Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement.If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then give the correct version.（2% × 10=20%)21.（）According to Hall (1968), language is "theinstitution whereby humans communicate andinteract with each other by means ofhabitually used oral-auditory arbitrarysymbols." Most linguists today accept the viewof language as a set of "habitually usedsymbols."22.（）Intonation refers to a distinctive pattern oftones over stretch of speech in principlelonger than a word, in other words, when pitch,stress and sound length are tied to thesentence rather than the word in isolation,they are collectively known as intonation.23.（）Suffixes are added to the end of stems,during the process of which they modify themeaning of the original word but usually donot change its part of speech.24.（）When we say a sentence has two levels ofstructure, D-structure and S-structure, we donot mean that the syntactic representationsof these two levels must be different. Sincesyntactic movement occurs to all sentences,so the representations of the twolevels look different.25.（）“He has been to New York”presupposes “He has been to America”.26.（）John Searle made a distinction between whathe called “constatives”and“performatives”.27.（）Regularization of exceptional plural forms ofnouns constantly occurs. By analogy tofoe/foes, and dog/dogs, English speakersstarted saying cows as the plural of cowinstead of the earlier plural kine. Thisanalogical change does not occur when wordsare borrowed from foreign languages.28.（）The common English address terms are FirstName (e.g., John), Last Name (e.g., Smith),Title + Last Name (e.g., Dr. Green), Title +Title (e.g., Mr. President), Title alone (e.g.,Sir) and Kin term (e.g., Dad). And outside ofmarked settings, between friends, neighboursand colleagues, first names are alwayspreferred.29.（）Thanks to cerebral plasticity, peoplesuffering damage to the left hemisphere areable to transfer their language centers to theright hemisphere and to reacquire the lostlinguistic skills with relatively littledisruption.30.（）The earliest sounds produced by infants can be considered as early languageIV.

Note that you are to fill inONE word only, and you are not allowed to changethe letter given. ( 1%×10=10% )11. If a linguistic study aims to lay down rules for“correct” behavior, i.e., to tell people whatthey should say and what they should not, it is said to be p.12. Languages that use the pitch of individual syllables to contrast meanings are called tlanguages. Pitch variations can be used to distinguish meaning just like phonemes.13. I morphemes are those morphemes that show variousgrammaticalrelations or categories such as number, tense and case.14. A c sentence contains two or more clauses, one of which is incorporatedinto the other.15. In grammatical analysis, the sentence is taken to bethe basic unit, but in semantic analysis ofa sentence, the basic unit is called p, which is the abstraction of themeaning of a sentence.16. The significance of Grice’s C Principle lies in thatit explains how it ispossible for the speaker to convey more than is literally said.17. The method of r of a parent language from acomparison of its daughterlanguages is called the comparative method.18. The avoidance of using t language mirrors socialattitude, emotions andvalue judgements.19.

Put a T for true or F for falsein the brackets in front of each statement. If you think astatement is false, you must explain why you think so.( 2% ×10=20% )21. ( ) The arbitrary nature of language is absolute,i.e., there are no words in world languages thatmaintain a correspondence between form and sound.22. ( ) Certain strings of phonemes are permissibleand others are not. If a word beginswith an/1/or/r/, the next segment must be a vowel. That is why / 1bIk/does notsound like an English word. It violates the restriction on the sequencing ofphonemes.23. ( ) The different stresses used in a compound donot usually affect the meaning of thecompound.24. ( ) The recursive properties of phrase structurerules enable these rules to generate an infinite number of sentences, and sentences with infinite length.25. () Entailment is a relation of inclusion. If Xentails Y, the meaning of X is included in Y.26. () Performatives are sentences that do notstate a fact or describe a state, and are not verifiable.27. ( ) Another kind of change that can be thoughtof as “economy of memory” results in a reduction of the number of exceptional or irregular morphemes. For example,children and adults are presently saying Idreamed last night(instead of dreamt).This kind of change has been called rule simplification.28. () One striking fact about the asymmetrybetween male and female terms in manylanguages is that when there are male/female pairs, the male form for the most partis unmarked and the female term is produced by adding a bound morpheme or bycompounding.29. ( ) Research findings have shown that languageprocessing centers are situated in a single area of the left hemisphere.30. ( ) The grammatical errors that occur in secondlanguage acquisition can allbe explained by mother tongue interference.Ⅳ.

【密训】00830 现代语言学

现代语言学（课程代码：00830）Chapter1:Introduction1.Define the following terms:1).Linguistics:It is generally defined as the scientific study of language.2).General linguistics（普通语言学）:The study of language as a whole is called general linguistics.3).Applied linguistics（应用语言学）: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.In a broad sense,it refers to the application of linguistic findings to the solution of practical problems such as the recovery of speech ability.4).Synchronic study（共时性研究）:The study of a language at some point in time.e.g.A study of the features of the English used in Shakespeare's time is a synchronic study.5).Diachronic study（历时性研究）:The study of a language as it changes through time.A diachronic study of language is a historical study,which studies the historical development of language over a period of time.e.g.a study of the changes English has undergone since Shakespeare's time is a diachronic study. 6).Language competence（语言能力）:The ideal user's knowledge of the rules of his language.A transformational-generative grammar（转化生成语法）is a model of language competence.7).Language performance（语言行为）:performance is the actual realization of the ideal language user's knowledge of the rules in linguistic communication. 8).Langue（语言）:Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community;Langue is the set of conventions and rules which language users all have to follow;Langue is relatively stable,it does not change frequently.9).Parole（言语）:Parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use;parole is the concrete use of the conventions and the application of the rules;parole varies from person to person,and from situation to situation.10).Language（语言）:Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.11).Arbitrariness（任意性）:It is one of the design features of language.It means that there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds.A good example is the fact that different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages.12).Productivity（多产性）:Language is productive or creative in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users.13).Duality（二元性）:Language is a system,which consists of two sets of structure,or two levels,one of sounds at the lower or basic level,and the other of meanings at the higher level.14).Displacement（移位性）: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.In other words,language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker.15).Cultural transmission（文化传递性）:While we are born with the ability to acquire language,the details of any language are not genetically transmitted,but instead have to be taught and learned.16).Design features（普遍特征）:It refers to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication2.Explain the following definition of linguistics:Linguistics is the scientific study of language.Linguistics investigates not any particular language,but languages in general. Linguistic study is scientific because it is based on the systematic investigation of authentic(可靠的，真实的)language data.No serious linguistic conclusion is reached until after the linguist has done the following three things:observing the way language is actually used,formulating some hypotheses,and testing these hypotheses against linguistic facts to prove their validity.3.What are the branches of linguistics?What does each of them study?(语言学的主要分支是什么。

( )A. it confirms the critical period hypothesisB. human’s language acquisition device is independent of other intellectual abilitiesC. language can not be acquired at all after the critical periodD. the language faculty of an average human degenerates after the critical period and, as a result, most linguistic skills cannot develop10. Although children are still acquiring aspects of their native language through the later years of childhood, it is normally assumed that they have completed the greater part of the language acquisition process by the age of______.( )A. three and halfB. fourC. fiveD. sixⅡ. Directions: Fill in the blank in each of the following statements with one word , the first letter of which is already given as a clue. Note that you are to fill in ONE word only, and you are not allowed to change the letter given. (1%×10=10%)11. The core area of linguistics includes phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and s .12. Phonetics provides the means to describe the sounds, showing how they differ; phonology tells us that they function as p , acting to contrast words.13. Both i____________ morphology and derivational morphology are the two sub-branches of morphology.14. When a sentence is uttered or written down, the words of the sentence areproduced one after another in a sequence. This sequential order of words ina sentence shows that the structure of a sentence is l_____________.15. C_________ synonyms are synonyms that differ in the words they gotogether with. It is a matter of usage.16. According to Searle’s classification of illocutionary acts, “I swear I havenever seen the man before” is among the most typical examples of the r______.17. Sound a________ refers to sound change or process by which features ofone element change to match those of another that precedes or follows. 18. German-speaking Switzerland is described as a d___________community, where the distinct varieties are Standard German and Swiss German.19. The left hemisphere controls voluntary movements of, and responds tosignals from, the r___________ side of the body.20. Learning is defined as a conscious process of accumulating knowledge ofa second language usually obtained in school settings while a__________refers to the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicative situations.III. Directions: Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false in the bracket in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and give the correct version. （2%×10=20%）21.( ) People can utter a sentence he has never heard or used before. In thissense, human language is creative.22.( ) In English both aspirated and unaspirated voiceless stops occur. Thevoiceless aspirated stopsand the voiceless unaspirated stopsoccur in the same phonemic context or environment.23.( ) Parameters are syntactic options of UG that allow general principles to operate in one way or another and contribute to significant linguistic variations between and among languages.24.( ) Syntactic movement occurs to all sentences, therefore, the deep structure and surface structure of every sentence look different at its two levels of representation.25.( )The Anglo-Saxons were migrants from the northern parts of Europe, so the words that they originally used and the words that the English vocabulary has later taken in from other languages are regarded as loan words.26.( ) Paul Grice made a distinction between what he called “constatives”and“performatives”.27.( ) Most of the languages of Europe, Persia (Iran), and the northern part of India belong to the same Indo-European language family. The language, which no longer exists, is called Proto-Indo-European, a term reflecting the earlier linguistic distribution of the speakers of this language family from India to Europe.28.( ) In Black English, when the verb is negated, the indefinite pronouns something, somebody, and some become the negative indefinites nothing, nobody, and none, as in :He don’t know nothing.He don’t like nobody.He ain’t got none.29.( ) The cerebral cortex is the decision-making organ of the body, receiving messages from all the sensory organs and initiating all voluntary actions.30.( ) During the two-word stage of language acquisition, two-word expressions are absent of syntactic or morphological markers.IV.
