development in the course of time.同形同音异义关系Homonymy is one of the features of words that a word is different in meaning from another, but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling with the other Homonyms generally fall into three classes: perfecthomonyms (same name); homographs (same spelling) and homophones (some sound). Perfect homonyms are those words identical both in sound and spelling, but different in meaning, e.g. bear /bea/ (n) a large heavy animal; bear /bea/ (v) to put up with. Homographs are the words identical only in spelling but different in sound and meaning, e.g. saw / / (v) to scatter seeds; sow /sau/ (n) female adult pig. Homophones refer to the words identical only in sound but different in spelling and meaning, e.g. dear /dia/ (n) a loved person; deer /dia/ (n) a kind of animal.同形同音异义词与多义词的区别Perfect homonyms and polysemants are fully identical with regard to spelling and pronunciation. This creates the problem of differentiation. The fundamental difference between homonyms and polysemants lies in the fact that the former refers to different words which happen to share the same form and the latter is the one and same word which has several distinguishable meanings. One important criterion is to see their etymology, i.e. homonyms are from different sources whereas a polysemant is from the same source which has acquired different meanings in the course of development. The secondprincipal consideration is semantic relatedness. The various meanings of a polysemant are correlated and connected to one central meaning to a greater or lesser degree, e. g. neck (See 6.1 Polysemy) . On the other hand, meanings of different homonyms have nothing to do with one another. In dictionaries, a polysemant has its meanings all listed under one headword whereas homonyms are listed as separate entries.同义关系Synonyms are words which share the same or nearly the same meaning with each other but different in sound and spelling. There are absolute synonyms and relative synonyms which result from borrowing, dialects and regional English, figurative and euphemistic use of words, coincidence with idiomatic expressions. There exists the difference between or among synonyms in terms of their denotation, connotation or application. Absolute synonyms or complete synonyms are words which are identical in meaning in all its aspects. Relative synonyms or near-synonyms are similar or nearly the same in denotation, but embrace different shades of meaning or different degrees of a given quality.Sources of Synonyms 1) Borrowing 2)Dialects and regional English 3) Figurative and euphemistic use of words 4) Coincidence with idiomatic expressions如何区分同义词?1Difference in denotation2 Difference in connotation 3 Difference in applicationWhat are the characteristics of antonyms?1) Antonyms are classified on the basis of semantic opposition 2) A word which has more than one meaning can have more than one antonym. 3) Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. 4) Contrary terms are gradable antonyms, differing in degree of intenisty, so each has its own corresponding opposite.上下义关系:Hyponymy deals with the relationship of semantic inclusion. That is, the meaning of a more specific word is included in that of another more general word. Superordinates refer to some general words; subordinates denote those more specific words. Hyponymy can be described in terms of tree-like graphs, with higher-order superordinates above the lower subordinates. But their status either as superordinate or subordinate is relative to other terms. For example, horse, dog, pig are subordinates in relation to animal, but superordinates of mare, hound and boar, Animal itself becomes a subordinate of creature. And creature in turn becomes词义变化的种类There are five types of meaning, changes: extension, narrowing, degradation, elevation, and transfer among which extension and narrowing are the most common. Changes in meaning can be accounted for from extra-linguistic factors (historical reason, class reason, and psychological reason) and intra-linguistic factors (shortening, the influx of borrowing, and analogy).词义的扩大Extension is a process by which a word with a specialized sense is generalized to cover a broader or lessdefinite concept. Compare the following;词义的缩小Narrowing is a process by which a word of wider meaning acquires a specialized sense;词义的升华Elevation is a process by which a word moves from a derogatory or neutral sense to a neutral and/or appreciative sense;词义的降格Degradation is a process by which a word of reputation slides into a pejorative use,;词义的转移Transfer is a process by which a word denoting one thing changes to refer to a different but related thing. Paper serves as an example. This word formerly denoted an African plant papyrus, which was once used to make paper. In modern times, paper is made from rags, wood, straw and the like, but the product has retained the same name. There is associated transfer. There are other kinds of transfer, such as, concrete to abstract, abstract to concrete and transfer of sensation.语境的种类:非语言语境。
