第1章导言课后习题详解Check your understanding.State whether each of the following statements is True or False.(1) There is universal agreement about the origin of language.【答案】F(2) Pet dogs can speak human language.【答案】F(3) All human infants can speak some language.【答案】F(4) By creativity we mean the creative use of language as often practiced by poets. 【答案】F(5) With different cultures there will be different languages.【答案】F(6) Not all uses of language are meant to convey new information.【答案】TIn-Class Activities1. “Language”, like “yuyan”in Chinese, is used for different meanings in different contexts, as shown below:a. Chinese is a language.b. Linguistics is the systematic study of language.e. Both Jane and John like Shakespeare’s language.d. the language of beesAsk(1) What does “language” mean in each of the contexts?Key: a. a natural language; language in particular.b. a human-specific tool for communication; language in general.c. individual style of language use.d. a metaphorical way of referring to bees’ system of communication.(2) Is there any other context in which the use of the word means something else?Key: Yes. Example: language for the computer like C+.2. There is a well-known story in the Bible that reflects the importance of language in human society. According to the Old Testament, mankind spoke only one language until Nimrod began to build a tower that was to reach heaven. The Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand each other’s speech.”Ask(1) What if there were no language?Key: If there were no language, human beings could not communicate with each other, the experience of great persons and the process of history could not be documented. All in all, without language, the society can not move forward.(2) What if there were only one language the world over?Key: It would be much more convenient for human beings to communicate with each other; however, on the other hand, there could not be such a prosperous development of different cultures.(3) What can we learn from this Bible story?Key: Language is powerful as a tool of human communication.3. The course of linguistics is aimed at bringing our conscious attention to language, something with which we are very familiar and which, paradoxically, we find strange. For instance, language is said to be creative. Consider the following two statements:a. I learned a new word yesterday.b. I learned a new sentence yesterday.Ask(1) Do you think the two statements are equally probable, and if not, why not?Key: (a) is more likely than (b), since as the basic unit of meaning, the word can occur independently in language is finite in number, whereas as composed of words ,the sentence, though is almost infinite in number, is madepossible by our knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. We can always produce and understand sentences that we never come across before. In that sense, no sentence is absolutely new.(2) In what context do we make the second statement?Key: When we focus our attention on the meaning of a sentence or when we are concerned with the form of a sentence as found in a language class.4. The following English words are what we call onomatopoeic words, words that are characterized by a natural correspondence between their physical property (like sound or form) and their content or meaning:bang; bark; crash; hissAsk(1) Are there onomatopoeic words in Chinese?Key: Yes. e.g.“哗啦”、“扑通”、“喀嚓”.(2) Does the existence of onomatopoeic words overthrow the claim that language is arbitrary?Key: No. Onomatopoeic words account for a very limited percentage in the vocabulary of a language5. The arbitrary nature of language does not suggest that individuals can use a language arbitrarily. In fact, once the members of a community agree on the meaning of words, they are supposed to abide by the convention. Look at thefollowing cartoon:Ask(1) Can one really invent a language of one’s own?Key: No.(2) If not, why?Key: A language comes into being and is used by convention or agreement among its speakers.6. Before the middle of the eighteenth century, theories of the beginning of language were widely discussed. According to these early theories, man was created almost instantaneously and speech was provided to him as a divine gift at the moment of creation. So goes the story of the Garden of Eden. God created Adam and speech simultaneously. God spoke with Adam and Adam answered him. The language they used was Hebrew.Andreas Kemke, a Swedish philologist, asserted that in the garden of Eden, God spoke Swedish, Adam spoke Danish, and the serpent spoke French. Goropius Becanus, a Dutch theorist, asserted that the language of the Garden was Dutch.The Egyptians considered themselves the oldest civilization, and therefore the original language was Egyptian.On the assumption that babies, if left alone, will grow up speaking “the original”language, Psammetichus (6 B. C.) had two babies taken at random from an ordinary family and given to a servant to raise. He ordered the servant not to speak a word to the babies. When they were two years old, the children one day abruptly greeted the servant with “Bekos!” The servant immediately reported this to Psammetichus. The king checked with his counselors, who informed him that “bekos”meant “bread”in Phrygian. So in true “scientific”spirit, Psammetichus announced that Phrygian was the original language.Ask(1) Is there any basic flaw in this experiment?Key: The process is not strictly controlled. There may have been some coincidence. The sample size is too small for the experiment to be valid. (2) Do you think we really can answer the question about the beginning of language?Key: No, at least in the present condition where/when we cannot perform experiments on the human brain, the key organ of speech.7. Below are samples of speech from children at three different stages in their acquisition process.。

第2章英语语音课后习题详解Check your understanding.State whether each of the following statements is True or False.(1) [i:] and [i] are allophones of the same phoneme.【答案】F(2) Not all English phonemes have allophones.【答案】T(3) The same set of vowels is used in all languages.【答案】F(4) All syllables must contain at least one vowel.【答案】F(5) The marking of word stress is arbitrary for the most part in English.【答案】F(6) English is a tone language.【答案】FIn-Class Activities1. In order to discover the phonemes used in the sound system of a language, scholars once designed a method based on the notion of minimal pairs, like “pat”vs. “fat”. Three requirements were proposed for identifying a minimal pair: (1) the two words are different in meaning; (2) the two words are different because of just one phoneme; and (3) the phonemes that make the two words different occur in the same phonetic environment. By phonetic environment we mean the sound(s) preceding and that/those following it, e. g. the phonetic environment of [I] in [pit] is [p_t] and that of [P] is [#_it] (#stands for a word or syllable boundary). The contrasting sounds in words forming a minimal pair are said to be in contrastive distribution, as in [bit] vs. [beit] and [pit] vs. [bit].Ask(1) What is the phonetic environment of [t] in [pit] ?Key: [i_](2) Are the following pairs of words minimal pairs?a. desk vs. task;b. leave vs. leakKey: a. No.b. Yes. ( li:v vs. li:k )2. Allophones as the realizations of the same phoneme are technically said to be in complementary distribution; in other words, they are found in different phonetic environments. For instance, the allophones of the phoneme /l/, clear [l] and dark [?], occur as follows:Clear [1]: occurs before vowels or after initial consonant(s) like /b/, /s/, /k/, //,/f/, /p/, /sp/.Dark [?]: occurs elsewhere.Ask(1) Characterize how the allophones of the phoneme/k/are complementarily distributed.Key: [k h ] in initial position; [k]after /s/; [k¬] in final position.(2) Is there any other way of characterizing the complementary distribution of clear [l] and dark [?]?Key: [l] before vowels; [ł] elsewhere.3. A phoneme can be further analyzed into a set of distinctive features. For example, /p/is defined as composed of such distinctive features as [plosive] + [bilabial] + [breathed] because each of them can distinguish/p/from some other phonemes. However, the property of aspiration contained in the allophone [P h] does not distinguish of meaning and therefore is not a distinctive feature in this case. Ask(1) What distinctive feature makes/f/and/v/different?Key: [voiced].(2) Can you specify the distinctive features for the following phonemes?a. /y/;b. /k/;c. /n/Key: a. /y/ [fricative] + [voiceless] + [palatal]b. /k/ [velar] + [voiceless] + [plosive]c. /n/ [nasal] + [voiced] + [alveolar]4. Suppose the distribution of [r] and [l] in the following words is characteristic of Korean: rupi; “ruby”; mul; “water”; kiri; “road”; pal; “leg”; saram; “person”; səul; “Seoul”; ratio; “radio”; ipalsa; “barber”(1) Are [r] and [l] in complementary distribution? In what environment does each occur?Key: Yes. [r] occurs before vowels; [l] occurs after vowels.(2) Do they occur in any minimal pairs?Key: No.(3) Suppose that [r] and [l] are allophones of one phoneme. State the rule that can derive the allophonic forms.Key: [r] is lateralized when it occurs after vowels.5. A sound may change by assimilating/copying a feature of a sequential/ neighboring sound; e. g. [] is realized as [], [] and [] respectively in “impossible”, “irresistible “, and “ illegal “ This is what we call the assimilation rule. Assimilation, particularly noticeable in ordinary conversational speech, occurs in a variety of contexts. For example, when you tell someone “I can go”, the influence of the following velar [] will almost certainly make the preceding nasal sound In [] come out as [] (a velar) rather than [] (an alveolar). Notice also that the vowel in “can” has also changed to schwa []from the isolated-word version [] through the process of weakening.Ask(1) Can you give more examples of assimilation?Key: compatriot, sing.(2) Can you find any exceptions?Key: input, unbeatable, Canberra.Now, study the following dialect of English carefully. There seems to be a predictable variant [] of the diphthong [].(3) What phonetic segments condition this change?Key: The consonant immediately after the vowel.6. If two sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of one sound for another does not cause a change of meaning, they are said to be in free variation. For example, “economics” can be read as both[] and []. Here, // and //are in free distribution.Ask:(1) Can you give more examples of free variation?Key: advertisement [əd΄və:tismənt] [əd΄və:tizmənt]; association [əsəusi΄eiʃən] [əsəu i΄eiən](2) Why do you think such a phenomenon exists in a language like English?Key: Individual variation is responsible for this phenomenon.7. A certain sound in words like “sign”, “design” and “resign” may be deleted even though it may be orthographically represented, while their corresponding nominal forms, namely “signature”, “designation” and “resignation”, involve the articulation of the sound. The process involved here is the deletion rule.Ask(1) Which sound is deleted in “sign”, “design” and “resign”?Key: [g](2) Can you offer other examples of deletion?Key: paradigm (atic), condemn(ation)(3) Can you give some words that involve total deletion?Key: plumb, plumber; climb, climbing(4) Are there any other types of deletion in English?Key: debt, know8. English has a number of expressions such as “chit-chat” and “flip-flop” which never seem to occur in the reverse order (i.e. chat-chit, flop-flip). Here are more。

The meaning of “and” in English seems to be rather diversified in different contexts. Compare:a. The film is long and boring.b. Jane found John was handsome and fell in love with him.c. Jane called John and told him the news.Ask(1) How would you interpret “and” in each of the cases?Key: In a, “and” is a pure conjunction that coordinates two parts. In b, “and”signals cause-effect relation. In c, “and” indicates the sequence of events, meaning “and then”.(2) Do you vote for the argument that “and” is polysemous, or the argument that“and” has just one basic meaning and the other “meanings” areimplicatures derived from the context?Now, focus on the use of “or” in English:d. His birthday is in June or July.e. For the new post, a diploma in mathematics or computer science is a must.Key: “and” has one basic meaning. Other interpretations are derived from this basic meaning plus contextual information by way of implicature.(3) It seems that “or” has two conflicting meanings. What are they? Do you thinkone meaning is basic and the other is derivable in context by virtue ofimplicature?Key: They are exclusive “or” and inclusive “or”. The inclusive “or” is more basic. The exclusive “or” is realized by way of implicature.2. Being underinformative or overinformative in daily conversation is not rare. When either happens, some implicature is intended. Look at the followingfragment of talk:Jane: What’s your stepmother like?John: She’s a woman and she married my father.Ask(1) What does John want to say in actuality?Key: The stepmother is no good.(2) Why does John answer that way, you suppose?Now consider the following:Jane: When did you come back last night?John: Two o’clock in the morning. The meeting was just too long.Key: He does not want to say directly that his stepmother is bad.(3) What does John imply in the second part of his reply?Key: He did not mean to be late.(4) Why does John give that additional information?Public signs and ads also employ additional information sometimes. Look at the following pictures:Key: He wants to explain why he was late so that Jane would pardon him, if she minded.(5) What is the extra information in each of the cases?Key: In the first picture, the additional information is that “there is ice falling”.In the second picture, the additional information is “Heart disease is the#1 killer of African Americans”.
