Phonetics has three sub-branches :acoustic phonetics ,auditory phonetics and articulatory phonetics .语音学有三种分支：声学语音学，听觉语音学和发音语音学。

The vocal tract （发音系统）can be divided into two parts: the oral cavity and nasal cavity .发音系统可以被分成两种：口腔和鼻腔。

A consonant is a speech sound in which the air-stream from the lungs is either completely blocked or partially or where the opening is so narrow that the air escapes with audible frication .A vowel is usually produced with vibration of the vocal cords.辅音是发音的时候从肺部呼出的气流要么是全部阻塞或者部分阻塞，出气口过窄以至于可以听到摩擦的声音。一个元音一般是通过声带振动所形成的。

第四章音位学填空题或选择题

English phonology investigates the sound system of English .It is different from English phonetics, which is concerned with the speech sounds that occurs in the English language .English phonology studies the abstract aspects :the functions of sounds and the sound combination patterns.英语音位学研究的是英语的语音系统。它不同于英语语音学，英语语音学关注的是英语语言中所发生的语音现象。英语音位学研究是抽象的方面：声音的功能和声音的组合方式。

A phoneme is defined as a minimal distinctive unit in the sound system of a language .音位被

定义成在语言的发音系统中最小的具有甄别性特征的单位。（2009年10月考题）

Two forms are a minimal pair when they meet three conditions :1)they are different in meaning ,2) they differ only in one sound segment ,3)the different sounds occur in the same position in the strings .When a group of words meet all the three conditions ,they are called a minimal set.当两种形式符合三种条件他们就是最小对立体或者最小对立对，第一，他们的意思不一样，第二，他们只有一个语音切分不一样，第三，不同的语音在同一个位置。当一组单词满足这三个条件，他们就是最小对立集。

There are three types of distribution :contrastive distribution ,complementary distribution and free variation .英语中有三种分布，对比分布，互补分布和自由变异。(2010年1月考题)

If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of one sound for another brings about a change of meaning they are in contrastive distribution .如果两个或者更多的音在同一种环境下能够发生，并且一个语音代替另一个语音会产生意义的改变，他们就是对比分布。

If two or more sounds never appear in the same environment ,they are said to be in complementary distribution .如果两个或者更多的音从不会在同一种环境下发生，他们就是互补分布。（2009年10月考题）

If two sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of one sound for the other does not cause a change of meaning ,then they are said to be in free variation .如果两个音能在同一环境下发生，并且一个语音代替另一个不会导致意义的改变，那么他们就是自由变异。The distinctive features are the features that can contrast words .甄别性特征或者区别性特征是能够区别单词的特征。

Distinctive features are used to describe phonemes ,while phonetic features（语音特征）are used to describe their allophones .区别性特征是用来描述音位的，而语音特征是用来描述他们的音位变体的。

The distinctive features which can only have an effect on one sound segment are called segmental features. 只对一种声音切分有影响的区别性特征被称为切分特征。（2009年10月考题）The distinctive features that can affect more than one sound segment and can also contrast meaning are called suprasegmental features .There are three kinds of them: stress ,intonation and juncture .能够影响的不止一个语音切分，而且能区别意义的区别性特征被称为超切分特征。超切分特征有三种，重音，音调和连音或者音渡。

The position of stress can bring about a change of meaning in a word.。重音的位置会导致单词意义的变化。

Tone languages are languages that use pitch to contrast meaning at word level ,whereas intonation languages are languages that use pitch to distinguish different meanings at phrase level or sentence level .声调语言是在单词的水平上用音高来区别意义的语言，然而语调语言是在短语或者句子的水平上用音高来区别不同意义的语言。

Juncture refers to the phonetic boundary features that may mark grammatical units such as word and clause .连音是指能够表示诸如单词和从句等语法单位的语音分界特征。（2009年10月考题）

If we are interested in the phonetic units of a word, the resulting transcription is broad , if we are only interested in its distinctive features ,the resulting transcription is narrow .如果我们对一个单词的语音单位感兴趣，那么音标就是宽式的，如果我们只对它的区别性特征感兴趣，那么音标就是严式的。

The function of phonological rules is to change a phonemic transcription（音位音标）into its

phonetic transcription （语音音标）.音位规则的功能是将音位音标改变为语音音标。

第五章形态学填空题或选择题

Semantically ,morphemes can be grouped into roots and affixes .从语义上来讲，词素可以分成词根和词缀。

Morphology is a science that examines word formation and the internal structure of words.形态学是一门研究单词的构成和单词的内在结构的科学。

A morpheme is defined as a minimal meaningful unit in the grammatical system of a language .词素被定义为语言的语法体系中最小的意义单位。（2009年10月考题）

Structurally ,morphemes fall into two kinds : free morphemes and bound morphemes .从结构上来讲，词素分为两种：自由词素和黏附词素。

The root is the most important part of a word that carries the principal meaning .词根是一个带有主要意义的单词中最重要的部分。

Affixes are lexically dependent on roots and do not convey the fundamental meaning of words.词缀在词义上是依赖词根的，不表达单词的重要意思。

Free morphemes are those that can stand by themselves as individual words.自由词素是那些能够独立作为单词存在的词素。

Bound morphemes are never found alone as words ,but are always joined with other morphemes.黏附词素是不能够独立作为单词存在的，总是和其它词素合在一起。（09年10月考题）(2010年1月考题)

In terms of position , we may divide affixes into prefixes and suffixes and infixes .就位置而言，我们可以把词缀分为前缀，后缀和中缀。(2010年1月考题)

According to function, we can classify affixes into inflectional affixes and derivational affixes . 根据功能，我们能将词缀分成屈折词缀和派生词缀。

Morphs are related to morphemes in general ,while allomorphs（语素变体）are always related to a specific morpheme.语子或形素与整体的语素有关，而语素变体总是跟某一特定的语素有关。(2010年1月考题)

If two or more morphs are semantically identical and also in complementary distribution ,they are said to be in allomorphs of the same morpheme.如果两个或更多的语子或形素在语义上是一样的而且处于互补性分布，他们就是同一语素的语素变体。（2009年10月考题）

A morph that has form but no meaning is called a empty morph while a morph that has meaning but no form is called a zero morph .具有形式但是没有意义的语子或形素被称为空语子。而具有意义但是没有形式的语子或形素被称为零语子。

There are two kinds of relations between the morphemes within a word: linear order and hierarchical order .在一个单词的语素之间存在两种关系：线性结构和层次结构。

In the IC Analysis of a word , the forms at the bottom of the tree-branch diagram are called ultimate constituents ,which are individual morphemes and therefore can not be further divided into smaller parts.在一个单词的直接成分分析中，在树形图底部的形式被称为最终成分，他们是独立的语素，因此不能再拆成更小的部分。（2009年10月考题）

All the forms in a tree-branch diagram, except the word itself at the top, are the constituents of the word.在树形图的所有形式中，除了顶部的单词本身，都是单词的成分。(2010年1月考题)

The constituents which are involved directly in forming a larger constituent are called the

immediate constituents /ICs of the larger form.涉及直接形成一个更大成分的成分叫做直接成分。

Morphological rules are the rules that determine how morphemes are combined to form new words.形态学规则是指决定词素是如何组合形成新的单词的规则。

When a new word is formed by putting an affix to the base ,the process involved is called affixation . 当一个新单词是通过添加一个词缀到词基上形成的，所涉及的过程被称为词缀法。

Free morphemes can be further grouped into lexical morphemes and functional morphemes .自由语素可以进一步分成词汇语素和功能语素。

Generally ,affixation in English may be further divided into two types : prefixation and suffixation . 一般而言，在英文中词缀法可以进一步分为两种：前缀法和后缀法。

Some new words are created simply by changing their parts of speech .The process involved is called conversion .一些新单词只是通过改变他们的词性而创造的，这种过程被称为转类法。If two or more separate words are conjoined to produce a form which is used as a single word, the combining process is known as compounding .如果两个或者更多的独立单词合在一起形成可以被作为一个单独的单词而使用的形式，这种合并的过程就是复合法。(2010年1月考题) Blending is a process in which a compound is made by deleting and combining parts of two words.混合法是一种通过删除或者合并两个单词的部分而构成一个复合词的过程。（2009年10月考题）

Clipping refers to the process whereby a word is shortened without a change in the meaning and in the part of speech.略写法或者截短法指的是不改变意思和词性而将一个单词加以简略的构词过程。

Acronymy is the process by which words are formed by putting the initial letters of several words together .首字母缩略法是指通过把许多单词的首字母合并而构成新词的过程。

By back-formation , we delete a suffix from an apparently complex form instead of adding a suffix. It may be regarded as the opposite case of suffixation.通过逆序造词法或者逆生法，我门删除掉一个复杂形式的后缀而不是添加后缀。它可以被认为是后缀法的反过程。Inflectional affixes serve to indicate grammatical relations, such as number ,gender ,tense ,aspect ,case and degree. 屈折词缀或者屈折词素，表现的是语法关系，如数、性、时态、态、格和级。(2010年1月考题)

第六章句法学填空题或选择题

Sentences can be studied in two ways: statically we make structural descriptions of sentences to illustrate the parts of sentences and the relationships among them:; dynamically , we examine the process by which sentences are generated by syntactic rules.句子可以用两种方式研究：静态而言，我们作出句子的结构描述来表明句子的部分和它们之间的关系。动态而言，我们检验用句法规则构造句子的过程。（2009年10月考题）

Syntax is a science that is concerned with how words are combined to form phrases and how phrases are combined by rules to form sentences. 句法学指的是研究单词是如何构成短语以及短语是如何通过规则组合形成句子的。

The sequential /syntagmatic relation refers to the linear ordering of the words and the phrases within a sentence .序列关系或者横组合关系指的是在一个句子中单词和短语的线性次序。The substitutional /paradigmatic relation is a kind of relation between linguistic forms in a sentence and linguistic forms outside the sentence . 替代关系或者纵聚合关系是句子中语言形

式和句子外语言形式之间的一种关系。（2009年10月考题）

The linguistic forms that have substitutional /paradigmatic relations belong to the same syntactic category（句法类型，句法范畴）.有替代关系或者纵聚合关系的语言形式属于同一种句法类型或句法范畴。(2010年1月考题)

Syntactic categories can be further divided into two groups : lexical category（词汇范畴）,such as Noun and Verb ; non-lexical category ,such as Sentence ,Noun Phrase and V erb Phrase.句法类型可以进一步分成两种：词汇范畴，比如名词和动词。非词汇范畴，比如句子、名词短语和动词短语。

The hierarchical relation（等级关系）shows us the inner layering of sentences . 等级关系为我们表明了句子的内部层次。

In a hierarchical structure diagram of a sentence ,there are three distinct levels or hierarchies : sentence level which is the highest ; word level which is the lowest ; phrase level which is in between . 在一个句子层次结构图中，有三种明显的层次或者等级，最高的句子层次，最低的单词层次和处于中间的短语层次。

In a hierarchical structure diagram of a sentence ,the forms at the word-level are ultimate constituents of the sentence ;the forms at the word-level and the phrase-level are the constituents of the sentence ;the constituents connected by the two lines that are branching from the same point are called the immediate constituents of the form above that point .在一个句子的层次结构图中，位于单词层次的形式是句子的最终成分，位于单词层次和短语层次的形式是句子的成分，由同一点两条线连接的成分叫做直接成分。(2010年1月考题)

The same phrase or sentence may have two or more interpretation depending on the hierarchical arrangement of its constituents .Such a case is called structural ambiguity.（结构歧义）同一个短语或者句子可能有两种或者更多的解释，这取决于短语或句子成分的层次安排，这种例子被称为结构歧义。

Each branching point in a phrase marker （短语标记法）is called a node .在短语标记法中的每一个分叉点叫做结点。

TG Grammar （转换生成语法）claims that the static study of sentences is only concerned with one level of structure ,i.e , surface structure ,but the dynamic study of sentences deals with two levels of structure :both surface structure and deep structure .转换生成语法强调句子的静态研究只涉及一种结构层次即表层结构，但是句子的动态研究涉及两种结构层次，即表层结构和深层结构。

TG Grammar has assumed that to generate sentences ,we start with deep structures and then transform them into surface structures . 转换生成语法认为为了构造句子，我们首先以深层结构开始，然后将它们转换成表层结构。(2010年1月考题)

Deep structures are generated by PS rules ,and surface structures are derived from their deep structures by T- rules .深层结构是由短语结构规则构成的，而表层结构通过转换规则从深层结构而来的。（2009年10月考题）

A surface structure corresponds most closely to the linear arrangement of words as they are pronounced . 表层结构最符合单词的线性排列。

A deep structure corresponds most closely to the meaningful grouping of words.深层结构最符合单词有意义的组合。（2009年10月考题）

A surface structure is relatively concrete and gives the form of a sentence as it is used in communication. 表层结构相对而言是具体的，它给出了在交流中一个句子的形式。

A deep structure is abstract and gives the meaning of a sentence .深层结构是抽象的，是解释句

子意义的。

The constituent which is always present on the right side of the arrow in a PS rule is called a compulsory constituent.在短语结构规则里总是出现在箭头右边的成分被称为强制性成分。In the deep structure ,verbs always take the base form. That is to say ,at the level of deep structure ,the inflectional endings do not occur together with the verbs .They are separated from the verbs and are part of a auxiliary phrase.在深层结构中，动词总是基本的形式。也就是说，在深层结构的层次上，屈折结尾不与动词连在一起。它们与动词是分开的，是辅助短语的一部分。

The verbs in verb phrases are called main verbs ; the other verbs are helping verbs .在动词短语中的动词是主要动词，其它的动词都是助动词。

In TG Grammar ,an auxiliary phrase consists of four components :tense ,modal verbs ,the perfect aspect and the progressive aspect .在转换生成语法中，一个辅助短语有四部分组成：时态，情态动词，完成体，进行体。

To generate the deep structure of an English sentence, we always start with the rule :S NP AUX VP.，为了构造一个英语句子的深层结构，我们总是以规则开始。

All transformational rules perform three kinds of operations : rearranging the sentence elements ; adding a new element to the phrase marker ; deleting an element from the phrase marker .所有的转换规则都执行三种步骤：重组句子成分，在短语标记中添加一个新的成分，从短语标记中删除一个成分。(2010年1月考题)

Some transformational rules are obligatory and many are optional .The obligatory T-rules have to be applied if we want to obtain well-formed sentences.一些转换规则是强制性的，但是大多数是选择性的，如果我们要获得构造很好的句子，就必须使用强制性的转换规则。Technically speaking ,a formalized T-rule consists of two parts :the structural description and the structural change .严格来说，一个规定的转换规则有两个部分构成：结构描述和结构改变。

第七章语义学填空题或选择题

Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning :the meaning of words ,phrases and sentences.语义学是对语言意义的研究，包括单词意义，短语意义和句子意义。(2010年1月考题)

The denotative meaning（外延意义）of a linguistic form is the person ,object ,abstract notion ,event ,or state which the word or sentence denotes .一种语言形式的外延意义是指单词或句子所指示的人物，物体，抽象概念，事件或者状态。

The connotation of a linguistic form has to do with its overtones of meaning ,that is , what the linguistic form suggests . 一种语言形式的隐涵意义与言外之意有关，也就是语言形式所暗示的意义。

There are three types of connotation which suggest the speaker’s different attitudes :positive connotation ,neutral connotation and negative connotation .暗示说话者不同态度的隐涵意义有三种：积极的隐涵意义，中性的隐涵意义和消极的隐涵意义。

Lexical semantics（词汇语义学）is concerned with word /lexical meaning .词汇语义学与单词意义有关。

Following the theory of Componential Analysis （成分分析法）,we define the meaning of a word as a set of semantic features or semantic components with the values :plus(+) or minus (-).根据成分分析法的理论，我们把一个单词的意思定义为一系列的语义特征或者带有正值或负值的语义成分。

The relationship between the term on the higher level and terms on one level below is said to be

hyponymy .It is a kind of relationship between higher term /general term/super-ordinate and lower term /specific term /subordinate .高层次术语和低一层次术语之间的关系就是上下义关系。它是较高层次和较低层次或者概括意义的词和具体意义的词或者上义词和下义词之间的一种关系。

The words that sound different but have the same or nearly the same meaning are called synonyms. The relationship between these words is called synonymy.发音不同但是有同种或者几乎相同意义的词叫做同义词。这些词之间的关系称为同义关系。

When a pair of words are opposite in meaning ., they are antonyms .The relationship between them is called antonymy. 当一对单词意思相反，它们就是反义词。它们之间的关系称为反义关系。

The meaning of gradable pairs of antonyms is characterized by relativity .可分等级的反义词的意义特征是相对性。

Different from complementary pairs ,gradable pairs of antonyms have comparative and superlative forms .和互补性反义词不同的是，可分等级的反义词有比较级形式和最高级形式。

Semantic ambiguity can be divided into two types :lexical ambiguity（词汇歧义）and structural ambiguity （结构歧义）.语义歧义可以分成两种：词汇歧义和结构歧义。

The semantic ambiguity which is caused by ambiguous words rather than by ambiguous structures is called lexical ambiguity . 由有歧义的单词而不是有歧义的结构所导致的语义歧义称为词汇歧义。

A word is polysemic if it has more than one meaning .如果一个单词有不止一个意义它就是多义的。

If sentences are syntactically well-formed but semantically ill-formed ,they are known as semantically anomalous sentences .如果句子合乎语法但是语义上不通，它们就是语义上反常的句子。

1.According to Austin ,the three acts a person is possibly performing while making an utterance are locutionary act ,illocutionary act and perlocutionary act . 根据奥斯汀，一个人在发出话语的时候常会有三种行为：言内行为，言外行为和言后行为。

https://www.360docs.net/doc/335523188.html,ually sentence meaning is abstract and decontextualized while utterance meaning is concrete and context-dependent . 通常句子意义是抽象的，是不依赖语境的，而话语意义是具体的，是依赖语境的。

3.The basic difference between pragmatics and traditional semantics is that pragmatics considers meaning in context while traditional semantics studies meaning in isolation from the context of use .语用学和传统语义学的基本区别在于语用学在语境中研究意义而传统语义学在意义研究时不考虑语境。

4.Searle classifies illocutionary speech acts into five types :representatives ,directives ,commissives ,expressives ,and declaratives .舍尔将言外行为分成五种，阐述类，指令类，承诺类，表达类，宣告类。

5.According to Austin ,there are two types of sentences: those sentences that are used to do things and those that are used to describe things . The former is performatives ,which can not be true or false ,while the latter constatives.根据奥斯汀，句子有两种，一种用来陈述一种事实，一种用来描述一种情况。前者是施为句，既不陈述事实，也不描述情况，后者是表述句。
