术语解释
1.Design feature的定义：the defining（最典型的，起决定作用的）properties of
human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication. 2.Synchronic共时：It refers to the description of a language at some point of time
in history.
3.Diachronic历时：It studies the development or history of language. In other
words, it refers to the description of a language as it changes through time .
4.prescriptive规定式：A kind of linguistic s tudy aims to lay down rules for “correct
and standard” behavior in using language.
5.descriptive描写式: A kind of linguistic study aims to describe and analyze the
language people actually use.
6.Arbitrariness（任意性）:By saying that “language is arbitrary”, we mean that
there is no logical connection between meaning and sound.
7.Duality（二层性/二重性）:it means that language is a system, which consists of
two levels of structures, at the lower level there is the structure of sounds; at the higher level there is the structure of meaning.
8.Displacement（移位性）: it means that language can be used to communicate
about things that are not present in our immediate communicational context.
petence语言能力:it refers to an ideal speaker’s knowledge of the underlying
system of rules in a language.
10.Performance语言行为: it refers to the actual use of the language by a speaker in
a real communicational context.
ngue语言: it refers to the speaker’s understanding and knowledge of the
language that he speaks.
12.Parole言语: it is the actual speaking of language by an individual speaker.
13.Cultural transmission（文化传播）:It refers to the fact that the details of the
linguistic system must be learned anew（重新，再）by each speaker. Language is not transmitted biologically from generation to generation.
14.Phatic communion（寒暄交谈）:it refers to ritual exchanges, exchanges that have
little meaning but help to maintain our relationships with other people.
15.Phonetics(语音学): it is the study of the characteristics of speech sounds and
provides methods for their description, classification and transcription.
16.V owels元音：the sounds in the production of which no articulators come very
close together and the air-stream passes through the vocal tract without obstruction.
17.Consonants辅音：The sounds in the production of which there is an obstruction
of the air-stream at some point of the vocal tract.
18.Phonology: it is the study of the sound systems of languages and it is concerned
with the linguistic patterning of sounds in human languages. And it studies the way in which speakers of a language systematically use a selection of these sounds in order to express meaning.
19.Phoneme音位: the smallest unit of sound in a language which can distinguish two
words.
20.Allophone音位变体: it refers to the different forms of a phoneme.
21.Assimilation: it is a process by which one sound takes on some or all the
characteristics of a neighboring sound.
22.Coarticulation: a kind of phonetic process in which simultaneous or overlapping
articulations are involved.
plementary distribution互补分布:when two sounds never occur in the
same environment, they are in complementary distribution.
24.Free variation自由变体: if two sounds occurring in the same environment do not
contrast, that is, the substitution of one for the other does not produce a different word form, but merely a different pronunciation of the same word, then the two sounds are in free variation.
25.Distinctive features区别特征：A phonetic feature which distinguishes one
phonological unit, especially one phoneme, from another.
26.minimal pairs最小对立体----- which can be defined as pairs of words which
differ from each other by only one sound.
27.vowel glides滑音: The vowels involving movement from one sound to another
are called vowel glides.
28.Epenthesis增音：it means a process of inserting a sound after another sound.
29.Substitution relation: it refers to the relation specifically between an individual
unit and others that can replace it in a given sequence.
30.Endocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent, or
approaching equivalence, to one of its constituents, which serves as the centre, or head, of the whole.
31.Exocentric construction: a group of syntactically related words where none of
them is functionally equivalent to the group as a whole, that is, there is no definable center or head inside the group
32.Reference: it is the relationship between words and the objects, actions or
properties that the words stand for. It deals with the extra-linguistic relationships between words and expressions and the world they describe.(具体的物质性的东西)
33.Synonymy ：It refers to the sameness sense relations between words.
ponential analysis ：Componential analysis defines the meaning of a
lexical element in terms of semantic components语义部分.
35.Sense: it refers to the complex system of relationships that hold between linguistic
elements themselves, it is concerned only with intra-linguistic relations.（概念性的东西）
36.Semantics：semantics is the study of the meaning of linguistic units, words and
sentences in particular.
37.Homonymy: the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same
form, i.e., different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both.
38.Antonymy：It refers to the oppositeness sense relations between words.
39.Hyponymy上下义关系：Hyponymy indicates sense inclusiveness. The upper
term in this sense relation is called superordinate上义词,and the lower terms, hyponyms下义词, members of the same class are called co-hyponyms.。
