第一章古代语言学第一节古印度语言研究1.波尼尼的《梵语语法》第二节古希腊、罗马语言研究一、古希腊哲学家的语言研究1.苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德被并称为“古希腊三贤”,更被后人广泛认为是西方哲学的奠基者。
2.柏拉图《科拉迪洛篇》3.亚里士多德恩格斯称他是古代的黑格尔。
主要著作:《解释篇》《修辞学》《诗学》4.芝诺创立的哲学学派——斯多嘎学派。
因芝诺在雅典意为“彩绘有顶柱廊”的画廊讲学,故称之为画廊学派或斯多葛派二、重要争论:“词”“物”之争1.公元前五世纪:自然派:事物的名称是由事物的本质决定的;惯例派:事物的名称和带我的本质之间没有必然的联系,名称之所以指称事物,是由于惯例。
自然界是如何构成的?自然界的运动情况如何反应到语言之中?观点一:大自然的运动没有什么规律可言观点二:星球的运动和季节的变化不是杂乱无章的,而由一种不可抗拒的规律支配的。
2.公元前三世纪左右(核心转移:如何看待语言的规则)规则派:语言是人为的,就一定有规律的。
语言基本上是有系统,有规则的。

研究语言之间结构上的亲缘关系,通过对有亲属关系的语言进行比较研究,找出它们之间的对应规律,从而构拟这些语言的共同母语。
拉斯克最先对亲属语言进行系统的比较研究,代表作《古代北方语或冰岛语起源的研究》葆朴第一个将梵语与欧洲语言进行系统比较的语言学家洪堡特《论人类语言结构的差异及其对人类精神发展的影响》语言学研究成就:语言类型学。
认为语言有四种类型:孤立语:一个词代表一个意思的。
粘着语:用简单的词组合成复合而词形和意义又都不变的。
屈折语:用词尾变化来表示语法关系的。
西方语言学史期末考查题目
西方语言学史期末考查题目一、简述(60分):1、美国结构主义语言学的基本理论方法及其对汉语研究的影响。
(30分)美国描写主义对现代汉语语法学的影响一、美国描写主义的理论与方法美洲印第安居民有大约可分为150个语种的近千种语言,20世纪初美国学者开始注意研究印第安语言文化。
鲍阿斯(F.Boas)指出,每种语言都有自己的语音、形式和意义的结构,应该依据它本身的特点来描写,而不应该照搬别种语言的预定标准来描写。
美国语言学家采取切分法对这些与印欧语迥然不同的印第安语进行描写,,逐步形成了以语言形式特征为研究重点的描写主义语言学流派。
美国描写主义学派以萨丕尔(E·Sapir)和布龙菲尔德(L·Bloomfield)为代表,他们都赞同索绪尔的语言符号系统观点,都研究共时语言但风格大有不同。
萨丕尔的语言观具有浓厚的人文主义倾向,认为语言纯粹是人类的和非本能的,强调语言中的文化意识。
布龙菲尔德的则以行为主义心理学为理论基础,主张依据"刺激-反应"原理解释语言行为,其代表作《语言论》(1933)影响广泛,以至于人们把20世纪三四十年代的语言学称为"布龙菲尔德时代",一提到"美国结构主义学派"或"美国描写主义语言学派"主要指布龙菲尔德及其门徒。
心理行为主义、结构形式主义、发现描写主义,显示了布龙菲尔德研究语言的指导原则、理论核心和发现程序,以致于走上了"为了研究形式必须排除意义"的极端。
海里斯(Z.S.Harris)、霍克特(C.F.Hockett)、布洛克(B.Bloch)、格里森(H.Agleason)和弗里斯(C.C.Fries)等人继承和发展了布龙菲尔德学说,除弗里斯和格里森,其他人在语言分析中都绝对排除意义,形成了所谓"后布龙菲尔德结构主义"。
美国描写主义形成了独特的研究分析法。

华师语言学概论复习资料教材
语言学概论via GJM题型:名词解释(定义+分类+举例)+分析题+简答题+论述题+小作文(具体体会/收获)第一章:语言和语言学(第一节重点,第四节不考)第一节:语言的性质(内涵)和范围(外延)1.语言的定义(结构+功能):语言是一种复杂的符号系统,是人类进行社会交际和思维认知的工具。
2.语言的性质:(6种)A.语言的符号性:如果用甲事物代表乙事物,而甲乙两事物之间没有必然的联系,那么甲事物就是代表乙事物的符号;其中甲事物就是符号的能指(形式),乙事物就是符号的所指(内容)——符号三要素:能指、所指、人为约定。
语言符号主要的相互关联的特征:a.语言符号的任意性和理据性(所有符号的共同特征)——能指和所指之间无必然联系、可自由选择/合成词都有明显理据(雨衣、学者),单纯词中也有一些词理据清楚(叮当、滴答);b.语言符号的稳固性和渐变性——凡是具有广泛社会性的符号都具有稳固性;语言符号一般只能采取渐变的方式;c.语言符号的线条性和层次性——线条性指人说话时语言符号在时间上一次出现呈现一种线性序列;语言符号序列的内部结构是有层次的(P6)。
B.语言的系统性:系统是指由若干互相联系的元素构成的有组织的整体,基本特征是元素的联系性和功能的整体性。
系统性就是指系统元素之间的有机联系性。
语言是由符号这种元素构成的系统,语言的符号和符号之间有各种联系(语音、语义、结构、功能等方面)。
a.由于语言符号是相互联系的,所以一个语言符号的价值和作用,取决于该符号在语言系统中的地位和该符号与其他相关符号的关系;b.由于语言具有系统性,一个语言符号发生了变化,就会引起相关语言符号的变化。
C.语言的社会性:社会性自然是语言的本质属性,自然语言从形成到发展变化甚至直到消亡,都取决于社会意志和社会需要,离开了社会,语言就不可能生存和发展。
D.语言的民族性:不同民族的语言有不同的特点,这就是语言的民族性。
语言的民族性是由语言的社会性决定的。
西方语言学史
西方语言学史大纲一、传统语文学的界定、性质及其兴起1.传统语文学的界定传统语文学是传统语言学的重要组成部分,它主要包括三大语文传统,分别是古希腊传统、古印度传统,以及中世纪阿拉伯传统。
传统语言学是一个与现代语言学相对的概念,泛指20世纪以前的语言学,特别是指索绪尔的语言学理论之前的各种语言学理论。
那么,与它相对的现代语言学就是指20世纪以来,建立在瑞士语言学家索绪尔的语言理论基础上的各种语言流派及其分支学科的总称。
传统语言学和现代语言学是在时间上完全相对的两个概念。
它们以20世纪索绪尔的语言理论为分界点,把人类史上的全部语言研究分成了两部分——在索绪尔理论之前的属于传统语言学的范畴,而在索绪尔理论之后的就属于现代语言学的范畴。
内容上,传统语言学主要由三部分组成,按照时间顺序,它们分别是传统语文学,早期的普通语言学和历史比较语言学。
到这里,我们就能对传统语文学的历史范畴问题有了一个比较清晰的认识。
2.传统语文学的性质“依附性”是传统语文学重要的性质。
传统语文学并不能算作一门真正的独立学科,只能称为语言学的前奏。
要成为一门真正的“学科”,必须要有自己独立的研究对象,独立的研究方法以及多样化的研究材料,而传统语文学并不具备这三个条件。
在汉语中,语文学和语言学虽然仅仅是一字之差,但它们是完全不同的两个词。
语文学是英语philology的汉译,语言学的英文是linguistics。
(1)研究对象方面历史比较语言学以语言为独立研究对象,它通过语言特点的研究揭示语言共性的结构规律和演变规律,与文学、历史学、哲学等一样,是一门独立的科学。
而语文学并不能算作一门真正的学科,它诞生和发展的过程始终不能摆脱其他科学的附庸这一地位。
(2)研究方法方面在语言学诞生之初就是历史比较法,而语文学始终没有自己独立的研究方法(3)研究材料方面历史比较语言学主要是方言、亲属语言等“活”材料,并以此为基础结合历史上遗留下来的书面材料,进行历史比较的研究,借此对“死”材料作出“活”的解释,揭示语言的结构规律和演变规律。

《中西方语言学史》期末考查作业[整理]
《中西方语言学史》期末考查作业一、名词解释1.布拉格学派又称功能-结构语言学派。
1926年,马泰休斯、特鲁别茨科依、雅柯布逊等在布拉格成立布拉格语言学会,标志着该学派的形成。
学会会刊为《布拉格语言学会会刊》,纲领是《语言学现代研究的行动纲领》。
他们把语言看作一种具有合目的性的功能系统,强调共时分析的优先地位,认为语言有多种功能,最突出的贡献是创立了音位学。
2.哥本哈根学派又称丹麦学派,语符学派。
创立于1931年,以哥本哈根语言学会成立为标志,代表人物为叶姆斯列夫、乌尔达尔和布龙达尔,会刊为《语言学学报》。
该学派继承了索绪尔符号系统的思想,从形式和实体方面来分析语言,认为语言只是形式不是实体,语言形式即语言单位之间的关系,包括依存关系、决定关系和并存关系;提出了表达平面和内容平面的两个平面理论,提倡演绎分析法,试图建立一个严密的语符学理论体系。
叶尔姆斯列夫逝世以后,该学派逐渐衰落。
3.萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说又称“语言相对论”,是由萨丕尔提出,经他的学生沃尔夫论证和发展的一种语言决定论的世界观。
假说提出了语言模式和思维模式相关的论题,认为语言结构决定思维方式,语言不同,思维也不同,对世界的看法也不同;语言决定着一个民族的思维方式和文化。
该假说错误地夸大了语言对思维的影响,具有一定的局限性。
4.伦敦语言学派是指以长期在伦敦大学任教的语言学教授弗斯为首形成的语言学派。
该学派注重语言出现的情境,从社会学的角度研究语言。
马林诺夫斯基的“情景意义”思想是学派的思想源泉;弗斯的情景语境理论是学派存在的理论基础;韩礼德的系统·功能语法理论是该学派语言学思想的发展。
5. 乔姆斯基革命1957年,美国语言学家乔姆斯基出版了《句法结构》一书,提出了转换生成语法理论。
该理论以理性主义为哲学基础,采用演绎法和形式化表达手段,研究语言现象,探索语言普遍规律和普遍语法,试图解释人的语言能力,将语言学从社会科学领域引入到了自然科学领域,全面挑战了当时美国流行的结构主义语言学,改变了人们对待语言的传统看法和观念,为语言研究开辟了全新的方向。

第二章西方语言学流派
一、古希腊语法主要有哪两个派别?代表人物是谁?
自然说 vs.约定俗成说
自然派:斯多噶学派——异常派
惯例派:亚里士多德——规则派
(1)斯多噶学派
自然派:语言的声音和所代表的事物之间有天然的联系
白板说:人出生时头脑像一张白纸
(2)亚里士多德
惯例派:语言的词汇意义和形式之间没有必然的联系,语言形成于惯例
二、中世纪语法的突出成就是什么?
中世纪的突出成就就是在经院哲学影响下的思辨语法sepculative grammar
思辨语法学家认为人类之所以能够通过来认识世界,是因为词这种“符号”一方面与人的心智有联系,一方面同它代表的事物有联系。
世间万物有几种不同的存在方式:永久的方式和暂时的方式,要靠永久的方式去区别和归纳事物,而用暂时的方式来观察事物的变化和发展。
三、请简要对比经验主义和理性主义
1、经验主义
对事物进行孤立的分析研究,强调客观依据,强调实用价值
速记学、语音学和密码学
2、理性主义
理想语言,哲学语言——普遍语法
威尔金斯,罗瓦雅尔,包泽
Bloomfield,Chomsky
四、古代印度语言学研究集中在哪个方面?有什么特点?
印度语言学研究集中在三个方面:一般语言理论和语义、语音和音位、语法描写不重理论而重观察;句子与词的语义;外显即时表达和内含永久表达。

第九章认知语言学
认知语言学
认知语言学是语言学的一门分支学科,它以第2代认知科学和体验哲学为理论背景,在反对主流语言学转换生成语法的基础上诞生,在1980年代后期至1990年代开始成型。
认知语言学涉及人工智能、语言学、心理学、系统论等多种学科,它针对生成语言学天赋观,提出:语言的创建、学习及运用,基本上都必须能够透过人类的认知而加以解释,因为认知能力是人类知识的根本。
认知语言学的创立者普遍被认为是乔治·雷可夫(George Lakoff)、马克·约翰逊(Mark Johnson)及朗奴·兰盖克。
当中雷可夫及约翰逊专门研究语言中的隐喻及其与人类认知的关系;而兰盖克的专长在于认知语法。
乔治·雷可夫:认知语言学的其中一位创立者,提倡隐喻是人类日常语言活动中的必须认知能力。
戴浩一:台湾“国立”中正大学语言学研究所教授,是少数的华人专长于认知语言学。
王士元:香港中文大学现代语言学系暨中研院院士,另一少数的华人专长于认知语言学。
王寅:四川外国语大学外国语文中心教授,四川外国语大学博士生导师,四川大学博士生导师,是近几年国内认知语言学的领军人物。
出版了几部相关专著,其《构式语法研究》是国内首部有关构式语法的著作;并发表了几十篇相关论文。
张敏:香港科技大学人文社科学院教授。
著有《认知语言学与汉语名词短语》。
认知语言学不是一种单一的语言理论,而是代表一种研究范式,是多种认知语言理论的统称,其特点是把人们的日常经验看成是语言使用的基础,着重阐释语言和一般认知能力之间密不可分的联系。
这些语言理论虽不相同,但对语言所持的基本假设都大同小异,都不同程度地认可上一节提到的基本观点,只是在讨论和关注的具体语言现象上有所差别。
认知语言学主要理论方法有:Fillmore、Goldberg 等人的“构式语法”(Construction Grammar);
Langacker 的“认知语法”(Cognitive Grammar);
Lakoff、Talmy 等人的“认知语义学”(Cognitive Semantics);
以及S. Lamb 的神经"认知语言学"(Neurocognitive Linguistics)等。
与形式语言学的区别可以概括为以下几个方面:
第一,与形式语言学相反,认知语言学认为,人的语言能力并不是一种独立的能力,而跟
人的一般认知能力紧密相关。
第二,与形式语言学相反,认知语言学认为句法作为语言结构的一部分并不是自足的,句法跟语言的词汇部分、语义部分是密不可分的,后者甚至更重要。
第三,跟形式语言学不同,认知语言学认为语义不仅仅是客观的真值条件,而是主观和客观的结合,研究语义总要涉及人的主观看法或心理因素。
第四,跟形式语言学不同,认知语言学认为语言中的各种单位范畴,和人所建立的大多数范畴一样,都是非离散性的,边界是不明确的。
第五,跟形式语言学不同,认知语言学还在承认人类认知共通性的同时,充分注意不同民族的认知特点对语言表达的影响。
