英语词汇学论文---构词的缩略法

构词的缩略法引言:在英语词汇学中,缩略法(abbreviation或shortening)是把词的音节省略或简化而产生新词的构词方法。

用这种构词法产生的单词有于结构简单、释义清楚、使用方便,已经成为现代英语重要的构词方法之一。

通过缩词法可以有效的帮助学生学习和记忆英语单词,因为各个语言都有简化的存在,运用缩略法构成的一个新词取代原来许多的词,使表达更加趋向简洁。

而在英语构词法的缩略法当中,有截短词、首字母缩略词、首字母拼音词和拼缀词。

本文对这些类型的缩略词将进行简单的解释。

关键词:截除首字母拼缀缩略法简要概括:不增减意义, 也不改变词义, 把词的音节加以省略或简化而产生的词统称为缩略词, 这种构词法称为缩略法。

随着社会的发展, 生活节奏的加快, 无论是讲话还是写文章都要求节省时间和篇幅, 缩略法正顺应了英语这种逐渐简化的趋势。

缩略法不是创造新词, 而是将原词缩短, 或将原来固定词组、复合词简略缩写而成缩略词。

英语中缩略词形式繁多, 如:cig (cigarette) , phone (telephone) , fridge (refrigerator) , daily (daily paper) 等等。

是将一个较长的词或短语缩短, 截去原来单词的一部分而使用剩下的部分构成的新词。

VOA (Voice of America) , IOC (International Olympic Committee) ,TV (Television) , ID (Identification card) 等等, 是运用首字母拼音法将社会组织、政治组织或特殊名词短语以及技术术语的名称的首字母结合起来构成的新词。

一、截短词截短词是截除原词的某一(或某些)音节或“截头去尾”的方法产生新词的构词方法。

在这其中,分为截除词尾、截除词首、截除首尾和截除词腰。

大约自18世纪, 英语中出现了截短词, 如笛福在《鲁滨逊漂流记》中用了though的截短形式。

词汇学论文

词汇学论文词汇学是研究词汇的起源、形成、发展和使用规律的学科,是语言学的重要分支之一。

它通过对词汇的分类、形态、语义、语法等方面的研究,揭示了语言中词汇的丰富性和多样性。

本文将从词汇学的相关概念、研究方法、理论体系等方面进行论述,以期加深对词汇学的理解。

首先,词汇学是研究词汇的学科,那么什么是词汇?词汇是语言的基本单位,是由语言中具有意义的基本元素组成的。

词汇具有相对独立的语义和语法功能,是构成句子的基本要素。

词汇的研究不仅包括对单词的研究,还包括对词组、短语、句子等更复杂的语言单位的研究。

其次,词汇学的研究方法多样,常用的方法有实证研究和理论研究。

实证研究是通过观察、调查、实验等手段,收集和分析大量的语言数据,从而揭示出词汇的形态、语义和语法规律。

理论研究则是从理论的角度出发,对词汇进行归纳、总结和概括,通过建立理论模型来解释和描述词汇的现象。

词汇学的理论体系主要包括词汇分类、词汇形态、词汇语义和词汇语法等方面的理论。

词汇分类是根据词汇的不同特征将其进行划分,常用的分类方式有词性分类、词语类型分类等。

词汇形态研究探讨词汇的形态构成和变化规律,如词缀、派生、复合等。

词汇语义研究考察词汇的意义和词义关系,如同义词、反义词、上下位关系等。

词汇语法则是探究词汇在句子中的语法功能和关系,如主语、谓语、宾语等。

词汇学的研究不仅有助于我们深入了解语言的本质和结构,还对语言教学、语言翻译、语言习得等具有重要的指导意义。

词汇是语言运用的基础,提升词汇能力可以提高语言表达的准确性和流畅性。

在语言教学中,合理有效地组织和教授词汇知识可以帮助学生提高语言能力。

在语言翻译中,正确理解和运用词汇可以促使翻译更加准确地传达原文的意思。

在语言习得中,掌握词汇技巧可以帮助学习者扩展语言知识,提高自己的语言水平。

总之,词汇学作为语言学的重要分支,对于理解语言的结构和功能具有重要的意义。

通过对词汇的分类、形态、语义、语法等方面的研究,可以揭示词汇的丰富性和多样性。

2021小学英语词汇教学论文(优选论文6篇)范文 词汇学习是英语学习的中心任务,离开了词汇,听,说,读,写,译这些语言技能将无法立足。

没有一定的词汇量,则无法运用我们所学的句法结构进行有效的交际。

下面是搜素整理的小学英语词汇教学论文,以供参考。

小学英语词汇教学论文第一篇:小学生英语词汇学习中思维导图的运用 摘要:目前,小学英语词汇教学存在成效不显着的问题,不少学生学了词汇后,不知词义,不会书写,不能发声。

思维导图将抽象的思维变成可画、可看、可循的轨迹图,打开了英语词汇教学改革的大门,是教师提高词汇教学效果行之有效的工具。

教师可参照我国学者贾彦德提出的同义义场、反义义场、语义场词汇的分类引导学生绘制思维导图,并在课堂教学中设置情境,在情境中赋予词汇具体意义。

关键词:思维导图;语义场; 词汇教学; 小学英语; 一、问题提出与现状分析 威尔金斯认为,“没有语法,表达甚微;没有词汇,表达为零”。

词汇在语言教学中具有极其重要的作用。

然而,实际上词汇就像是一头拦路虎,成为教师和学生心中共同的“痛”,教师苦于词汇难教,学生抱怨词汇难记。

笔者就小学英语词汇教学情况开展了问卷调查,数据统计发现,87%的教师认为学生在课堂中对所学词汇的掌握情况一般,3%的教师认为效果不好,仅有10%的教师认为学生掌握速度较快。

那么,学生识记词汇时面临的主要问题在什么地方呢85%的教师认为是词义学习,81%的教师认为是词汇拼写,75%的教师认为是词汇读音。

从以上数据可以看出,小学英语课堂中的词汇教学成效不显着,不少学生学了词汇后,不知词义,不会书写,不能发声。

究其原因,主要包括如下几个方面: 第一,学生学习主动性不强。

在问卷调查中,认为学生不愿意主动学词汇的教师占比高达88%,表明在课堂中学生学习词汇的主动性不强,对词汇学习缺乏兴趣,学习非常被动。

小学阶段的学生活泼、好动、可塑性强,这就需要教师找到符合学生天性的方法,充分激发出学生的学习兴趣,营造好学、乐学的学习氛围。

小学英语词汇教学论文六篇

小学英语词汇教学论文六篇

小学英语词汇教学论文六篇学校英语词汇教学论文范文11.1图片演示图片演示是最普遍的一种方法。

目前,《PEP学校英语》教材最大的特点就是在出示新单词时都配有图片,这样图文并茂,同学心眼合一,认知更加简洁,更加难忘。

而且这些图片基本上是卡通的,符合学校生的认知心理。

例如学习panda,cat,kangaroo,goat等这类单词时出示相应图片,鲜亮的颜色,可爱的卡通图画一下子就吸引了同学的留意力,充分调动了同学的学习乐观性,激发了学习爱好。

简笔画、挂图、插图,幻灯片等呈现课文情境,实际上就是把课文内容形象化,给同学留下深刻的印象,关心同学直接理解并运用所学的内容。

1.2实物演示英语课和其它课相比最大的特点就是能把实物带进课堂,把生活中的诸多真实生活实例经过细心预备搬进课堂,使同学觉得这不是正襟危坐的课堂,为营造轻松开心的课堂氛围埋下了伏笔。

单词教学可由实物来呈现其意思,例如教学食物、衣物、书刊、小玩具、文具等单词时可用实物来结合教学。

比如学习《PEP英语》6B中seed,soil,sprout,plant时,笔者事先将种子、土、幼苗和植物带进了教室,在教授新词时,先通过实物演示教会同学单词,再通过亲自种植等一系列活动向同学演示植物的种植过程,这样教学不但避开了单调枯燥的单词教学,还教会了同学植物的种植方法,真正做到寓教于乐。

2归类记忆法归类记忆法是将分散、零星的一些单词按不同类别划为一组进行系统记忆的方法,特别适合六班级同学在总复习阶段学习单词时运用。

例如:表示水果的单词apple,banana,pear,pineapple,lemon,strawberry,peach,mango等;表示食物类的单词:dumpling,sandwich,hamburger,bread,rice,milk等;表示交通工具的单词:car,bus,plane,sled,ship,subway,bike等。

这种方法使用很普遍,学校阶段大部分所学单词都可以像这样按类别进行归纳,如:方向,文具,生活用品,家庭成员,天气,颜色,时间,运动,人体各部位等。

词汇学论文,浅谈英语构词法,英文版

On Word Formation★PrefaceLearn a language; you must learn pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary. Among the three factors, vocabulary has a very important role in your language-studying. A famous scholar Wilkins said” without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed.”He emphasized that in most cases, the vocabulary is more important than grammar. Another famous lexicologist McCarthy said, when a student learn the second language, no matter how well the student learns grammar, no matter how successfully he masters the seconds of a L2,without words to express a wide range of meanings, communication in that language cannot happen in any manful way.From these two examples and of course include many other cases that are not mentioned here now, we can conclude that if you don’t care vocabulary at all, it is impossible to learn a language in some way. What’s more, you cannot express your real feeling no matter you are happy, sad, fortune, or you are unlucky, because you don’t know what words you can say or you can write.Today, I will tell you what I had learned in this class. What I will teach you is “word formation”, why do I choose this topic to talk? Because in my opinion, if you know the word formation very well, you can remember and use the new words easily. Absolutely, it’s very helpful for your language studying.D on’t you think so?★SummaryEnglish vocabulary has several of Word-formation methods. But the three greatest word formation powers are affixation, compounding, and conversion. The other six kinds of word-formation methods include blending, clipping, acronymy, back-formation, sound reduplication, and communization of proper names.★KeywordsMorphemes, classifying, word-formation★ContextBefore talking about word formation, maybe we should know the morphological structure of English words first. So what we will discuss next is morphological structure of English words. It includes morphemes, morphs and allomorphs, classifying morphemes, identifying morphemes, morphemes and word-formation.☆morphemesTraditionally, words are usually treated as the basic and minimal units of a language to make sentence, which are combinations of words according to syntactic rules. Structurally, however, a word is not the smallest unit because many words can be separated into even smaller meaningful units. These minimal meaningful units are known as morphemes. In view of word-formation, the morpheme is seen as ‘thesmallest functioning unit in the composition of words’. Syn tactically, however, a morpheme is the minimal form of grammatical analysis.Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs. They are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning.Morphemes vary in function. Accordingly, we can classify morphemes into several general categories:①Free versus Bound Morphemes ---- morphemes which are independent of other morphemes are free. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound. They are so named because they are bound to other morphemes to form words or to perform a particular grammatical function.②Derivational versus Inflectional Morphemes ---- morphemes which are used to derive new words are known as derivational morphemes because when these morphemes are conjoined, new words are derived.③Content versus Grammatical Morphemes ---- On a semantic and syntactic basis, morphemes can fall into content and grammatical morphemes. Content morphemes are lexical morphemes which are used as we see above to derive new words, so also known as derivational morphemes.☆Morphemes and Word-formationWe know that words can be analyzed into morphemes, which are the minimal meaningful units in the composition of words. In word-formation formation, however, morphemes are conventionally labeled root, stem, base and affix.Affixes are forms that are attached to words or elements to modify meaning or function. Affixes are bound morphemes because none of them can stand as words in their own right. According to the functions of affixes, we can divide them into inflectional affixes and derivational affixes. Derivational and inflectional affixes are identical with derivational and inflectional morphemes. In view of their distribution in the formation of word, affixes can fall into prefix and suffix.Before we begin our actual discussion of word-building processes, there are some basic concepts that need clarifying:1.Root: a root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzedwithout total loss of identity.2.Stem: a stem may consist of a single root morpheme or of two rootmorphemes. It can be a root morpheme plus one or more affixational morphemes.3.Base: a base is referred to a form to which affixes of any kind can be added. Itcan be a root or a stem.☆ Word FormationThe expansion of vocabulary in modern English depends chiefly on word formation. There is a variety of means being at work now. The most productive are affixation, compounding and conversion.⑴AffixationAffixation is generally defined as the formation of words by adding word-formingor derivational affixes to base. This process is also known as derivation, by which new words are derived from old or base forms. The words created in this way are called derivatives. According to the positions affixes occupy in words, affixation falls into two subcategories: prefixation and suffixation.Prefixation includes:Negative Prefixes (a-, dis- ,in-, non-, un-…)Reversative or Privative Prefixes (de-, dis-, un,…)Pejorative Prefixes (mal-, mis-, pseudo- …)Prefixes of Degree or Size (arch-, co-, extra-, hyper-, macro-, micro-, mini-, out-,over-, sub-, super-, sur-, ultra-, under- …) Prefixes of Orientation and Attitude (anti-, contra-, counter-, pro-…)Locative Prefixes ( fore-, inter-, intra-, super-, tele-, trans-…)Prefixes of Time and Order ( ex-, fore-, post-, pre-, re- …)Number Prefixes ( bi-, multi-, semi-,tri-,uni- …)Conversion Prefixes ( a-, be-, en- …)Miscellaneous Prefixes ( auto- , neo-, pan-, proto-, vice- …)Suffixation includes:Noun suffixes (denominal nouns, deverbal nouns, de-adjective nouns, non andadjective suffixes)Adjective suffixes (denominal suffixes, deverbal suffixes )Adverb suffixes (Omit example)Verb suffixes (Omit example)⑵CompoundingCompounding is the formation of new words by joining two or more bases. Wordsworth formed in this way are called compounds. Compounds can be written solid, hyphenated and open.1.Characteristics of compoundsCompounds have noticeable characteristics which may in most cases differentiate themselves from noun phrases in the following four aspects: Phonological features, semantic features, grammatical, orthographical features.2.Formation of compoundsCompounding can take place within any of the word class, but the productive ones are nouns and adjectives followed by verbs to a much lesser extent.Noun compounds, adjective compounds, verb compounds.⑶ConversionConversion is the formation of new words by converting words of one class to another class. Conversion is generally considered to be a derivational process whereby an item is adapted or converted to a new word class without the addition of an affix. Hence the name zero-derivation. Words produced by conversion are primarily nouns, adjectives, and verbs.Conversion to nouns (deverbal, de-adjectival, miscellaneous conversion )Conversion to verbs (denominal, de-adjectival, miscellaneous conversion )conversion to adjectives (voiceless to voiced consonant, initial to end stress)the other six means of word-formation includes:Blending, Clipping, Acronymy, Back-formation, Sound reduplication, Communization of proper names.Because the words limit, the six word-formation methods is not detailed introduced here. If you are interested in them, please refer to the lexicology. Annotation: 《英语词汇学教程》张伟友著,《词汇学学习指南》杨春慧著。

英语词汇学的论文怎么写[共5篇]

英语词汇学的论文怎么写[共5篇]

英语词汇学的论文怎么写[共5篇]第一篇:英语词汇学的论文怎么写英语词汇学的论文怎么写?英语词汇学习在英语词汇学习过程中,学习者要遵循第二语言习得的规律,掌握并灵活运用多种词汇学习策略。

可分为词汇表策略、语境策略、精加工策略、语义场策略。

一.词汇表策略(Word list strategy)词汇表策略一般为:一列是按字母顺序排列的英语单词,另一列是这些单词的汉语意思(等值词、同义词或近义词)。

有些学者认为,通过词汇表策略能够迅速且有效地学会大量的词汇。

然而,Gaims 和Redman 却指出,通过词汇表记忆词汇会阻碍对所记词汇进行充分地处理和系统地组织,因此就失去了有效的长时记忆的基础。

语言大师桂诗春教授也认为,词汇表策略既费时又费力,徒劳无功,因为这种做法不仅把外语的词语和母语的词语等同起来,而且把它从语言和语境中孤立出来。

二.语境策略(Context strategy)语境策略就是学习者通过上下文语言环境所提供的信息对出现在语境中的生词进行猜测,从而习得这个单词。

语境策略是目前比较流行的词汇学习策略之一,它不仅仅可以扩大词汇量,而且可以让学生了解有关目的语的文化知识。

但是,Channell(Carter &McCarthy ,1988:89)认为,音节认知和重音认知对学习者理解词汇起着非常重要的作用。

为了更好地理解词汇,学习新单词的方法应使学习者准确地内化和吸收新单词:即学会单个音标的发音、了解音节数、掌握重音位置。

从这一方面来看,运用语境策略学习词汇不能算是一个很好的方法。

三.精加工策略(Elaborative strategy)精加工策略是指通过对学习材料进行深入细致的分析、加工,理解其内在的深层意义并促进记忆的一种策略。

皮连生(1998)在《学与教的心理学》一书中也曾提到:“精细加工策略”(同“精加工策略”)指对学习材料作精细的加工活动,即通过在要记忆的材料上增加相关的信息来达到对新的材料记忆的学习方法。

2024年我国大学英语词汇教学论文

2024年我国大学英语词汇教学论文

2024年我国大学英语词汇教学论文一、大学英语词汇教学的现状目前,我国大学英语词汇教学主要采用传统的教学方法,即教师讲授、学生记忆。

在课堂上,教师会对词汇进行解释、举例,并要求学生课后背诵。

虽然这种方法在一定程度上能够帮助学生掌握词汇,但也存在很多问题。

首先,这种教学方法比较单调,缺乏趣味性,容易使学生失去学习的兴趣。

其次,学生只是机械地记忆词汇,缺乏实际应用的机会,很难真正掌握词汇的用法。

最后,传统的教学方法无法满足不同学生的个性化需求,有些学生可能觉得词汇量过大,无法承受,而有些学生则可能觉得词汇量不够,需要更多的拓展。

二、大学英语词汇教学的问题除了上述现状中存在的问题外,大学英语词汇教学还存在以下几个问题。

首先,词汇量与实际应用脱节。

很多学生在背诵词汇时,只是机械地记忆单词的拼写和意思,但对于单词的用法和语境并不了解。

这就导致了在实际应用中,学生无法准确运用所学词汇。

其次,缺乏语境教学。

语境是词汇学习的重要因素之一,但在传统的词汇教学中,教师往往只注重词汇本身的解释和举例,忽视了语境的作用。

学生在没有语境的情况下学习词汇,很难真正掌握其用法。

最后,词汇教学方法单一。

目前,大学英语词汇教学方法比较单一,缺乏多样性和创新性。

这种单一的教学方法无法满足不同学生的需求,也无法激发学生的学习兴趣和积极性。

三、大学英语词汇教学的改进策略针对以上问题,本文提出以下改进策略。

首先,加强词汇应用训练。

教师应该注重词汇的实际应用训练,让学生在语境中学习词汇,了解词汇的用法和语境。

同时,教师还可以通过组织小组讨论、写作等活动,为学生提供更多的实践机会,让学生在实际应用中巩固所学词汇。

其次,引入语境教学。

语境教学是一种有效的教学方法,可以帮助学生更好地掌握词汇。

在教学中,教师应该注重语境的创设,让学生在语境中学习词汇,了解词汇的用法和语境。

同时,教师还可以利用多媒体等教学工具,为学生创造更加真实的语境,提高词汇教学的效果。

初中英语词汇教学论文(汇总8篇)

初中英语词汇教学论文(汇总8篇)

初中英语词汇教学论文(汇总8篇)篇1:初中英语词汇教学论文曾经在学生中做过这样的调查:“学英语,你最怕的是什么?”各种各样的答案都有,有的说害怕语法,有的说害怕作文,有的说害怕听力,但答得最多的却是害怕背单词,尤其是新教材,原来的《英语教学大纲》中规定初中毕业的学生掌握800个左右的单词即可,现如今的《英语课程标准》则要求在1500个左右,在各个科目纷纷“减负”的同时,唯独英语学科在默默承受着“增压”的痛苦,于是就出现了“单词是基础,词汇是拦路虎,背单词真痛苦”的现象。

教学的过程是师生互动的过程,词汇教学也是如此,800个得教,1500个也得教,只是苦了学生,累了教师罢了。

要想让学生掌握好词汇,关键是让学生对英语产生兴趣,把背单词当作一种苦中作乐的事,而要做到这样,又是相当的不容易,除了学生自觉外,教师采用不同的教学方法来帮助调动学生的积极性,也是很重要的。

(一)针对词汇量多的问题,初步统计一下,每个话题的单词少则二三十个,多则五六十个,以前教的时候多是要求学生全部要掌握,胡子眉毛一把抓。

结果是有的学生接受得来,而有的学生一看那么多单词,实在是件痛苦的事,干脆就不背了,反正是死猪不怕开水烫,任你老师罚呗,他自有办法应付,这终究不是好办法。

现如今则稍作改变,要求四会的黑体单词,中下水平的学生要求掌握,至于学有余力的学生,就要求掌握黑体和三会的白体单词,打三角形的只需要了解就可以。

相信大多数老师和我的感受相差不多,对于800个变成1500个毫无心理准备。

以前词汇少时,一星期教一次单词和听写一次就行,如今每个话题单词少的也要分两次教,多的则要分为三次教才行,当然听写也随之水涨船高,次数增多了,不这样做学生根本接受不了。

(二)所谓的“教无定法,教有良法”说明白些,其实就是依据学生具体情况而选择适当的教学方法。

以下是我课堂教学中较为常用的方法。

1音标教学法:七年级英语刚入门时,教师在字母教学法中应该融入音标教学,可以要求学生学会制作音标卡,并要求他们背诵48个国际音素。

姓名:丁君怡学号:2012125112 班级:英语1213 课程:英语词汇学引论英语词素的类型摘要:词素也叫语素,是语言中最小的而又具有意义的单元。

不同的分类方法可以将理据分为不同的类型。

依据语素能否单独出现的特性,语素大体上可分为两大类,分别为:自由词素,黏着词素。

依据词素的词汇的和语法的关系,词素可化分为词汇词素,语法词素。

关键字:词素,词素,分类,不同依据,不同类型一、依据词素能否单独出现自由词素自由词素是可以单独出现并能独立成词的词素。

也就是说,一个自由词素自身就是一个具有一定意义的单词。

比如,单词boy, girl, table, nation, faith等都是自由词素,因为他们单独出现时就表示一个单词,并具有意义,分别表示男孩,女孩,桌子,民族,忠诚。

像homework, airsick, and takeoff 这样的单词,home, work, air, sick, take, off都能单独出现并独自成词,它们拥有一个以上的自由词素,被称为复合词。

黏着词素黏着词素是不能作为一个词而单独出现的词素,也就是当它单独出现时,不能表示一个单词。

因此,他们不能单独出现,必须跟至少一个其他语素共同出现,这样的语素叫做粘着语素。

黏着词素大多是词缀。

例如:-s in dogs, -al in national, and dis- in disclose等,他们都不能单独出现,必须与其他词素一起出现。

一个英语单词可以拥有一个或多个黏着词素。

比如,单词unfaithful中-un与-ful ,都是黏着词素。

值得注意的是单词contain 与receive 都不仅仅只有一个黏着词素。

因为con, tain, re, ceive 都不能单独出现并独立成词。

二、依据词素词汇的和语法的关系词汇词素词汇词素是用来构成新的单词的词素。

可以构成复合词。

比如单词blackbird就是在black和bird这两个词汇词素的基础上创造的。

词汇学论文2篇

词汇学论文2篇

词汇学论文第一篇:词汇学及其研究方法词汇学是语言学的一个重要分支,研究词汇及其运用规律。

它对于理解和使用语言至关重要,并且在语言学、语言教学和语言处理等领域具有广泛的应用。

本文将介绍词汇学的定义、主要研究内容以及常见的研究方法。

首先,词汇学是研究词汇的科学。

词汇是构成语言的基本单位,是语言的基本组成部分。

词汇学包含对词汇的定义、分类和形成过程的研究。

词汇的定义可以从不同角度进行,如音、义、形态等。

词汇分类可以根据语法特点、语义特征以及语用功能等进行。

词汇的形成过程涉及词源、造词规则以及词汇的变化等方面。

其次,词汇学的研究内容包括词义、词形、词法、词汇关系等方面。

词义是指词汇所包含的意义,是词汇学研究的核心内容之一。

词义的研究涉及到语义、句法和语用等层面的分析。

词形是指词汇的外部形态特征,包括词根、词缀等。

词形的研究可以揭示词汇在形态上的规律和变化。

词法是指词汇的形成和使用规则,包括词汇的构词法和变位等方面的研究。

词汇关系是指词汇之间的内在联系,包括同义关系、反义关系、上下位关系、联想关系等。

最后,词汇学的研究方法多种多样。

常见的研究方法有词义分析、语料库分析、对比研究等。

词义分析是通过对词义进行细致的解剖和分类,来探索词义的内部结构和变化规律。

语料库分析是通过收集和分析大规模的语言数据来研究词汇的使用频率和语境特征,从而揭示词汇的语言规律和偏好。

对比研究是通过比较不同语言、不同语言阶段或者不同语言使用者之间的词汇差异,来揭示词汇的共性和个性。

总之,词汇学是研究词汇及其运用规律的科学,它对于理解和使用语言具有重要意义。

词汇学的研究方法多种多样,可以通过词义分析、语料库分析和对比研究等方法来揭示词汇的内在规律和外在特征。

对于语言学、语言教学和语言处理等领域来说,词汇学的研究成果具有重要的理论和实践价值。

第二篇:词汇学在语言教学中的应用词汇是语言的基本单位,掌握丰富的词汇量对于语言学习者来说非常重要。

词汇与语境研究的论文(大全五篇)

词汇与语境研究的论文(大全五篇)

词汇与语境研究的论文(大全五篇)第一篇:词汇与语境研究的论文摘要:语境意义包括语言语境意义、情景语境意义、文化语境意义、社会文化意义、联想意义等。

同时,词义还随着社会文化的发展变化而变化。

因此,词汇教学不能脱离于他们的使用环境,即语境。

拟就语境在词汇教学中的作用进行探讨。

关键词:语言语境意义;情景语境意义;文化语境意义;社会文化意义;联想意义引言词汇除了基本意义之外,还有丰富的语境意义。

一般来说,语境意义包括语言语境意义,情景语境意义;文化语境意义,社会文化意义,联想意义等。

同时,词义还随着社会文化的发展变化而变化。

因此,词汇教学不能脱离于他们的使用环境,即语境。

本文拟就语境在词汇教学中的作用进行探讨。

语境与词义的基本关系Geffrey Leech 说:“语境是语言交际中不能忽视的一个重要因素。

”这是因为语境对于正确理解词义,话语意义以及正确选择词语表达思想起着非常重要的作用。

可以说,对于一个词准确透彻的理解是依赖语境的帮助来实现的。

马林诺夫斯基把语境分为三类,即话语语境、情景语境和文化语境。

简单的说,话语语境是指字、词、句、段等的前后可帮助确定其意义的上下文。

情景语境是语篇指产生的环境。

文化语境是指某种语言赖以根植的民族里人们思想和行为准则的总和。

伦敦学派的核心人物物弗斯接受并发展了马林诺夫斯基的情景语境理论,他指出:情景语境不仅包括说出来的话,而且还包括说话人的面部表情、手势、身体的姿势,所有参与交谈的人以及这些人所处的那一部分环境。

关于语境与词义的关系,Firth说:“You shall know a word by the company it keeps。

”他认为在任何语言中,一定的词总是结伴出现。

他所讲的“结伴”关系,就是狭义上的语言语境。

“结伴”可以是搭配关系,前后文以及词与词之间的语境联系。

一个词的准确意义在这种语境(结伴)关系中充分体现出来。

语言学家Linda Taylor也说:“只能在词与词的相互联系中来理解掌握词义”。

例如:ea,ee,er,ir,ur,or分别能发[i:][:][:]等。

还有些固定的字母组合,例如:ing发[i],ly发[li],ty发[ti]和各种前缀、后缀,例如:a-,re-,un-,dis-,im-;-ed,-ing,-ly,-er,-or,-ful,-y等都有其比较固定的发音。

掌握了这些规则,记单词时就不必一个字母一个字母地记忆了。

二.字母变化记忆法英语单词中以某个单词为基础,加、减、换、调一个字母就成了另一个新单词。

具体方法如下:1.前面加字母。

例如:is/his,ear/near/hear,read/bread2.后面加字母。

例如:hear/heart,you/your,plane/planet3.中间加字母。

例如:though/through,tree/three,for/four4.减字母。

例如:she/he,close/lose,star/tstar5.换字母。

例如:book/look/cook,cake/lake/wake/make/take6.调字母(即改变字母顺序)。

例如:blow/bowl,sing/sign,from/form三.联想记忆法在日常生活中可以根据所处的环境,所见到、所摸到的事物,联想相关的英语单词。

例如:打球时联想到:ball,(play)basketball,(play)football,(play)volleyball,playground等等;吃饭时联想到:dining-room,(have)breakfast,(have)lunch,(have)supper等等;睡觉时联想到:bed,bedroom,gotobed,sleep,gotosleep,fallasleep等等。

一。

The Development of English VocabularyThere are about one million English words in all. English is also an international language in this society. You can see English words almost every where, even in non-English-spoken countries.How does English come into being? Why it has so many vocabularies? In the following passage, I will give you a general picture about these two questions. The English people are of a mixed blood. The early inhabitants of the island we now call England were Britons, but in fact all the races were the invaders came from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: one is Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish; another is the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization. Then at the beginning of the fifth century Britain was invaded by three tribes from the northern Europe: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three tribes merged into one people, and the three dialects they spoke naturally grew into a single language, the English language.But at first, the English word made up of only a small part of native words and some borrowed words. The native words were the core words of English. According to a kind of classification of language, English is classified as a Teutonic language, which is a Germanic language. To be more exact, English belongs to the low West Germanic branch of the Indo-European family. Because of the complex history of Briton, the language of English is of a mixed character. On one hand, it shares with West Germanic languages many common words and similar grammatical structures. On the other hand, more than half of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin and French. Besides, English has accepted words from other languages of the world in the course of its historical development.The history of English language is divided into three periods:1. the old English period ( from 450AD to 1150 AD )2. the middle English period ( from 1150AD to 1500AD )3. the modern English period ( from 1500AD up to now )As I mentioned above, in fact, that there is also a period we can call it thepre-old English period, which includes the Celts, the Scottish and Irish races and culture, and also Welsh race and culture were brought by the Celts. Then the Romans brought Latin alphabet and civilization to this land. After these two were the formation of the Anglo-Saxons people, which is the original English race and language.Old English consists mainly about the native language of Anglo-Saxons people. The period from 450AD to 1150AD is known as the old English period, and it isalso been called Anglo-Saxons period. It is described as the period of full inflections, since during most of this period the case endings of the noun, the adjective, and the conjugation of the verb were not weakened. Also during this period, when the Norman Conquest in 1066AD brought French to England, and much of the English vocabulary was replaced by words borrowed from French and Latin.Old English is a synthetic language. (There are two classes of languages in the world: synthetic and analytic. A synthetic language is one which shows the relation of words in a sentence largely by means of inflections. An analytic language is one which indicates the relation of words in a sentence by means of word order, prepositions or auxiliary verbs, rather than by inflections.) Old English nouns and adjectives have four cases: the nominative case, the genitive case, the dative case and the accusative case. Apart from these four cases, Latin nouns have the ablative and locative cases.Middle English period is from 1150AD to 1500AD. During this period the inflections which had begun to break down towards the end of the old English period, became greatly reduced, and it is known as the period of leveled inflections. The Norman Conquer was the cause of this change. The change of this period had a great effect on both grammar and vocabulary. In grammar English has changed from a highly inflected language to an analytic language. In this period many old English words were lost, but thousands of words borrowed from French and Latin appeared in the English vocabulary. French influence on the English vocabulary is much more direct and observable. The number of French words that came into English was very numerous. More than half of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin.Modern English period is from 1500 to the present. A large part of the original inflectional system has disappeared, and it is known as the period of lost inflections. We may divide this period into two parts: the early Modern English period and the Late Modern English period.The early modern English period extends from 1500AD to 1700AD. The chief influence of this time was the great humanistic movement of the Renaissance. In this period the study of the Latin and Greek classics was stressed, so the influence of Latin and Greek on English was great.The late modern English period started after 1700AD. The eighteenth century in England was a time of stabilizing and purifying the English language. The publication in 1755AD of A Dictionary of the English Language edited by Samuel Johnson was a typical example of consolidating and purifying the English language in this period. He set a standard for using English words in spelling, meaning and usage. In the eighteenth century French greatly influenced English. The number of French words in the period from 1650AD to 1800AD increased rapidly. Such as: ballet, cartoon, champagne, cohesion, dentist, patrol, publicity, routing, etc.Meanwhile the territorial expansion of the English empire in this period resulted in the expansion of the English vocabulary. Thus, there are many words flow into English vocabulary, which includes American Indian words, Mexican words, Peru words, Brazil words, India and African words.The nineteenth and twentieth centuries are a period of rapid expansion for the English vocabulary in the history of the English language. In this period many changes have taken place. Especially the great development of science and technology is reflected in the English vocabulary.Besides, the great changes in industry, in political and social lives, in sports and amusements all have contributed a great deal to the English vocabulary. Since the Second World War the English vocabulary has been affected powerfully by social, political, economic, especially scientific and technical changes. The English vocabulary not only changes, but also changes quickly in this period. Thousands of new words are added, existing words acquire new meaning and old words die out.Till now, the English vocabulary is still changing, some words come out and some die out. In a word, as society is constantly in a state of development, so is language. Society depends on language for its existence. As society develops new objects are created that require the invention of new words and expressions. Therefore, the changing of English vocabulary is an endless changing process.Bibliography:陆国强,published in 1999,Modern English Lexicology (new edition)Adams, Valerie, published in1982,An Introduction to Modern English Word-formation戴炜栋,published in 2002,A New Concise Course on Linguistics for Students of English朱永涛,published in 1997,The Society and Culture of Major English-speaking Countries林承璋,published in 1987,An Introduction to English Lexicology也可以写广告中的词汇特点:The Lexical Features of Advertisement on NewspaperNewspapers are generally the cheapest way to reach a mess audiences,and the timing is fast.Adverments make an important part on English Newspaper.We live in a world of advertising.Advertising provides a valuable service to society and its members,because it defines for consumers the meaning and the role of products,services and institutions.Newspaper advertisements’ main text use words for the spread of vector,and must must be simple eye-catching,because of the layout of resources.To some extent,thenewspaper advertisements content mainly rely on language toexpress.Advertising language ,playing a role of communication and persuasion,has developed its own features.Naturally,advertisements in English have become an important means of communicatingideas,demoinstrating a variety of linguistic features of its own.The present study discusses some lexical features of English advertisement texts.ⅠChoose the simple wordsAdvertiment language must be easily understood terms so that readers can get information as soon as possible.In advertising,simple words can win the consumers by their exact,effective expression an d a kind of closeness.E.g.①Take time.Any time.Continuous using two “time” can make the language simple and clear.②Once tasted,always loved.The article should be clearly and concisly understood in order to arouse the interest of customers on food which make them mouth-watering.③My goodness!My Guinness!Common language facilitate people to memory and speak,this reproduce the scene of people driking the Guinness beer which is full of praise.ⅡFrequent Employment of Simple VerbsSimple verbs are frequently employed in English advertisements, which is an obvious wording characteristics of English advertising texts.Verbs are the most important part of language.It is a prominent feature in adervertising english that verbs are regularly used for the ultimate goal of advertising ,which is to enable consumers to buy their goods.So in terms of the using of words,dynamic and strong word will produce a better feeling effects.Verbs can be used to “touch”the consumer's heart.In this way,they will have impules to buy the goods.E.g.①Drink Coca-Cola.②I want you to sponsor a Rice Paddy Baby.③For incredible speed and accuracy, try the Minolta 7000, the world’s first body-integral auto-focus SLR.In the above examples, “try”,”sponsor” and “drink”are to fulfill the “get action” requirement seem more euphemistic and even more attractive.④Get noticed. Get results.⑤Feel the Hyatt Touch.⑥Send today for your free sample, and try the new flavor.After reading the above ads, we feel encouraged to take buying action or make repeated purchases. The active voice doesn’t force people to take the passive action while it makes people feel that they do something of their own accord. Ⅲ. Adjectives⑴It is hard for us to think of any really persuasive message without the use of descriptive and vivid adjectives. Copywriters like to use a large number of adjectives not only to describe the quality and features of the products or services, but to a great extent to praise and beautify them.E.g.For people who care about their bodies, Dairy Farm brings fresh skimmed milk. With almost no fat, it keeps your body fit inside and outside, fresh skimmed milk. Fresh Dairy Farm.The adjective “fresh” in Example appears three times to emphasize how fresh the product is, making its quality particularly attra ctive. And the adjective “fit” points out the remarkable function of the product.⑵The copywriter tends to select the superlative or comparative forms of adjectives that carry positive meanings so as to make a comparison and stress the wonderful qualities of the advertised product. E.g.①Using Dove, I do feel 20 years younger.“Younger” just emphasizes the magic power of the product.②Discover the season’s newest splendor.The word “newest” , which is an advertisement of a kind of perfume, means “fashionable to the highest degree”.Of course, the advertisers must make sure that the advertised goods or services are actually the best in the same category.Sometimes people do not know how superb the goods or the services are in quality. Anyhow, people tend to believe what is said in advertisements.Ⅳ.New Words Constantly AppearIn order to attract people’s attention, copywriters like to create some new words which are more active. The new words are mainly used for truthfulness, humor or emphasis in English advertising texts. E.g.①Surefit Shoe Ltd.“Surefit” is a new word which makes consurms thing of a sentence”Surely to fit your feet”.That means the shoes are fot for your feet.②Give a Timex to all, and to all a good time.The well-known watch brand “Timex” is a variation of “Time + Excellent”, wh ich persuasively shows the merit of the watch brand. Thus, brand names get and retain a unique image.Ⅴ.PronousPronouns of the first and second person: we, I and you outnumber the other pronouns in advertisements. It is because that you, we and I help create a friend-like intimate atmosphere to move and persuade the audience. The audience will easily accept a product, a service or an idea as if a good friend recommended them.Sometimes,we use infinitive pronouns,such asall,everyone,none,nothing and so on in order to feflect the extraordinarycharacteristics of a particular commodity or it has been spending and receiving most of people.E.g.Our finest time.It is about a well-known red wine.A pair of lover drink together at romantic atmosphere.Ⅵ.Compound wordsA compound word is often a noun or an adjective made up of two or more words which are frequently used to express more information in limited space. Especially,compound adjectives are often seen in advertisements.E.g.Kodak Single-use-came ras take pictures where you wouldn’t normally take your camera.It used the compound word skillfully and describe the capability and function of the product incisively and vividly.Now we have briefly discussed the six wording characteristics of English advertisements. We have got to know that simple verbs and concise adjectives are very important words in English advertising, and that new words which are attractively used to stress the new and special qualities or functions of the advertised products. Language in advertising presents us with a colorful, interesting and wonderful world in order to serve the purpose of attracting advertising readers. Of course, besides the above features discussed in this study, there is much more for further study in advertising language.Email:********************。

On native words and borrowings in the English vocabulary AbstractAs time goes on, great changes have taken place in native English vocabulary. In addition to the inner evolvement of itself, it has also absorbed more and more borrowings from other culture. This essay will focus on exactly this subject. The main parts in this paper are: ①to exhibit the basic conceptions regarding native words and borrowings in English vocabulary;②to discuss the major features of English native words;③to discuss the major sources and features of borrowings in the English vocabulary; ④to explore the interrelation between the native and foreign elements in the English vocabulary.⑤to make a conclusion of the whole paper.Key words native words borrowings English vocabularyChapter 1 Basic Information about Native Words in English Vocabulary1、1 Definition of Native WordsWe should first make clear the exact definition of native words or borrowings no matter what we are going to discuss about them next.According to some dictionaries and books of lexicology, native words refer to words which originated in the region where it is used. To put it simple, native words are words that are not foreign or imported.Specifically, as for English vocabulary, native words are words brought to Britain in the fifth century by the Germanic tribes, namely the angles, the Saxons, and the jutes, thus known as Anglo-Saxon words. Though words of Anglo-Saxon origin are small in number, they stand at the core of the language.1、2 Features of native wordsGenerally speaking, native words have these features below:First, they are neutral in style. That is to say, native words are usually neither formal nor informal. This is because native words denote the commonest things in human society. Almost all the people use them in all places, on all occasions, and at all times. Take the word begin and commerce for instance. Begin is a typical native word and commerce is a borrowing.Obviously, we use begin neither formally or informally. However we use commerce mostly in formal occasions.Second, they are frequent in use. Native words are the foudation and the core of the English vocabulary. Native words are most frequently used in everyday speech and writing. The percentage of native words in use reaches usually as high as 70 to 90 percent.Third, in structure they are mostly monosyllabic words.Fourth, in meaning they express the fundamental concepts dealing with everyday objects and things. At the same time, they are highly polysemic words, that is, they have many meanings.Fifth, in grammar they include most parts of speech.Sixth, they are of collocability. Many commonly-used expressions and phrases in English are made up of native words.Seventh, they are good at forming word in modern English. Native words in modern English can form a great number of derivatives. For example, watery and waterless are both the derivatives of water. Native words in modern English can also form many compounds. For example, the word fire can form many compounds, such as fireman, firefighter, fireplace and firebrand and so on.Chapter 2 Basic Information about Borrowings in English Vocabulary2.1 Definition and Main Features of BorrowingsBorrowings, or borrowed words, or loan words, refers to the words taken from foreign language.As a language which owns the most speakers, English has adopted words from almost all other major languages in the world. As is stated in Encyclopedia Americana, “the English language has vast debts. In any dictionary some 80% of the entries are borrowed”. Thus the English language is called “a heavy borrower”. Here “borrowing” is not real “borrowing”. It has nothing to with returning. It’s merely a metaphor stands for the foreign words from a different culture. But not all foreign words do become borrowings. If they fall out of use before they become widespread, they do not reach the borrowing stage.Through analyzing the borrowings in English vocabulary, we can find some common features among them.First, borrowings in English vocabulary usually do not have relative native words with the same meaning with them. When this is the case, certain concepts, ideas or objects of the “lending”language community are new to the people of the “borrowing” language community. So instead of making up a complete whole new word for the idea or object they simply borrow the word from the people they came in contact with.Second, borrowings are usually words that refer to exotic ideas, concepts or objects. An example of this is how names of animals that do not inherently come from Great Britain are often loanwords in English. The name of the animal is borrowed from the language that is spoken in the country in which the animal originally comes from or lives in.Third, most of the borrowings in English vocabulary are nouns. Nouns and lexical words in general, are borrowed more frequently than grammatical words. An example of this is the word “bagel”. The word was adopted from the Yiddish language, since the Jews were those who introduced bagels to the rest of the world. Many other languages, including English, therefore borrowed the word “bagel”.Fourth, borrowings are often even more widely known than native words since their borrowing served a certain purpose, for example to provide a name for a new invention. An example of such a borrowing is “pizza”. Since the Italians were those who introduce pizzas in England, the England borrowed the word from them.2.2 Major Sources of Borrowings in the English VocabularyTo discuss this question, we should first get to know the exact meaning of “source of borrowing”. Here it refers to the place where the borrowing was borrowed.Generally speaking, Latin, Greek and French are the three languages that have contributed most to the English language. Other foreign languages that have contributed words are of less importance.That is to say, Latin, Greek and French are the three main sources where borrowings in English vocanulary come from. Apart from the three, Scandinavian, Celtic, Dutch, Low German, Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, Spanish are also the main sources of borrowings in English vocabulary. Some examples of borrowings in English voabulary are as follows.Among those borrowings that come from the Germanic are the words father, mother, brother, man, wife, tree, grass, summer, winter, bring, come, get, hear, meet, and think and so on.Such words as constitution, president, parliament, congress, city, place, , diner, café, liberty, veracity, carpenter, draper, haberdasher, mason, painter, plumber, and tailor are from France.English has acquired many words from Spanish. Some of these have been borrowed directly: cigar, armada, guerrilla, matador, mosquito, and tornado.Borrowings from Latin have been especially numerous. Many of these represent combinations of Latin words: alnutrition, transfer, circumference, supernatural, submarine, suburb, substantial, contemporary, multilingual, conjunction, compassion, and hundreds more.Borrowings from Greek are heavy in the sciences and technology. In addition to macro and micro, often-used prefixes include poly and tele. Among the well-known English words from Greek are alphabet, geometry, geology, photography, psychology, pathology, biology, philosophy, telephone, logistics, and metamorphosis.Among the common English words that have come from Arabic are: alcohol, alchemy, algebra, alkali, almanac, arsenal, assassin, cipher, elixir, mosque, naphtha, sugar, syrup, zenith, and zero.Borrowings in English vocabulary are so numerous that they can not be listed one by one The above are the language sources that English vocabulary comes from. Below are the specific sources or we’d better say specific channels that borrowings come from. Generally speaking, English vocabulary mainly comes through conquest, commerce, travel, literature, mass media or some other ways. In other words, those borrowings have come into English vocabulary through the spoken word, on one hand, and through the written word, on the other hand.Chapter 3 The Interrelation between the Native and Foreign Elements in the English VocabularyIn fact, no language has so complex and varied a vocabulary as English. The English vocabulary has been adopted from more than fifty languages. As a cosmopolitan language English has no rival. That is to say, up to seventy percent of the English vocabulary consists of loan-words, and only thirty percent are native words.In spite of large-scale borrowings, it is the native words that form the basic stock of modern English vocabulary. And what’s more, native words are used in everyday speech and writing more frequently than borrowed words.Generally, the longer a borrowed word has been in the language, and the more frequently it is used, the more it resembles the native words of the language.In the course of historical development borrowed words have extended the total number of the English vocabulary, and Latin or Greek roots, prefixes or suffixes have changed the structures of English words.Chapter 4 conclusionTo sum up, we can say that English vocabulary has been marked by the word ‘borrowing’. Since early times, English has been in contact with other languages such as Greek, French, Scandinavian, Celtic, Dutch, Low German, Arabic, Persian, Portuguese, and Spanish and so on, and as a result, English vocabulary has been riched under the influence of other languages. It is native words and borrowings together help strengthen the English vocabulary and make it a very open and the most poewrful language in the modern world.Bibliography参考书目??/~kemmer/Words04/structure/borrowed.htmlhttp://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/SLF/EngluVglSW/grzega1032.pdfhttp://dooku.miun.se/engelska/englishC/C-essay/VT06/Final/NicoleFerm.pdf/~kemmer/Words/loanwords.html/media_file/200708/huashi/0809/cihuix/web/unit02.htm。

英语的发展这学期我们学习了词汇学这门课程,从这门课程的学习中我了解了英语发展的历史。

从这门课的学习中,我知道了英语语言的历史发展可以分为三个阶段,分别是:古英语(Old English),中世纪英语(Middle English)和现代英语(Modern English)。

(一) 古英语时期 (Old English Period, 450-1150)。

有记载的英语语言起始于449年,当时包括央格鲁-撒克逊人(Angles-Saxons)在内的德国部落入侵大不列颠。

他们把原来的居民凯尔特人(the Celts)赶到不列颠的北部和西部角落。

凯尔特人的领袖King Arthur带领部队勇敢作战,英勇抗击德国入侵者。

这之后在不列颠岛上央格鲁人、撒克逊人和一些德国部落都说着各自的英语。

尽管85%的古英语词汇现在已经不再使用,但一些常用词汇如:child, foot, house, man, sun等等还是保留下来。

和现代英语相比,古英语中的外来词很少,但派生词缀较多。

古英语中还有较多描述性的复合词。

如“音乐”是earsport;“世界”是age of man。

在著名的英雄史诗《贝奥武甫》(Beowulf)中对此有详尽描述。

这是最早居住在不列颠(Britain) 的民族塞尔特人所说的塞尔特语(Celtic),他们虽然最早到英国,但留下来的事迹不多,现在威尔斯、苏格兰高地仍有人说塞尔特语。

公元前43年凯撒大帝征服不列颠,罗马人统治不列颠人,同时也将当时罗马人使用的拉丁语传入,但并未被一般老百姓采用。

公元410年罗马帝国自英国撤离,这时,来自英国北方的皮刺人 (Picts) 和苏格兰人分别从南部和西北侵扰,不列颠无力抵抗,只好求救于往昔经常困扰罗马军队的日耳曼人。

根据大英民族编年史的记载,日耳曼民族于公元449年在英格兰登陆,将日耳曼语带到英国,而发展成现在的英语,因此,英语是属于印欧语系Indo-European 日耳曼语族的语言。

787年,来自丹麦及斯堪的纳维亚地区的北欧海盗(the Vikings)陆续进入英国。

在之后的三百年里,他们袭击、侵占了大部分的英格兰。

北欧海盗对英语语言的影响意义是深远的,是他们带来了代词they、their、them等;/g/ /k/的发音;甚至包括husband、window这样的词。

古英语无论从发音还是拼写上都与现代英语大相径庭。

(二) 中古英语时期 (Middle English Period, 1150-1500): 始于亨利二世王朝,止于亨利八世王朝。

英语在公元十一世纪时已发展成一种成熟的语言,但往后三百年却没有成为英格兰的官方语言,因为公元一O六六年,来自法国的征服者威廉一世(William the Conqueror) 所领导的诺曼人在战役中击败英军,从此,法语成为英国上流社会的语言,这些法语借字几乎涵盖了所有上流社会的生活用语和抽象概念。

1066年的诺曼底征服事件在英语语言发展史上是一个标志性的转折点。

在这年,威廉带领军队从法国诺曼底省出发,穿过英吉利海峡,想在英国称王并在伦敦成立一个法国法庭。

之后的近三百年里,法语一直是英国的官方语言,成为统治阶级用语,而平民百姓说的英语被认为市低等语言。

到1300年左右,法语的使用开始减少。

到14世纪末期,英语又重新成为官方语言。

乔叟写于14世纪末期的《坎特伯雷故事集》(Canterbury Tales)反映了政治、经济、社会等方面的变化对英语语言的影响。

在近四百年时间里,诺曼人给英语带来了近一万的外来词,深深影响了英国人的社会和生活。

英语语言在这一时期借用了较多法语中的派生词缀,如-able, -ess。

当然也有一些拉丁语直接进入英语,而且多用于书面语。

由于贸易的发展,还有少量的荷兰词语在这时期融入英语中。

中世纪英语的语音变化较少,但句法上已经形成了固定的词序,并且扩展了情态动词、助词结构。

不规则动词越来越少,很多不规则动词的过去式和过去分词也趋向规则化。

到1000年,语言使用中已确定了-s作为名词复数的构成,而古英语中曾以-en结尾表示复数便渐渐不再被人们使用。

(三) 现代英语时期 (Modern English Period, 1500--):公元一五OO年至一七OO年为早期现代英语 ( Early Modern English), 一七OO年至今是近代英语时期 ( Late Modern English)。

在十五世纪时,英国由于内忧外患国事衰弱,致使文艺凋萎,词汇与以前相比并无多大进展。

但是到了十六世纪之后,因为 (1) 文艺复兴 (Renaissance) 引起英国人对拉丁和希腊古典名著的研究,对英语产生极大的影响。

(2) 哥伦布等探险家深入前人未到过的地方,为英语带来了新词汇。

(3) 英国打败西班牙的无敌舰队,逐渐成为海上霸主,扩增了殖民地,不仅扩展了英语的版图,也将各殖民地人民的词汇收纳入英语中。

十八世纪是开拓新大陆、扩展贸易及传播文化的时代,有关商业活动、政治发展、美洲语言等的词汇不断地流入英语。

由此可见,英语是一种构造复杂的语言,英语词源学告诉我们,克利特语,古挪威语,古低地德语,古高地德语,德语,影响了昂格鲁撒克逊语,发展成中古英语,进一步发展成现代英语;而拉丁语的晚期拉丁,平民拉丁和中期拉丁对现代法语,现代意大利语,现代西班牙语,现代葡萄牙语都发生过巨大的影响,这四种语言都不同程度地进入英语。

可以完全有理由说,英语是各民族语言的大融合。

由于各个民族的审美情趣的差异,字母在表达象形意义时也就不是单一的。

象形文字在发展了以后就不光是对实际物体的简单造型,他还会通过引申暗示表示更为深层的意义。

如汉字“大”,原来只表示一个人站立平举双手,这是物象,后来就用它来表示体积面积大的东西,这就是形象,再后来引申为精神的东西,如伟大,宏大,这就是抽象。

这种象形字母我们习惯上称为物符字母,形符字母和意符字母。

1476年,卡克斯顿(William Caxton)在英国开始引进印刷机的使用,标志着中世纪英语转入现代英语阶段。

由于读物数量的增多,范围扩大,词汇拼写开始趋向规范化,标准化,固定化。

这样一来,读音和拼写之间的差距扩大。

另外,随着探险、殖民、以及贸易等各方面走向世界化,给现代英语带来一定的冲击。

超过50种语言的外来词涌入英语,如阿拉伯语,法语,德语,荷兰语,俄语,希伯来语,西班牙语,汉语,意大利语等。

为体现英语语言的威望,文艺复兴时期(Renaissance)有更多的拉丁和希腊词汇加入英语,象congratulate, democracy, education等来自拉丁语;catastrophe, encyclopedia, thermometer 来自希腊语。

一些现代希腊语、拉丁语中的科技用语如aspirin, vaccinate也被当作英语使用。

另外,一些外来语(如criterion, focus)仍保留了原来词语的复数形式。

还有一些更保留了当时的拼写和发音。

打开英语词典来看,大约百分之八十的词都是从其它语言借来的,绝大多数的外来语来自拉丁语,其中一半以上是通过法语借来的,另外省大量的词直接或间接来自希腊语。

相当多的词来自斯堪的纳维亚语。

还有一些词来自意大利语、的西班牙语、的葡萄牙语和荷兰语。

少数词来自世界各地的其它语种。

古英语的词汇约有五万到六万个词,而现代英语大词典收的词条足有六十五万到七十五万之多。

但是英语最常用的词仍是英语的本族语,其中最常用的词有九个,它们是:and,have、的of,the,to,will和you。

大量的外来语丰富了英语词汇,使英语变得极端灵活,变化多端。

英语的句子结构比较简单、的自然,合乎逻辑思维的自然顺序,也就是说,英语的词序word order比较自然。

英语不象德语或俄语,句子结构没有那么复杂,词序没有那么多的倒装现象(inversion)。

英语的“语法”性别和“天然”性别相一致,不象俄语、的拉丁语那样把所有的名词,按照“语法”性别,都分为阳性、的阴性和中性。

这样,现代英语就免去了名词和形容词的复杂的格的变化,而德语和俄语仍大量地保存着这些变化。

所以说,英语的第一个持点就是它的结构比较简单,因此比较明白、的易学。

英语词缀体系的历史演变英语词缀体系的形成可以追溯到古英语时期。

当时最重要的构词方法是复合法(compounding),据统计,在史诗《贝奥伍尔夫》(Beowulf)三千行诗句中,竟有一千零六十九个复合词。

有些复合词中不重读的部分,渐渐失去独立地位,而演变为词缀,当时共有二十四个名词后缀和十五个形容词后缀,如:-dom, -hood, -ship, -ness, -th, -ful, -ish等。

到了中古英语时期,发生了诺曼征服,诺曼法语一度成为英国统治阶级的语言,大批法语词涌入英语,改变了英语运用复合法作为创造新词的主要手段。

随着众多的法语词被借入英语,一批法语和拉丁语的词缀被英语化,成为英语中构词的重要素材,如前缀dis-, en-, inter-, mal-, non-, pre-, semi-, sub-等,后缀-able, -acy, -age, -ician, -ise/-ize等。

但与此同时,有些英语本族语的词缀反而废弃不用了。

这一时期的英语词缀体系得到极大的发展和完善,派生构词的地位也得到进一步的确立。

及至现代英语时期,文艺复兴运动、工业革命、英帝国向外扩张又使得英语大量借用法语、拉丁语、希腊语、意大利语以及几乎世界各地语言中的词汇,尤其是希腊语中的词根和词缀逐渐产生出与英语本族语的词根和词缀相结合的孳生力。

至此,英语基本完成了词缀体系的全部工作。

从上述历史的演变我们可以看出,英语大量借入或同化其它语言的词缀以丰富自身的词汇,这固然是一件好事,但由于历史发展的迅疾和缺乏借词的规范化,导致泥沙俱下,其它语言中不合理的成分也随着借词渗入英语词汇。

这是民族语历史发展的必然,是不以人们意志为转移的。

总的来说,英语属于印欧语系当中的日耳曼语文。

印欧语系是全世界最大的语系之一,属于这个语系的语言地理分布最广,说这些语言的人数最多。

早在1786年英国焚文学者咸廉·琼斯爵士(55T william J。

nes)发表了他在语言学领域里的惊人的发现:梵文和希腊语、的拉丁语是同源的。

这三种语言都是从原始的印欧语演变来的。

自公元5世纪英语被带到不列颠起,到16世纪末17世纪初,世界上说英语的只有英格兰人、威尔士人和苏格兰人。

时至今日,有4亿人以英语为母语,有2.5亿人以它为第二语言,有10亿人在学英语,到2050年世界上将有三分之一的人口通晓英语。

由此可见,英语的影响在不断的扩大,学习英语也变得越来越必要。

所以在以后的学习中,我们应该认真学习英语,掌握其中的技巧,这样才能更好的迎接新世纪的挑战,去努力为我们的国家尽一份力。
