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. (e.g: become)The role of context( 语境的作用)1.Elimination of ambiguity( 消除歧义)1）Ambiguity due to polysemy or homonymy.2）Grammatical structure can also lead to ambiguity怎么消除歧义？——①extend the original sentence ②alter the context a little 2.Indication of referents( 限定所指)怎么限制所指？——①with clear context ②with ad equate verbal context3.Provision of clues for inferring word-meaning ( 提供线索以猜测词义)1)definition2)explanation3)example4)synonymy5)antonymy6)hyponymy （上下义关系）7)relevant details8)word structureChapter 9 English Idioms 英语习语Idioms （习语的界说） : are expressions that are not readily understandable from theirliteral meaning of individual elements. 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. Their meanings are not often recognizable in the meaning of the whole idiom.The semantic unity of idioms is also reflected in the illogical relationship between the literalmeaning of each of the idiom.2.Structural stability( 结构的稳定性):the structure of an idiom is to a large extentun changeable.1) the constituents of idioms cannot be replaced2) the word order cannot be inverted or changed3) the constituents of idioms cannot be deleted or added to, not even an article.4) many idioms are grammatically unchangeableThe fixity of idiom depends on the idiomaticity. 习语性表达习气Classification of Idioms （英语习语的分类）1. idioms nominal in nature 名词性习语(white elephant 累赘物)2 .idioms adjectival in nature 描述词性习语（as poor as a church mouse ）3 .idioms verbal in nature 动词性习语（look into ）4 .idioms adverbial in nature 副词性习语（tooth and nail 拼命）5 .sentence idioms 句式习语（never do things by halves ）Use of idioms （习语的运用）1.Stylistic features （文体颜色）：1） colloquialisms （俗话）2）slang （俚语）3）literary expressions （书面表达）The same idiom may show stylistic differences when it is assigned （指使） different meanings.2.Rhetorical features( 修辞色彩)1) phonetic manipulation （语音处理）：（1）alliteration 头韵法（2）rhyme 尾韵法2）lexical manipulation （词法处理）（1）reiteration （duplication of synonyms ）同义词并举[scream and shout] （2）repetition 重复[out and out]（3）juxtaposition (of antonyms) 反义词并置[here and there]3.figures of speech （修辞格）（1）simile 明喻（2）metaphor 暗喻（3）metonymy 换喻/ 以名词代动作：live by one?s pen（4）synecdoche 提喻/以部分代整体：earn one?s bread（5）Personification 拟人法（6）Euphemism 委婉语：kick the bucket(die)（7）hyperbole 夸大： a world of troubleVariations of idioms( 习语的变异形式) ：1.addition 添加2.deletion 删去3.replacement 替换4.position-shifting 方位搬运5.dismembering 分化Chapter 10 English Dictionaries 英语字典Dictionary : presents in alphabetical order the words of English, with information as totheir spelling ,pronunciation, meaning, usage , rules and grammar, and in some, theiretymology （语源）.Types of dictionaries( 词典的种类):1.Monolingual & bilingual dictionaries （单语词典和双语词典）：最早的词典都是双语的(1).Monolingual dictionary: is written in one language (LDCE, CCELD). The headword orentries are defined and illustrated in the same language.(2).Bilingual dictionary: involve two languages (A New English-Chinese D, AChinese-English D)2.Linguistic and Encyclopedic dictionaries （语文词典与百科词典）（1）Linguistic dictionary: aim at defining words and explaining their usages in thelanguage (spelling, pronunciation, meaning, grammatical, function, usage and etymologyetc.) 可以是单语或是双语的（2）Encyclopedic dictionary:1）encyclopedia ( 百科全书):is not concerned with the language per se （本身）but providesencyclopedic information.

Chapter10 English Idioms⏹10.1 Introductory Remarks⏹10.2 Sources of English Idioms⏹10.3 Classification of Idioms⏹10.4 Syntactic, structural and stylistic analysis of idioms10.1 Introductory Remarks♦Idiom: is a combination of two or more words which are usually structurally fixed and semantically opaque, and function as a single unit of meaning.♦English idiom: is a group of words with a special meaning different from the meanings of its constituent words.eg. a feather in sb.’s cap –an honour ,success ,of which one can be prouddraw a blank–to fail to discover or find out about sth. after searching hard and asking many questions .*Idioms are usually semantically opaque, i.e. metaphorical rather than literal.An idiom functions as a unit of meaning.♦Features: a. semantic opaqueness; b. structural invariability.♦English idioms form an essential part of the general vocabulary.Idioms reflect the environment, life, history and culture of the native speakers, and are closely associated with their innermost spirit and feeling.10.2 Sources of English IdiomsMany idiomatic expressions come from:1)Everyday life of the English people;eg. to keep one’s shirt on要有耐心; 别紧张; 指不要紧张t o give sb. the cold shoulder冷落某人2)Agricultural life;eg. to go to seed花谢结子; 走下坡路; 花谢结籽to lead sb. up the garden path迷惑某人,使某人产生错觉,花言巧语3)Nautical and military life;eg. be in the same boat with同舟共济to be in deep waters陷入困境4)Business life;eg. to come under the hammer将要落锤to talk shop三句不离本行5)Student life;eg. to speak by the book引经据典to turn over a new leaf重新开始(改过自新,过新生活)6)Food and cooking;eg. to keep the pot boiling仅足糊口;苟延残喘to be in the soup陷入困境7)Sports and cad-playing;eg. to keep the ball rolling不使中断to reach first base取得初步成就8)The Bible;eg. a thorn in the flesh肉中刺,眼中钉,烦恼的根源to turn the other cheek忍气吞声t he apple of one’s eyes掌上明珠9)Shakespeare’s plays;eg. to flutter the dovecotes扰乱鸽棚to give the Devil his due勿掩恶人善，平心而论10)fables, myths or legends.eg. sour grapes（指某人因得不到某物而称该事物不好）酸葡萄the lion’s share（最大份额或最大的一份）狮子的份额10.3 Classification of IdiomsThere are several criteria of classification of idioms. We classify them by structural criterion.A.Phrase idioms 短语成语According to the central word , they may subdivided into:1.Verb phrase idiom*a)All common English verbs, most of which are of native Anglo-Saxon origin, can combine with adverbs and prepositions to form phrasal verbs.b)Most of the verb phrase idioms are often nearly synonymous with loan words of Roman origin.c)Verb phrase idioms can form noun compounds.d)Phrasal verbs usually more lively and expressive than single verbs.eg. fall flat大失所望; 残败bite the hand that feeds one以怨报德2. Noun phrase idiomThe commonest functions of noun phrase idioms:a)As the direct object of a clause;b)As the complement of a clause;c)As the object of a preposition.eg. a baker’s dozen 十三个Jack of all trades 万事通; 万金油3. Adjective phrase idiomThe commonest function of adjective phrase idioms is as complement of a clause.eg. high and mighty盛气凌人;趾高气扬wide of the mark毫不沾边4. Prepositional phrase idiomFunctions of prepositional phrase idioms are:a)As an adjunct modifying a verb; 附属修饰语b)As a complement;补语c)As a complement or adjunct;d)As a disjunct; 分离判断语，附加语e)As a connecting phrase.B.Clause idioms 无主语从句成语Most of these idioms are terse, colloquial, vivid and changed with life.1.Verb + complement pattern2.Verb + direct object pattern3.Verb + direct object + complement pattern4.Verb + indirect object + direct object pattern5.Verb + direct object + adjunct patternC.Sentence idioms句子成语1.Proverbs;2.Typical conversational expressionseg. Upon my word! 我敢担保!Well begun is half done.半途而废Kill the goose that laid the golden egg. 毁掉财路; 杀鸡取卵10.4 Syntactic, structural and stylistic analysis of idiomsA. syntactic function 句法的功能1.The syntactic function of most phrase idioms usually corresponds with the central word or components.2.The syntactic function of some phrase idioms can vary.3.Prepositional phrase idioms have very diverse functions.4.noun + noun phrases have diverse functions.eg. He has a gift of the gab.(the ability to talk readily and easily )B. transformational restrictions 结构转换的限制性Transformation is a matter of structural change, and the change may be of various kinds.1.Some verb phrases may change word order.2.Some cannot change their word order.3.Some verb phrases may be passivized, but some can not.4.Most of the clause idioms cannot be put into the passive voice, while some of them can be used either way.5.The direct object usually does not undergo passive transformation; only the indirect object can be passivized.6.Some clause idioms may be made passive with a meaning quite different from what it had in the active form.C. Collocative restrictions 搭配限制1. Words collocate with idioms as the subjects, objects, predicates etc. of different types of phrase and clause idioms.2. Some idioms have a wide range of collocates while some have a limited choice.3. For some idioms, one has to consider which collocates will serve as adjuncts.D. Structural variability结构变化Idioms are structurally fixed, and as a rule one are not supposed to change any element in an idiomatic expression. But it is not unusual for writers to give a new twist to an old saying by making slight changes for rhetorical effect.Some ways of alteration in idioms:1. The replacement of one element by another without affecting the meaning of the whole.2. Insertion of one or more words into an idiomatic expression without changing its basic meaning.3. Deletion of one or more words, especially articles.E. Stylistic features文体特征1. Most idioms are stylistically neutral;2. But some of them belong to informal spoken English;3. Some idiom phrases are slangy.。

The absence of a wide-ranging vocabulary of loanwords force people to rely more on word-formation processes based on native elements. The latter period of Old English was characterized by the introduction of a number of ‗loan translations‘. Grammatical relationships in Old English were expressed by the use of inflectional endings. And Old English is believed to contain about 24,000 different lexical items.In Middle English period, English grammar and vocabulary changed greatly. In grammar, English changed from a highly inflected language to an analytic language. In vocabulary English was characterized by the loss of a large part of the Old English word-stock and the addition of thousands of words from French and Latin.In Early Modern English period, English vocabulary grew very fast through extensive borrowing and expansion of word-formation patterns. And there was a great many semantic changes, as old words acquire new meanings.Modern English is characterized with three main features of unprecedented growth of scientific vocabulary, the assertion of American English as a dominant variety of the language, and the emergence of other varieties known as ‗New Englishes‘.2.appeareth in (a) becomes appeared in (b), and dreame becomes dream.

The word board first denoting "a table" has later acquired two very divergent senses. Each of them has given rise to another sense from which the original notion has disappeared. The process can be shown as follows:Homonymy4. 1) Make both ends meat is a parody of make both ends meet which means “have enoughmoney for one’s needs”. Here the butcher cleverly uses the pair of homonyms meat and meet to make a pun. It makes a proper answer to the lady’s question. (1) Butchers cannot make both ends meat (make whole sausages with all meat) because they cannot make both ends meet (If they made sausages with all meat, which is more costly, they would not earn enough money to survive.) (2) Don’t complain. All the butchers do the same. I am not the only one who is making sausages with bread.2) Swallow is a bird which is seen in summer. But by one swallow we see, we cannotdeduce that it is already summer time. Swallow can also mean a mouthful of wine. On a cold winter day, if one has a swallow of wine, one may feel warm.3) Arms has two meanings: weapons; the human upper limbs. Since “a cannon ball took offhis legs”, the soldier was not able to fight on, so he “laid down his arms”, which means “surrender”. It can also mean he laid down his upper limbs.Synonymy3. avaricious: greedy courteously: politelyemancipate: set free customary: usualwidth: breadth adversary: opponent gullible: deceived remainder: residueinnocent: sinless obstacle: obstruction vexation: annoyance5. a. identifiable b. safetyc. motivatesd. delicatee. surroundingsf. artificialg. prestige h. perspirei. accomplishment j. silentk. impressive l. evaporate6. run move spinturn whirl roll7. a. stead b. gee-gee c. riped. maturee. effectivef. efficientg. fatigued, children h. tired, kids i. declinedj. refused k. rancid l. addledm.

In Sentence 1), got, furniture, recently are superordinates because they are general and convey a very vague idea whereas in Sentence 2), the three words are replaced respectively by bought, cupboard, three days ago, which are subordinates, conveying a definite and clear idea. So Sentence 2) is better than Sentence 1.In Sentence 3), it is said, magnificent building, destroyed, yesterday are superordinate terms, which are comparatively much more general than the news says, Royal Hotel, burnt down, last night respectively in 4), which can be described as subordinates. Since 4) is clearer than 3) in meaning, it is better.Semantic field3. Group 1 is synonymously semantic field and Group 2 is semantic filed. The difference lies: In 1 the words are synonyms, none of them covers the meaning of another, and they differ only in style and emotive values. In 2 the words are not synonyms, but each refers to a specific type of horse. Horse is a cover term or superordinate, and others are subordinates. These terms have no difference in style or affective meaning.【Chapter 7】4. 1) extension 2) extension3) narrowing 4) degradation5) elevation 6) narrowing7) extension 8) extension9) narrowing 10) narrowing11) elevation 12) degradation13) degradation 14) degradation5. a. associated transferb. abstract to concretec. concrete to abstractd. abstract to concretee. abstract to concretef. abstract to concreteg. associated transferh. associated transferi. synesthesia (transfer of sensation from sight to hearing)j. synesthesia (transfer of sensation)6. a. objective b. subjective, objectivec. objectived. subjectivee. subjectivef. subjectiveg. subjective h. subjective, objective7. a. die b. graveyardc. bedlam疯人院d. old peoplee. strikef.

The main types of vocabulary include:1. Basic Vocabulary: Basic vocabulary consists of the most common words that are essential for everyday communication. These words are commonly used in spoken and written language and are crucial for building a foundation in the language.2. Academic Vocabulary: Academic vocabulary refers to the words and phrases that are commonly used in academic settings, such as in textbooks, research papers, and lectures. These words are often more complex and specific to certain subjects or disciplines.3. Technical Vocabulary: Technical vocabulary includes specialized words and terminology used in particular fields, such as science, medicine, technology, and engineering. These words are often challenging for non-experts to understand and require specific knowledge of the subject area.4. Colloquial Vocabulary: Colloquial vocabulary consists of informal words and expressions that are commonly used in everyday conversation and informal writing. These words may vary from region to region and often reflect the local dialect and cultural influences.5. Idiomatic Vocabulary: Idiomatic vocabulary refers to expressions and phrases that have a figurative meaning different from the literal interpretation of the words. These expressions are commonly used in spoken language and may pose challenges for non-native speakers.6. Loanwords: Loanwords are words that are adopted from other languages and incorporated into English. These words often retain their original form and meaning, adding diversity to the English vocabulary.Acquisition of VocabularyThe process of acquiring vocabulary involves various strategies and techniques to enhance one's word knowledge and usage. The following are some essential methods for vocabulary acquisition:1. Reading: Reading is one of the most effective ways to acquire new vocabulary. Exposure to a wide range of written materials, including books, articles, and newspapers, allows learners to encounter new words in context and understand their usage.2.

Techniques such as creating associations, visualization, and using mnemonic devices can assist in memorizing and recalling words more easily.4. Vocabulary Apps and Tools: Technology-based resources, such as vocabulary apps and online tools, provide interactive and engaging platforms for learners to expand their word knowledge. These resources often offer word games, quizzes, and flashcards to reinforce vocabulary acquisition.5. Word Analysis: Breaking down words into their component parts, such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots, helps learners understand the structure and meaning of new vocabulary. This approach is especially useful for deciphering unfamiliar words and inferring their definitions.6. Vocabulary Expansion: Actively seeking out new words and making a conscious effort to expand one's vocabulary through exploration of various sources, such as dictionaries, thesauruses, and word lists, is essential for continuous language development.7. Vocabulary Practice: Regular practice and reinforcement of vocabulary through activities such as writing, speaking, and using the words in different contexts contribute to the retention and application of new vocabulary.Usage of VocabularyEffective use of vocabulary is crucial for clear and impactful communication in both spoken and written forms. The following are some key aspects of vocabulary usage:1. Word Choice: Selecting the appropriate words for expressing ideas and conveying meaning is essential for effective communication. Understanding the nuances of words and their connotations enables speakers and writers to choose the most suitable vocabulary fora given context.2. Register and Style: Adapting vocabulary to the appropriate register and style is important for communicating with different audiences and in diverse settings. Adjusting language choices based on formality, audience, and purpose enhances the clarity and effectiveness of communication.3. Collocation and Phraseology: Understanding the collocation of words and phrases, as well as familiarizing oneself with common idiomatic expressions, contributes to natural and fluent language use. Recognizing and using collocations and idiomatic language enhances the authenticity and fluency of communication.4. Vocabulary Expansion: Continuously expanding one's vocabulary through exposure to diverse texts, contexts, and sources enriches language proficiency and enables the use of more varied and precise vocabulary.5. Vocabulary Development: Engaging in activities that promote vocabulary development, such as reading, writing, and participating in discussions, contributes to the ongoing enhancement of language skills and the refinement of vocabulary use.ConclusionEnglish vocabulary is a multifaceted aspect of language learning that encompasses various types, acquisition methods, and usage strategies.
