现代语言学 复习要点

现代语言学 复习要点

现代语言学复习要点现代语言学是研究语言的本质、结构、演化和使用的学科,涉及到语音学、语法学、语义学、语用学等多个方面。

下面是现代语言学中的重要知识点,帮助您进行复习。

语音学音位与音素音位是语音学中的基本单位,是被感知为一种有区别的声音的语音单位。

音素是语音学中的一个概念,是语音中能够起差别作用的最小单位。

一种语音中可能存在多个音位,但其对应的音素数量通常比较少。

### 调值语音学中通常使用调值来表示声音的高低的。

不同的语言中可能有不同数量的调,比如汉语中有四个音调,英语中没有固定的调值。

### 音系音系是指一种语言中所有音位(包括所有音素)的总体,包括其音位的数量、种类和分布等方面。

语法学句子成分句子成分是指构成句子的基本单词、短语或从句。

一般来说,句子成分包括主语、谓语、宾语、定语、状语等。

### 句子结构句子结构是指句子内不同成分的组成方式。

对于不同语言,其句子结构可能存在明显差异,如英语中主语一般出现在谓语前,而在汉语中通常是在谓语后。

### 语法关系语法关系是指句子中不同成分之间的关系,如主语与谓语之间的关系、宾语与谓语之间的关系等。

语义学词义词义是单词所表达的概念或意义。

不同的单词可能存在相同或相似的词义,因此在语义学中通常需要进行词义分类和比较。

### 语义关系语义关系是指单词、短语、句子等之间的意义相互联系。

常见的语义关系包括同义关系、反义关系、上下位关系等。

### 语篇意义语篇意义是指句子及其上下文所构成的整体意义。

在语篇分析中,不仅要关注句子内部的语义关系,还需考虑句子与上下文之间的语义关系。

语用学言语行为言语行为是指言语交流过程中所体现的具体行为,如陈述、命令、请求、批评等。

不同类型的言语行为具有不同的功能和表达方式。

### 语用礼貌语用礼貌是指在言语交际过程中对他人尊重、友好的表达方式。

常见的语用礼貌策略包括委婉语、礼貌用语、双重否定等。

### 上下文依存言语交际过程中,具体表达的含义通常需要依赖于上下文信息。

现代语言学复习笔记2

现代语言学复习笔记2

语用学研究的是说某种语言的人怎样用句子去实现成功的交际。
由于交际的过程从本质来说是在一定的语境中表达意义的过程,因而语用学的本质是一种意义研究。它是一种将语言置于使用的语境中去的意义研究。
2. Pragmatics and semantics 语用学和语义学
Pragmatics and semantics are both linguistic studies of meaning, but they are different. What essentially distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning, the context of use is considered. If it is not considered, the study is restricted to the area of traditional semantics; if it is considered, the study is being carried out in the area of pragmatics.

语言学教程[第十二章现代语言学理论与流派]山东大学期末考试知识点复习

第十二章现代语言学理论与流派复习笔记I.索绪尔和现代语言学现代语言学始于瑞士语言学家索绪尔,他被称为“现代语言学之父”和一位“使语言学走向现代的大师”。

索绪尔认为,语言是用声音表达交流思想的符号系统。

符号是形式和意义的联合,是表示者和被表示者的结合。

符号是语言事实的核心,研究语言必须从符号本身的特性人手。

索绪尔区分了几组重要的概念:能指和所指,语言和言语,共时研究和历时研究等。

II.布拉格学派布拉格学派的形成可以追溯到马泰休斯领导召开的该学派的第一次会议。

1.主要观点及贡献布拉格学派的研究有三大重点:(1)强调共时研究的合理性,因为它可以提供完整且易掌控的研究材料。

(2)强调语言的系统性,指出任何语言单位都不能在孤立的的情况下得到令人满意的分析及评估。

换句话说,语言单位处于功能对比、对立之中。

(3)它将语言看作是在所属语言群体中发挥一系列功能的工具。

2.功能句子观功能句子观是一套语言学分析理论,它是指用信息论的原理来分析话语或文本。

其基本原则就是一句话中各部分起的作用取决于它对全句意义的贡献。

一些捷克语言学家尝试从功能的角度来分析句子。

他们相信一个句子包含话语的出发点和话语的目的。

话语的出发点叫做主位,它是说话人和听话人都知道的信息;话语的目的是说话人要向听话人传递的信息,叫做述位。

从主位到述位的运动揭示了大脑本身的运动。

功能句子观旨在研究话语中新(未知)、旧 (已知)信息的分布问题。

已知信息指那些对于听话人不再是新信息的部分;新信息是即将向听话人传达的信息。

句子中主语一谓语的分布不总是与主位一述位的分布一致。

3.交际能力另一种版本的分析法叫做交际能力,由费尔巴斯提出。

现代语言学的入门知识语言结构与语言变化

现代语言学的入门知识语言结构与语言变化

现代语言学的入门知识语言结构与语言变化现代语言学的入门知识:语言结构与语言变化在现代社会中,语言无处不在,是人类交流和思维的重要工具。

语言学作为一门学科,研究的正是语言的结构和变化规律。

本文将介绍现代语言学的入门知识,主要涉及语言的基本结构和语言变化的原因。

一、语言的基本结构语言的基本结构由词汇、语法和语音组成。

词汇是语言的基本单位,它包括单词和短语。

词汇构成了句子的主体,并通过语序和语法规则来表达不同的意思。

语法是句法规则的总称,用于确定词与词之间的关系和句子的结构。

语法规则包括句子的成分、词类、语态和时态等方面。

语音是研究音素和音位的科学,它涉及到声音的产生、传播和感知。

语言的基本结构可以在不同层次上进行分析。

在语言学中,常常采用形态学、句法学和音韵学这三个分支学科来研究语言的结构。

形态学研究词的内部结构和词形变化规律,句法学研究句子的结构和句法关系,而音韵学研究语音系统和语音变化。

二、语言变化的原因语言是一种活动的、变化的系统,它随着时间的推移和社会的发展而不断演变。

语言变化是由于人们的使用习惯、交流环境以及社会文化等因素的影响。

语言变化主要包括音变、词汇变化和语法变化。

音变是指同一个语音在不同音环境下发音的差异。

音变可以是由于发音器官的特点导致的,也可以是语言习惯的结果。

比如,在英语中,/r/音在单词末尾常常发音不清或省略。

而词汇变化是指词汇在形态、语义和用法上的变化。

比如,英语中的动词过去时可以通过词缀“-ed”来表示,但也有很多不规则动词的过去时形式是特殊的。

此外,语法变化指的是语法规则和结构在演变中的改变。

比如,英语中的主谓一致规则在句法结构中变化很少,而在某些方言中可能存在变异。

语言变化的原因有多个。

首先,语言变化是一种内在的演化过程,是语言系统自身发展的结果。

其次,语言变化是由于各种外界因素的影响,如社会文化、人群迁移和语言接触等。

同时,语言变化也是人们个体的主观行为和认知的反映。

现代语言学知识点第一章、绪论Introduction1、语言学的主要分支是什么。

每个分支的研究对象是什么?Linguistics mainly involves the following branches:General linguistics, which is the study of language as a whole and which deals with the basic concepts, theories, descriptions, models and methods applicable in any linguistic study Phonetics, which studies the sounds that are used in linguistic communicationPhonology, which studies how sounds are put together and used in communicationMorphology, which studies the way in which morphemes are arranged to form wordsSyntax, which studies how morphemes and words are combined to form sentencesSemantics, which is the study of meaning in language.Pragmatics, which is the study of meaning not in isolation, but in context of useSociolinguistics, which is the study of language with reference to societyPsycholinguistics, which is the study of language with reference to the workings of mind.Applied linguistics, which is concerned about the application of linguistic findings in linguistic studies; In a narrow sense, applied linguistics refers to the application of linguistic principles and theories to language teaching and learning, especially the teaching of foreign and second languages.Other related branches are anthropological linguistics, neurological linguistics, mathematical linguistics, andcomputational linguistics.2、现代语言学与传统语法有什么区别?Traditional grammar is prescriptive; it is based on "high "(religious, literary) written language . It sets models for language users to follow. But Modern linguistics is descriptive; its investigations are based on authentic, and mainly spoken language data. It is supposed to be scientific and objective and the task of linguists is supposed to describe the language people actually use, whether it is "correct" or not.3、什么叫共时研究?什么叫历时研究?The description of a language at some point in time is a Synchronic study; the description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study. A synchronic study of language describes a language as it is at some particular point in rime, while a diachronic study of language is a historical study; it studies the historical development of language over a period of time.4、人类语言的甄别性特征是什么?1) Arbitrariness 。

现代语言学教程整理笔记第一章绪论1/ What is linguistics?什么是语言学?Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language. It studies not any particular language, but languages in general.2/ The scope of linguistics语言学的研究范畴The study of language as a whole is often called general linguistics. (普通语言学)The study of sounds, which are used in linguistic communication, is called phonetics. (语音学)The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology. (音系学)The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words are called morphology. (形态学)The study of how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences is called syntax. (句法学)The study of meaning in language is called semantics. (语义学)The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics. (语用学)The study of language with reference to society is called socio-linguistics. (社会语言学)The study of language with reference to the working of mind is called psycho-linguistics. (心理语言学)The study of applications (as the recovery of speech ability) is generally known as applied linguistics. (应用语言学)But in a narrow sense, applied linguistics refers to the application of linguistic principles and theories to language teaching and learning, especially the teaching of foreign and second language.Other related branches include anthropological linguistics, (人类语言学)neurological linguistics, (神经语言学)mathematical linguistics, (数字语言学)and computational linguistics. (计算机语言学)3/ Some important distinctions in linguistics语言学研究中的几对基本概念Prescriptive and descriptive 规定与描写If a linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use, it is said to be descriptive, if it aims to lay down rules to tell people what they should say and what they should not say, it is said to be prescriptive.Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar. Traditional grammar is prescriptive while modern linguistics is descriptive. The task of linguists is supposed to describe the language people actually use, whether it is “correct” or not.Synchronic and diachronic 共时和历时The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study; the description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study. In modern linguistics, synchronic study is more important.Speech and writing 口头语与书面语Speech and writing are the two major media of communication. Modern linguistics regards the spoken form of language as primary, but not the written form. Reasons are: 1. Speech precedes writing; 2. There are still many languages that have only the spoken form; 3. In terms of function, the spoken language is used for a wider range of purposes than the written, and carries a larger load of communication than the written.Langue and parole 语言和言语The Swiss linguist F. de Saussure made the distinction between langue and parole early 20th century.Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. Saussure made the distinction in order to single out one aspect of language for serious study. He believes what linguists should do is to abstract langue from parole, to discover the regularities governing the actual use of language and make them the subjects of study of linguistics.Competence and performance 语言能力和语言运用Proposed by American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s.He defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language, and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. He believes the task of the linguists is to discover and specify the language rules.4/ What is language?语言的定义Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.Sapir uses “ideas”“emotions” and “desires” in his definition. Hall, like Sapir, treats language as a purely human institution. Chomsky’s definition is quite different, it focus on the purely structural properties of languages and to suggest that these properties can be investigated from a mathematically precise point of view.5/ Design features语言的甄别性特征Design features refer to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication. American linguist Charles Hockett specified twelve design features, five of which will be discussed here.Arbitrariness 语言的随意性Arbitrariness means that there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. It is not entirely arbitrary.Example: different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages. Productivity 语言的创造性Language is productive in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. This is why they can produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences, including sentences they have never heard before.Duality 语言的二重性The duality nature of language means that language is a system, which consists of two sets of structure, or two levels, one of sounds and the other of meaning.Displacement 语言的移位性Displacement means that language can be used to refer to things which are present or not present, real or imagined matters in the past, present, or future, or in far-away places.Cultural transmission 语言的文化传递性While human capacity for language has a genetic basis, i.e., we were born with the ability to acquire language, the details of any language are not genetically transmitted, but instead have to be taught and learned anew. This indicates that language is culturally transmitted. It is passed down from one generation to the next through teaching and learning, rather than by instinct.Chapter 2 Phonology 音系学1.The phonic medium of language语言的声音媒介Speech and writing are the two media used by natural languages as vehicles for communication. Of the two media of language, speech is more basic than writing. Speech is prior to writing. The writing system of any language is always “invented” by its users to record speech when the need arises.For linguists, the study of sounds is of greater importance than that of writing.The limited ranges of sounds which are meaningful in human communication and are of interest to linguistic studies are the phonic medium of language (语言的声音媒介) . The individual sounds within this range are the speech sounds (语音). 2.What is phonetics?什么是语音学?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.语音学研究的对象是语言的声音媒介,即人类语言中使用的全部语音。

Chapter 1 Introduction 绪论1 什么是语言学 what is linguistics?1.1 定义 definitionLinguistics is generally defined as scientific study of language.1.2 语言学的研究范畴 the scope of linguisticsa. The study of language as a whole is often called general linguistics. 把语言作为一个整体而进行的全面的语言学研究一般称为普通语言学。

b. The study of sounds used in linguistic communication led to the establishment of a branch of lingu istics called phonetics. 语音学phoneticsHow speech sounds are produced and classified.c. how sounds are put together and used to convey meaning in communication.how sounds form systems and function to convey meaning. phonology 音位学/ 音系学phonology交际中语音的组合规律及传达意义的方式d. The study of the way in which these symbols are arranged to form words has constituted the bran ch of study calledmorphology. 形态学morphologyhow morphemes are combined to form words.这些符号通过排列组合而成构成语词,对于这种排列组合方式的研究构成了语言学研究的另一个分支,如对形态学的研究。

e. The combination of these words to form permissible sentences in languages is governed by rules. The study of these rulesconstitutes a major branch of linguistic studies, syntax. 句法学syntaxhow morphemes and words are combined to form sentences.f. The study of meaning. semantics 语义学 (in abstraction) semanticsg. the study of meaning is conducted in context of use. pragmatics语用学pragmaticsh. the study of language with reference to society. sociolinguistics. 社会语言学sociolinguisticsi. the study of language with reference to the workings of the mind. psycholinguistics 心理语言学psycholinguisticsj. the application of linguistic principles and theories to language teaching and learning. applied lingui stics 应用语言学applied linguistics1.3 语言学研究中的一些基本概念 some important distinctions in linguistics.1.3.1 规定性和描述性 prescriptive vs. descriptiveif a linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use;如果一种语言学的研究是对人们实际使用中的语言进行的描述和分析——描述性的descriptiveif it aims at to lay down rules for “correct” behaviour to tell people what they should say and what they should not say 如果某种研究的目的是在对所谓“正确的”行为制定一些规则——规定性的prescriptive现代语言学通常是描述性的,与“语法”的语言研究是大相径庭的1.3.2 共时性和历时性 synchronic vs. diachronicthe description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study;the description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study.现代语言学中,共时性研究比历时性研究更受人青睐。

1.3.3 口头语和书面语 speech and writingSpeech and writing are two major media of communication. Modern linguistics regards the spoken la nguage as primary, not the written.In the past, traditional grammarians tended to overemphasize the importance of the written word, partly because of its permanence.1.3.4 语言和言语 langue and parole (both from French words)瑞士语言学家F. de索绪尔langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the member of a speech community. 语言,某一特定的语言社区中的所有成员所共有的那种抽象的语言系统;parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. 言语,在语言实际应用中的具体体现。

语言——习惯和规则;言语——对这些习惯和规则的遵守和实际应用言语不过是一些乱七八糟的语言材料,很难对此作系统的研究;语言学家们的任务是从言语中把语言提取出来,发现指导语言实际应用的规则,并使之成为语言学研究的主题。

1.3.5 语言能力和语言运用 competence and performance 美国语言学家-乔姆斯基(和语言,言语类似的概念)competence, the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language 能力是一个理想的语言使用者所具有的有关其所使用语言规则的知识;performance, the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. 运用则指这种知识在语言交际过程中的实际运用。

Langue and parole索绪尔对语言的研究采取的是社会学的观点,语言是社会习惯的产物;Competence and performance 乔姆斯基则从心理学的角度来审视语言现象,能力是每个说话者个体的心里特征。

2 什么是语言? what is language?2.1 语言的定义 definitions of languageLanguage is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 语言是用于人类交际目的一套任意的有声符号系统。

有以下四个特征:(1) language is a system (2) language is arbitrary (3) language is vocal (4) language is human specific2.2 语言的甄别性特征 design features甄别性特征(识别性特征)—人类语言和其他动物的交际系统区别开来的那些特征,其中五种:a. 语言的任意性(武断性)arbitrarinessb. 语言的创造性 productivityc. 语言的双重性 dualityd. 语言的位移性 displacemente. 语言的文化传递性 cultural transmissionChapter 2 Phonology音系学1 语言的声音媒介 the phonic medium of language口语和书面语是语言作为交际工具所使用的两大主要媒介和物质手段;口语比书面语更为基本;对于语言学家而言,对声音的研究远远比对书面语的研究重要得多,只关注人类器官发出的声音。

2 语音学 phonetics2.1 什么是语音学 what is phoneticsphonetics is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language; 对语言声音媒介的研究;主要研究对象是世界上所有的语言中出现过的一切声音从三个角度来审视语音现象:(1) 发音语音学 articulatory phonetics(from the speaker’s point of view)how a speaker uses his speech organs to articulate the sounds(2) 听觉语音学 auditory phonetics(from the hearer’s point of view)how the sounds are perceived by the hearer(3) 声学语音学 acoustic phoneticsIt studies the way sounds travel by looking at the sound waves, the physical means by which sounds are transmitted through the air from one person to another以上三个分支里,建立历史最长,发展最完善的就是发音语音学。
