新编简明英语语言学教程第二版复习笔记

新编简明英语语言学教程第二版复习笔记引言《新编简明英语语言学教程》(第二版)是一本全面介绍英语语言学的教材。

本文是根据该教材的内容整理出的复习笔记,旨在帮助读者复习和巩固所学知识。

本文将从语音学、形态学、句法学、语用学等方面进行总结和回顾。

一、语音学语音学是语言学的一个重要分支,研究语音的产生、传播和接收。

在英语语音学中,我们学习了音素、音节、音变等概念,以及发音方式和音系结构。

其中,音素是语音的最小单位,音节是由音素组成的单位,音变是音素在特定环境中发生的变化。

在语音学的学习中,我们还学习了国际音标的使用和表示方法。

国际音标是一种标记语音的符号系统,其中每个音素都有一个唯一的符号来表示。

通过学习国际音标,我们可以准确地记录和描述语音。

二、形态学形态学是研究词素和词法规则的学科。

在形态学中,我们学习了词的构成规则和形态变化。

英语中的词缀是词的构成要素,可以分为前缀、后缀和中缀。

词缀的加入或删除可以改变词的意思、词性或词态。

此外,我们还学习了各种词的形态变化规则,如名词的复数形式、动词的时态和语气等。

了解形态学规则对于理解和运用英语词汇是非常重要的。

三、句法学句法学是研究句子结构和句子成分之间关系的学科。

在句法学的学习中,我们学习了句子的基本成分,如主语、谓语、宾语和定语等。

我们还学习了句子的结构、成分之间的语法关系,以及句法规则的应用。

在英语句法学中,我们学习了句子的短语结构分析和句子树的表示方法。

通过短语结构分析和句子树,我们可以准确地分析句子的结构和成分关系。

四、语用学语用学研究的是语言的使用和交际。

在语用学的学习中,我们学习了语言的交际功能、意义和上下文的影响。

我们还学习了言语行为和语用规则,如请求、邀请、命令等。

了解语用学对于理解和运用英语是非常重要的。

结论《新编简明英语语言学教程》(第二版)是一本重要的英语语言学教材,其内容涵盖了语音学、形态学、句法学和语用学等方面的知识。

At the lower level there is a structure of sounds,which are meaningless by themselves.But the sounds can grouped or regrouped together into a larger numbers of units of meaning such as morpheme or words,which are found at the higher level of system(carp & park).Then the higher level can be arranged and rearranged into an infinite numbers of sentences;④DisplacementLanguage can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speakers;⑤cultural transmissionWhile human capacity for language has a genetic basis,the details of any language systems are not genetically transmitted, but instead have to be taught andlearned.(language is cultural transmitted[language not mutually intelligible] while animal call system is genetically transmitted)1.2.3 Functions of languageThree main functions of language which distinct from each other but actually overlapping to some degree:①descriptive functionThe primary function of language;The function to convey factual information, which can be asserted or denial, and in some case even verified.e.g: The Sichuan earthquake is the most serious one China has ever suffered.②expressive functionSupply information about the user’sfeeling,preference,prejudices and value,etc.I will never come to this coffee shop again.③social functionServes to establish and maintain social relations between people.

1.1 Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.It is a scientific study because it (a) is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data. It (b) discovers the nature and rules of the underlying language system. It (c) collects language facts that display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them.The study of language as a whole if often called general linguistics.phonetics(语音学): the study of soundsphonology(音位学): how sounds are put together and used to convey meaningmorphology(形态学): how morphemes(词素) are arranged and combined to form wordssyntax(句法学): the study of rules that govern the combination of words to form grammaticallypermissible sentencessemantics(语义学): the study of meaningpragmatics(语用学): the study of meaning in the context of language useinterdisciplinary branches: sociolinguistics(社会语言学), psycholinguistics(心理语言学), applied linguistics(应用语言学)Important distinctions in linguisticsprescriptive(规定性old linguistics) vs. descriptive(描述性modern linguistics)synchronic(共时性) vs. diachronic(历时性): most linguistic studies are of synchronic descriptions,which is prior in modern linguisticsspeech and writing: speech is prior to writing in modern linguisticslangue(语言系统abstract linguistic system) and parole(话语/言语realization of langue in actualuse): Swiss linguist F. de Saussure----forefather of modern linguisticscompetence(语言能力ideal user’s knowledge of rules of his language) and performance(语言运用actual realization of this knowledge): American linguist N. Chomskytraditional grammar and modern linguistics: Saussure’s book “Course in General Linguistics”marked the beginning of modern linguistics1.2 Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.LAD: Language Acquisition Device -----ChomskyArbitrariness (任意性): Different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages.Productivity/creativity (能产性): Construction and interpretation of new signals are possible, so that large number of sentences can be produced.Duality (双层性): Two levels enable people to talk about anything within their knowledge. lower level(sounds)---higher level(words)Displacement(移位性): enable people to talk about a wide range of things, free from barriers caused by separation in time or place.Cultural transmission(文化传承): We are born with the ability to acquire language, the details of language system have to be taught and learned.2.1 Speech and writing are the two media for communication, of which speech ismore basic/primary.The sounds which are produced by humans through their speech organs and meaningful in communication constitute the phonic medium of language. The individual sounds within this range are the speech sounds.2.2 Phonetics is the study of the phonic medium of language, which concerned with all the sounds thatoccur in the world’s languages.articulatory phonetics, auditory phonetics, acoustic phoneticsSpeech organs:pharyngeal; cavity---throat; oral cavity---mouth; nasal cavity---noseIPA: 国际音标diacritics: 变音符broad transcription: 宽式标音(used in dictionaries and teaching textbooks)narrow transcription: 严式标音(used by phoneticians in their study)vowels(the air stream meets with no obstruction) and consonants(obstructed)stops(塞音), fricatives(擦音), affricates(塞擦音), liquids(流音), nasals, glides, bilabial(双唇音), laviodental(唇齿音), dental(齿音), alveolar(齿龈音), palatal(腭音), velar(软腭音), glottal(喉音)close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels, open vowels(openness)unrounded vowels, rounded vowels(shape of the lips)long/tense vowels----short/lax vowelsmonophthongs(单元音), diphthongs(双元音) (single or combined)2.3 Phonology and phonetics differ in their approach and focus.phonology: how speech sounds form patterns and are used to convey meaningconcerned with sound system of a particular languagephonetics: of a general nature, interested in all the speech soundsA phone(音素) is a phonetic unit or segment.(speech sounds are all phones)a phone does not necessarily distinguish meaningA phoneme(音位) is a phonological unit.(an abstract unit of distinctive value)not particular sound, but is realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones(音位变体) of that phoneme.Rules in phonology:Sequential rules(序列规则)---rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language.Assimilation rule(同化规则)---assimilates one sound to another by “copying”a feature of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones similar. for ease of articulation(清晰发音)e.g. green, screamDeletion rule(省略规则)---e.g. desi g nationSuprasegmental features(超切分特征): the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments.stress(重音)---word stress and sentence stressThe location of stress in English distinguishes meaning.E.g. ‘import (n.) im’port (v.) // blackbird vs. black birdtone(语调)---pitch variation(音高变体) distinguish meaning E.g. 汉语四声Intonation(音调)---English tones: falling tone, rising tone, fall-rise tone, rise-fall toneE.g. That’s not the book he wants.3.1 Morphology: study of the internal structure of words, and rules by which words are formed3.2 open class words(开放类): new words can be added—nouns, verbs, adjective and adverbsclosed class words(封闭类): “grammatical” or “functional” words3.3 Word is the smallest free form found in language.Morphemes are the minimal units of meaning.Free and bound morphemes(自由词素can be a word by itself粘着词素must be attached to another one---affix)3.4 V----teachN Af----er3.5 Derivational and inflectional morphemes(派生词素和屈折词素)Free morphemes Bound morphemesRoot Root Affixdog, cat -ceive Prefix Suffixgrammar -vert Derivational Derivational Inflectional …-mit un-, dis- -ment -s, -ing, -‘s, -er3.6 Morphological rules determine how morphemes combine to form words. E.g. un-accept-able3.8 Another way to form words is compounding. E.g. bittersweetWord Formations: compounding, blending, backformation, shortening4.1 Syntax studies the rules that govern the formation of sentences.4.2 Category is a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same or similar functions in a particular languagesuch as a sentence, a noun phrase or a verb.Syntactic categories—word-level categories:major lexical categories (often assumed as the heads around which phrases are built)---Noun (N) Verb (V) Adjective (A) Preposition (P)minor lexical categories---Determiner (Det) Degree words (Deg) Qualifier (Qual) Auxiliary (Aux) Conjunction (Con)Three criteria(条件) determining a word’s category: meaning, inflection (变形) and distribution (分布)A word’s category can be determined only by all three criteria.Phrase category is determined by the word category around which the phrase is built.noun phrase (NP), verb phrase (VP), adjective phrase (AP), prepositional phrase (PP)phrases that are formed of more than one word usually contain : head, specifier, complement4.3 Phrase structure rule---special type of grammatical mechanism regulating the arrangement of elementsthat make up a phraseNP→(Det) N (PP) an NP consists of a determiner, an N head, and a PP complementVP→(Qual) V (NP) a VP consists of a qualifier, a V head, and an NP complementAP→(Deg) A (PP) ……PP→(Deg) P (NP) ……XP rule: XP→(specifier) X (complement)Coordination rule: coordinate structures (consist a conjunction “and”/”or”)X→X *Con XEither an X or an XP can be coordinated; one or more categories can occur to the left of the Con.4.4 Phrase elements: specifiers, complements, modifiersspecifiers determiner qualifier degree wordheads N V A / Pcomplementizers (Cs)—words introducing the sentence complementcomplement clause—sentence introduced by the complementizer complement phrase(CP)matrix clause—construction in which the CP embeded嵌入As, Ns, Ps can all take CP. Adjectives: (heads) afraid, certain, awareNouns: (heads) fact, claim, belief Prepositions: (heads)over, aboutmodifiers: all lexical categories can have modifiers.AP(+Ns): precedes the head e.g. a very careful girl PP(+Vs): follows the head e.g. open with care AdvP(+Vs): precedes or follows the head e.g. read carefully/carefully readThe Expanded XP rule: XP→(Spec) (Mod) X (Complement*) (Mod)4.5 The S rule: S→NP VP ------ Inflp (=S)→NP Infl VP ------Infl can be taken by an abstract category encodedin a verb indicating tense or an auxiliary(助动词)4.6 Transformation a special rule that can move an element from one position to anotherauxiliary movement(助动词移位) inversion: move Infl to the left of the subject NP.within larger CPs (embedded or not): inversion: move Infl to C.

There’s verbs, adjectives, etc. and also abstract nouns.The conceptualist view: Words and things are related through the mediation of concepts in the mind.Contextualism: The meaning of a word is its use in the language.Behaviorism: The meaning of a language form is the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer.5.3 Sense and reference are two terms often encountered in the study of word meaning, which are relatedbut different aspects of meaning.Sense: e.g. “dog”---a domesticated mammal... refer to any animal that meets the features described Reference: “dog”---A said to B:” The dog’s barking.”refer to a certain dog known to both A&BMajor sense relations:synonymy---words that are close in meaningdialectal syn.(autumn in BE & fall in AE), stylistic syn.(daddy & father),syn. that differ in emotive or evaluative meaning(same meaning, different emotions)collocational syn.(different usage), semantically different syn.(differ slightly in meaning) polysemy(one word may have more than one meaning)homonymy (homophones--- two words same in sound, homographs---same in spelling, complete homonyms---same in both sound and spelling)hyponymy(relation between a general word—superordinate, and a specific word--hyponyms)antonymy(words that are opposite in meaning)gradable ant.---e.g. hot vs. cold complementary ant.---e.g. male vs. femalerelational ant.---e.g. husband vs. wife5.4 Sense relations between sentences:X is synonymous with Y. E.g. He was a bachelor all his life. / He never married….X, True—Y, True; X, False---Y FalseX is inconsistent with Y. E.g. John’s married. / John’s a bachelor. X, T—Y, F; X, F—Y, TX entails Y. E.g. He’s been to France. / He’s been to Europe. X, T—Y, T; X, F—Y, may be T or FX presupposes Y. E.g. John’s bike needs repairing. / John has a bike. X, T—Y, T; X, F—Y, TX is a contradiction. E.g. My unmarried sister married a bachelor. X is always false.X is semantically anomalous. (absurd in the sense)5.5 componential analysis----lexical meaning E.g. man---+HUMAN, +ADULT, +ANIMATE, +MALEpredication(谓项) analysis---sentence meaning E.g. The kids like apples. ---KID, APPLE (LIKE) Tom smokes. ---TOM (SMOKE) It is hot. --- (BE HOT)6.1 Pragmatics studies how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication(meaning in a certain context).Sentence meaning vs. utterance meaningUtterance is the realization of the abstract meaning of a sentence in a real situation of communication or context, it is context-dependent.6.2 Speech act theory: aim to answer “What do we do when using language?”----John Austin in late 1950slocutionary act(言内行为—字面意思), illocutionary act(言外行为—目的), perlocutionary act(言后行为—结果) John Searle: classification of illocutionary acts---five general types of things we do with languageSpecific acts that fall into each type share the same illocutionary point1. representatives/assertive: stating or describing, saying what the speaker believes to be trueE.g. The earth is a globe.2. directives: trying to get the hearer to do something E.g. Close the door. / Will you close the door?3. commissives: committing the speaker himself to some future course of actionE.g. I promise to come. / I will bring you the book tomorrow without fail.4. expressive: expressing feelings or attitude towards an existing stateE.g. It’s kind of you to ... / I’m sorry for the mess I’ve made.5. declarations: bringing about immediate changes by saying somethingE.g. I now declare the meeting open. / I appoint you chairman of the committee.Indirect speech act--primary speech act (goal of communication) + secondary speech act (means by which he achieves the goal) ----Searle6.3 Conventional implicature(暗示) & nonconventional implicature-----GriceCon. imp. E.g. He is rich but he is not greedy. imp. Rich people are usually greedy.The participants must first of all be willing to cooperate to converse with each other. The general principle is called the Cooperative Principle. (CP)Four maxims(准则) under CP: The maxim of quantity (informative but no more than required), quality (don’t say what you believe to be false or what you lack adequate evidence), relation (be relevant), manner (avoid obscurity or ambiguity & be brief and orderly)These maxims can be violated. (when misleading, lying, etc.)Chap. 7 Language change (diachronic 历时的) Historical linguisticsphonological changes: vowels---the most dramatic changemorphological and syntactic change:morphological: Addition of affixes (Fusion 融合word word---base +suffix /prefix +base)Loss of affixes---some are via sound changessyntactic: change of word order Old English: subject-object-verbchange in negation rule Old English: I love thee not.lexical and semantic change:lexical: Addition of new words---takes place obviously and quicklyCoinage (coin for new things and objects), Clipped words (缩略构词),Blending (combine parts of other words, e.g. brunch),Acronyms (首字构词e.g. WTO),Back-formation (subtract affixes from old words, e.g. donate---from “donation”)Functional shift /Conversion (shift without adding affixes, e.g. to knee/cool; a reject)Borrowing (borrow from other languages, e.g. bonus from Latin, cycle from Greek…)Loss of words---takes place gradually over several generationsSome words are short-lived because of the discontinuation of the object they name.semantic: three processes of semantic change---semantic broadening: e.g. holiday = holy day in the past, but any rest day todaysemantic narrowing: e.g. girl = young person of either sex in the pastsemantic shift: e.g. nice = ignorant a thousand years agorecent trends: moving towards greater informality, influence of American English,influence of science and technology (space travel, computer and internet lang. etc.) causes of language change: development of science &tech., social & political changes and needs,the way children acquire language, grammar simplification, elaboration &complication, etc. No single causeChap. 8 Language and societySociolinguistics is the sub-field of linguistics that studies the relation between language and society, between the uses of language and the social structures in which the users of languagelive. (社会语言学) Halliday & HudsonLanguage is used to communicate meaning, and to establish and maintain social relationships.Social background determines the kind of language one uses, and language reflects one’s info.speech community---the social group that is singled out for any special studyVarious social groups exist within a speech community. A social group may distinguish itself fromthe rest of the community by the educational background, the occupation, the gender, the age ,of the ethnic affiliation of its members.speech variety(变体)---any distinguishable form of speech used by a speaker or a group of speakersthree types of speech variety of special interest: regional dialects, sociolects, registersTwo approaches to sociolinguistic studies: macro-sociolinguistics & micro-sociolinguisticsThe varieties of language are related to the users and the use to which the language is put.Dialectal varieties: regional dialect (linguistic variety used by people living in the same geographical region---geographical barrier), sociolect (characteristic of a particular socialclass---different social conditions), language and gender (female speech is less assertive andthus sounds more polite), language and age (old people are more conservative and like usingold words more), idiolect (personal dialect), ethnic dialect (social dialect of a languagecutting across regional differences e.g. Black English)Register: the type of language which is selected as appropriate to the type of situation linguistic repertoire---the totality of linguistic varieties possessed by an individualthree social variables that determine the register(the features appropriate to the situation): field of discourse (语场purpose and subject-matter of communication non-technical or technical, determines the vocabulary used and the phono. & gramm. features), tenor of discourse (语旨who the participants are and the relationship between them determines the formality and the level of technicality),mode of discourse(语式the means of communication)E.g. a lecture on biology in a technical collegeField: scientific (biological) Tenor: teacher—student (formal, polite) Mode: oral (lecturing) Degree of formality: intimate—casual—consultative—formal—frozenStandard dialects (employed by government, used by mass media, taught in edu. institutions, based on a selected variety of lang., usually local speech of political or commercial centers,for official purposes or any formal occasions)Pidgin (a variety that mixes or blends languages) and Creole (a pidgin becoming the primary lang.of a speech community of which the children acquire the pidgin as native lang.)Chap. 9 Language and culture are interdependent on each other and have evolved together.Culture is integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, & behavior. (material & spiritual cult.) Relationship between lang. &cult. : Language symbolizes cultural reality, plays a major role in perpetuating of a culture, is related to what the culture is and affects a culture’s way ofthinking. Language is to culture what part is to whole.discourse communities--- members of the social group use similar lang. to meet their needsdiscourse accents---unique uses of each group’s language, the ways and the style of their talking Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis (SWH): Language filters people’s perception and the way they categorize their experiences.Language reflects cultural preoccupations and constrains the way people think.Context is important in complementing the meanings encoded in the language.Any linguistic sign has a denotative (指示意义—内含), connotative (暗涵意义—外延), or iconic(图像意义) kind of meaning. All these types of meanings are bound with cultural encodings orassociations.some cultural differences in language use: greeting and terms of address, gratitude and compliments, color words, privacy and taboos(禁忌), rounding off numbers, words andcultural specific connotations, cultural-related idioms, proverbs and metaphors Culture contact--- acculturation(文化移入political conquests and expansions), assimilation (吸收immigration), amalgamation (合并ethnical mix / synthesis rather than the elimination orabsorption)Cultural overlap (文化重叠owe to similarities in natural environ. and human psychology)Cultural diffusion (文化扩展e.g. loan words gradually and unceasingly)cultural imperialism (文化帝国主义)---owe to linguistic imperialismspecial language policy protecting the purity of their languages---linguistic nationalism Chap. 10 Language acquisition---child’s acquisition of his mother tongueThree theories: the behaviorist (行为主义语言习得观), the innatist(语法天生…),the interactionist (互动主义…)Behaviorist: language is a kind of behavior, language learning is simply a matter of imitation and habit formation. Children imitate words selectively and according to their ownunderstanding of the sounds or patterns, which is based on what the children have alreadyknown instead of what is “available” in the environment. This theory fails to explain howthey acquire more complex grammatical structures of the languageInnatist: LAD was described as an imaginary “black box” existing somewhere in the human brain.It is said to contain principles that are universal to all human languages.Universal Grammar: innate knowledge of basic grammatical systemChildren ‘s acquisition of grammatical rules is guided by principles of an innate UG.Interactionist: language is a result of the complex interplay between the human characteristics of the child and the environment in which he grows.child directed speech (CDS)(slow rate, high pitch音高, rich intonation抑扬, shorter andsimpler sentence structure)The cognitive development relates to language acquisition mainly in two ways:First, as children’s conceptual development leads to their language development, theirlanguage development also helps in the formation and enhancement of the concept.Second, the cognitive factors determine how the child makes sense of the linguistic systemhimself instead of what meanings the child perceives (理解) and expresses.Two factors remarkably relevant to children’s language developmentLanguage environment is essential in providing input for language acquisition:Behaviorist: language environment plays a major roleInnatist: environment is a stimulus that triggers the pre-equipped LADInteractionist: call for the quality of the language samples available in the ling. environmentAge they start to learn the language:Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH): LAD works successfully only when it’s stimulated at the righttime—a specific and limited time period for language acquisition (Eric Lenneberg)Two versions of CPH: strong one—children must acquire their first language by pubertyweak one—language learning will be more difficult and incomplete after puberty ----consensus: there’s a critical period for first language acquisitionStages in child language development:Phonological development—children must pass one stage before proceeding to the nextVocabulary development—under-extension, over-extensionVocabulary development goes together with the child’s knowledge of the environment.Children may under-extend or overextend it when learning a new word.under-extension: e.g. child gets confused hearing the color of white used for paper when he first thought it as the word for snowover-extension: a child takes a property of an object and generalizes it. likely to occur later Grammatical developmentPragmatic developmentAtypical development (非典型发展)hearing impairment (听力损伤), mental retardation (智力缺陷), autism (孤独症), stuttering(口吃), aphasia (失语症), dyslexia (诵读困难), dysgraphia (书写困难)Chap. 11 Second language acquisition (SLA) is the systematic study of how one person acquires a second language subsequent to his native language (NL/L1).Whether the target language (TL) to be learnt is called a second language (SL/L2) or a foreignlanguage (FL) depends on its status as a second language or foreign language in the country.Contrastive Analysis (CA)--1960s :positive/negative transfer: the former facilitate target language learning, the latter interfereCA compares the forms and meanings across two languages to locate the mismatches or differences so as to predict the possible learning difficulty.It was soon found problematic: uninformative, inaccurateError Analysis (EA): independently describe the learners’ interlanguage (their version of the target language and the target language itself), and compare the two forms to locate mismatches.It gives less consideration to learner s’ native language than CA. reach heyday in 1970sTwo main sorts of errors: interlingual errors (语际错误result from cross-linguistic interferenceat different levels—phonological, lexical…), intralingual errors (语内错误result from faultyor partial learning of the TL, independent of the NL e.g. learning strategies-based error)Overgeneralization—the use of previously available strategies in new situationsCross-association—interference of two words similar in meaning, spelling and pronunciationEA was criticized for its neglect of learners’ role as active participants in learning. (mid-1970s)Interlanguage: Three important characteristics—systematicity (系统性), permeability (渗透性), fossilization (石化a process occurring from time to time in which incorrect linguistic features become apermanent part of the way a person speaks or writes a language. fossilized pronunciation leads to accent) Input Hypothesis---Krashen: two independent means or routes of second language learning: acquisition: subconscious process learning: conscious effortsLearners advance their language learning gradually by receiving “comprehensible input”. ”i+1”It received criticism later, for he mistook “input” as “intake”.Individual differences: language aptitude (天资), age of acquisition, personalitymotivation----instrumental motivation (for external goal), integrative motivation (for the wish toidentify with the target culture), resultative motivation (for external purposes), intrinsicmotivation (for pleasure),learning strategies (motivation plays an important role in use of learning strategies)----cognitive strategies (认知策略involved in analyzing, synthesizing(合成) and internalizing(内在化) what has been learned), metacognitive strategies (元认知策略the techniques inplanning, monitoring and evaluating one’s learning), affect/social strategies (deal with theways learners interact or communicate with other speakers, native or non-native)Chap. 12 Language and the brainneurolinguistics (神经语言学): study of language disorders and the relationship between the brain and language. lateralization (侧化)—cognitive functions controlled by either side of the brainThe brain is divided into two sections:the lower section—brain stem(脑干shared by all animals to keep the body alive by maintaining the essential functions)the higher section—cerebrum(大脑differs in different species, not essential for life)cerebellum—at the rear of the brain , beneath the cerebrum, behind the brainstemneuron神经元Neurons form the cortex(脑皮层the surface of the brain)The cortex has many wrinkles: a ridge (hills) called sulcus, a deep and prominent sulcus called fissure The cortex is the decision-making organ of the body and “storehouse” of “memory”, it makes human distinctive in the animal world—animals have no cortex.The cortex is separated by the longitudinal fissure into the left and right cerebral hemispheres, the。

Scientific means it is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data,conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure。

No Article before language in this definition means that linguistics studies language in general. Linguists’ task: basically study and understand the general principles upon which all languages are built。

I nterest of linguists is “what is said”2. The scopes of linguisticsGeneral linguistics--—-the study of language as a whole--—--the core of linguisticsPhonetics-—-—the study of sounds used in linguistic communication。

Phonology--——the study of how sounds are put together and used to convey meanings in communication.Morphology-———the study of the way in which the symbols are arranged and combined to form words。

新编简明英语语言学教程chapter2笔记

Chapter 2 Phonology2.1 The phonic medium of language (Lead in)Language is primarily vocal. The primary medium of human language is sound. Linguists are not interested in all sounds, but in speech sounds----sounds that convey meaning in human communication.Sounds which are meaningful in human communication constitute the phonic medium of language.Language is a “system of vocal symbols”. Speech sounds had existed long before writing was invented, and even today, in some parts of the world, there are still languages that have no writing system. Therefore, the study of speech sounds is a major part of linguistics.2.2 Phonetics2.2.1 What is phonetics?----A branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their description, classification and transcription, e.g. [p] bilabial, stop.Phonetics looks at speech sounds from three distinct but related points of view:(Speech production-----------------speech transmission---------------speech perception)⏹Articulatory phonetics(发音语音学)----from the speakers‟point of view, “how speakers produce speechsounds”⏹Auditory phonetics(听觉语音学)----from the hearers‟ point of view, “how sounds are perceived”⏹Acoustic phonetics(声学语音学)----from the physical way or means by which sounds are transmitted from oneto another.2.2.2 Organs of speechSpeech organs, also known as V ocal organs, are those parts of the human body involved in the production of speech. The diagram of speech organs:1. Lips 7. Tip of tongue2. Teeth 8. Blade of tongue3. Teeth ridge (alveolar) 9. Back of tongue4. Hard palate 10. V ocal cords5. Soft palate (velum) 11.Pharyngeal cavity6. Uvula 12. Nasal cavityThe important cavities:☆The pharyngeal cavity 咽腔---- the throatLarynx: at the top of the trachea, the front of which is the Adam‟s apple. This is the first place where sound modification might occur. The larynx contains the Vocal folds, also known as Vocal cords or Vocal bands. The vocal folds are a pair of structure that lies horizontally with their front ends joined together at the back of the Adam‟s apple. Their rear ends, however, remain separated and can move to various positions. The vocal folds are either (a) apart, (b) close together, (c) totally closed.Vibration of the vocal cords results in a quality of speech sounds called voicing, which is a feature of all vowels and some consonants in English.Voiceless: when the vocal cords are spread apart, the air from the lungs passes between them unimpeded.V oiced (V oicing): when the vocal cords are drawn together, the air from the lungs repeated pushes them apart as it passes through, creating a vibration effect.☆The oral cavity 口腔---- the mouthThe oral cavity provides the greatest source of modification of the air stream. ([k]/[g], [t]/[d], [θ]/[δ], [f]/[v], [p]/[b])☆The nasal cavity 鼻腔---- the noseThe nasal cavity is connected with the oral cavity. The soft part of the roof of the mouth, the velum, can be drawn back to close the passage so that all air exiting from the lungs can only go through the mouth. The sounds produced in this condition are not nasalized. If the passage is left open to allow air to exit through the nose, the sounds produced are nasalized sounds.2.2.3 Orthographic representation of speech sounds--- broad and narrow transcriptions(语音的正字法表征:宽式/窄式标音)---- A standardized and internationally accepted system of phonetic transcription is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The basic principle of the IPA is using one letter to represent one speech sound.Broad transcription: the transcription with letter-symbols only(代表字母的符号)e.g. clear [l]Narrow transcription: the transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics. e.g. dark [ l ], aspirated [ p ] (Diacritics are additional symbols or marks used together with the consonant and vowel symbols to indicate nuances of change in their pronunciation.)E.g. : [l]→[li:f]--→ a clear [l] (no diacritic); [l]→[bild]--→a dark [l] (~)[p]→[pit]--→an aspirated [p h](h表示送气)[p]→[spit]--→an unaspirated [p] (no diacritic)2.2.4 Classification of English speech sounds---- English speech sounds are generally classified into two large categories:⏹V owels⏹ConsonantsNote: The essential difference between these two classes is that in the production of the former the air stream meets with no obstruction of any kind in the throat, the nose or the mouth, while in that of the latter it is somehow obstructed.2.2.4.1 Classification of English consonantsEnglish consonants can be classified either in terms of manner of articulation or in terms of place of articulation.In terms of manner of articulation根据发音方法分(the manner in which obstruction is created)① Stops闭塞音: the obstruction is total or complete, and then going abruptly[p]/[b], [t]/[d], [k]/[g]② Fricatives摩擦音: the obstruction is partial, and the air is forced through a narrow passage in the month[f]/[v], [s]/[z], [∫]/[з], [θ]/[δ], [h] (approximant)③ Affricates塞擦音: the obstruction, complete at first, is released slowly as in fricatives [t∫]/[dз]④ Liquids流音: the airflow is obstructed but is allowed to escape through the passage between part or parts of the tongue and the roof of the mouth[l]→a lateral sound; [r]→ retroflex⑤ Glides滑音: [w], [j] (semi-vowels)Liquid + glides + [h]→ approximants⑥ Nasals鼻音: the nasal passage is opened by lowering the soft palate to let air pass through it[m], [n], [η]By place of articulation根据发音部位分(the place where obstruction is created)①bilabial双唇音: upper and lower lips are brought together to create obstructions [p]/[b], [w]→(velar)②labiodentals唇齿音: the lower lip and the upper teeth [f]/[v]③dental齿音:the tip of the tongue and the upper front teeth [θ]/[δ]④alveolar齿龈音: the front part of the tongue on the alveolar ridge [t]/[d], [s]/[z], [n], [l], [r]⑤palatal腭音: tongue in the middle of the p alate [θ]/[δ], [t∫]/[dз], [j]⑥velars软腭音:the back of the tongue against the velum [k], [g], [η]⑦glottal喉音: the glottal is the space between the vocal cords in the larynx [h]Conclusion: Factors to describe a consonant(1) State of vocal cords (VL/VD)(2) Manner of articulation (MA)(3) Place of articulation (PA)2.2.4.2 Classification of English vowelsV owel sounds are classified according to: the position of the tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels.Highest Part of the tongue (front, central, back)Front vowels are the ones in the production of which the front part of the tongue is raised the highest such as [i:] [i] [e] [æ] [a].When the central part of the tongue maintains its highest position, the vowels thus produced are central vowels such as [3:] [Ə] and [ ] .If the back of the tongue is held the highest, the vowels thus produced are back vowels such as [u:][u] Openness of mouthRounded or unrounded lipsrounded vowels: All the back vowels in English are rounded except [ɑ:].unrounded vowels: All the front vowels and central vowels in English are unrounded.Length of the vowellong vowels: They are usually marked with a colon such as [i:] and [ɑ:]short vowels: other vowels in English are short vowels such as [e], [ə] and [æ].monophthongs: individual vowelsdiphthongs: produced by moving from one vowel position to another through intervening positions. (集中/合口)2.3 Phonology2.3.1 Phonology and phoneticsWhat does English phonetics deal with?English phonetics is concerned with all speech sounds that occur in the English language. It studies how these sounds are produced and how they are described and classified.What does English phonology deal with?English phonology investigates the sound system of English. Different from English phonetics, English phonology is not interested in the actual production of English sounds, but in the abstract aspects:A. the function of sounds--- whether a sound can differentiate the meanings of wordsB. their patterns of combination--- how sounds are combined to form a permissible sound sequence⏹Both are concerned with the same aspect of language----the speech sounds. But they differ in their approachand focus.⏹Phonetics is of general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages; it aims toanswer questions like: how they are produced, how they differ from each other, what phonetic features they have, how they can be classified, etc.⏹Phonology aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used toconvey meaning in linguistic communication.(Speaker‟s mind--- Mouth--- Ear--- Listener‟s mind)2.3.2 Phone, phoneme, and allophonePhoneme: minimal distinctive unit in sound system of a language; a phoneme is a phonological unit; it is a unit of distinctive value, it is an abstract unit; not a particular sound, but it is represented by a certain phone in certain phonetic context, e.g. the phoneme /p/ can be represented differently in [pIt], [tIp] and [spIt].Phone: a phone is a phonetic unit or segment; the realization of phoneme in general. The speech sounds we hear and produce during linguistic communication are all phones. Phones do not necessarily distinguish meaning, some do, some don‟t. For example, in the words feel[fi:ł], leaf[li:f], tar[t h a:], star[sta:],there are altogether 7 phones: [f],[i:],[ł], [l], [t h]. [t], [a:], but [ł] and[l] do not distinguish meaning, [t h] and [t] do not distinguish meaning as well.Allomophone: the different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme; realizations of a particular phoneme.2.3.3 Phonemic contrast, complementary distribution, and minimal pairPhonemic contrast: when two phonemes can occur in the same environments in two words and they distinguish meaning, they‟re in phonemic contrast.E.g. pin & bin → /p/ vs. /b/ rope & robe → /p/ vs. /b/Complementary distribution:two or more than two allophones of the same phonemes are said to be in complementary distribution because they can not appear at the same time, or occur in different environment, besides they do not distinguish meaning.E.g. dark [l] & clear [l], aspirated [p] & unaspirated [p]Minimal pair: 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 sounds are said to form a minimal pair.E. g. mail vs. nail beat, bit, bet, bat, boot, but, bait, bite, boat2.3.4 Some rules in phonology2.3.4.1 Sequential rulesSequential rules ---- the rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language, e.g. in English, “k b i I” might possibly form blik, klib, bilk, kilb.⏹If a word begins with a [l] or a [r], then the next sound must be a vowel.⏹If three consonants should cluster together at the beginning of a word, the combination should obey thefollowing three rules, e.g. spring, strict, square, splendid, screama) the first phoneme must be /s/,b) the second phoneme must be /p/ or /t/ or /k/,c) the third phoneme must be /l/ or /r/ or /w/.⏹The affricates [t∫],[dз] and the sibilants [s],[z],[θ],[δ]are not to be followed by anothersibilants.2.3.4.2 Assimilation ruleAssimilation: articulatory adaptation of one sound to a nearby sound with regard to one or more features.Nasalization: /m/, /n/, /ŋ/[-nasal]→ [+nasal]/_______ [+nasal]Dentalization: /ð/, /θ/[-dental]→[+dental]/______[+dental]V elarizatio n: /k/, /g/, / ŋ/: Word-final /n/ becomes velar before velar plosives/k, g/: ten cups; ten girls[-velar]→ [+ velar]/______[+velar]2.3.4.3 Deletion ruleDeletion rule---- it tells us when a sound is to be deleted although it is orthographically represented, e.g. design, paradigm, there is no [g] sound; but the [g] sound is pronounced in their corresponding forms signature, designation, paradigmatic.E.g. delete a [g] when it occurs before a final nasal consonant 省略词末鼻辅音前的[g]音2.3.5 Suprasegmental features--- stress, tone, intonationsegmental features(切分特征)--- the distinctive features which can only have an effect on one sound segment are called segmental features.Suprasegmental features----the phonemic features that involve more than single sound segments (larger than phoneme)2.3.5.1 StressWord stress⏹The location of stress in English distinguishes meaning, e.g. a shift in stress in English may change the part ofspeech of a word:verb: im‟port; in‟crease; re‟bel; re‟cord …noun: …import; …increase; …rebel; …record …⏹Similar alteration of stress also occurs between a compound noun and a phrase consisting of the sameelements:compound: …blackbird; …greenhouse; …hotdog…noun phrase: black …bird; green …house; hot …dog…⏹The meaning-distinctive role played by word stress is also manifested in the combinations of -ing forms andnouns:modifier: …dining-room; …reading room; …sleeping bag…doer: sleeping …baby; swimming …fish; flying …plane…Sentence stressSentence stress----the relative force given to the components of a sentence. Generally, nouns, main verbs, adjectives, adverbs, numerals and demonstrative pronouns are stressed. Other categories like articles, person pronouns, auxiliary verbs prepositions and conjunctions are usually not stressed.Note: for pragmatic reason, this rule is not always right, e.g. we may stress any part in the following sentences.He is driving my car.My mother bought me a new skirt yesterday.2.3.5.2 T oneTones are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords.⏹English is not a tone language, but Chinese is.ma 妈(level)ma 麻(the second rise)ma 马(the third rise)ma 骂(the fourth fall)2.3.5.3 IntonationWhen pitch, stress and length variations are tied to the sentence rather than to the word, they are collectively known as intonation.English has three types of intonation that are most frequently used (first three types):falling tone (matter of fact statement)rising tone (doubts or question)the fall-rise tone (implied message)the rise-fall toneHe is not ↘ there. What did you put in my ↗ drink, ↘ Jane?He is not ↗ there? What did you put in my ↘ drink, ↗ Jane?For instance,“That’s not the book he wants.”Ss exercise: Explain the meaning of the following words or phrases or sentences when marked with different stress or with different intonation.Assignments1.

1、 Linguistics studies languages in general, but nit any particular language ,eg .English,Chinese,Arabic,and Latin,etc.2、 By diachronic study we mean to study the changes and development of language.3、 Complete homonyms are often brought into being by coincidence.4、The meaning of the word “seal” in the sentence “the seal could not be found” cannot be determined unless the context in which the sentence occurs is restored.5、 An lnnatist view of language acquisition holds that human beings are biologically programmedfor language.6、 The same word may stir up different association in people under different cultural background.7、 A child who enters a foreign language speech community by the age of three or four can learnthe new language without the trace of an accent,8、Modern linguistics is mostly descriptive.9、Applied linguistics is the application of linguistic principle and theories to language teaching and learning.10、A phonological feature of the English compounds is that the stress of the word always falls on the first element, and the second element receives secondary stress.11、All the affixes belong to bound morphemes.12、A polysemic word is the result of the evolution of the primary meaning of the word.13、When a child acquires his mother tongue, he also acquires a language-specific cultureand becomes socialized in certain way.14、Duality is one of the characteristics of human language. It refers to the fact that language has two levels of structures: the system of sounds and the system of meanings.15、Fore as in foretell is both a prefix and a bound morpheme16、The meaning of an utterance is ,in a sense, richer than the meaning of the sentence from which it is derived.17、People in the west tend to verbalize their gratitude and compliments more than Chinese speakers and they tend to accept thanks and compliments more than we Chinese do.18、Auditory phonetics studies the perception of sound s by the human ear.19、Synonymy and polysemy are relations between form and meaning.20、People in the West tend to verbalize their gratitude and compliments more than Chinese speakers and that they tend to accept thanks and compliments more than we Chinese.21、A broad transcription is used generally in dictionaries and language textbooks.22、The meaning of a compound is not always the sum of the meanings of its parts.23、Strictly speaking, according to F.palmer, there are no real synonyms and no two words have exactly the same meaning.24、The standard dialect is not related to any particular group of language users.25、A children who enters a foreign language speech community by the age of three or four learns the new language without the trace of an accent.26、One learns his first language directly from relity.1.Modern linguistics regards the written language as the natural or primary medium of human language.2.In narrow transcription, we transcribe the speech sounds with letter-symbols only while in broad transcription we transcribe the speech sounds with letter-symbols together with the diacritics.3.Of the three phonetics branches, the longest established one, and until recently the most highly developed, is acoustic phonetics.4.According to co-operative principle, the conversational participants have to strictly observe the four maxims, so that the conversation can go on successfully.5.In communication it will never be the case that what is grammatical is not acceptable, and what is ungrammatical may not be inappropriate.6.Since there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds, language is absolutely arbitrary.7.Vowels may be distinguished as front, central and back according to the manner of articulation.8.Accoring to the innatist view of language acquisition, only when the language is modified and adjusted to the level of children’s comprehension, do they process and internalize the language items.9.According to Austin, the performative utterance is used to perform an action, it also has truth value.10,Children can learn their native language well whenever they start and whatever kinds of language samples they receive.11.Linguistic forms having the same sense may have different references in different situations while linguistic forms with the same reference always have the same sense.12.We can always tell by the words a compound contains what it means because the meaning of a compound is always the sum of the meanings of its parts.13.More than often we use bound morpheme alone.14.Human children everywhere develop a language with instruction, unless they suffer from extreme mental deficiency.15.The first language is acquired consciously.16.All vowels in English are voiceless.17.The inflectional morphemes are morphemes which add lexical meaning to the words they are attached.18.According to semantic theory, we are performing various kinds of acts when we are speaking.19.In acquiring their first language. children always concentrate on structure.20.Children must have parents to instruct them in order to learn to speak.第一章语言学的定义:Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of study of language.语音学phonetics:it studies of sounds used in linguistic

knowledge of the rules of his language.Performance:is the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication.传统语法与现代语言学Traditional grammar & Modern linguisticsThe different between Traditional grammar and Modern linguistics1.Linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive2. Modern linguistics regards the spoken language as primary not the written.3. Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar in that it does not force语言的定义:Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.Design features refer to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it 语言的识别from any animal system of communication.的特征作者:Charles Hockett (查尔斯·霍凯特)(1)Arbitrariness:It means that there is no logical connection between meaningsand sounds(2)Productivity:Language is productive or creative in that it makes possible theconstruction and interpretation of new signals by its users.(3)Duality:Linguage is a system, which consists of two sets of structures,or two levels(4)Displacement:Language can be used to refer to contexts removed from theimmediate situations of the speaker.(5)Cultural transmission:While human capacity for language has a genetic basis, the details of any language system are not genetically transmitted, but insteadhave to be taught and learned.语言的功能Three main functions are often recognized of language:(1) The descriptive function,also referred to differently as the cognitive,or referential,orpropositional ,is assumed to be the primary function of language.Eg.The Sichuan earthquake is the most serious one China has ever suffered.(2) The expressive function, supplies information about the user’sfellings.preformances,prejudices ,and values.Eg.I will never go camping with Mike again.(3) The social function,also referred to as the interpersonal funcation,seves to establishand maintain social relations between people.Eg.How can I help you,sir?There are six elements of a speech event specified by Jakobson are:Addresser,Addressee,Context,Message,Contact,Code.They are associated with six basic functions of language as shown below:(1)Addresser---EmotiveThe addresser expresses his attitude to the topic or situation of communication.Eg.I hate whatever they are planning for me.(2)Addressee---ConativeThe addressee aims to influence the addressee’s course of action or ways of thinking.Eg.Why not go and see another doctor?(3)Context---ReferentialThe addresser conveys a message or information.Eg.As far as I know,(4)Message---PoeticThe addresser uses language for the sole purpose of displaying the beauty oflanguage itself. Eg.poetry.(5)Contact---Phatic communionThe addresser tries to establish or maintain good interpersonal relationships with theaddressee.Eg.Hi.How are you this morning?(6)Code---Metalinguistic’s experience of the real or第二章语音学的定义:Phonetics is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language, it is concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world’s languages.Three branches of phonetics articulatory phonetics语音学分支:auditory phoneticsacoustic phoneticsThe articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important areas:Organs of speech: pharyngeal cavity----the throatOral cavity---the mouthNasal cavity---the noseOrthographic representation of speech sounds:Broad transcription:The transcription with letter-symbols only called broad transcription.Narrow transcription:The transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics iscall narrow transcriptionThe speech sounds in English into two broad categories: Vowels and Consonants音素phone:A phone is a phonetic unit or segment.音位phoneme:A phoneme is a phonological unit.it is a unit that is of distinctive value.音位变体allophone:The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phoneticenvironments are called the allophones of that phoneme.音位对立phonemic contrast:[pit]和[bit],[rəup]和[rəub] 中的/p/./b/互补分布complementary distribution:清晰的舌边音[ l ],模糊舌边音[ㄨ]最小对立体minimal pair:pill&bill,除了词首的辅音外形式完全相同序列规则Sequential rules:This indicates that there are rules that governthe combination of sound in a particular language.Some rules in phonology 同化规则Assimilation rules:This assimilation rule assimilates one soundto another by “copying” a sequential phoneme,thus making thetwo phones similar.省略规则Deletion rule:Another phonological rule is the deletion rule.Ittells us when a sound is to be deleted although it isorthographically represented.Suprasegmental features---The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments arecalled suprasemental features;these are the phonological properties ofsuch units as the syllable ,the word,and the sentence.(1) Stress:(2) Tone: are pitch variations, which are called by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords(3) Intonation:When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word inisolation, they are collectively known as intonation.第三章形态学morphology:refer to the part of the grammar that is concerned with word formation and word structure.Open class word: nouns,verbs,adjectives and adverbs make up the largest part of vocabulary.They are content words of a language.Closed class word:conj,perp.art and pron consist of the “grammatical” and “functional” words.free morpheme: A morpheme which can be a word by itself is called a free morphemebound morpheme: A morpheme must attached to another one is a bound morpheme.Allomorphs定义:The variant forms of a morpheme are called its allomorphs.(The allomorphic variation involves different pronunciations of the plural morpheme –s.)–ic are thus called derivational morphemes.morphological rules: un + accept + able]Derivation定义:is an affixational process that forms a word with a meaning and/or category distinct form that of its bases.Compounds复合词:Syntax定义:is a branch of linguistics that studies the rules that govern the formation of sentencs.Categories范畴:refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfil the name or similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence ,a noun phrase or a verb.句法范畴syntactic categories: A fundamental fact about words in all human languages is that they can be grouped together into a relatively small number of classes, called syntactic categories.Here word level categories are divided into Two kinds:1) major lexical categories 2)minor lexical categoriesTo determine a word’s category,three criteria are usually employed:1)Namely, 2)meaning 3)inflection and distributionPhrases that are formed of more than one word usually contain the following element:1)head 2)specifier 3)complementThe word around which a phrase is formed is termed head.The words on the left side of the heads are said to function as specifiersThe words on the right side of the heads are complements.Phrase structure rule:Such special type of grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule.(specifier)X(complement)X*Con XPhrase elements1.specifiersplements3.modifiersSentencDes Transformations Auxiliary movement Do insertionDeep structure: The first, formed by the XP rule in accordance with the head’s sub categorizationproperties, is called deep structure.(D-structure)Surface structure: The second, corresponding to the final syntactic form of the sentence which语义学的定义:1. The naming theorySome views concerning 2.The conceptualist viewthe study of meaning 3.Contextualism关于意义研究的一些观点 4.BehaviorismSense :is concerned with the inherent meaning of a linguistic form.Reference: means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic word of experience.,1.dialectal synonyms2.Stylistic synonymsSynonymy .3.emotive or evaluative meaning4.Collocational synonyms5.Semantically different synonymsPolysemy: While different words may have the same or similar meaning, the same one word may have more than one meaning.1.homophoneHomonymy 2.homographsplete homonyms1.superodinateHyponymy 2.hyponyms3.co-hyponyms1.Gradable antonymsAntonymy plementary antonyms3.relational opposites1.X与Y同义X is synonymous with Y句子之间的关系 2.X与Y不一致X is inconsistent with Y3.X预设Y X presupposes Y(Y是X的先决条件)Y is a prerequisite of X4.X自我矛盾X is a contradiction5.X语义反常X is semantically anomalous1.成分分析法Componential analysis-----is a way proposed by the structural semanticists to analyzeword meaning,意义分析 2.述谓结构分析法Predication analysis----a way to analyze sentence meaning.Pragmatics定义:A general definition is that it is the study of how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication,Context定义:It is generally considered as constituted by the knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer,Austin’s model of speech acts(论述)Eg.You have left the door wide open.1.Locutionary act performed by the speaker is his utterance of all the words“you”,have”,”door”,”open”,etc.thus expressing what the words literally mean,2.The illocutionary act performed by the speaker is that by making such an utterance he has expressed his intention of speaking,i,e.asking someone to close the door, or making a complaint, depending on the context.3.The perlocutionary act refers to the effect of the utterance. If the hearer gets the speaker’s message and sees that the speaker means to tell him to close the door, the speaker has successfully brought about the change in the real word he has intended to ,then the perlocutionary act is successfully performed.Searle’s classification of speech acts(赛尔对言语行为的分类)The five types of illocutionary acts are:1.阐述类representatives: stating or describing, saying what the speaker believes to be true.2.指令类directive: trying to get the hearer to do something.3.承诺类commissive: committing the speaker himself to some future course of action4.表达类expressive: expressing feeling or attitude towards an existing state.5.宣告类declaration: bring about immediate changes by saying something.(新内容-论述)Searle’s indirect speech actAccording to Searle,when a speaker is using indirect language,he is performing two speech acts simultaneously;One is the primary speech cat and the other is the secondary speech act.The primary speech act is the speaker’s goal of communication.The secondary speech act is the means by which he achieves his goal.The example provided by Searle to illustrate his idea is the following brief exchange between two students:Student X:Let’s go to the movies tonightStudent Y:I have to study for an examObviously, by saying“I have to study for an exam “student Y is saying ‘NO’ to student X’s suggestion to go to the movies. According to Searle’s indirect speech act theory. The primary speech act student Y performs with his utterance is the act of rejecting student X’s suggestion and the secondary speech act he performs is the act of making a statement about the fact that he has to study for an exam. So the relation between the secondary speech act and the primary one is that between means and end.The four maxims of the CP:1) the maxim of quantity2) the maxim of qyalityWhat is CP?In Grice’s view, to converse with each other, the participants must first of all be willing to cooperate; otherwise, it would not be possible for them to carry on the talk. This general principle is called the Cooperative Principle, abbreviated as CP.(新内容)Pragmatic failure语用失误Pragmatic failure occurs when the speaker fails to use language effectively to achieve a specific communicative purpose, or when the hearer fails to recognize the intention or the illocutionary force of the speaker’s utterance in the context of communication. Pragmatics failure may occur inintra-cultural background.Pragmatics is assumed to have two dimensions:Pragmalinguistics: is applied to the more linguistic and of pragmatics. i, e. how the linguistic forms of a language are used to serve specific pragmatic purposes.Sociopragmatics:is the sociological interface of pragmatics; it is concerned with the customary ways in which people of a particular culture behave to achieve a particular purpose.第七章Historical linguistics: as a branch of linguistic, is mainly concerned with both the description and explanation of language changes that occurred over time.Morphological and syntactic change1)Addition of affixesFusion: refers to this type of grammaticalization in which words develop into affixes,either prefixes or suffixes.2) Loss of affixes3) Change of word order4) Change in negation ruleAddition of new words(要记例子)P981.创新词Coinage: A new word can be coined outright to fit some purpose, mostly for new things and objects.2.缩写词Clipped words: Clipping refers to the abbreviation of longer words or phrases.3.紧缩词Blending:A blend is a word formed by combining parts of other words.4.词首字母缩略词Acronyms: are words derived from the initials of several words.5.逆词构法Back-formation:New words may be coined from already existing words by “subtracting ”an affix thought to be part of the old word.6.功能转换Functional shift: Word may shift from one part of speech to another without the addition of affixes, which is also called conversion.7.借用Borrowing: When different cultures come into contact, words are often “borrowed” from one language to another.Semantic changes1. Semantic broadening2. Semantic narrowing3. Semantic shift第八章(定义)Sociolinguistics is the subfield of linguistic that studies the relation between language and society,between the uses of language and the social structures in which the users of language live.(言语社区)speech community : the social group that singled out for any special study is called the speech community.(言语变体)speech variety: refers to any distinguishable form of speech used by a speaker or a group of speakers.(地域方言)a regional dialect: is a linguistic variety used by people living in the same geographical region.(个人言语)idiolect: is a personal dialect of an individual speaker that combines elements regarding regional, social, gender, and age variations.(语域)register: Thy type of language which is selected as appropriate to the type of situation is a register.Halliday further distinguishes three social variables that determine the register:Field of discourse: refers to what is going on,Tenor of discourse: refers to the role of relationship in the situation in question.Mode of discourse: refers to the means of communication.(标准方言)The standard variety is a superimposed, socially prestigious dialect of a language.(洋泾浜语)Pidgin: is a special language variety that mixes or blends languages and it is used by people who speak different languages for restricted purposes such as trading.(克里奥耳语)Creole: When a pidgin has become the primary language of a speech community, and is acquired by the children of that speech community as their native language, it is said to that become a creole.(双语现象)Bilingualism: It has been observed that in some speech communities, two languages are used side by side with each having a different role to play, and language switching occurs when the situation changes. This constitutes the situation of bilingualism.第九章Culture, in a broad sense, means the total way of life a people, including the patterns of belief, customs, objects, institutions, techniques, and language that Characterizes the life of the human community.Culture, in a narrow sense, culture may refer to local or specific practice, beliefs or customs.Sapir-Whorf hypothesis(SWH): Sapir and Whorf believe that language filters people’s perception and the way the categorize their experiences.This interdependence of language and thought is now knows as Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.The hypothesis is now interpreted mainly in two different ways:A strong version and a weak one.While the strong version believes that the language patterns determine people’s thinking and behavior, the weak on holds that the former influence the later.Contacts: between peoples with different cultures usually lead to change in one or both systems. Traditionally, three forms of culture contact are indentified:1)acculturation: is the process of changing in material culture, traditional practices, and beliefs that occurs when on group’s cultural system interferes with that of another, directly or indirectly challenging the latter to adapt to the ways of the former.2)assimilation: is the process whereby individuals or groups of differing ethnicity are absorbed into the dominant culture of a society---not always completely.3)amalgamation: occurs when a society becomes ethnically mixed in a way that represents a synthesis rather than the elimination or absorption of one group by another.(文化重叠)Cultural overlap: between two societies owing to some similarities in the natural environment and psychology of human beings.(文化传播)Cultural diffusion: Through communication, some elements of culture A enter culture B and become part of culture B, thus bringing about culture diffusion, which has been shaped gradually and unceasingly,(语言帝国主义)Linguistic imperialism: is a kind of linguicism which can be defined sa the promulgation of global ideologies through the worldwide expansion of one language.(跨文化交际)Intercultural communication: also known as cross—cultural communication, is communication between people whose cultural perceptions and symbols systems are distinct enough to alter the communication event.第十章(语言习得)Language acquisition refers to the child’s acquisition of his mother tongue, i.e. how the child comes to understand and speak the language of his community.儿童语言习得理论(theories of child language acquisition)1)the behaviorist view行为主义者观Traditional behaviorists view language as behavior and believe that language learning is simply a matter of imitation and habit formation.2)the innatist view天赋主义者观The linguist Noam Chomsky claims that human beings are biologically programmed for language and that the language develops in the child just as other biological functions such as walking.3)the interactionist view互动主义者观The interactionist view holds that language develops as a result of the complex interplay between the human characteristics of the child and environment in which the child develops.Critical period Hypothesis(CPH)Eric Lenneberg, a biologist, argued that the LAD, like other biological functions, works successfully only when it is stimulated at the right time---a specific and limited time period for language acquisition---which is refered to as the Critical Period Hypothesis.(外延缩小)Under-extension: Children do not learn the meaning of a word “all at once”. When a child learns a new word, he may well under-extend it or overextend it.(过度延伸)Over-extension: Overextension happens when a children takes a property of a object and generalizes it. It is likely to occur later rather than immediately following the acquisition of a word.(听力损伤)Hearing impairment:which can be slight or severe and may lead to minor loss or total lack of language.(智力障碍)Mental retardation:which may cause a delayed language acquisition(自闭症)Autism: language impairment from the very beginning(口吃)Stuttering:repetition of sound, syllables, or phrases where the speaker can not “release” the words.(失语症)Aphasia: partial or total loss of language due to brain damage第十一章Second Language Acquisition(SLA)第二语言习得Formally established itself as a discipline around the 1970s,refers to the systematic study of how one person acquires a second language subsequent to his native language.(错误分析)Error analysis involves, first independently or objectively, describing the learner’s interlanguage.(that is, their version of the target language and the target language itself),then a comparison of the two is followed to locate mismatches)(中介语)Interlanguage:is defined as an abstract system of learner’s target language system, it has now been widely used to refer to the linguistic expressions learners produce especially the wrong or not idiomatic ones,.(过渡概括)Overgeneralization: is defined as the use of previously available strategies in new situation.第十二章(神经语言学)Neurolinguistics is the study of the relationship between brain and language.(心理语言学)Psycholinguistics is the study of language processing.。
