语言学Ⅰ. 语言的性质●Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.It is a means of verbal communication(言语交际).●Design FeaturesThe features that define our human languages can be called design features.⑴Arbitrariness(任意性)⑵Duality(二重性)⑶Creativity/Productivity(多产性)⑷Displacement(易境性)⑸Cultural Transmission (文化传递性)⑴Arbitrariness(任意性)The forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meaning. e.x. pen--/pen/ book/buk/Different levels of Arbitrarinessa.Arbitrariness relationship between the sound of a morpheme(语素) and its meaning.e.x. 叮咚,轰隆English—wow wow Chinese: wangwangwangIt is only then you know the meaning that you infer that the form is appropriate.b.Arbitrariness at the syntactic levelSyntax is less arbitrary than words, and the most strictly arbitrary level of language exists in the distinctive units of sounds.c.Arbitrariness and convention (约定俗成)Arbitrariness of language makes conventionality(约定俗成性) potentially creative.⑵Duality(二重性)-- The property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels has its own principles of organization.the secondary unites: sounds(meaningless)the primary unites: words(have distinct and identifiable meaning)⑶Creativity/Productivity(多产性)Language is resourceful because of its duality and excursiveness(递归性—the potential to create endless sentences).⑷Displacement(易境性)-- It is means that human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are nor present(in time and space) at the moment of communication.●Functions of Language⑴Informative(信息功能)⑵Interpersonal function(人际功能)—how the personal relations being established⑶Performative (行事性功能)—how language woks in real world⑷Emotive function(表情功能)—enable users to express whatever feelings they have⑸Phatic communication(寒暄功能)—the social interaction of language/ helps to define and maintain interpersonalrelations⑹Recreational function(娱乐功能)— a poetic function⑺Metalingual function(元语言功能)—language can be used to talk about languageThe lion are the unicorn all round the town.All along the town the lion ate the unicorn.The change in liner order changes our perspective about the concerns of the clause.Ⅱ. Linguistics 语言学●Linguistics is a science which takes language as its object of investigation.We must learn linguistics①systematically—beginning+engding②objectively—does according to the facts③exhaustiveness—to collect data as much as possible so as to enrich one’s knowledge andsupport one’s idea●Distinctions of Linguistics (Lyons)⑴Descriptive(描写/描述性的) vs. Prescriptive(规定性的)↖to set up roles for others to follow, designed by↑traditional grammerto talk about something according to something itself⑵Synchronic(共时研究)vs. Diachronic(历时研究)(Swiss: Saussure)Synchronic: takes a fixed instant as its point of observation.Diachronic: is the study of a language through the course of its history. (study language at least in two periods of time) Comparison: Synchronic: what a language is in a period of timeDiachronic: find our the changes from one language to another language⑶Langue(语言) & Parole(言语)(Saussure)Langue: the linguistic competence of the speaker (the abstract system of language)Parole: the actual phenomena or data of linguistics (the actual use of language)Langue govern parole; parole reacts langue⑷Competence(语言能力) & Performance(语言运用)( American: Chomsky)↑↖the linguistic knowledge in the ideal speakers’ mindthe ability of native/ideal speaker of language⑸Etic(非位的) vs. Emic(位学的)(American: Pike)↑↖Phonemics(音位学的),abstract units of languagephonetics(语音学的),something concreateⅢ. Phonetics 语音学●Phonetics study speech sounds, including the production of speech(how speech sounds are actually made, transmitted andreceived), the sounds of speech, the description and classification of speech sounds, words and connected speech.●Consonant: these is an obstruction of the air stream at some point of the vocal tract.V owel: these is no obstruction of the air stream at some point of the vocal tract.Ⅳ. Phonology 音位学●Phonology is the study of sound systems—the invention of distinctive speech sounds that occur in a language and thepatterns wherein they fall.广义的音位学指对自然语言声音系统的一般特种的研究,包括语音学。

第一章概述一、什么是语言?1.Definition of language (语言的定义)Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.(语言是人类用来交流的一套具有任意性的声音符号系统。

)2.Design/distinctive feature of language(语言的定义/本质特征)1)2)3)4)(移位性指语言可以让使用者谈论不在说话之时、说话之地存在的物体、事件和观点)例如:我们在中国可以谈论美国的物体和事件。

5)Cultural transmission(文化传播/文化传递性)Language is passed on from generation to generation through teaching and learning rather than instinct.(文化传播指语言是靠文化传播的,而不是靠父母遗传。

虽然人类的语言能力是天生的,但是语言系统的细节不是靠遗传传递,而是靠学习掌握的。

)二、什么是语言学?Linguistics is a scientific study of language.(语言学是对语言的科学研究)语言学的研究对象不是某特定的语种,而是人类所有的语言,在考察分析大量语言现象的基础上总结语言规律。

语言学家想要回答的基本问题是:什么是语言?语言的机制是什么?人们是如何使用语言实现各种目的的。

三、语言学的重要概念1.descriptive vs. prescriptive(描述性与规定性)描述性研究是现代语言学家采取的基本立场,注重观察分析语言中的事实,目的通常是描述人们一般是怎么说话、写作的。

规定性研究注意总结语言中的标准,目的通常是规定人们应该如何说话、写作。

例如:规定只能用单数、复数2.synchronic vs. diachronic(共时性与历时性)synchronic: the study of a language through the course of its history(共时研究以某个特定时期的语言为研究对象)例如:莎士比亚时代语言研究diachronic: takes a fixed instant as its point of observation(历时研究则研究语言各个阶段的发展变化,研究语言的历史发展规律)ngue vs. parole(语言与言语)该区分是现代语言学鼻祖Saussure提出的。

语言学知识语言学是对语言的系统研究,对于一个学习英语的人来说,应该懂一点语言学的知识,它可以在理论上对学习语言有指导作用,有助于更好的学习语言,下面介绍一点语言学知识。

I. Introduction1. What is LanguageLanguage is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.2. What is Linguistics(语言学)Linguistics is the scientific study of language.3.Some Basic Distinctions(区分) in Linguistics3.1 Speech and WritingOne general principle(原则) of linguistic analysis is the primacy of speech over writing. Writing gives language new scope(范畴) and uses that speech does not have.3.2 Descriptive(描述性) or Prescriptive(说明性)A linguistic study is descriptive if it describes and analyses facts observed; it is prescriptive if it tries to lay down rules for "correct" behavior.3.3 Synchronic(共时) and Diachronic(历时) StudiesThe description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study and The description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study.3.4 Langue(语言) and Parole(言语)This is a distinction made by the Swiss linguist F.De Saussure (索绪尔)early last century. langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community and parole refers to the actualized(实际的) language, or realization of langue.3.5 Competence(能力)and Performance(行为)Competence is the ideal language user's knowledge of the rules of his language. Performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in utterances(发声).4.The Scope of LinguisticsGeneral linguistics is the study of language as a whole.Phonetics(语音学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their description, classification and transcription.Phonology(音韵学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the sound patterns of languages.Morphology(词法) is the branch of linguistics which studies the form of words.Syntax(句法) is the branch of linguistics which studies the rules governing the combination of words into sentences.Semantics(语义学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the meaning of language.Applied linguistics(应用语言学) is the study of the teaching of foreign and second languages.Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society.Psycholinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and the mind.Historical Linguistics(历史语言学) is the study of language changes.Anthropological linguistics(人文语言学) uses the theories and methods of anthropology to study language variation and language use in relation to the cultural patterns and beliefs of man.Neurolinguistics(神经语言学) studies the neurological basis of language development and use in human beings.Mathematical linguistics(数学语言学) studies the mathematical features of language, often employing models and concepts of mathematics.Computational linguistics(计算语言学) is an approach to linguistics in which mathematical techniques and concepts(概念) are applied, often with the aid of a computer.II. Phonetics(语音学)1. scope of phoneticsSpeech sounds may be studied from different angles, thus we have at least three branches of phonetics:Articulatory phonetics(发音语音学)we may examine the way in which a speech sound is produced to discover which vocal organs are involved and how they coordinate(协调)in the process.Auditory phonetics (听觉语音学)we may look into the impression a speaker makes on the hearer as mediated(调节)by the ear, the auditory nerve(神经)and the brain.Acoustic phonetics (声学语音学)we study the physical properties of speech sounds, as transmitted(传送)between mouth and ear.2. The vocal organsThe vocal organs may be viewed as consisting of three parts, the initiator of the air-stream,(气流发生器官)the producer of voice(声音发生器官)and the resonating cavities.(声音共振器官)3. Consonants(辅音)Places of articulation(发音部位): bilabial,(双唇)Labiodentals,(唇齿)dental,(齿)alveolar,(齿龈)retroflex,(卷舌)palate-alveolar,(上齿龈)palatal,(上颚)velar,(软腭)uvular,(小舌)glottal(声门)Manners of articulation: plosive,(暴破)nasal,(鼻音)trill,(颤音)lateral,(边音)fricative,(摩擦)approximant,(近似音)affricate(破擦)4. Vowels (元音)The classification of vowels: the height of tongue raising (high, mid, low), the position of the highest part of the tongue(front, central, back), and the degree of lip rounding(rounded, unrounded)III. Phonology(音韵学)1. phonemes(音素):a distinctive(有区别的)sound in a language.2. Allophones(音位变体):The nondistinctive sounds are members of the same phoneme.3. Minimal pairs(最小对立体):word forms which differ from each other only by one sound.4. Free variation (自由变异):If two sounds occurring in the same environment(环境), they does not produce a different word form, but merely a different pronunciation of the same word.5. Complementary distribution(补充分类):Not all the speech sounds occur in the same environment. When two sounds never occur in the same environment6.Suprasegmental phonology(超音段音位):the study of phonological properties(性质)of units lager than the segment-phoneme. They are syllable(音节),stress,(重音)word stress, sentence stress. pitch (音调)and intonation(语调).IV. Morphology(词法)1. inflection(构形法):the grammatical relationships through the addition of inflectional affixes.(屈折词缀)2. Word-formation(构词):the processes(过程)of word variations signaling lexical relationships.(表明词法关系)They are compound(合成)and derivation (派生).3. Morpheme(词素):the smallest unit in terms of relationship between expression and content.4. Allomorph(同质异象变体):some morphemes have considerable variation, for instance, alternate shapes or phonetic forms.5. Types of morphemes: They are roots,(词根)affix(词缀)and stem(词干).6. Lexicon(语言词汇):in its most general sense, is synonymous with vocabulary.7. Closed-class words(封闭性)and open-class words(开放性):the former whose membership is fixed or limited and the latter whose membership is in principle(实际上)indefinite or unlimited.8. Word class(词性):It displays a wider range of more precisely defined classes.9. Lexeme(词位):the smallest unit in the meaning system of a language that can be distinguished from other smaller units.10. Idiom(习语,成语):Most phrasal lexemes are idioms. It is especially true for a sequence of words(词序)which is semantically(语义上)and often syntactically(句法上)restricted.(限制)11. Collocation(搭配):the habitual(习惯的)co-occurrences (同时出现)of individual lexical items.V. Syntax (句法)1. Positional relation or word order(词序):the sequential(顺序)arrangement of wordsin a language.2. Construction or constituent (句子结构):the overall process of internal (内部)organization of a grammatical unit .3. Syntactic function(句法功能):the relationship between a linguistic form and other parts of the linguistic pattern in which it is used. The names of functions are expressed in terms of subjects, objects, predicates, modifiers,(修饰语)complements(补语), etc.4. Category(范畴):It refers to classes and functions in its narrow sense, e.g. noun, verb, subject, predicate, noun phrase, verb phrase, etc. The categories of the noun include number, gender, case and countability.5. Phrase: a single element of structure containing more than one word, and lacking the subject-predicate structure typical of clause.6. Clause: a group of words with its own subject and predicate, if it is included in a larger sentence.7. Sentence: It is the minimum part of language that expresses a complete thought.VI. Semantics1. Conceptualism or mentalism (概念主义):Following F. De Saussure(索学尔)'s "sign" theory, the linguistic sign is said to consist of a signifier (所指)and signified(被指), i.e., a sound image and a concept, liked by a psychological(心理的)"associative" bond.(相关了解)2. Mechanism(机械主义):Some linguists, Bloomfield,(布鲁费尔德)for example, turned to science to counter(反)-act the precious theories and this leads to what call the mechanistic approach(方法). The nature of this theory has nothing to do with the scientific study of mental phenomena.(智力现象)3. Contextualism (语境主义):It is based on the presumption(假定)that one can derive meaning from or reduce it to observable context.4. Behaviorism (行为主义):Behaviourists attempt to define (定义)the meaning of a language form as "the situation(情景)in which the speaker utters(说话)it and the response(反应)it calls forth in the hearer."5. functionalism (功能主义):functionalists as represented (代表)by the Prague school(布拉格学派)linguists and neo-Firthian (新弗斯)linguists, approach the problem from an entirely new orientation(方法). They argue(争辩)that meaning could only be interpreted (解释)from its use or function in social life.6. Sense relationships: While reference deals with the relationship between the linguistic elements, words, sentences, etc.,and the non-linguistic world of experience, sense relates to the complex system of relationships that hold between the linguistic elements themselves. They include synonymy(同义词),antonymy(反义词),hyponymy(下层次)Polysemy(一词多义)and Homonymy (同音异义词)7. Semantic analysis: It includes 1) componential(成分)analysis which defines the meaning of a lexical element in terms of semantic components.(意义成分)2) predication (表述)analysis in which the meaning of a sentence is not merely the sum of the meanings of the words which compose it. 3) relational components in which the semantic analysis of some words presents a complicated picture, because they show relations between two and perhaps more terms.VII. Language variation (语言变化)1. Lexical change(词汇的变化):changes in lexis.2. Invention: (新造词)new entities.3. Compounding合成词)New words are sometimes constructed by combining two old words.4. Blending: (混合词):It is a relatively complex form of compounding, in which two roots are blended by joining the initial part of the first root and the final part of the second root, or by joining the initial parts of the two roots.5. Abbreviation or clipping缩写)A new word is created by cutting the final part or cutting the initial part.6. acronym取首字母的缩写词)It is made up from the first letters of the name of an organization, which has a heavily modified (修饰)headword.7. metanalysis再分化)It refers to a process through which a division is made where there were note before.8. Back-formation逆构词)It refers to an abnormal(非正常)type of word-formationwhere a shorter word is derived by deleting(去掉)an imagined affix from a longer form already present in the language.9. Analogical creation:(类比造词)It can account for(说明)the co-existence of two forms, regular and irregular, in the conjugation(结合)of some English verbs.10. Borrowing(借用):English in its development has managed to widen her vocabulary by borrowing words from other languages.11. Phonological change(音变):It is related to language variation in the phonological system of language. It includes loss,(省音)addition,(加音)assimilation,(同化)dissimilation.(异化)12. Grammatical change: Changes in both morphology(词法)and syntax(句法)are listed under this heading.13. Semantic change:(语义变化)It includes broadening,(语义扩大)narrowing,(语义缩小)meaning shift,(意义转化)class shift(词性转换)and folk etymology.(词源变化)14. Orthographic change :(正字法)Changes can also be found at the graphetic level.[文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,另外祝您生活愉快,工作顺利,万事如意!]。

二、语言学的分类根据研究对象的不同,语言学可以分为比较语言学、历史语言学、发音学、形态学、句法学、语义学、语用学等多个分支学科。

比较语言学主要比较不同语言之间的相似性和差异性,历史语言学则研究语言的演变和变化规律。

三、语言学的发展历程语言学作为一门学科具有悠久的历史。

早在古代,人们对语言的产生和结构就有了简单的了解,但正式的语言学研究始于18世纪的欧洲,当时的人们开始对语音、语法和词汇等进行系统的研究。

到了19世纪,语言学发展迅猛,出现了历史语言学、比较语言学等分支学科。

20世纪,随着语言学方法的不断发展,语义学、语用学等学科逐渐兴起,丰富了语言学的研究内容。

四、重要派别在语言学发展过程中,涌现出了多个重要的研究派别和学派。

例如,结构主义语言学强调语言结构的分析和规律的发现,以及对语言学理论的系统建设;生成语法学关注语言的生成规律和生成过程,提出了许多重要的理论和模型;功能语言学则强调语言的功能和使用效果,注重语言与社会、文化、认知的关系。

五、语言学的应用语言学的研究成果在实际生活中有着广泛的应用价值。

首先,在语言教学领域,语言学的理论和方法为语言教学提供了科学依据,促进了语言教学的有效实施。

其次,在翻译和口译领域,语言学的知识可以帮助翻译人员准确理解和转换语言的含义,提高翻译质量。

此外,语言学还在语音识别、自然语言处理、人机交互等领域有广泛的应用。

第一章语言和语言学Language(语言): a system of arbitrary(随意的) vocal symbols used for human communication. This definition has captured the following features of language.1) Language is a system2) Language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic(内在的) connection between a linguistic symbol and what the symbol stands for. This nature of language is well illustrated by a famous quotation from Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet:A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.同样是书,为什么汉语用“Shu”,英语用“book”,意大利语用“libro”。

这是没有任何理由的,是随意选择的结果。

3) Language is vocal because the primary medium for all languages is sound. Writing systems came into being much later than the spoken forms and that they only attempt to capture sounds and meanings on paper. The fact that children acquire spoken language before they can read or write also indicates that language is primarily vocal.4) The term “human” is meant to specify that language is human specific. It is different from bird songs and bee dances.Linguistics(语言学): Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.The core of linguistics(语言学研究的核心): Phonetics(语音学), Phonology(音位学), Morphology(形态学), Syntax(句法学), Semantics(语义学), Pragmatics(语用学)The beginning of modern linguistics(现代语言学的开端): marked by the publication of F. de Saussure’s book Course in General Linguistics in the early 20th century.Prescriptive(规定性研究) vs. Descriptive(描写性研究): If the linguistic study aims to lay down rules for “correct and standard” behavior in using language, it is said to be prescriptive; if a linguistic study aims to describe and analyze the language people actually use, it is said to be descriptive.规定性的语言学研究着重观察、总结语言中的“标准”,认为语言中存在着一种地位最高的语言形态,如标准语法,标准语音,其目的通常是为了规定人们说话及写作等的标准。
