• These following "Ts" may help you to successfully and more efficiently organize your groupwork. In each neighbourhood, at least one student (or better, two) should be in charge of one of these "Ts" when working in groups: • Task (Stay focused on the task) • Teamwork (Make sure that all group members are involved) • Take notes (Write down your findings) • Time management (Make sure you are done with the worksheet within the time limit you have agreed on in the beginning) • Talk (Talk to each other and make sure to appoint one student to represent your group in the meeting with the lecturer)

Cognitive Linguistics

Cognitive Linguistics

The development of CL
firmly rooted in CS primarily concerned with investigating the relationship between language, the mind and sociosocio-physical experience
Cognitive Semantics
key assumptions:
(1) no distinction between semantics and pragmatics (i.e., no distinction between core meaning and pragmatic, social or cultural meaning); (2) encyclopaedic knowledge is structured: the knowledge that words provide access to represent an organized inventory of knowledge;
Philosophical basis of the contemporary linguistic schools
CL和SFG之间存在互补关系(Langacker)。 CL和SFG之间存在互补关系(Langacker)。 SFG侧重语言的社会方面,主要从语言的社 SFG侧重语言的社会方面,主要从语言的社 会功能和使用情景来研究语言,将语义置于 中心位置,但也不排斥心理方面的研究(胡 壮麟)。 CL更侧重语言的心理方面研究成果,强调认 CL更侧重语言的心理方面研究成果,强调认 知方式在语义形成中的作用,同时也重视社 会文化、百科知识对于语义理解的必要性。

谈认知-功能教学法在对外汉语教学中的应用

谈认知-功能教学法在对外汉语教学中的应用

谈认知-功能教学法在对外汉语教学中的应用认知法是主张在外语教学中发挥学习者智力作用,尤其是在对语言规则的理解方面,重视学习者的主观能动性的一种教学法体系。

功能法是以语言功能为纲、注重培养学习者交际能力的一种教学法体系。

它们各有所长,是近半个世纪以来最有影响力的两种教学法。

我们综合这两种语言教学法,试图探索出一套更为有效且更有针对性的对外汉语教学方法。

一、认知法概述认知法(Cognitive Approach)又叫认知—符号法(Cognitive-CodeApproach),产生于20世纪60年代,代表人物是美国心理学家布鲁纳(J.S.Bruner)、卡鲁尔(J.B.Carroll)。

认知法主张发挥学习者智力的作用,通过有意识地学习语音、词汇、语法知识,理解、发现并掌握语言规则,从而能从听、说、读、写方面全面地运用语言。

它重新肯定了语法—翻译法(Grammer Translation Method),因此被称为“改进了的现代语法—翻译法”。

认知法的语言学理论基础是乔姆斯基(A.N.Chomsky)的转换生成语法理论,该理论认为语言是受规则支配的体系而不是习惯体系,人类学习语言绝不能仅靠模仿记忆,而是一种有意识的、创造性的运用过程。

心理学理论基础是认知心理学,该理论认为学习是一个感知、记忆、思维和想象的过程,是大脑抽象思维活动的结果,而不是简单的刺激—反应。

认知法的基本教学原则如下:1.外语教学要以学生为中心,调动学生的学习积极性和主动性,培养学生的自学能力。

2.在理解语言知识和规则的基础上操练外语,强调有意义的学习和有意义的操练。

3.主张听、说、读、写齐头并进,全面发展。

各种感觉器官综合运用,以求达到最佳效果。

4.适当地使用学生的母语。

教学时,适当地进行母语与目的语的对比,可使教学具有针对性和预见性。

5.学生出现错误在所难免,对于影响交际的错误要加以纠正,对于一般性错误不必有错必纠。

6.广泛运用直观教具和电化教学手段,使外语教学情景化、交际化。

认知语言学

认知语言学
知识的根本。
学科发展历程
认知语言学在20世纪70年代中期开始在美国孕育(朗 奴·兰盖克提出空间语法),80年代中期以后开始成熟, 其学派地位得以确立,其确立标志为1989年春由勒内·德 尔文(ReneDirven) 组织的在德国杜伊斯堡(Duisbury) 召 开的第一届国际认知语言学大会。此次大会宣布于1990年 发行《认知语言学》杂志, 成立国际认知语言学( ICLA) , 出版认知语言学研究的系列专著,90年代中期以后开始进 入稳步个特例。一个范 畴或类别往往有个“原型”,是用以确定类别的参照标准, 需要归类的目标与标准进行比较,符合标准所有特征的目 标例示(instantiate)这一标准,不完全符合的目标是 对标准的扩展(extension)。
经典范畴理论的如下特征 1 范畴划分由一组充分必 要条件决定 2 特征是二元 3 范畴具有清晰边界 4 范畴 成员之间地位平等。
eg2.钟书能 阮薇. 认知与忠实——汉英上下位词翻译的认知 视角『j』.韶关学院学报
3.上下位:
以基本层次范畴为中心 范畴可以向上发展为上位范畴向 下发展为下位范畴上位范畴依赖于基本层次范畴 且物体 的完形形象和大部分属性都来自基本层次范畴 因此又被 称为寄生范畴(parasiticcategory) 下位范畴也是寄生范 畴它是在基本层次范畴的基础上更进一步细致的切分。
二、认知语言学的主要概念
原型 范畴化、基本范畴、上下位 命题模式、意象模式、隐喻模式、转喻模式 意象图示
1.原型(prototype):
是物体范畴最好、最 典型的成员, 所有其他成 员也均具有不同程度的典 型性。
eg1. 在英语的世界图景中, 鸟的原型为画眉鸟;而对于 母语为俄语的人而言则是 麻雀; 麻雀在中国人的认 知意义中也具有典型意义。

Parole is the actual phenomena or data of linguistics, which is subject to personal and situational constraints and always a naturally occurring event.2.Phonetics & Phonology (语音学与音位学)Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, including three main areas: articulatory phonetics (发音语音学), acoustic phonetics(声学语音学), auditory Phonetics(听觉语音学). Phonology is the study of sound systems—the invention of distinctive speech sounds that occur in a language and the patterns. 3. Open-class word & Closed-class word(开放类词与封闭类词)Open-class words: whose membership is in principle infinite or unlimited. e.g. n. v. adj. adv. E.g. regarding / with regard to throughout, in spite of Closed words : their membership is fixed or limited. E.g. pro. prep. conj. art. etc. 4. Immediate Constituent Analysis(直接成分分析法)The relation between a sentence and its component elements is a Construction(结构体)and its Constituents(成分). To analyze their relations is IC. 5. Sense & Reference(意义与所指)Sense: The literal meaning of a word or an expression, independence of situational context. Reference: The relation between words and the things, actions, events and qualities they stand for. 6. Metaphor & Metonymy (隐喻与转喻)Metaphor involves the comparison of two concepts in that one is construed in terms of the other. E.g. All the world is a stage. Metonymy : in the cognitive literature, is defined as a cognitive process in which the vehicle provides mental access to the target within the same domain. E.g. the crown can stand for a king, and the White House for the American government. 7. Performatives & Constatives(施为句与表述句)Performatives: In speech act theory an utterance which performs an act, such as Watch out. Constatives: An utterance which asserts something that is either true or false. E.g. Chicago is in the United States.二:问答题(3个) 1. What are the designed features of Language?“Design features”here refer to the defining properties of human language that tell the difference between human language and any system of animal communication, including: 1. Arbitrariness refers to the fact that the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meanings. 2. duality refers to the property of having two levels of structures. 3. creativity means that language is resourceful because of its duality and recursiveness.(递归性)4. displacement means that human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present at the moment of communication. 5. Cultural Transmission means that language is not biologically transmitted from generation to generation, but that the details of the linguistic system must be learned by each speaker. 2. What is Iconicity(句法像似性)?How to analyze some language phenomena with Iconicity? In functional-cognitive linguistics, as well as in semiotics, iconicity is the conceived similarity or analogy between the form of a sign and its meaning, as opposed to arbitrariness. We can analyze some language phenomena with the Iconic principles. Proximity principle: conceptual distance tends to match with linguistic distance, e.g. “give sb sth”and “give sth to sb” Quantity principle: conceptual complexity corresponds to formal complexity, e.g. “apple, tree”, “apple tree”and “apple trees”. Sequential order principle: the sequential order of events described is mirrored in the speech chain, e.g. “I came, I saw, Iconquered”. 3. What is prototype theory(原形范畴)? How to analyze some language phenomena with prototype theory? Prototype theory is a mode of graded categorization in cognitive science, where some members of a category are more central than others. For example, when asked to give an example of the concept furniture, chair is more frequently cited than, say, stool. We can analyze some language phenomena with its three levels in categories. basic level: This is the level where we perceive the most differences between “objects”in the word.E.g, all categories of dogs are different, but they still share enough to be distinguished from cats, birds, snakes,etc. superordinate level: Superordinate categories are the most general ones. E.g, if someone asks you to think of a plant, you might think of a tree or a flower. subordinate level: They have clearly identifiable gestalts(完形)and lots of individual specific features. At this level we perceive the differences between members od the basic level categories, like rain coat,apple juice and wheel chair.4. What is figure and ground theory? How to analyze some language phenomena with figure and ground theory? The figure within a scene is a substructure perceived as "standing out" from the remainder(the ground) and accorded special prominence as the pivotal(关键的)entity around which the scene is organized and for which it provides a setting. For example, you see words on a printed paper as the "figure" and the white sheet as the "background". It is believed that the selection and arrangement of the information in syntactic structure are decided by the degrees of salience of it. For example, “The car crashed into the tree”and “The tree was hit by the car”, in these two sentences, the meanings are the same, but by arranging the positions of the subject and object differently, the focus and prominence are different.5. How to analyze some language phenomena with Metaphor and Metonymy? We can analyze some language phenomena with metaphor through its three categories. 1. Ontological metaphor: e.g inflation is backing us to conner. In this sentence, regarding inflation as an entity allows human beings to refer to it, identify it, treat it as a case. 2. Structural metaphor imply how one concept is metaphorically structured in terms of another. For example, “Argument is war”leads to an English expression like “Your claims are indefensible”. 3. Orientional metaphor gives a concept a spatial orientation. For example, “I’m feeling up”shows erect posture is related with a positive state, and vise versa.6. What is Speech Act theory? What is Illocutionary Act? What is Cooperative Principle? The speech act theory was originated with John Austin. A speech act is an utterance that has performative function in language and communication. Speech acts are commonly taken to include such acts as promising, ordering, greeting, warning, etc. Illocutionary act means when we speak, we not only produce some units of language with certain meanings, but also make clear our purpose in producing them, the way we intend them to be understood, or they also have certain forces. Cooperative Principle refers to the “co-operation”between speakers in using the maxims during the conversation. There are four conversational maxims: the maxim of quantity, the maxim of quality, the maxim of relation, the maxim of manner. 三.语言学家及其理论、作品配对 1.

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 2. 语言的起源:the bow-wow theory, the pooh-pooh theory, the yo-he-yo theory. 3. 语言的功能:interpersonal function(人际功能),performative function(行事),emotive,expressive,phatic communication(寒暄),recreational,metalingual.4. 语言学的主要分支:phonetics[articulatory, acoustic(physical properties), auditory], phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics.5. 语音属于言语,音位属于语言,音位(phoneme)是最小的语音单位,语素(morpheme)是语法意义中最小的语言单位,单词(word)是语言最小的自由单位。

国外类比翻译的例子

国外类比翻译的例子

国外类比翻译的例子摘要:摘要类比型术语由于类比方法的特征及其扩展性,表现出语言符号的象似性。

从认知语言学和功能语言学来看,这样构成的术语义理与原词相通,翻译时可相互参照。

因此,通过类比型术语研究找出术语的某些相同构词特征可以提高翻译的效率与准确性。

一引言随着科技的不断发展,新学科成倍增长,术语在信息时代的不断涌现,可以用“爆炸”两字来描述。

据抽样统计,它们占科技英语文献的60%。

[1]术语翻译同样随着术语量的增长而成为科技翻译的一个重要部分。

找出术语的某些相同构词特征有助于提高翻译的效率与准确性。

类比(analogy)是一种特殊的比喻,是两类事物或两种情境(本体和喻体)之间扩展的或复杂的比喻。

它是把具有两个或多个相似点、义理相通的两个不同的事物并列进行平行比较,使其相互参照,来解释问题,阐明事理。

不论是作为修辞格还是生活中的普遍思维模式,类比“反映出人类最为普遍的思维方式”[2],都有其扩展性和理据性。

在现代英语中,类比构词(word-formation by analogy)指仿照原有的同类词创造出其对应或近似词,[3]是一种实用而又活跃的构词方式。

在此笔者拟对类比型术语的构词特征、构词方法和翻译原则作一些探讨。

二类比构词的象似性特征西方学者指出,术语是语言符号[1]。

根据皮尔斯(C.S.Pierce)的符号学理论,语言符号具有高度的象似性。

认知语言学认为,人类在对现实世界感知体验和认知加工的基础上形成概念和概念结构,语言是现实世界经由人类认知加工而形成的结果。

认知先于语言,决定语言,是语言的基础,语言形式不仅与客观的现实之间,而且在许多方面与人们的经验结构、概念结构、所表意义之间存在映照性相似现象。

功能主义语言学家认为,语言的结构,如词的结构,既然要受一般认知有关的象似性支配,语言智能就不可能独立于其他认知智能,语言的构词部分也不可能独立于音系、词素、语义等其他部分。

语言学可以从采集到的语料中分析出语法规则、语音规则、以及语词的“组合”和“聚合”现象。

认知功能语言学

认知功能语言学

认知功能语言学——Defining cognitive linguistics 认知功能语言学 认知语言学简介 认知语言学的语言观及本质 认知语言学的属性 主要代表人物及流派 认知方式——比较/范畴化一、认知语言学简介 上世纪70年代,认知语言学研究兴起于美国西海岸,80年代开始活跃起来,继而扩展到西欧和全球,形成对乔姆斯基革命的又一场革命。

1989年国际认知语言学学会成立,每两年举行一次会议,1990年起开始出版期刊Cognitive Linguistics。

中国的认知语言学研究目前正方兴未艾。

几年前成立了中国认知语言学研究会,每两年举行一次会议。

二、认知语言学的语言观及本质语言观 认知语言学崇尚体验哲学,以建设性心智主义、互动论和联通论为心理学基础。

它批判语言天赋说,坚持从体验性认知的角度来解释语言。

认知语言学认为,语言最重要的功能在于表达意义,语义必须置于语言研究的首位。

意义即概念化(conceptualization),是客观现实、身体体验、认知方式、知识框架等多种因素共同作用的结果。

它强调认知方式和主观性在语义形成中的作用,同时也重视社会文化和百科知识对于语义解读的必要性。

语言本质而是代表着一种或一组研究取向 认知语言学并非专门的理论,。

该领域的学者对语言的本质有着共同的看法,至少在以下三个方面具有一致性。

(Taylor)认 第一,质疑乔姆斯基语言学提出的语言专用模块(language-specific module)说,为语言能力内嵌于一般的认知能力和过程之中,心智()中不存在独立的语言mind模块。

语形 第二,认为语言是一开放的系统,由一系列符号单位组成,符号单位分为()和语义phonological(semantic)两个极,相当于索绪尔的能指和所指,因此,认知语言学是向索绪尔符号系统说的回归。

第三,与第二点相联系,认为由语素组成的词项和词组成的短语,以及现时语法分都析中常见的主语和动词、修饰和被修饰、主从等关系也是符号单位或符号结构,是有意义的词法和句法结构都是符号。

cognitive-functional model

cognitive-functional model

cognitive-functional model是一个认知心理学的模型,它探讨的是人的心理功能与认知过程的关系。

这个模型认为,人的认知过程是通过心理功能对信息进行加工和处理,从而实现对外部世界的感知、理解和反应。

在这个模型中,认知过程可以看作是一个黑箱系统,输入信息进入黑箱后,经过一系列的加工和处理,最终输出处理结果,这个过程是由认知系统完成的。

认知系统是由一系列的认知元素组成的,每个认知元素都有自己的功能和作用。

cognitive-functional model的一个重要特点是它强调认知过程的灵活性和适应性。

它认为,人的认知过程不是固定的,而是可以根据不同的任务和环境进行灵活的调整和改变。

这个模型也强调认知过程与环境的交互作用,认为人的认知过程是人在与外部环境的交互作用中不断发展和变化的。

此外,cognitive-functional model还强调认知过程的多层面性,认为人的认知过程不仅涉及到大脑的神经生理层面,还涉及到语言、思维、情感等高级认知层面。

这些层面之间相互作用、相互影响,共同构成了一个复杂的认知系统。

总之,cognitive-functional model是一个综合性的认知心理学模型,它探讨的是人的认知过程和心理功能的关系,为人们深入理解人的认知过程提供了重要的理论框架和方法指导。

认知语言学

认知语言学

• 认知语言学代表人物
• 乔治· 雷可夫 (George P. Lakoff1941年-):认知语言 学的其中一位创立者,提倡比喻(隐喻)是日常语言 活动中的必须认知能力。 • 朗奴· 兰盖克 (Ronald Langacker,1942年12月27日-): 认知文法的提倡者。 • 戴浩一:台湾国立中正大学语言学研究所教授, 是少数专长于认知语言学的华人。 • 王士元:香港中文大学现代语言学系暨中研院院 士,另一少数专长于认知语言学的华人。
• 3.上下位:
以基本层次范畴为中心,范畴可向上发展为 上位,范畴向下发展为下位。
例如:Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy, We must follow the principle of combining。(农业是国民经济的 基础,我们要坚持农林牧副渔相结合的方针) 分析:第一个“农业”指的是农业经济,具 有广泛意义,因此译“agriculture”;第二个 “农业”具有专指意义,所以要译成下位词 “farming”,才能准确地表达原意。
二、认知语言学的主要概念
• 原型 • 范畴化、基本范畴 • 上下位 • 隐喻模式、转喻模式
• 1.原型(prototype):
原型范畴理论是认知语言学提出的重要观点 , 其哲学根源基于 “家族相似性 ”。它是物体范 畴最好、最典型的成员, 而其他成员有的典型性 显著,有的具有非典型性、处于范畴的边缘位置。 如:在“鸟”这个范畴中,知更鸟是最典型 的成员,因为它具有这个范畴的所有特性。而鸵 鸟、企鹅、蝙蝠则处于“鸟”的范畴的边缘位置, 它们和知更鸟共有的特性非常少。
• 四、认知语言学优与缺
• 1.优点
• • • • 提供自然的、符合人们语感的分析 注重概念化对语法的影响 对语言的共性和历史的成功解释 常利用图解的办法,准确而简明地把一个复杂的语 法范畴系统表达出来 • 洞察跨词类之间的共性 • 把动态的认知过程引入语法分析 • 确立语义和句法之间的“一对一”映射关系

Morphology studies how words can be formed to produce meaningful sentences. F9. The study of the ways in which morphemes can be combined to form words is called morphology. T10. Syntax is different from morphology in that the former not only studies the morphemes, but also the combination of morphemes into words and words into sentences. T11. The study of meaning in language is known as semantics. T12. Both semantics and pragmatics study meanings. T13. Pragmatics is different from semantics in that pragmatics studies meaning not in isolation, but in context. T14. Social changes can often bring about language changes. T15. Sociolinguistics is the study of language in relation to society. T16. Modern linguistics is mostly prescriptive, but sometimes descriptive. T17. Modern linguistics is different from traditional grammar.18. A diachronic study of language is the description of language at some point in time. T19.

Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:21. Chomsky defines “competence” as the ideal user’s k__________ of the rules of his language.22. Langue refers to the a__________ linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community while the parole is the concrete use of the conventions and application of the rules.23. D_________ is one of the design features of human language which refers to the phenomenon that language consists of two levels: a lower level of meaningless individual sounds and a higher level of meaningful units.24. Language is a system of a_________ vocal symbols used for human communication.25.

Human capacity for language has a g_______ basis, but the details of language have to be taught and learned.27. P _______ refers to the realization of langue in actual use.28. Findings in linguistic studies can often be applied to the settlement of some practical problems. The study of such applications is generally known as a________ linguistics.29. Language is p___________ in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. In other words, they can produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences which they have never heard before.30. Linguistics is generally defined as the s _______ study of language.Ⅲ. There are four choices following each statement. Mark the choice that can best complete the statement:31. If a linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use, it is said to be _______.A. prescriptiveB. analyticC. descriptiveD. linguistic32.

Productivity54. Displacement55. Duality56. Design Features57. Competence58. Performance59. Langue60. ParoleⅤ. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give examples for illustration if necessary:61. Language is generally defined as a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human commu- nication. Explain it in detail.62. What are the design features of human language? Illustrate them with examples.63. How is modern linguistics different from traditional grammar?64. How do you understand the distinction between a synchronic study and a diachronic study?65. Why does modern linguistics regard the spoken form of language as primary, not the written?66. What are the major distinctions between langue and parole?67. How do you understand competence and performance?68. Saussure’s distinction between langue and parole seems similar to Chomsky’s distinction between competence and performance. What do you think are their major differences?69. Do you think human language is entirely arbitrary? Why?Chapter 2 PhonologyⅠ. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False:1. Voicing is a phonological feature that distinguishes meaning in both Chinese and English.2. If two phonetically similar sounds occur in the same environments and they distinguish meaning, they are said to be in complementary distribution.3. A phone is a phonetic unit that distinguishes meaning.4. English is a tone language while Chinese is not.5. In linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing.6. In everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed.7. Articulatory phonetics tries to describe the physical properties of the stream of sounds which a speaker issues with the help of a machine called spectrograph.8. The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important areas: the throat, the mouth and the chest.9. Vibration of the vocal cords results in a quality of speech sounds called voicing.10. English consonants can be classified in terms of place of articulation and the part of the tongue that is raised the highest.11. According to the manner of articulation, some of the types into which the consonants can be classified are stops, fricatives, bilabial and alveolar.12. Vowel sounds can be differentiated by a number of factors: the position of tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels.13. According to the shape of the lips, vowels can be classified into close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels and open vowels.14. Any sound produced by a human being is a phoneme.15. Phones are the sounds that can distinguish meaning.16. Phonology is concerned with how the sounds can be classified into different categories.17. A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning.18. When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a phonemic contrast.19. The rules governing the phonological patterning are language specific.20. Distinctive features of sound segments can be found running over a sequence of two or more phonemic segments.Ⅱ. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:21. A_______ refers to a strong puff of air stream in the production of speech sounds.22. A_______ phonetics describes the way our speech organs work to produce the speech sounds and how they differ.23. The four sounds /p/, /b/, /m/ and /w/ have one feature in common, i.e., they are all b_______ sounds.24. Of all the speech organs, the t_______ is the most flexible, and is responsible for varieties of articulation than any other.25. English consonants can be classified in terms of manner of articulation or in terms of p_______ of articulation.26. When the obstruction created by the speech organs is total or complete, the speech sound produced with the obstruction audibly released and the air passing out again is called a s________.27. S_________ features are the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments. They include stress, tone, intonation, etc.28. The rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language are called s_______ rules.29. The transcription of speech sounds with letter-symbols only is called broad transcription while the transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics is called n_________ transcription.30. When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they arecollectively known as i_________.31. P___________ is a discipline which studies the system of sounds of a particular language and how sounds are combined into meaningful units to effect linguistic communication.32. The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important cavities: the pharyngeal cavity, the o_______ cavity and the nasal cavity.33. T_______ are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords and which can distinguish meaning just like phonemes.34. Depending on the context in which stress is considered, there are two kinds of stress: word stress and s_________ stress.Ⅲ. There are four choices following each statement. Mark the choice that can best complete the statement:35 Of all the speech organs, the _______ is/are the most flexible.A. mouthB. lipsC. tongueD. vocal cords36. The sounds produced without the vocal cords vibrating are ____ sounds.A. voicelessB. voicedC. vowelD. consonantal37. __________ is a voiced alveolar stop.A. /z/B. /d/C. /k/D. /b/38. The assimilation rule assimilates one sound to another by “copying”a feature of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones ____________.A. identicalB. sameC. exactly alikeD. similar39. Since /p/ and /b/ are phonetically similar, occur in the same environments and they can distinguish meaning, they are said to be ___________.A. in phonemic contrastB. in complementary distributionC. the allophonesD. minimal pair40. The sound /f/ is _________________.A. voiced palatal affricateB. voiced alveolar stopC. voiceless velar fricativeD. voiceless labiodental fricative41. A ____ vowel is one that is produced with the front part of the tongue maintaining the highest position.A. backB. centralC. frontD. middle42. Distinctive features can be found running over a sequence of two or more phonemic segments. The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called _______.A. phonetic componentsB. immediate constituentsC. suprasegmental featuresD. semantic features43. A(n) ___________ is a unit that is of distinctive value. It is an abstract unit, a collection of distinctive phonetic features.A. phoneB. soundC. allophoneD. phoneme44.The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the ____ of that phoneme.A. phonesB. soundsC. phonemesD. allophonesⅣ. Define the terms below:45. phonology46. phoneme47. allophone48. international phonetic alphabet 49. intonation 50. phonetics51. auditory phonetics52. acoustic phonetics53. phone54. phonemic contrast55. tone56. minimal pairⅤ.

5.语法功能
语法功能是最具体的一种功能,它是纯理功能在语 言系统中的体现形式。
五种功能的关系
纯理功能产生于宏观功能,宏观 功能产生于微观功能,语法功能是纯 理功能在 词汇和语法层中的具体体现, 人们平时对语言的实际运用,构成了 一般意义上的语言功能。
系统功能语言学与语篇分析
功能语言学之所以不同于形式主义语言学的一个重 要方面在于前者视语篇为语言研究的基本单位和出发点, 而后者将语言研究的单位局限于句子的范围之内。系统 功能语言学在研究句法结构时突破了句本位思想,重视 对语篇的研究。Halliday(1994)明确地将系统功能 语法称为“语篇语法”(discourse grammar)。认 为语篇指的是任何长度的,在语义上完整的口头或书面 的语段。
法国学派
Martinet Kristeva
三个独创之处:语言的双重分节;语言的经济 原则;语言的现实主义原则。
Martinet认为尽管语言可以发挥表达、交际和 审美等多种功能,但交际功能才是语言的“中 心功能”,在语言研究的各个方面都应该贯穿 功能主义。
她 于 1967 年 首 先 创 造 “ 互 文 性 ” (intertextuality)这个术语,并把它引入文本 分析和文学批评。所谓“互文”(intertext) 指的是存在于其他语篇之间的语篇;所谓“互 文性”指的就是不同语篇之间的这种相互关系。

Cognitive Linguistic

Cognitive Linguistic

Linguistic Coursework---Cognitive LinguisticsLinguistic course/work-----Cognitive LinguisticsIntroductionCognitive Linguistics is a new approach to linguistics which appeared in the late 1980s and it has grown rapidly at home and abroad, and has gradually turned into the major school of linguistics. To cognitive linguists, language not only enables communication, but also reflects mankind’s conceptual world. In other words, linguistic categories not only enable us to communicate, but also impose a certain way of understanding of the world. It integrates the research ways of language typology and functional linguistics, depicting and elaborating the constitution of human language.Cognitive Linguistics presents a forum for high-quality linguistic research on topics which investigate the interaction between language and cognition. Compared with linguistic structuralism, which sparked off substitution drills, and speech act theory, which initiated a complete reorganization of teaching strategies, the impact of cognitive linguistics is much less revolutionary. Yet the influence of cognitive linguistics may prove very valuable, because it lends theoretical support to a number of accepted teaching approaches in the fields of both vocabulary and grammar.The most influential linguists focusing centrally on cognitive principles and organization were Wallace Chafe, Charles Fillmore, George Lakoff, Ronald Langacker, and Leonard Talmy etc. Masterpieces including: Handbook of Pragmatics、What Categories Reveal about the Mind、Metaphors we Live by、Foundations of Cognitive Grammar、An introduction to Cognitive Linguistics etc. At present, the study of cognitive linguistics is very active in Europe and the United States .Cognitive linguistics in the two research center in the United States has formed two different schools: Berkeley School( Lakoff、Fillmore、Kay、Sweetser) and San Diego School(Langacker、Fauconnier). The Foundations of Cognitive Grammar was written by Langacker, father of Cognitive Linguistics. This book introduces a new and fundamentally different conception of language structure and linguistic investigation.The central claim of cognitive grammar is that grammar forms a continuum with lexicon and is fully describable in terms of symbolic units (i.e. form-meaning pairings). In contrast to current orthodoxy, Langacker argues that grammar is not autonomous with respect to semantics, but rather reduces to patterns for the structuring and symbolization of conceptual content. "Understanding Langacker's grammar is made easier by the fact that, instead of using mathematical formalisms to prove his points, he uses common knowledge of language to persuade the reader. . . . The book is valuable for several factors in addition to its clarification of grammar. The insights into verbal thought and meaning are prime reasons for recommending the book to the semantically inclined."--Et ceteraI. Main theories of Cognitive LinguisticsOn the basis of non-objectivist philosophy, Cognitive Linguistics extensively assimilates the research findings and analytical methods of the disciplines studying humans ‘cognitive activities. Therefore, we need to have a better understanding of cognition and cognitive science.Cognition is the mental process caused in thinking, remembering, perceiving, recognizing, clarifying etc. Cognitive science is a discipline which draws on research in linguistics, psycholinguistics, and cognitive psychology and Artificial Intelligence. Cognitive Science deals with the scientific study of thinking reasoning and intellectual processes of the mind. It is concerned with how knowledge is represented in the mind, how language is understood and with what the mental processes underlying, inferencing, learning, problem-solving and planning. Cognitive linguistics is an approach to language that is based on our experience of the world and the way we perceive and conceptualize it. Because cognitive linguistics sees language as embedded in the overall cognitive capacities of man, topics of special interest for cognitive linguistics include: the structural characteristics of natural language categorization (such as prototypicality, systematic polysemy, cognitive models, mental imagery and metaphor); the functional principles of linguistic organization (such as iconicity and naturalness); the conceptual interface between syntax and semantics (as explored by cognitive grammar and construction grammar); theexperiential and pragmatic background of language-in-use; and the relationship between language and thought, including questions about relativism and conceptual universals. In this summary, Cognitive linguistics is divided into three main areas of study: Cognitive semantics, dealing mainly with lexical semantics, separating semantics (meaning) into meaning-construction and knowledge representation. Cognitive approaches to grammar, dealing mainly with syntax, morphology and other traditionally more grammar-oriented areas. Cognitive phonology,dealing with classification of various correspondences between morphemes and phonetic sequences.II. Language study methods of Cognitive LinguisticsCognitive Linguistics grew out of the work of a number of researchers active in the 1970s who were interested in the relation of language and mind, and who did not follow the prevailing tendency to explain linguistic patterns by means of appeals to structural properties internal to and specific to language. Rather than attempting to segregate syntax from the rest of language in a 'syntactic component' governed by a set of principles and elements specific to that component, the line of research followed instead was to examine the relation of language structure to things outside language: cognitive principles and mechanisms not specific to language, including principles of human categorization; pragmatic and interactional principles; and functional principles in general, such as iconicity and economy. Cognitive Linguists began developing their own approach to language description and linguistic theory, centered on a particular set of phenomena and concerns. One of the important assumptions shared by all of these scholars is that meaning is so central to language that it must be a primary focus of study. Linguistic structures serve the function of expressing meanings and hence the mappings between meaning and form are a prime subject of linguistic analysis. Linguistic forms, in this view, are closely linked to the semantic structures they are designed to express. Semantic structures of all meaningful linguistic units can and should be investigated. These views were in direct opposition to the ideas developing at the time within Chomskyan linguistics, in which meaning was 'interpretive' and peripheral to the study of language. The central objectof interest in language was syntax. The structures of language were in this view not driven by meaning, but instead were governed by principles essentially independent of meaning. Thus, the semantics associated with morphosyntactic structures did not require investigation; the focus was on language-internal structural principles as explanatory constructs.III. Features and Controversy of Cognitive LinguisticsCognitive linguistics is characterized by adherence to three central positions. First, it denies that there is anautonomous linguistic faculty in the mind; second, it understands grammar in terms of conceptualization; and third, it claims that knowledge of language arises out of language use. Cognitive linguists deny that the mind has any module for language-acquisition that is unique and autonomous. This stands in contrast to the stance adopted in the field of generative grammar. Although cognitive linguists do not necessarily deny that part of the human linguistic ability is innate, they deny that it is separate from the rest of cognition. They thus reject a body of opinion in cognitive science suggesting that there is evidence for the modularity of language. They argue that knowledge of linguistic phenomena —i.e., phonemes,morphemes, and syntax—is essentially conceptual in nature. Departing from the tradition of truth-conditional semantics, cognitive linguists view meaning in terms of conceptualization. Instead of viewing meaning in terms of models of the world, they view it in terms of mental spaces. Finally, cognitive linguistics argues that language is both embodied and situated in a specific environment. This can be considered a moderate offshoot of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, in that language and cognition mutually influence one another, and are both embedded in the experiences and environments of its users. However, there is significant peer review and debate within the field of linguistics regarding cognitive linguistics. Critics of cognitive linguistics have argued that most of the evidence from the cognitive view comes from the research in pragmatics and semantics on research into metaphor and preposition choice. They suggest that cognitive linguists should provide cognitive re-analyses of topics in syntax and phonology that are understood in terms of autonomous knowledge. There is also controversy and debate within the field concerning therepresentation and status of idioms in grammar and the actual mental grammar of speakers. On one hand it is asserted that idiom variation needs to be explained with regard to general and autonomous syntactic rules. Another view says such idioms do not constitute semantic units and can be processed compositionally.IV. Cognitive Linguistics in L2 teachingAt present, Cognitive Linguistics has been widely recognized in the world. There have been a large number of scholars and experts in cognitive linguistics, and a number of Cognitive Science Colleges have been established in the United States and other European countries. Cognitive Linguistics has made a positive contribution to the development of modern linguistics. Compared with other linguistic theories, cognitive linguistics is new and has had little influence on language teaching and learning .Yet it provides a new perspective on language, especially on vocabulary and grammar.In vocabulary teaching, it has slways been a golden rule that we should teach the words for basic level categories to the children first. Cognitive Linguistics reviews that we approach hierarchies of classifications from the center, that we concentrate on basic level categories such as dogs and cats and that our hierarchies are anchored in these basic level categories, These basic categories words correspond to the core vocabulary in a language, and they play an important role in daily life communication. There is a pitfall in English vocabulary learning, i.e. , some people pursue the quantity of vocabulary and neglect the quality of the core vocabulary learning. The result is that although these people can memorize a lot of difficult words, they still cannot read or wrote properly.The findings in cognitive linguistics are also useful in teaching grammar. We can choose a cognitive approach to grammar that is based on schemata, on prototypes or on basic level categories. One prominent characteristic shared by these approaches is that they all manage to bridge the gap between formal syntax and morphology on the one hand and the semantic aspects of grammar on the other by relating them both to a common conceptual basis. This liberation from the form/content division is probably the most important contribution that cognitive linguistics has made to pedagogicalgrammar and language teaching.V. ConclusionCognitive linguistics involves a wide range of disciplines,with abundant research content and novel subjects, and bears the unparalleled advantages compared with other linguistic theories.Therefore, we need not only comprehend its basic principles, but also apply them to analyze the branches of linguistics, directing at the hot issues which have just emerged in cognitive linguistics. Since this linguistic theory itself is in constant change, and because of its methodological problems and theoretical problems, there is a long way before it becomes a mature theory for language teaching and learning. Nevertheless it remains the most prospective and promising area of research.Reference1. Langacker, Ronald W. 1987. Foundations of Cognitive Grammar Vol. 1: Theoretical Prerequisites.

Lecture 1认知语言学An Introduction to Cognitive LinguisticsⅠ. Introduction1.What is Cognitive Linguistics?Cognitive linguistics (CL) refers to the branch of linguistics that interprets language in terms of the concepts, sometimes universal, sometimes specific to a particular tongue, which underlie its forms. It is thus closely associated with semantics but is distinct from psycholinguistics, which draws upon empirical findings from cognitive psychology in order to explain the mental processes that underlie the acquisition, storage, production and understanding of speech and writing. Cognitive linguistics is characterized by adherence to three major hypotheses as guiding the cognitive linguistic approach to language:1) Language is not an autonomous cognitive faculty; (语言不是自主的认知能力)2) grammar is conceptualization; (语法是概念化)3) knowledge of language arises out of language use.(语言知识来源于语言的使用)Cognitive linguists deny that the mind has any module for language-acquisition that is unique and autonomous. This stands in contrast to the stance adopted in the field of generative grammar. Although cognitive linguists do not necessarily deny that part of the human linguistic ability is innate, they deny that it is separate from the rest of cognition. They thus reject a body of opinion in cognitive science which suggests that there is evidence for the modularity of language. They argue that knowledge of linguistic phenomena —i.e., phonemes, morphemes, and syntax —is essentially conceptual in nature. However, they assert that the storage and retrieval of linguistic data is not significantly different from the storage and retrieval of other knowledge, and that use of language in understanding employs similar cognitive abilities to those used in other non-linguistic tasks.Departing from the tradition of truth-conditional semantics, cognitive linguists view meaning in terms of conceptualization. Instead of viewing meaning in terms of models of the world, they view it in terms of mental spaces.Finally, cognitive linguistics argues that language is both embodied and situated in a specific environment. This can be considered a moderate offshoot of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, (The linguistic relativity principle , also known as the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, is the idea that the varying cultural concepts and categories inherent in different languages affect the cognitive classification of the experienced world in such a way that speakers of different languages think and behave differently because of it.)in that language and cognition mutually influence one another, and are both embedded in the experiences and environments of its users.2.认知语言学的诞生(The birth of cognitive linguistics)A.起始阶段(The initial stage)认知语言学兴起于20世纪70年代,20世纪80年代以后迅猛发展。

Universal Semantics
Language has means for making reference to the objects, relations, properties and events that popu-late our everyday world. It is possible to suppose that these linguistic categories and structures are more or less straightforward mappings from a pre-existing conceptual space, programmed into our biological nature. Humans invent words that label their concepts.

Universality of Semantics
The Universal Thesis Semantics The Language-Specific Semantics Thesis Semantic structure is language specific, involving layers of conventional imagery. Semantic structure is conventionalized conceptual structure, and grammar is the conventional symbolization of semantic structure.
Economy must be consistent with psychological reality. The grammar of a language represents conventional linguistic knowledge and includes all linguistic structures learned as established “units”. “Content units” coexist in the grammar with subsuming “schemas”.
Only semantic, phonological, and bipolar symbolic units are posited. Sharp dichotomies are usually found only by arbitrarily selecting examples from opposite endpoints of a continuum.

Six Theses About Grammar
In “The English Passive”, chapter 4 in Concept, Image, and Symbol (1991), R. W. Langacker compares six theses about grammar – “accepted virtually without question by many theorists” (e.g. generativists) – with the corresponding cognitive view. They are listed on the next slide. Afterwards, we shall look at each of them in detail.
Supporting the autonomy of syntax thesis, it can be presumed that semantic struc-ture is universal, while gram-matical structure varies greatly from language to language.
Cognitive-Functional Linguistics – Some Basic Tenets II
Why did we introduce the terms entrenchment, abstraction, comparison, composition, and association?
The first answer: “Regarding the issue of innate specification I make no a priori claims. I do however subscribe to the general strategy in cognitive and functional linguistics of deriving language structure insofar as possible from the more general psychological capacities (e.g. perception, memory, categorization), positing inborn language-specific structures only as a last resort.”
– including morphemes or words, idioms, partially lexically filled and fully general phrasal patterns.

Rules and Lists – 2
If speakers in fact master and manipulate both lists (particular statements) and rules (general statements) from which these lists could be predicted, a truthful description of their linguistic knowledge must contain both the lists and the rules.

Autonomy of Syntax
The Autonomous Syntax Thesis The Symbolic Syntax Thesis
As a special case of the modularity of grammar, syntax is an autono-mous component dis-tinct from both seman-tics and lexicon.
R. W. Langacker (2000: 2)
June 19, 2006 RT/CFL 2
Why did we introduce the terms entrenchment, abstraction, comparison, composition, and association?
The second answer: “The usage-based model … is applicable to all domains of language structure: semantics, phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax. A linguistic system comprises large numbers of conventional units in each domain … A few basic psychological phenomena … [apply] repeatedly in all domains and at many levels of organization ….”
Syntax is not autonomous, but symbolic, forming a continuum with lexicon and morphology. Syntactic units are bipolar, with semantic and phonological poles.
