词汇学知识点Chapter 1-3

Chapter 1 Basic concepts of words and vocabulary1.1 A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function.1.2 - Vocabulary: refers to all the words in a language, and all the words of a particular historical period, a given dialect, a given book, a given discipline and the words possessed by an individual person. The general estimate of the present-day English vocabulary is over 1 million words.1.3 - Sound and Meaning: symbolic connection is almost always arbitrary and conventional.A dog is called a dog not because the sound and the three letters that make up the word just automatically suggest the animal in question.1.4 Sound and FormEnglish→ Phonetic language表音文字- Chinese→Ideographic language 表意文字The reasons for the inconsistency between sound and form1) More sounds than form2) Another reason is that the pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years, and in some cases the two have drawn far apart.3) A third reason is that some of the differences were created by the early scribes. e.g. women, luve→love4)Finally comes the borrowing, which is an important channel of enriching the English vocabulary. e.g. cliché, debut1.5 classifications of words1.5.1 - The basic word stock基本词汇is the foundation of the vocabulary accumulated over centuries and forms the common core of the language. Though words of the basic word stock constitute a small percentage of the English vocabulary, yet it is the most important part of it. These words have obvious characteristics.1.5.1.1 characteristics of basic word stock1)All national character. 全民性Words of the basic word stock denote the most common things and phenomena of the world around us, which are indispensable to all the people who speak the language. Most important of all featuresNatural phenomena/Human body and relations/Names of plants and animals/Action, size, domain, state/Numerals, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions e.g. rain, foot, hand, and2) Stability.稳定性Words of the basic word stock have been in use for centuries.3) Productivity . 能产性Words of the basic word stock are mostly root words or monosyllabic words. They can each be used alone, and at the same time can form new words with other roots and affixes. e.g. dog, foot4)Polysemy. 多义性Words belonging to the basic word stock often possess more than one meaning because most of them have undertone semantic changes in the course of use and become polysemous. e.g. take, grey5) Collocability . 搭配性Many words of the basic word stock quite a number of set expressions, idiomatic usages, proverbial sayings and the like. e.g. heart1.5.2 Non-basic word stock非基本词汇1) Terminology 术语consists of technical terms used in particular disciplines and academic areas . e.g. penicillin, sonata, lexicology2) Jargon行话refers to the specialized vocabularies by which members of particular arts, sciences, trades and professions communicate among themselves such as in business.e.g. bottom line3) Slang俚语Common words with slang meaning(Unconventional use of the standard vocabulary) Slang is colorful, blunt, expressive and impressive. Sub-standard, popular used between friends in informal conversation. e.g. fat cats有钱人, jailbait4) Argot 黑话暗语generally refers to the jargon of criminals. e.g. dip (pick-pocket)5) Dialectal words方言are words used only by speakers of the dialect in question. e.g. auld lang syne (Scottish)6)Archaisms古语are words or forms that were once in common use but are now restricted only to specialized or limited use., like p oetry, legal documents, religious writing, business to create Solemn, formal, accurate, authoritative effect. e.g. quoth, perchance, thee7)Neologisms新词are newly-created words or expressions, or words that have taken on new meanings. e.g. blog, showrooming1.5.3 Function words功能词,虚词(empty/form words): grammatical meaning (conj. prep. aux. articles); small and permanent /stable set of words(154 words); Mostly used words.Content words: lexical meanings (n. a. adv. v.) an open list, numerous1.5.4 Native words本族语词are words brought to Britain in the fifth century by the German tribes; the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, thus known as Anglo-Saxon words. Features: Neutral in style. they are not stylistically specific. Frequent in use.Words taken over from foreign languages are known as borrowed words or loan words or borrowings借词in simple terms. It is estimated that English borrowings constitute 80 percent of the modem English vocabulary.Four manners of borrowing1)Denizen同化词Early; well assimilated; conform to the English way of pronunciation and spelling指早期借入其拼写和读音完全符合本族语词规范的借词.e.g. porc→pork, skipta→shift2) Aliens are borrowed words which have retained their original pronunciation and spelling. These words are immediately recognizable as foreign in origin. e.g. bazaar, Kowtow3) translation loans译借词are borrowed words formed from the existing material in the English language but modeled on the patterns taken from another language. 是利用英语中现有的语言材料但模仿另一种语言模式而构成的词 a.. Word translated according to the meaning (literal translation) e.g. long time no see . b. Words translated according to the sound(Transliteration) e.g. ketchup, Confucius4) Semantic-loans.语义借词Words of this category are not borrowed with reference to the form. But their meanings are borrowed. In other words, English has borrowed a new meaning for an existing word in the language.指受另一种语言中相关词语的影响而借进新义的词。

In modern times , this is the most important way of vocabulary expansion .(2)Semantic change means an old form which takes on a new meaning to meet he new need . This does not increase the number of word forms but increases many more new usages of the words, thus enriching the vocabulary .(3)Borrowing has played a vital role in the development of vocabulary , particularly in earlier times. Though still at work now, it can hardly compare with what it did in the past.。

English Lexicology(I)
3.1 Free and Bound Morphemes
Types of bound morphemes
Affixes(词缀): Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function. According to the functions of affixes, we can put them into two groups: inflectional and derivational affixes.

English Lexicology(I)
1. Morphemes
A word is the smallest unit of a language that stands alone to communicate meaning. Structurally, however, a word is not the smallest unit because many words can be separated into smaller meaningful units. Words are composed of morphemes. What is usually considered a single word in English may be composed of one or more morphemes.

Introduction 部分:Lexicology 这门课算哪一种学科的分支: Lexicology is a branch of linguistics.Lexicology和那些重要的学科建立了联系: 1)Morphology 2) Semantics 3) Stylistics 4) Etymology 5) Lexicography研究lexicology 的两大方法:1) Diachronic approach : 历时语言学2) Synchronic approach : 共时语言学e.g. wife纵观历时语言学的方法论,woman 词义的变化算是词义变化的哪一种模式?Woman 的词义的变化算Narrowing or specialization第一章:What is word ?词具有哪些特点?词的特点也就是对词的名词解释。

1) A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound, meaning and syntactic function.2) A sound unity or a given sound ;3) a unit of meaning;4) a form that can function alone in a sentence.以上词的四个特点也就是词的名词解释词的分类(classification of a word)词根据发音可以分为哪两种词?或者说词根据拼写可以分为哪两类词?1) simple words 2) complex words单音节词例子:e.g. Man and fine are simple多音节词例子:e.g. Management, misfortune, blackmail management 可以次划分为manage 和 -ment misfortune 可以次划分为mis- 和 fortune blackmail 次划分为black 和 mailWhat is the relationship between sound and meaning?1)There is …no logical relationship between the sound and actual thing.e.g. dog. cat2)The relationship between them is conventional.3) In different languages the same concept can be represented bydifferent sounds.What is relationship between sound and form?1)The written form of a natural language is the written record ofthe oral form. Naturally the written form should agree with the oralform, such as English language.2)This is fairly true of English in its earliest stage i.e. Old English3)With the development of the language, more and more differencesoccur between the two.What are the great changes that causes illogical relationship orirregularity between sound and form?1) The internal reason for this is that the English alphabet wasadopted from the Romans, which does not have a separate letter torepresent each sound in the language so that some letters must dodouble duty or work together in combination.2) Another reason is that the pronunciation has changed more rapidlythan spelling over the years, and in some cases the two have drawn farapart.3) A third reason is that some of the differences were created by theearly scribes.4) Finally comes the borrowing, which is an important channel ofenriching the English vocabulary.要记住以上四句话中的关键词:1) influenced by Romans2) Pronunciation changed3) early scribes4) borrowing你能不能举出外来语对英语发音、拼写造成不一致的例子有哪些?e.g. stimulus (L) ,fiesta (Sp) ,eureka (Gr), kimono (Jap)外来语对英语造成的最大的影响就是…sound and form ‟不一致。

In fact, more than twenty-five percent of modern English words come almost directly from classical languages. 事实上,现代英语词汇 中有 25%以上几乎是直接从古典语言中直接介入的 (WBD)。 In modern English, word endings were mostly lost with just a few exceptions. It can be concluded that English has evolved from a synthetic language (Old English) to the present analytic language.在现代英语中,除了少数几个 词之外,词尾几乎都消失了。可以这样说,英语已 从古英语的综合型语言发展成了现在的分析型语言 。

The Development of the English Vocabulary英语词汇的发展In the study of words, it is important to know about the origin and growth of the vocabulary. The vocabulary of the language develops as the language develops. The English language is not theBut where does it come from? Why is it known as English? In what way is English related to other languages? What is the size of the vocabulary of the first settlers殖民者? How has it developed into what is now a huge modern vocabulary? This chapter will give an answer to all these questions.2.1 The Indo-European Language Family印欧语系It is assumed that the world has approximately 3,000(some put it 5,000) languages, which can be grouped into roughly 300 language families on the basis of similarities in their basic word stock and grammer. The Indo-European is one of them. It is made up of most of the languages of Europe, the Near East, and India. The prehistoric Ingo-European parent language is thought to be a highly inflected language. It was a language in which the various forms of a given word showed its relationship to other words in a sentence When groups of this language moved away from the original homeland, believed to be somewhere in the easternmost part of Europe, the language of each group grew and developed along different lines in much the same way that American and Australian English now show differences from the language of England. Over very long periods of complete isolation from each other these dialects of a single language changed so much that they became separate languages. Speakers of one were not understood by speakers of another.假定世界上有将近三千(一些人说是五千)种语言,可以在词储和语法相似的基础上分为将近300个语系。

• Affixes
• Affix is a “collective term for type of formative that can be used only when added to another morpheme.” Affixes, therefore, are considered bound morphemes. • ----Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word

2.3.1 Free morphemes and bound morphemes
• Free morphemes

----A free morpheme is one that can be uttered alone with meaning. ----Free morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences ,i.e., free roots(自由词根). ----A free morpheme is a word, in traditional sense.

2.1 Morphemes
• The morpheme is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit of language, not divisible or analyzable into smaller forms. • The morpheme denotes the smallest units or the minimum distinctive feature of some class of things. • A morpheme is also two-facet language unit which possess both sound and meaning.

• Morphological structure of the word

----The internal structural of words and rule by which words are formed. ----A word is the smallest unit of a language that stands alone to communicate meaning. Structurally ,however, a word is not the smallest unit because many words can be separated into smaller meaningful units. Words are composed of morphemes.
• ----Inflectional elements and affixes are bound morphemes. • ----They have attached meaning (un-kind, hope-ful) or grammatical meaning (cat-s, slowly, walk -ing, call-ed). They are also called grammatical morphemes.
2.3 Classifications of morphemes • In general ,there are two main types of classification of morphemes:

----Free morphemes and bound morphemes
----Roots and affixes
• Derivational affixes
----Affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. They can be further divided to prefixes and suffixes.

• Inflectional affixes
----Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional , thus known as inflectional morpheme.

2.2 Allomor---any of variant forms of a morpheme as conditioned by position or adjoining sounds. Different forms of the same morpheme. (An allomorph is one of two or more complementary morphs which manifest a morpheme in its different phonological or morphological environments.)
elements to modify meaning or function.
• According to the functions of affixes , affixes may be divided into inflectional (屈折词素) and derivational (派生词素) types.


• Bound morphemes

----A bound morpheme cannot stand by itself as a complete utterance ;it must appear with at least one other morpheme ,free or bound.
• Roots are either free or bound

----Free roots: In English, many roots are free morphemes ,such as boy, walk etc. Free roots, just like simple words, belong to the word-stock. ----Bound roots: Quite a number of roots derived from foreign sources, especially from Greek and Latin, belong to the class of bound morphemes, such as tain in words like contain, detain.
2.3.2 Roots and affixes
• Roots , i.e., root morphemes

----A root is the basic unchangeable part of a word ,and it conveys the main lexical meaning of the word.
