(P3) If a linguistic aims to describe and analyze the language people actually use, it is said to be descriptive(描写性的). If the linguistic study aims to lay down rules for “correct and standard” behavior in using language, it is said to be prescriptive(规定性的).2.(P4) The description of a language at some point of time in history is a synchronic(共时的)study; the description of a language as it changes through time isa diachronic(历时的)study.3.(P4) Langue(语言)refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole(言语)refers to the realization of language in actual use4. (P5) Chomsky defines competence(语言能力)as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language, and performance (语言表现)the actual realization of his knowledge in linguistic communication.第二章5.(P17)As some speech sounds produced differ only in some detailed aspects, the IPA provides its users with another set of symbols called diacritics(发音符号/辨音符)6. (P23) A phoneme(音素)is a phonological unit, it is a unit that is of distinctive value, it is an abstract value.7. (P24) It can be easily observed that phonetically similar sounds might be related in two ways.

社会语言学概论复习资料

社会语言学概论复习资料社会语言学概论复习资料社会语言学是研究语言与社会之间相互关系的学科。

它探究语言是如何受到社会因素的影响,以及语言如何反过来塑造社会。

本文将从语言的社会功能、语言变异和语言变化等方面进行复习。

一、语言的社会功能语言是人类社会交往的重要工具,它不仅仅是传递信息的媒介,还承载着社会认同、身份表达和社会关系构建的功能。

在社会语言学中,我们常常关注语言的社会功能。

首先,语言可以用来表达社会认同。

人们通过使用特定的语言、方言或口音来展示自己的身份认同。

例如,某些地区的居民可能会使用特定的方言或口音,以显示他们的地域归属感。

其次,语言可以用来建立社会关系。

通过使用特定的语言风格、词汇选择和语法结构,人们可以表达自己的社会地位和与他人的关系。

例如,在某些文化中,使用敬语可以显示对他人的尊重和礼貌。

最后,语言还可以用来构建社会共识。

通过使用共同的语言规范和语言习惯,人们可以建立共同的理解和共享的价值观。

这有助于社会成员之间的沟通和合作。

二、语言变异语言变异是指语言在不同社会群体中的差异。

这种差异可以体现在词汇、发音、语法和语用等方面。

语言变异的研究对于理解社会语言学具有重要意义。

首先,地理变异是一种常见的语言变异形式。

不同地区的人们可能使用不同的方言或口音。

例如,中国的南方和北方人们在词汇、发音和语法上存在明显的差异。

其次,社会变异是另一种重要的语言变异形式。

社会变异指的是不同社会群体之间的语言差异。

这种差异可能与年龄、性别、职业、教育水平等社会因素有关。

例如,不同年龄段的人可能在词汇选择和语法结构上存在差异。

最后,语用变异是指语言在不同社交场景中的差异。

人们在不同的社交环境中使用不同的语言风格和语言策略。

例如,在正式场合中使用正式语言,而在非正式场合中使用非正式语言。

三、语言变化语言是一个动态的系统,不断发展和变化。

语言变化是指语言在时间上的演变和发展。

社会语言学关注语言变化的原因和过程。

社会语言学复习资料

社会语言学复习资料社会语言学是一门研究语言在社会中使用的学科。

它旨在理解语言与社会的联系,并探讨语言如何被用来塑造社会关系、群体认同和身份。

在本篇文章中,我们将提供一些社会语言学的重要概念和术语,以及一些相关的实例和问题,帮助大家复习这门学科。

1、语言变异语言变异是指语言在不同社会群体中的变化。

这种变化可能源于社会因素,如年龄、性别、社会地位等。

例如,在一种语言中,可能会出现标准语和方言两种形式,而这两种形式在不同的社会群体中被使用。

语言变异的研究有助于我们理解语言的多样性以及语言如何在不同的社会语境中被使用。

2、语言与社会阶层语言与社会阶层有密切的联系。

不同社会阶层的人在语音、词汇、语法等方面使用的语言可能会有所不同。

例如,在英语中,标准书面语通常被认为是受过教育的中产阶级使用的语言,而口语化的表达方式则常常被认为是下层社会的特征。

研究语言与社会阶层的关系可以帮助我们理解社会阶层如何影响人们使用语言的方式。

3、语言与性别语言与性别之间也存在联系。

男性和女性在语音、语法和词汇方面使用的语言可能会有所不同。

例如,在某些语言中,女性通常使用更为礼貌和正式的语调,而男性则更倾向于使用粗鲁和直接的言语。

研究语言与性别之间的关系可以帮助我们理解性别如何影响人们使用语言的方式。

4、语言接触语言接触是指不同语言或方言之间的接触和交流。

这种交流可能会导致一种语言的词汇、语法和表达方式被另一种语言吸收或改变。

例如,在多元文化的城市中,可能会存在英语和汉语的混合使用,这种混合使用在日常生活中很常见。

研究语言接触可以帮助我们理解语言的融合和变化过程。

5、语言死亡语言死亡是指一种语言在社会中不再被使用或传承。

这通常是由于社会、政治和经济因素的影响。

例如,殖民统治和全球化可能会导致一种语言的消亡。

研究语言死亡可以帮助我们理解语言的演变和社会变革之间的关系。

总之,社会语言学是一门非常有趣的学科,它涉及到语言和社会之间的多个方面。

. Sociolinguistics:is a branch of linguistics which studies all aspects of the relationship between language and society.What are the main factors leading to the growth of sociolinguistics?A. The general recognition of the importance of the fact that language is a very variable phenomenon and that this variability may have as much to do with society as with language.B. The demand made by the development of modern sciences and society and the financial support given by some capitalist governments such as the U.S. government.C. The healthy climate for its growth created by the development of disciplines like sociology, anthropology and psychology as it takes concepts and findings from them.Sociolinguistics and related disciplinesSociolinguistics is related to other disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, education and planning as it has drawn a lot (e.g. taking concepts and findings) from the work done by anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, educators and planners who also use much work of sociolinguistics to help their studies.The present situation of sociolinguistics?a. It has been a very important new branch of linguistics.b. It has been a recognized part of most courses at university level on linguistics or language.c. It is one of the main growth points in the study of language, from the point of both teaching and research.Features of the present sociolinguistics:Many numerous theories, vast amounts of data, and important consequences of new discoveries for areas such as education and language planning, but there is no central doctrine that must be adhered to。

绪论1、社会语言学社会语言学是研究语言与社会的关系的一门学科。

它从不同的社会科学去考察语言,进而研究在不同的社会条件下产生的语言变异。

变素不同的社会条件和语言变异因此社会语言学是研究社会与语言的共变的一门学科。

2、语言语言是一个特定的社会的成员所说的话。

这一定义简明扼要;缺点是:不好界定。

因为:1)语言具有不同的形式;2)人们可能使用不同的语言。

3、语言和社会之间可能存在的关系1)社会结构影响或决定语言结构(行为);2)语言结构(行为)影响或决定社会结构;3)语言和社会相互影响;4)语言结构和社会结构没有关系1)分支说: ①人物:英国郝德森。

②观点:社会语言学就是“社会+语言学”。

2)“两属”说: ①人物:前苏联德舍里耶夫。

②观点:“社会语言学不仅仅属于语言科学的范围,它诞生于其他学科之间,是一门学科际的学科”。

3)“语用”说: ①人物:美国佐伊基。

②观点:社会语言学主要研究who says what to whom on which occasion(什么人在什么场合对什么人说什么)。

4)“应用”说: ①人物:陈建民、陈章太。

②观点:社会语言学是研究语言与社会共变、语言与文化共存的一门应用学科。

5)“边缘”说: ①人物:陈原②观点:“社会语言学是一门多学科性交叉学科;从它发展的趋向看来,它不只是社会科学若干学科的交叉,而且是社会科学和自然科学的接合部之一。

……边缘学科是富有生命力的,社会语言学也不例外”。

4、社会语言学和语言社会学●有学者将“社会语言学”分为“宏观社会语言学”和“微观社会语言学”,“宏观社会语言学”相当于“语言社会学”。

●一方面这种区分是必要的,前者侧重于联系社会研究语言,后者侧重于联系语言联系社会。

但两方面的研究需要互补,不可画地为牢,这样才构成完整的“社会—语言”学。

●微观社会语言学——研究小群体的言语特征及其与社会环境的相互关系的●宏观社会语言学——研究国家或地区的语言状况及其与社会变迁的相互关系的三、研究对象●社会语言学要研究语言和客观的社会诸因素(如社会结构的各种不同成分)之间的关系,而且还要研究主观的社会诸因素(如社会态度、社会价值等)在语言活动中的反映。

Key Terms1. Sociolinguistics:Sociolinguistics is concerned with investigating the relationships between language and society with the goal being a better understanding of the structure of language and of how languages function in communication. It is the study of language in relation to society. That is to say, in sociolinguistics, we study language and society in order to find out as much as we can about what kind of thing language is. Coulmas puts it that sociolinguistics investigates “how social str ucture influences the way people talk and how language varieties and patterns of use correlate with social attributes such as class, sex, and age.” In sociolinguistics, we study, for example, linguistic variation, dialects, language attitude and its effect etc.2. Independent variable & dependent variableAn independent variable is an activity or characteristic believed to make a difference with respect to some behavior; a dependent variable is the change or difference in behavior that occurs as a result of the independent variable. For example, in Labov’s study of /r/, the social status of the people is an independent variable and the pronunciation of /r/ is the dependent variable as a result of the change of the social status.3. VarietyVariety refers to a set of linguistic items or human speech patterns (sounds, words, grammatical features), which can be uniquely associated with some external factor (e.g. a geographical area or a social group). For example, Black English is a variety of English related with the racial group and Beijing dialect is also a variety of Chinese Mandarin related with the geographical area.4. Language and dialectLanguage refers either to a single linguistic norm or to a group of related norms while dialect refers to one of the norms. For example, in Britain, the British speak the English language and there are dialects such as Yorkshire dialect etc.5. Style and registerStyle refers to differences in speech or writing in terms of degree of formality. It is usually associated with variations in situation, topic, addressee, and location. For example, our talk is much more formal in a public speech and less informal in daily conversation. Similarly we would talk more respectfully with an interviewer and less so with classmates or family members. Register refers to differences in speech or writing in terms of vocabulary. It is usually associated with a certain occupational or social group. For example, jargon is the vocabulary differences because of different occupations.6. Standard variety and non-standard varietyStandard variety is the variety which has the highest status in a community or nation and which is usually based on the speech and writing of educated native speakers. Other varieties are regarded as non-standard varieties. For example, in China, Mandarin is the standard variety that has the highest status, and is used in media, education etc and other varieties are non-standard ones.7. StandardizationStandardization refers to the process of making some aspect of language usage conforms to a standard variety. This may take place in connection with the writing or spelling system of a particular language and is usually implemented by a government authority.8. Dialect geography and isogloss.Dialect geography refers to the study of geographic distribution of linguistic items, the results plotted on maps (dialect atlases). Lines marking the boundaries of linguistic features on such maps are isoglosses. For example, in the following map which shows the distribution of /r/, /u/ and // pronunciation, the lines, both dotted and real lines are called isogloss./r/-full &/ //r/-less & / / /r/-full & /u//r/-less &/u/9. NetworksNetworks refer to groups of people who communicate with each other regularly. The density of a social network depends on the degree to which the people who form the social network all know each other.The concept “networks” is used to view how an individual relates to oth er individuals in society. That is, it studies how and on what occasions a specific individual A interacts now with B, then with C, and then again with D, how intensive the various relationships are, (does A interact more frequently with B than with C or D?) and how extensive A’s relationship with B is in the sense of how many other individuals interact with both A and B in whatever activity brings them together. People can be involved in a dense network if the people you know and interact with also know and interact with one another. If they do not, the network is a loose one. And people are said to be involved in a multiplex network if the people within it are tied together in more than one way.10. VariationVariation refers to language differences in speech and writing between speakers of different ages, genders, social classes or identities; or differences in differences in different situation, topic, addressee, and location; including difference over time. For example, to refer to the same automotive vehicle suitable for hauling, Americans and British would use different words: truck v.s. lorry, and spell the same word meaning the middle as something as “centre” v.s. “center”.11. Speech repertoireSpeech repertoire refers to the range of linguistic varieties which the speaker has at his disposal and which he may appropriately use as a member of his speech community. It can be used to describe the communicative competence of individual speakers. Each person will then have a distinctive speech repertoire. And quite often , many individuals will have virtually identical repertoire.12. IdiolectIdiolect refers to the speech characteristics and linguistic behavior of individuals.13. Lingua francaLingua franca refers to a language which is used habitually by people whose mother tongues are different in order to facilitate communication between them. It can be spoken in a variety of ways. For example, today English is used in very many places and for very many purposes as a lingua franca, e.g., in travel and often in trade, commerce, and international relation. And the English can serve as a lingua franca in many parts of the world, and for some speakers, it is a native language, and still others a foreign language.14. Speech communitySpeech community has been defined differently by different people. But generally it can be used to refer to a group of people who form a community, e.g. a village, a region, a nation, and who have at least one linguistic variety in common. Possible standards for defining a speech community are one single speech variety, shared attitudes towards linguistic behavior in the community, and in-group social cohesiveness.15. PidginPidgin refers to a linguistic variety which develops as a contact language when groups of people with different mother tongues come into contact and communicate with one another, as when foreign traders communicate with the local population or workers on plantations or in factories communicate with one another or with their bosses. It i s no one’s first language. For example, Tok Pisin is used as a unifying language among speakers of many different languages in Papua New Guinea.Characteristics of pidgin: simplifications of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar16. CreoleCreole refer s to a “pidgin” which has become the native language of a group of speakers, being used for all or many of their daily communicative needs.Characteristics of Creole when compared with pidgins: larger vocabulary; more complex grammar; more styles.17. CodeCode is a term used instead of language, speech variety, or dialect. It is sometimes considered to be a more neutral term than the others.18. DiglossiaDiglossia refers to a situation in which two very different codes exist side by side in a speech community, each with a distinct range of social functions. The key defining characteristic of diglossia is that the two varieties are kept quite apart in their functions. The High variety (or H-variety) is usually more standardized, and is used in government, the media, education, and for religious services; the Low-variety (or L-variety) is used in family conversation and other relatively informal setting. For example, in Switzerland, there are Standard German (H) and Swiss German (L) varieties, with the former one used in most of the formal situations, and the latter for other informal settings. And in Haiti, there are Standard French (H) and Haitian Creole (L).19. BilingualismBilingualism can refer to the community where two languages are used, and the ability to use tow languages either by an individual or by a speech community. Balanced, compound, and coordinate bilingualism20. Code-switchingCode-switching refers to a change by a speaker (or writer) from one code to another. It is a conversational strategy used to establish, cross or destroy group boundaries, to create, evoke or change interpersonal relations with their rights and obligations. For example, to hide meaning from a third party present at the conversation, the two speakers may switch to their hometown dialect to distance their relation.21. code-mixingCode-mixing is the mixed use of codes. Usually the two codes involved are not of equal position with one being predominant and the other subordinate. For example, “明天是peter的part,我们开一个party,好吗?”22. Implicational scaleImplicational scale is a term from variation theory particularly associated with the study of the post-creole continuum. It is introduced by the American linguist David DeCamp in 1971 as a way of showing relationships between linguistic varieties. He demonstrated that certain linguistic forms from the Jamaican social dialect continuum had both creole and standard variants. There variants can be ranked in terms of their “creoleness” and “standardness” on an implicatio nal hierarchy that is observed by (nearly all) speakers, such that usage by a speaker of creole forms from a particular point on the hierarchy implies that one can predict that he or she will also use creole forms from lower down on the hierarchy, but not necessarily from higher up. That is, some mesolectal forms are more basilectal or acrolectal than others. Similarly, use of standard forms from a particular point on the continuum also implies use of standard forms from higher up on the hierarchy, but not necessarily use of those from lower down.23. CultureCulture is the sum total of all contributions of a group of people, in a designated area, within a given time. It represents, more specifically, the aesthetic or intellectual achievement or appreciation of an individual or a society, and also the lifestyle of a society as passed on from generation to generation.24. Whorfian hypothesisWhorfian hypothesis has two versions: strong one and weak one.The strong version says that one’s thinking is c ompletely determined by his native language because one cannot but perceive the world in terms of the categories and distinctions encoded in the language.The categories and distinctions encoded in one language system are unique to that system and incommsurable with those of other systems.The weak version puts it that the structure does not determine the world-view but is still extremely influential in predisposing speakers of a language toward adopting a particular world-view.25. Prototype theoryA prototype is the first model that is made of something new, first or original example, e.g. an aircraft, from which others have been or will be copied or developed.Prototype theory refers to the idea that concepts are best viewed as prototypes. A prototype-based concept can be learned on the basis of a very small number of instances, perhaps a single one, and without any kind of formal definition.26. EthnographyEthnography is a non-manipulative study of the cultural characteristics of a group in real world rather than laboratory setting, utilizing ethnographic techniques and providing a socio-cultural interpretation of the research data. For example, an ethnography of a communicative event is a description of all the factors that are relevant in understanding how that event achieves its objective. And Lindenfeld’s ethnographical study offers an account of the language of a dozen long-standing urban marketplaces in Paris etc, the talk of vendors, vendor-customer talk, politeness routines, small talk, jokes, insults, etc. An alternative approach to devising ethnographies is to attempt to describe the different functions of language in communication. 27. EthnomethodologyEthnomethodology is the study of how individuals create and understand their daily lives. Subjects for such studies are not people in primitive tribes, but those in contemporary society. It is a branch of sociology, which ahs links with conversation analysis because of its use of recorded conversation material as data. Most ethnomethodologists study not language or speech, but talk. In particular, they are interested in what is not said. They focus on the shared common-sense knowledge speakers have of their society which they can leave unstated in conversation because it is taken fro granted by all participants.28. Communicative competenceCommunicative competence refers to the ability not only to apply the grammatical rules of a language in order to form grammatically correct sentence, but also to know when and where to use these sentences and to whom. CC refers to whether (and to what degree) something is formally possible, feasible, appropriate, and in fact done. It includes linguistic competence; sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence.29. Speech actsUtterances as functional units in communication30. Turn-takingTurn-taking refers to the distribution of talk across participants in conversation. There are there ways of turn-taking (degree of control). Firstly, turn-taking happens by mentioning his/her name, current speaker selects the next speaker. Secondly, by asking a question, current speaker invites another speaker to speak but leaves the choice open. Thirdly, a certain hearer self-selects as the next speaker.31. Adjacency pairsIt refers to sequences of two utterances that are adjacent, produced by different speakers, ordered as a first part and a second part, typed so that a particular first part requires a particular second part or range of second parts. For example, a question can lead to an answer, which can lead to a comment, which can lead to an acknowledgment, and so on.32. SolidarityIt refers to support and unity resulting from common interests or feelings in communication, and feelings of shared experience and common group membership.33. PolitenessIt refers to recognition of other’s rights in a social situation. (positive and negative politeness by Penelope Brown and Stephen Levinson)34. Address termsAddress terms refer to second-person pronouns, or names, or titles, or endearments, and expressions used when speaking to someone. For example, the same person may be addressed by “you”, “Mr. James Martin”, “Professor Martin”, “dear”, or other expression.35. Language planning“Language planning is a government a uthorized, long-term, sustained and conscious effort to alter a language’s function in a society for the purpose of solving communication problems” (Weinsten, 1980). It refers to deliberate efforts to influence the behavior of others with respect to the acquisition, structure, or functional allocation of language. Typically it will involve the development of goals, objectives and strategies to change the way language is used. At a governmental level, language planning takes the form of language policy. Many nations have language regulatory bodies which are specifically charged with formulating and implementinglanguage planning policies.36. Status planningIt refers to deliberate efforts to allocate the functions of languages and literacies within a speech community. It involves status choices, making a particular language or variety an “official language”, “national language”, etc. Often it will involve elevating a language or dialect into a prestige variety, which may be at the expense of competing dialects. Status planning is often part and parcel of creating a new writing system. Status planning tends to be the most controversial aspect of language planning.37. Corpus planningIt refers to prescriptive intervention in the forms of a language. This may be achieved by creating new words or expressions, modifying old ones, or selecting among alternative forms. Corpus planning aims to develop the resources of a language so that it becomes an appropriate medium of communication for modern topics and forms of discourse, equipped with the terminology needed fro use in administration, education, etc. Corpus planning is often related to the standardization of a language, involving the preparation of a normative orthography, grammar, and dictionary for the guidance of writers, and speakers in a speech community. Efforts at linguistic purism and the exclusion of foreign words also belong the courpus planning, as do spelling reform and the introduction of new writing system.38. Linguistic assimilation and linguistic pluralismLinguistic assimilation is the belief that everyone, regardless of origin, should learn the dominant language of the society. (France example) Linguistic pluralism is the recognition of more than one language. It can be territorially based or individually based or there may be some combination of the two. It can be complete or partial, so that all or only some aspects of life can be conducted in more than one language in a society. (Canada)39. Vernacularizaion and internationalismVernacularization is the restoration or elaboration of an indigenous language and its adoption as an official language, e.g., Bahasa Indonesia in Indonesia.Internationalism is the adoption of a non-indigenous language of wider communication either as an official language or for such purposes as education or trade, e.g., English in Singapore, India, the Philipines, and Papua New Guinea.1.What is the scope of sociolinguistic research?The scope of sociolinguistic includes linguistic situation; dialects; language in communication; language attitude and its effect; language contact and language change; language planning and language standardization.2.What insights can we get from sociolinguistic?①Language is not a close and abstract system, and it is a social interaction and a conduct of communication.②Linguistic competence includes knowledge of language and knowledge of language use.③Linguistic variation and language change are closely related to the social context.3.What are the major approaches in sociolinguistic?①Linguistic sociolinguistic②Ethno-sociolinguistic③The sociology of language④The social psychology of language⑤Pragmatic sociolinguistic4.What is the interactional sociolinguistic research method?Research methods in IS involve several stages:① A preliminary period of ethnography②The main process of data collection, transcription and analysis③ A final effort of confirming the findings as consonant with current knowledge. Question 5. Please compare linguistics and sociolinguisticsLinguistics can be defined as a scientific study of language. The scope of linguistics includes at least five branches, namely, phonologic, morphologic, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic.Sociolinguistics is a kind of macro-linguistics, which shows an interdisciplinary nature between linguistics and sociology. The scope of sociolinguistic includes linguistic situation; dialects; language in communication; language attitude and its effect; language contact and language change; language planning and language standardization.6.Please compare dialectology and sociolinguistics.The study of language in society is called sociolinguistics. The real basis for much of sociolinguistics is that the differences in language among members of a speech community or between different regions speaking different varieties of the same language are often meaningful for society. Not everyone who speaks a given language speaks it in the same way. An individual's particular way of speaking is called an idiolect. Language variants spoken by entire groups of people are referred to as dialects. Dialectology is a branch of sociolinguistics that studies the systematic variants of a language. The term dialect was first coined in 1577 from the Latin dialectus, way of speaking. Dialectal variation is present in most language areas and often has important social implications.But dialectology and sociolinguistics have many differences as well:(1)Dialectology focuses on the pronunciation of the dialects, aiming at summarizing thephonology, but sociolinguistics does not necessarily do so, focusing on the linguistic variations, that is, the differences because of different statuses, different ages and different situations.(2)Both dialectologists and sociolinguists use the on-the-spot research method, but the formerwill regard the one-person-from-one-place as the standard, that is, the informant should be strictly selected without considering the aspects like age, gender, social class and so on. But the latter focuses on the different social strata and random sampling from more people and then proceed with the quantitative analysis to reach the linguistic rules.(3)Dialectologists indulge in the researches on the rural dialects and the dialects of old people,trying to find the rules of language slow changes; but sociolinguists more venture into the cities, because in cities there are more social classes, more linguistic phenomena.7. Explain the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis in your own words and give your comments.Explain:讲义答案:(1)One’s thinking is completely determined by his native language because one cannot butperceive the world in terms of the categories and distinctions encoded in the language.(2)The categories and distinctions encoded in one language system are unique to that system andincommensurable with those of other systems.strong version:The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis makes the claim that the structure of the language one habitually uses influences the manner in which one thinks and behaves.weak version:The structure does not determine the world-view but is still extremely influential in predisposing speakers of a language toward adopting a particular world-view. Comment:The strong version goes to extremes but the weak version is acceptable. Different languages may refer to certain characteristics of the real world in terms of different sub-set of characteristics. However, speakers of both languages may still be aware of all the characteristics. The way a given language encodes experience semantically makes aspects of that experience not exclusively accessible, but just more salient for the users of that language. It’s absurd to say speakers of one language cannot have access to modern scientific thought because their language doesn’t allow them to.8. Do taboo and e uphemism serve any socially useful purpose? Or are they just ‘relics of the Dark Ages’ ?Taboo and euphemism do serve some socially useful purpose.Taboo is the prohibition or avoidance in any society of behavior believed to be harmful to its members in that it would cause them anxiety, embarrassment, or shame.Standards and norms change, linguistic taboos are also violated on occasion to draw attention to oneself, or to show contempt, or to be aggressive or provocative, or to mock authority, such as “damn it”, “shit” “you bastard”, “you son of bitch”, etc.Euphemism defined as “a good interpretation of a bad word” can mainly serve five functions: avoidance of taboo, avoidance of vulgarity, politeness, deception and satire.1.Avoidance of taboo: People’s fear of death generates many euphemisms for death, such as “go Heaven/ Paradise”, “be at peace”, “return to dust/ earth”.2.Avoidance of vulgarity: we use “go to the bathroom”, “wash hands”, “go to the powder room”for “go the toilet”.3.Politeness: we use “senior citizens”, “seasoned”, “well-preserved” for “old”.4. Deception:Governments often use substandard housing (次标准房) for slum(贫民区);revenue enhancement (税收加强) for tax increase (增税)5. Satire: “live on nothing”, original ly from Vanity Fair by William Thackeray, is used as aneuphemism to satirize those stingy misers.9. What difficulty do you encounter in discussing address terms with English speaking people? Do you ever experience difficulty because your terms and theirs fail to match? And what kind of terms do you use?Chinese address system is more complex than English address system. Therefore when discussing address terms with English speaking people, Chinese people may find many terms difficult to explain.1). Usage of kinship terms. Chinese kinship system includes a variety of address terms, which have no direct equivalents in English. For example, “aunt” means “舅母”, “姑姑”, “姨娘”, “婶婶”, etc. in Chinese.2). Some Chinese terms have different meanings in different occ asions. For example, “大爷”. If you ask a rather old man for the way to some place, it is just a appellation. It can also be used to address your father’s elder brother. In the old society, it is used to address those rich males or officers, landlords.3). Chinese people favor the use of post and rank titles, but there are not enough titles matching Chinese titles in English, for example, “科长”, “4). Some unique address terms of Chinese characteristics, such as “同志”, “小”, “老”. Take “叶老” as an example. “叶老” is a respectful address term to “叶圣陶”, but we can hardly find a counterpart of “老” in English.举例说明不能匹配的称谓语,如“司令”,“排长”—直接用Mr. 表示头衔“孩子他妈"—my wife “二姑奶”—my grandpa’s second sister. In order to explain those kinship terms, we have use more words to describe the relationship.10. Define the distinction of tu and vous at work in conversation?From the pronominal choice between tu and vous forms in languages, we can see that certain linguistic choices a speaker makes indicate the social relationship that the speaker perceives to exist between him or her and the listener or listeners. Many languages have a distinction corresponding to the tu-vous (T/V) distinction in French, where grammatically there is a ‘singular you’ tu (T) and a ‘plural you’ vous (V) but the usage requires that you use vous with individuals on certain occasions. The T form is sometimes described as the ‘familiar’ form and the V form as the ‘polite’ one.The asymmetrical T/V usage such as the upper class addressed the lower classes with T but received V symbolizes a power relationship. Symmetrical V usage is ‘polite’ usage. Symmetrical T usage is to show intimacy and its use for that purpose also spread to situations in which two people agreed they had strong common interests, i.e., a feeling of solidarity, this mutual T for solidarity gradually came to replace the mutual V of politeness, since solidarity is often more important than politeness in personal relationships. Moreover, the use of asymmetrical T/V to express power decreased and mutual V was often used in its place, as between officer and soldier. Today, we can still find asymmetrical T/V uses, but solidarity has tended to replace power, so that now mutual T is found quite often in relationships which previously had asymmetrical usage, e.g., father and son, employer and employee. Tu should be used between spouses, between brothers and sisters regardless of age, between parents and children, between close relatives, between young people living or working closely together, and between adults who have a friendship of long-standing. Vous should be used between strangers, between those who have no ties of any kind, and between inferior and superior. Nowadays power is no longer as important as it once was in determining T/V usage; there has been a dramatic shift in recent years to solidarity.Different societies devise different ways of handling the T/V distinction e.g., T/V forms being differently employed in Germany, France, and Italy. English has no active T/V distinction. T/V usage is constantly involving. The evolution is not always toward solidarity and away from power. Power is still very much part of modern social structure.。

社会语言学教程期末复习材料

社会语言学教程期末复习材料第一章1.“社会语言学”这一学科名称,是由“社会学”和“语言学”复合而成的。

其基本内容包括两个方面:1)一是社会语言学,其基本涵义是:从语言的社会属性出发,用社会学的方法研究语言,从社会的角度解释语言变体和语言演变。

2)二是语言社会学,其基本涵义是:从语言变体和语言演变的事实,来解释相关的社会现象及其演变和发展的过程。

3)两者的研究方向不同,简而言之,前者从社会研究语言,后者从语言研究社会。

2.社会语言学的三位先锋:拉波夫、特鲁杰和海姆斯。

3.着重调查研究不同阶层、不同年龄、不同场合的语言差异,即语言变项。

4.《纽约市百货公司(r)的社会分层》P105.特鲁杰的方言调查P11这个世界在亚马逊河的西北部地区。

该地区一半在巴西境内,一半在哥伦比亚。

它地广人稀,面积相当于英格兰,而人口只有1万左右。

居民大多数是土著印第安人,分为20多个部落,这些部落又组成了5个部落群。

每个部落都说不同的语言——不同到相互之间无法理解的程度,也非源于同一母语。

5个部落群实行族外通婚制。

结果是一个男子的妻子肯定说一种和他不同的语言。

妻子要住在丈夫长大的地方,与子女讲话的时候必须用丈夫的语言(“语言从夫婚姻”)。

母亲不能把自己的语言交给孩子,而是把自己只不过像外国人一样所讲的一种语言教给孩子。

孩子生活在大家庭里,跟讲父亲语言的人接触较多,他们的语言没有出现“退化”现象。

问题:1、语言确定部落;2、语言显示地位;3、在一个讲X语言的部落里,有土著语使用者,也有非土著语使用者。

如果要编写X 语言的语法,语法的适用对象究竟是谁?是所有土著语言使用者(包括散落在其他部落的妇女)?还是该部落里的所有说话者,包括土著人和非土著人?语言的接触、双语现象、语码的选择等。

一个部落里会有不同语言,对语言的选择往往根据需要而定(与子女讲话的时候必须用丈夫的语言这点除外)。

要是来了客人不懂X部落的语言,而部落中有人懂客人的语言,那么,主人在跟客人讲话的时候,就会使用客人的语言。

社会语言学的知识点总结

社会语言学的知识点总结

社会语言学的知识点总结一、语言的社会功能语言在社会中具有丰富而复杂的功能,它不仅仅是一种交流工具,更是一种社会行为。

语言的社会功能主要包括交际功能、表达功能、认同功能和权力功能。

1. 交际功能:语言是人类交际的工具,通过语言可以实现信息的传递、情感的表达和意见的交流。

交际功能是语言最基本的功能,它使人们能够相互了解、合作、协调和交流。

2. 表达功能:语言可以表达个体的情感、意愿、愿望和态度。

通过语言,人们可以表达自己的个性、情感和思想,使自己在社会中得到认可和理解。

3. 认同功能:语言是人们认同和归属的标志,不同的语言和方言代表了不同的社会群体和文化社区。

通过语言,人们能够建立起自己的认同感,并与他人进行交流和互动。

4. 权力功能:语言在社会中还具有权力的功能,它能够影响人们的认知、态度和行为。

在政治、商业、媒体等领域,语言可以被用来操纵和控制人们的思想和行为。

语言的社会功能可以帮助人们更好地理解语言的使用和影响,为语言的社会学研究提供了重要的理论基础。

二、语言变化语言是一个动态的系统,它不断地发生变化和演变。

语言变化是语言中普遍存在的现象,它主要包括语音、词汇、语法和语用等方面的变化。

1. 语音变化:语音是语言的基本要素,它的变化直接影响着语言的表达和理解。

语音变化主要包括音位变化、音系变化和音位组合的变化等方面。

2. 词汇变化:词汇是语言的重要组成部分,它的变化主要体现在新词的产生、词义的演变和词汇的丰富化等方面。

词汇变化不仅受到语言内部的影响,还受到社会、文化和科技发展的影响。

3. 语法变化:语法是语言的基本结构,它的变化主要表现在句法结构的变化、时态、语态和语气的变化等方面。

语法变化反映了语言的发展和变革。

4. 语用变化:语用是语言使用的规范和约定,它的变化主要体现在语言的礼貌性、语境适应性和语用标记等方面。

语用变化反映了语言在社会互动中的灵活运用。

语言变化是语言发展的必然趋势,它反映了语言的生命力和适应能力。

第二章理论与方法学一、什么是语言变项社会语言学是怎么调查语言变项和社会变项之间的共变关系的请举例说明1、语言变项和社会变项:人们使用各种语言变体地域方言和社会方言说话人使用某些语言变项与其社会背景有关研究者必须判定哪个社会变项与某个语言变项相关:地位,性别,年龄(语言变项,社会语言学常用术语之一,英文为 Linguistic variable ,指语言变异的项目。

语音、句法、词汇都可能成为语言变项。

社会语言学奠基人拉波夫所做的纽约语言调查,其中的( r )就是语言变项。

一个语言变项一般包含几个“变式”,比如( r )变项包括两个变式,一个是( r )变式,第二个是零变式。

又如北京话中零声母 (w) ,是一个变项,它有两个变式,一个是( w) , 第二个是( v)。

)2、拉波夫( William Labov )的着名例子car, card, fourth语言变项:在元音前的辅音/r/ 发音或者不发音社会变项:地位结论:社会地位越高的人,越倾向于发出词语中的r 音。

二、拉波夫( William Labov)对纽约[r]音的调查拉波夫:探索语言变异的个别理论纽约流行的 r 音假设:假如纽约市本地人中有任何两个集团在社会分层的阶梯上处于高低不同的地位,那么他们在发 [r] 音上也会表现出相应的差异。

假设被证实:越是社会地位高的人,或越是正规的场合,就会有越高的卷舌率语言变项:发 r 音/ 不发 r 音, w/v ,公交车 / 巴士语言变项可选择音位、词素、句法、词语等各层次上的某个结构单位语言变项的独特之处在于它同相应的社会变项发生有意义的共变。

60年代前半期拉波夫运用定量分析法研究语言变量与社会变量之间的关系拉波夫感觉到下层黑人倾向不发 [r] 音做出假设:假如纽约市本地人中两个集团处于不同的社会阶层,那么他们在发 [r] 音上也会表现出相应的差异。

怎样证实这个假设呢怎么引导被试在自然状态下发出[r] 音呢1.确认这个商店第四层楼有什么商品(例如,女士鞋子)2. 走进商店,向店员询问:“ Excuse me, where are the women’ s shoes”3.店员会回答:“Fourth floor. ”4.装作没听清,继续问:“Excuse me”5.店员会重新放慢语速回答:“Fourth floor. ”6.跑到店员看不到的地方记下以下信息:商店名称,所在楼层,性别,年龄(以五年为单位估测),职业(售货员,导购员,收银员,仓库管理等),人种,(是否有)方言或异国口音在每一层楼都会询问同样问题,在第四层则问“ Excuse me, what floor is this ”一共264 位受访者,长达六个半小时。

历史比较语言学(重视历时,忽视共时)结构主义语言学(内部语言学,优先研究语言及其系统)转换生成语法学(倡导语言的“同一性” ,强调的是天生的语言能力)社会语言学(外部语言学,优先研究言语,强调的是交际能力,是后天获得的)外部原因:社会历史的一些亟待解决的问题:在美国主要是城市的政治和文化教育问题。

全球人口大流动使语言问题变得复杂。

科技发展及相关学科都在关注语言和社会的关系。

地位与作用:20世纪70年代以后,社会语言学的应用研究逐渐加强,到了20世纪80年代中期,社会语言学家特鲁杰明确提出了“应用社会语言学”这一概念。

社会语言学的应用性研究引起了学术界广泛的重视,尤其在法律语言、广告语言、医院医生的诊断语言及语言教学等领域获得了很多成果。

语音侦破技术实际上就是社会语言学的研究成果的直接运用。

法律语言的研究已经成为应用社会语言学的一大领域。

后来,包括医生如何与病人谈话等内容在内的医学语言研究,也成为与社会语言学的应用相关的研究成果。

社会语言学已经形成了庞大的研究领域,包括若干分支,如:语言社会学、语言社会心理学、话语文化学、话语定量研究、语篇分析、语言与性别研究等等,为语言学研究开创了一个广阔的新天地。

3.早期社会语言学的流派及代表人物。

1)城市方言学拉波夫2)小城镇社会方言研究特鲁杰3)言语民俗学海姆斯4.社会语言学与其他语言学的异同。

1、方言学与社会语言学同:1)研究目标:语言演变;2)研究对象:实际使用的语言异:1)理念:同质有序-异质有序;2)旨趣:共时同质-共时异质;3)目的:归纳音系-语言变项;4)方法:一地一人-定量统计;5)范围:农村地区-大中城市;6)区划:某方言区-言语社区2、社会语言学和文化语言学的关系1)社会语言学一般以一个社会内部的言语共同体的语言状况为研究对象;文化语言学除了研究社会内部的语言和文化的关系之外,还要研究比较不同的社会的文化类型和语言类型。

2)社会语言学主要关心语言的现状,只有在说明语言的社会变异的前因后果时,才涉及它们的历史;文化语言学更重视语言和文化的历史发展过程(词源、字源与文化史的关系)。

3)社会语言学主要关心的是言语交际方式的选择及其社会条件和社会意义,而不大关心语言结构体系本身。

文化语言学则对语言结构系统和言语交际行为两方面都给予同样的重视。

4)社会语言学把言语交际活动看作一种社会行为,重点研究言语行为规范与其他行为规范之间的相互关系;文化语言学则把这些内容归入语言与文化的制度层次和心理层次的相互关系。

文化语言学不仅要研究上述内容,而且还研究语言与物质文化、精神文化的相互关系。

6.社会语言学的研究方法。

要想全面了解语言的面貌,就必须对语言进行详细、系统的调查,特别是要对语言内部的语音、词汇、语法等特点及各种内部差异,亲自到各地去口问、耳听、手记,作语言静态和动态的描写工作,这就是语言的田野调查,也是语言调查的基本方法。

一、多人次抽样调查二、快速隐秘调查法三、定量、定性分析7.对外汉语教学的学科性质、目的、任务等。

性质:对外汉语教学是一种第二语言教学,即外语教学。

1)对外汉语教学是语言教学。

语言教学的根本任务是教语言,使学习者掌握汉语这一交际工具,教授的是语言运用的技能,语言教学必然涉及并包括一定的文化内容,但对外汉语教学中的文化因素只能包含于语言教学之中。

2)对外汉语教学是一种第二语言的教学。

这个性质将对外汉语教学与汉语作为母语的教学区分开来。

对外汉语教学的目标、方法和教学侧重点与母语教学完全不同。

3)对外汉语教学是汉语作为第二语言的教学。

对外汉语教学一方面受第二语言教学的普遍规律的制约,同时也受汉语本身的规律的制约。

4)对外汉语教学是针对外国人的第二语言教学。

这与国内的少数民族的汉语教学有所不同。

对外汉语教学中的社会、文化因素必须予以足够的重视。

目的:对外汉语教学的根本目的:培养学习者运用汉语进行交际的能力。

培养外国汉语学习者用汉语进行社会交际的能力。

简单地说,就是培养汉语交际能力。

1)语言是交际工具,教语言就是要让学习者掌握这个工具。

2)学习者学习第二语言的目的是为了进行交际。

3)社会发展的需要,国家之间联系密切,人员交流往来越来越多。

所以,对外汉语教学的过程中必须重视培养学生的言语交际能力。

任务:1)汉语作为第二语言教学的原理;2)教学的全过程;(包括了总体设计、教材编写、课堂教学、测试评估四大步骤)3)教学体系中各种因素的相互关系和相互作用;4)教学规律和学习规律;5)并在此基础上制订出对外汉语教学的基本原则和方法,用以指导教学实践,提高教学效率和教学水平。

8.偏误分析理论和方法偏误分析就是对学生学习第二语言过程中所犯的偏误进行分析,从而发现第二语言学习者产生偏误的规律,包括偏误的类型和偏误产生的原因等。

它作为一种理论和研究方法,在第二语言习得研究中具有十分重要的意义。

9.对外汉语教学的基本类型。

1、汉语言专业教育(学历教育)汉语言专业教学属于专业教育类型,是专门为母语为非汉语的学习者设立的一个语言专业,是指对外汉语教学的专业学历教育。

汉语言专业教学兼有专业教育和第二语言教学这两类不同性质的属性,但其根本属性还是专业教育。

汉语言专业教育包括基础教学和专业教学这两个不同阶段。

作为一个应用型语言专业,其专业基础教学阶段的主要任务就是要解决学生的语言水平和语言能力的问题,其教学的基本目标就是要使学生具有较高的听说读写能力,具备在中国各高校入系学习本科专业的语言能力;专业教学阶段的主要任务和教学目标既有对语言能力的要求,又有对专业知识和更广泛的素质方面的要求。

2、汉语进修教育(非学历教育)汉语进修教学属于非学历教育类型,是专门为母语为非汉语的学习者来华进行汉语的系统学习而设置的一个对外汉语教学类型。

汉语进修教学具有全面性、系统性和多等级的特点。

汉语进修教学需要重点解决的两个问题,一是教学内容的系统化和学习的阶段性矛盾;二是如何测定学习者入学时的汉语水平。

3、汉语短期教学(非学历教育)汉语短期教学属于非学历教育类型,是专门为短期来华学习的外国人或海外华人华侨设置的一个教学门类。

在总体上是一个模式多样化并不断进行自我更新的教学类型。

汉语短期教学具有短期、强化、速成的特点,力求在较短的时间里让学习者尽可能多地掌握汉语知识和技能。

在具体的教学实践中短期教学体现为不同的内容模式,可以概括为以下几种类型:1)侧重某种技能的教学。

2)以情景—话题为中心的教学。

3)以意念—功能为中心的教学。

4)以常用句型和词汇为主教学。

5)语言学习与文化游览相结合的教学。

4、汉语速成教学(非学历教育)汉语速成教学是对外汉语教学中的一个特殊的教学类型,是专门为具有强化速成学习需求的、母语为非汉语的学习者设置的一个教学门类。

概括地说,汉语速成教学就是为了达成某项确定的、较高的教学目标,通过实施教学最优化手段,充分挖掘教学中的各项潜能而实现的一种高效率教学。

具有高目标、高强度、高效率的特点。

10.教案设计1.教案的构成要素课题教学内容目的要求教学重点教学时数教具准备教学环节(重中之重)板书设计教学后记2.教案撰写的注意事项1) 教学目的、要求陈述学习者的学习结果,力求明确、具体,可以观察和测量;要反映学习结果的理解、记忆和运用三个层次。

2) 从复习旧课到布置作业时教学过程中的五大环节,每个环节需花多少时间应大致框定。

3) 讲解新课的教学步骤要依据语言信息、智慧技能、认知策略等认知心理过程来安排和组合。

4) 语法规则的举例一般需补充典型例句、一般例句、复杂例句和变式例句等,都要事先拟就。

5) 课堂提问需有计划地周密设计,所拟问题应尽可能有连贯性、启发性,并给学习者创造性发挥的机会和余地。

上课准备发问的问题连同参考答案要写进教案。

6) 文化内容讲什么,怎么讲,要事先考虑成熟,重点和关键语句要写进教案。

7) 作业的布置要在教案中注明在教材中的何处,或附上补充练习题。

8) 教案执行完毕,要写执教记录。
