Unit 1 invitations to linguistics1.Design features of language:The design features: the distinctive features of human language that essentially make human language distinguishable from languages of animals●Arbitrariness➢The absence of any physical correspondence between linguistic signals and the entities to which they refer. / The forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationshipto their meaning.✓Arbitrariness relationship between the sound of a morpheme and its meaning.(e.g. murmurous / murderous)✓Arbitrariness at the syntactic levelFunctionalists hold that the most strictly arbitrary level of language existed inthe distinctive units of sounds by which we distinguish pairs of words like pinand bin, or fish and dish.(e.g. As the night fell, the wind rose.)✓Arbitrariness and conventionConvention: it is an idiom------it is a convention to say things like this way.(When in Rome, do as romans do.)●Duality:➢The structural organization of language into two abstract levels: meaningful units (words and phrase) and meaningless segments(sound and letters)➢The secondary units are meaningless and the primary units are meaningful.✓Traffic light system does not have duality: it cannot be divided into meaningless units, so it only has primary level like animals.➢ A large number of meaningful units can be formed out of a small number of elements----productive power.●Creativity➢The speaker is able to combine the basic linguistic units to form an infinite set of sentences, most of which are never before produced or heard.➢It’s potential to create endless sentences. (recursiveness)●DisplacementThe ability of language enable their users symbolize objects, events an d concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication.2.Origin of language●The “bow-bow” theory: imitating of animal calls in wild environment●The “pooh-pooh” theory: they utter instinctive sounds of pain, anger and joy.●The “yo-he-yo” theory: as primitive people worked together, they produced some rhythmicgrunts which gradually developed into chants and then into language.3.Functions of language:●Informative function: to tell and to give something out●Interpersonal function: (人际功能) by which people establish and maintain their status ina society.➢For example, the way in which people address others and refer to themselves.Dear Sir……●Performative function: the performative function of language is primarily to change thesocial status of persons, such as in marriage ceremonies, the sentencing of criminals andcursing of enemies●Emotive function: (also called expressive function) uttered without any purpose ofcommunicating to others, but essentially a verbal response to a person’s own feeling.●Phatic communion:➢It refers to social interaction of language.➢Broadly speaking it refers to expressions that help define and maintain interpersonal relations, such as slangs, jokes, jargon…….●Recreational function: The use of language for hearty joy of using it.●Metalingual function:➢Our language can be used to talk about itself. (self-reflexive) we human beings can talk about talking and can think about thinking.➢For example: To be honest, to make a long story short, in a word.4.Main branches of linguistics:●PhoneticsIt studies speech sound, including the production of speech, the description andclassification of speech sounds, words and connected speech……●Phonology➢It is the study of a subset of those sounds that constitute language and meaning.➢It studies the rules governing the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds and shape of syllables.●Morphology➢It is concerned with the internal organization of words.➢For example: The dog sees the rabbit. In English, different order gives different meaning. However, in Latin and also in Russian, dog and rabbit take on somemorphological endings depending on whether they are subject or object. So, differentsentence order did not change its meaning.●Syntax➢It is about principles of forming and understanding correct English sentences.➢For example:✓The children watched [the firework from the hill].✓The children watched [the firework] [from the hill].●Semantics➢Examine how meaning is encoded in a language.➢It is not only concerned with meanings of words as lexical items, but also with levels of language below words and above it, such as meaning of morphemes and sentences.●PragmaticsThe study of meaning in context.5.Macrolinguistics●Psycholinguistics (心理语言学)It investigates the interrelation of language and mind, in processing and producingutterances and in language acquisition for example.●Sociolinguistics (社会语言学)It is the study of the characteristics of language varieties, the characteristics of theirfunctions, and the characteristics of their speakers as these three constantly interact andchange within a speech community.●Anthropological linguistics (人类语言学)Anthropological linguist are concerned with the emergence of language and also thedivergence of language over thousands of years.●Computational linguistics (计算机语言学)The use of computers to process or produce human language.6.Important distinctions in linguistics●Descriptive and descriptive➢The distinction lies in prescribing how things are and how things ought to be.➢Descriptive:✓To make an objective and systematic account of patterns and use of a language or variety.✓People don’t say X.➢Prescriptive:✓To make authoritarian statement about the correctness of a particular use of language.✓Don’t say X●Synchronic and diachronic➢Synchronic (共时)✓Said of an approach that studies language at a theoretical “point” of time.✓For example: the structure of Shakespeare’s English.➢Diachronic (历时)✓Said of the study of development of language and languages over time.✓For example: Pejorative sense development in English●Langue and parole➢Langue✓The language system shared by a “speech community”➢Parole✓The concrete utterances of a speaker.●Competence and performance➢Competence✓Unconscious knowledge of the system of grammatical rules in a language.➢Performance✓The language actually used by people in speaking and writing.Unit 2 phonetics and phonology1.The major branches of phonetics:●Articulatory phoneticsThe study of production of speech sounds●Auditory phoneticsIt studies the sounds from the hearer’s point of view, that is, the sound perceived by thehearer.●Acoustic phoneticsIt studies the physical properties of the sounds produced in speech.2.Speech organs●Inside the throat: pharynx and larynx●Inside the oral cavity: upper lip, upper teeth, the alveolar ridge, the hard palate and thesoft palate, and the uvula.●The bottom part of the mouth contains the lower lip, lower teeth, the tongue and themandible(下颔).●In phonetics: the tongue is divided into five parts: the tip, the blade, the front, the backand the root.●In phonology: the tongue is divided into coronal(tip and blade), dorsal(front and back)and radical(root)3.Manner of articulation (a picture is added here)●Stops:The sound is produced when the obstruction is complete, and the sound is produced whenthe obstruction audibly released and the air passing out against.●NasalsThe sound is produced by lowing the soft palate and the air pass through the nose.●Fricatives:It refers to sound produced when an obstruction is partial and the air is forced through anarrow passage in the mouth, so as to cause definite local frication at the point.●AffricativesIt refers to the sound produced when obstruction, complete at first, is released slowly withthe frication resulting from partial obstruction.●ApproximantsOne articulator is close to another but without the vocal tract narrow to cause a turbulent.●LateralsThe obstruction of airstream is at a point along the center of oral tract, with incompleteclosure between one or both sides of the tongue and the roof of the mouth.●TrillIt is produced when an articulator is set vibrating by air stream, such as /r/ in red.●TapWhen the tongue makes a single tap against the alveolar ridge to produce only one vibrate.●FlapIt is produced when the tip of the tongue curled up and back in a retroflex gesture an thenstriking the roof of the mouth in the post-alveolar region as it returns to its position behindthe lower front teeth.4.Place of articulation:It refers to wherein the vocal tract there is approximation, narrowing or the obstruction of the air.5.Vowels:V owels are sounds produced without obstruction, so no turbulence or a total stopping of the air can be perceived.6.The criteria of the vowel ( a picture is added here)●The height of the tongue raising: high, mid, low●The position of highest part of the tongue: front, central, back●The length or tenseness of the tongue: long or short; tense or lax●The shape of the lips: rounded and unrounded7.Monophthongs diphthongs and tripthongs●They are those pure vowels with unchanging quality●If a single movement from one element of the tongue is involved, the combining vowel iscalled diphthongs●If two movements from one element to second, from the second to the third of the tongueis involved, the combining vowel is called tripthongs.8.CoarticulationIt refers to the process of simultaneous or overlapping articulations when sounds show the influence of their neighbors.●Anticipatory coarticulation: the sound becomes more like the following sound, such as inthe case lamb●Preservative coarticulation: the sound becomes more like the preceding sound, such as inthe case of map9.Narrow transcription and broad transcription:●Narrow transcription: we try to symbolize all the possible speech sounds, including eventhe minutest shades of pronunciation. It contains a set of diacritics.10.Phonological theory:●Minimal pairs➢When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment in the same place in strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair ➢For example, pin and pen; tip and tap●Phone, phoneme, and allophones➢Phone: it is a basic unit of phonetic study, and it is a minimal sound segment that human speech organs can produce.➢Phoneme: it is a basic unit of phonological study, and it is an abstract collection of phonetic features. For example, /t/ /d/……➢The different realization of the same phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the allophones of that phoneme. For example, [p h]●Complementary distribution➢When two or more than two allophones of the same phoneme do not distinguishen meaning and never occur in the same context, then the allophones are said to be incomplementary distribution.➢[p] and [p h]; [l] and [l]●Free variation➢If two sounds occurring in the same environment do not contrast, that is, the substitution for another does not produce a different word form, but merely adifferent pronunciation of the same word, then the two sounds are in free variation.➢For example, in cup the /p/ and /p/●Phonemic contrast and distinctive features➢Phonetic contrast: if two phonemes occurs in a minimal pair occur in the same place and distinguish meaning, these two phonemes are said to be in phonemic contrast.➢Distinctive features: they are those features which are phonologically revant properties and can distinguish meaning, for example, plosiveness, bilabiality, andvoicelessness in English phonology. Some of the major distinctions includeconsonantal, sonorant, nasal and voiced. These are known as binary features whichhave two values denoted by “+” and “-”11.Phonological process●Any phonological process must has aspects to it:➢ A set of sound to undergo the process➢ A set of sound produced by the process➢ A set of situation in which the process applies●Assimilation:➢Regressive assimilation: a following sound is influencing a preceding sound➢Progressive assimilation: a preceding sound is influencing a following sound●Devoicing:Voiced sounds become voiceless●Epenthesis:Insertion of a sound●Nasalization: a sound in a word is influenced by a nasal sound●Dentalization: a sound in a word is influenced by a dental sound●Velarization: it refers to the process in which a sound in a word takes on the features of avelar segment.●Deletion rule:➢ A sound is deleted although it is orthographically represented➢For example: sign: delete a /g/ in this word.12.Suprasegmental featuresThe features that occur above the level of segments and can distinguish meaning are called suprasegmental features.●Syllable structure: a syllable can be divided into two parts, the rhyme and the onset. Asthe vowel within the rhyme is nucleus, the consonants after it will be termed coda.➢Maximal onset principle➢On set: at most 3; coda: at most 4●Stress: it refers to the degree of force used in producing a syllable.●Tones: tones are pitch variations, which are caused by differing rates of vibration of vocalcords.●Intonation: when pitch, stress, and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than theword in isolation, they are collectively as intonation.➢Falling tone➢Rising tone➢The fall-rise tone.。

1. Semantics(语义学)Semantics is the study of meaning of the linguistic units, words and sentences in particular. (语义学是对语言单位,尤其是词和句子的意义的研究。

)2. Meanings of “meaning”1). Meaning:Meaning refers to what a language expresses about the world we live in or any possible or imaginary world.(意义是指语言所表达的关于现实世界或者想象中的世界的想法。

)2). Connotation: (内涵)Connotation means the properties of the entity a word denotes.(内涵指的是一个词所指称的实体的特征。

)3). Denotation: (外延)Denotation involves the relationship between a linguistic unit and the non-linguistic entity to which it refers. Thus it is equivalent to referential meaning. (外延涉及语言单位与非语言实体之间的关系。

在这个意义上,它跟指称意义是一样的。

)3. The difference between meaning, concept, connotation, and denotationMeaning refers to the association of language symbols with the real world. There are many types of meaning according to different approaches.Concept is the impression of objects in people’s mind.Connotation is the implied meaning, similar to implication.Denotation, like sense, is not directly related with objects, but makes the abstract assumption of the real world.4. The referential theory1). DefinitionThe theory of meaning which relates the meaning of a word to the thing it refers to, or stands for, is known as the referential theory.(把词语意义跟它所指称或代表的事物联系起来的理论,叫做指称理论)2). The semantic triangle (语义三角)Ogden and Richards presented the classic “Semantic Triangle” as manifested in the following diagram。

语言学第四章知识点总结胡壮麟版

语言学第四章知识点总结胡壮麟版

语⾔学第四章知识点总结胡壮麟版Chapter 44.1 syntactic(句法的)relations4.1.1 positional relation(位置关系)For language to fulfill its communicative function, it must have a way to mark the grammatical roles of the various phrase that can occur in a clause.Positional relation or word order refers to the sequential(有序的)arrangement of words in a language.Positional relation are a manifestation(表现)of one aspect of syntagmatic relationsWord order is among the three basic ways (word order genetic and classification) to classify language words.Six possible types of language SVO VSO SOV OVS VOS English is SVO.4.1.2 relation of substitutability(可代替性)Firstly relation of substitutability refers to classes or sets of words substitutable of each other grammatically in sentence with the same structure.Secondly it refers to groups of more than one word which may be jointly substitutable grammatically for a single word of a particular set.This is what Saussure called associative(联想的)relations or in Hjemslev’s paradigmatic(纵聚性的) relation.4.1.3 relation of co-occurrence(共现)Means words of different sets of clauses may permit pr require the occurrence of a word of another set or class to from a sentence or a particular part of a sentence.Thus relations of co-occurrence partly belong to syntagmatic rations partly to paradigmatic relations.4.2 grammatical construction and its constituents4.2.1 Grammatical constructionAny syntactic string of words ranging from sentences over phrases structures to certain complex lexemes(词位)4.2.2 immediate constituents(直接成分)Constituent is a part of a larger linguistic unit. Several constituents together form a construction: SNP VPDe t V NPDe tThe girl ate the appleThis is tree diagram. 在句⼦结构分析中,成分⽤来指任何语⾔单位,⽽该单位⼜是更⼤语⾔单位的⼀部分,如在The girl ate the apple 本⾝的(A)the boy(B) ate the apple (C)都是⼀个成分,成分可以和其他成分组合组成更⼤的单位,如果两个成分B(the boy )C (ate the apple)结合起来形成⼀个更⾼的成分AWord-levelN=nounA=adjectiveV=verbP=prepositionDet=determinerAdv=adverbConj=conjunctionPhrasalNP=noun phraseAP=adjective phraseVP=verb phrasePP=preposition phraseS=sentence or clauseTo dismantle a grammatical constructure is this way is called immediate constituents or IC analysis.Bracketing is not as common in use, but it is an economic notation in representing the constituent/phrase structure of a grammatical unit.(((The) (girl)) ((ate) ((the) (apple))))2.3 Endocentric and Exocentric ConstructionsEndocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent to that of one or more of its constituents, i.e., a word or a group of words, which serves as a definable centre or head.Usually noun phrases, verb phrases and adjective phrases belong to endocentric types because the constituent items are subordinate to the Head.4.2.3.Endocentric and Exocentric Constructions4.2.3.1Endocentric(相信结构)Endocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent to that of one or more of its constituents, i.e., a word or a group of words, which serves as a definable centre or head.Usually noun phrases, verb phrases and adjective phrases belong to endocentric types because the constituent items are subordinate to the Head.4.2.3.1 Exocentric(并列结构)Exocentric construction refers to a group of syntactically related words where none of the words is functionally equivalent to the group as a whole, that is, there is no definable “Centre”or “Head”inside the group, usually includingthe basic sentence,the prepositional phrase,the predicate (verb + object) construction, andthe connective (be + complement) construction.2.4 Coordination and SubordinationEndocentric constructions fall into two main types, depending on the relation between constituents:Coordination (并列)is a common syntactic pattern in English and other languages formed by grouping together two or more categories of the same type with the help of a conjunction such as and, but and or .Coordination of NPs:[NP the lady] or [NP the tiger]Coordination of VPs:[VP go to the library] and [VP read a book ]Coordination of PPs:[PP down the stairs] and [PP out the door ]Coordination of APs:[AP quite expensive] and [AP very beautiful]Coordination of Ss:[S John loves Mary] and [S Mary loves John too].Subordination(从属)refers to the process or result of linking linguistic units so that they have different syntactic status, one being dependent upon the other, and usually a constituent of the other.The subordinate constituents are words which modify the head. Consequently, they can be called modifiers.Clauses can be used as subordinate constituents. There are three basic types of subordinate clauses:4.3. Syntactic(句法)FunctionThe syntactic function shows the relationship between a linguistic form and other parts of the linguistic pattern in which it is used.Names of functions are expressed in terms of subjects, objects, predicators, modifiers, complements, etc.4.3.1 SubjectIn English, the subject of a sentence is often said to be the agent, or the doer of the action, while the object is the person or thing acted upon by the agent.In order to account for the case of subject in passive voice, we have two other terms “grammatical subject”and “logical subject”Word orderSubject ordinarily precedes the verb in the statement:Pro-formsThe first and third person pronouns in English appear in a special form when the pronoun is a subject, which is not used when the pronoun occurs in other positions:Agreement with the verbIn the simple present tense, an -s is added to the verb when a third person subject is singular, but the number and person of the object or any other element in the sentence have no effect at all on the form of the verbContent questionsIf the subject is replaced by a question word (who or what), the rest of the sentence remains unchanged, as in4.4Category (范畴)The term category refers to the defining properties of these general units:Categories of the noun: number, gender, case and countabilityCategories of the verb: tense, aspect, voice4.4.1 NumberNumber is a grammatical category used for the analysis of word classes displaying such contrasts as singular, dual, plural, etc.4.4.2Gende(性)Such contrasts as “masculine : feminine : neuter”, “animate : inanimate”, etc. for the analysis of word classes.4.4.3Case(格)The case category is used in the analysis of word classes to identify the syntactic relationship between words in a sentence.4.4.4Agreement.Agreement (or concord) may be defined as the requirement that the forms of two or more words of specific word classes that stand in specific syntactic relationship with one another shall also, be characterized by the same paradigmatically marked category (or categories).4.5Phrase, Clause and Sentence4.5.1phrasePrase is a single element of structure containing more than one word, and lacking the subject-predicate structure typical of clauses.4.5.3SentenceBasic sentence types: QuirkSVC Mary is kind.a nurse.SV A Mary is here.in the house.SV The child is laughing.SVO Somebody caught the ball.SVOC We have proved him wrong.a fool.SVOA I put the plate on the table.SVOO She gives me expensive presents.4.6Recursiveness(递归性)Recursiveness mainly means that a phrasal constituent can be embedded within anotherconstituent having the same category, but it has become an umbrella term such important linguistic phenomena as coordination and subordination, conjoining and embedding, hypotactic and paratactic.Theoretically, there is no limit to the embedding of one relative clause into another relative clause, so long as it does not become an obstacle to successful communication.4.6.1ConjoiningConjoining: coordination.Conjunctions: and, but, and or.联系⼀个⼩句或者其他并列或链接的过程,通过这种过程组成的句⼦即并列4.6.2Embedding(嵌⼊)Embedding: subordination.Main clauses and subordinate clauses.Three basic types of subordinate clauses:Relative clause:Complement clause:Adverbial clause:。

语言学教程复习题与答案(胡壮麟版)

语言学教程复习题与答案(胡壮麟版第四章)I. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False: 1. Synta x is a subfied of linguistics that studies the sentence structure of language, i ncluding the combination of morphemes into words. 2.Grammatical sentences are formed following a set of syntactic rules. 3. Sentences are composed of sequence of words arranged in a simple linear order, with one adding onto a nother following a simple arithmetic logic.4.Universally found in the grammars of all human languages, syntactic rules that comprise the system of internali zed linguistic knowledge of a language speak-er are known as linguistic com petence. 5. The syntactic rules of any language are finite in number, but ther e is no limit to the number of sentences native speakers of that language are able to produce and comprehend. 6. In a complex sentence, the two clauses hold unequal status, one subordinating the other.7. Constituents that can be substituted for one another without loss of gram maticality belong to the same syntactic category.8. Minor lexical categories ar e open because these categories are not fixed and new members are allowed for.9. In English syntactic analysis, four phrasal categories are commonly rec ognized and discussed, namely, noun phrase, verb phrase, infinitive phrase, a nd auxiliary phrase. 10. In English the subject usually precedes the verb and the direct object usually follows the verb.11.What is actually internalized in th e mind of a native speaker is a complete list of words and phrases rather th an grammatical knowledge.12. A noun phrase must contain a noun, but other elements are optional.13. It is believed that phrase structure rules, with the i nsertion of the lexicon, generate sentences at the level of D-structure.14. WH-movement is obligatory in English which changes a sentence from affirmative to interrogative.II. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which b egins with the letter given: 15. A s________ sentence consists of a single cla use which contains a sub-ject and a predicate and stands alone as its own sentence. 16.A s______ is a structurally independent unit that usually comprise s a number of words to form a complete statement, question or command. 1 7.A s______ may be a noun or a noun phrase in a sentence that usually pre cedes the predicate.18. The part of a sentence which comprises a finite verb or a verb phrase and which says something about the subject is grammatical ly called p_________.19. A c_________ sentence contains two, or more, clause s, one of which is incorporated into the other.20. In the complex sentence, th e incorporated or subordinate clause is normally called an e_______ clause.21. Major lexical categories are o___ categories in the sense that new words are constantly added.22. A _____ Condition on case assignment states that a ca se assignor and a case recipient should stay adjacent to each other.23. P___ ____ are syntactic options of UG that allow general principles to operate in o ne way or another and contribute to significant linguistic variations between a nd among natural languages.24.

Define the following terms: 35. syntax: Syntax is a subfield of linguistics. It studies the sentence structure of language. It consists of a set of abstract rules that allo w words to be combined with other words to form grammatical sentences. 36. Sentence: A sentence is a structurally independent unit that usually compri ses a number of words to form a complete statement, question or command. Normally, a sentence consists of at least a subject and a predicate which co ntains a finite verb or a verb phrase. 37. coordinate sentence: A coordinate s entence contains two clauses joined by a linking word called coordinating co njunction, such as "and", "but", "or". 38. syntactic categories: Apart from sen tences and clauses, a syntactic category usually refers to a word (called a le xical category) or a phrase ( called a phrasal category) that performs a partic ular grammatical function. 39. grammatical relations: The structural and logica l functional relations of constituents are called grammatical relations. The gra mmatical relations of a sentence concern the way each noun phrase in the s entence relates to the verb. In many cases, grammatical relations in fact refer to who does what to whom .40. linguistic competence: Universally found in t he grammars of all human languages, syntactic rules comprise the system of internalized linguistic knowledge of a language speaker known as linguistic c ompetence.41. Transformational rules: Transformational rules are the rules tha t transform one sentence type into another type.42. D-structure: D- structure i s the level of syntactic representation that exists before movement takes plac e. Phrase structure rules, with the insertion of the lexicon, generate sentence s at the level of D-structure.V. Answer the following questions: 43. What are t he basic components of a sentence? Normally, a sentence consists of at leas t a subject and its predicate which contains a finite verb or a verb phrase. 4 4. What are the major types of sentences? Illustrate them with examples. T raditionally, there are three major types of sentences. They are simple senten ce, coordinate( compound) sentence, and complex sentence. A simple sentenc e consists of a single clause which contains a subject and a predicate and s tands alone as its own sentence, for example: John reads extensively.A coordinate sentence contains two clauses joined by a linking word that is called coordinating conjunction, such as "and", "but", "or". For example: John is reading a linguistic book, and Mary is preparing for her history exam. A complex sentence contains two, or more, clauses, one of whic h is incorporated into the other. The two clauses in a complex sentence do n ot have equal status, one is subordinate to the other. For exam-ple: Before J ohn gave her a lecture, Mary showed no interest in lin-guistics. 45. Are the e lements in a sentence linearly structured? Why? No. Language is both line arly and hierarchically structured. When a sentence is uttered or written down, the words of the sentence are produced one after another in a sequence. A closer examination of a sentence shows that a sentence is not composed of sequence of words arranged in a simple linear order with one adding onto an other following a simple arithmetic logic. In fact, sen-tences are also hierarchi cally structured. They are orga-nized by grouping together words of the same syntactic category, such as noun phrase (NP) or verb phrase (VP), as can b e seen from the following tree diagram: S NP VP Det N Vt NP De t N The boy likes the music. 46. What are the advant ages of using tree diagrams in the analysis of sentence structures? The tre e diagram can not only reveal a linear order, but also a hierarchical structure that groups words into structural constituents. It can, in addition, show the syntactic category of each structural constituent, thus it is believed to most t ruthfully illustrate the constituent relationship among linguistic elements. 47. What is NP movement. Illustrate it with examples. NP movement in-volves the movement of a noun phrase. NP-movement occurs when, for example, a sen tence changes from the active voice to the passive voice: (A) The man beat t he child. (B). The child was beaten by the man. B is the result of the mov ement of the noun phrases "the man" and "the child" from their original posi tions in (A) to new positions. That is, "the man" is postposed to the right an d "the child" is preposed to the left. Not all instances of NP-movement, ho wever, are related to changing a sentence from the active voice to the passiv e voice. For example: (C) It seems they are quite fit for the job. (D) They seem quite fit for the job. These sentences are identical in meaning, but different in their superfi-cial syntactic representations. It is believed that they hav e the same underly-ing structure, but (27b) is the result of an NP movement.语言学教程复习题与答案(胡壮麟版第五章)I. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False: 1. Diale ctal synonyms can often be found in different regional dialects such as Britis h English and American English but cannot be found within the variety itself, for example, within British English or American English. 2. Sense is concer ned with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience, while the reference deals with the inherent meaning of t he linguistic form. 3. Linguistic forms having the same sense may have diff erent references in different situations. 4. In semantics, meaning of language is considered as the intrinsic and inherent relation to the physical world of e xperience. 5. Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can deriv e meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. 6.

The meaning of a sentence is the sum total of the meanings of all its componen ts. 8. Most languages have sets of lexical items similar in meaning but ran ked differently according to their degree of formality. 9. “it is hot.”is a n o-place predication because it contains no argument. 10. In grammatical anal ysis, the sentence is taken to be the basic unit, but in semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is predication, which is the abstraction of the meani ng of a sentence.

Mark the choice that can best complete the statement: 2l.A 22.B 23.D 24.D 25.B 26.C 27.A 28.C 29.D 30.A IV. Define the following terms: 31. Semantics: Semantics can be simply defined as the study of meaning in lan guage. 32. Sense: Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form; it is ab stract and de -contextualised. 33. Reference: Reference means what a linguisti c form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship bet ween the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience 34. Sy nonymy :Synonymy refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning. 35. Polysemy :Polysemy refers to the fact that the same one word may have mo re than one meaning. 36. Homonymy :Homonymy refers to the pheno广告网址n that words having different mean-ings have the same form, i.e. , different w ords are identical in sound or spelling, or in both. 37. homophones :When tw o words are identical in sound, they are called homophones 38. homographs : When two words are identical in spelling, they are homographs. 39. complete homonyms.:When two words are identical in both sound and spelling, they a re called complete homonyms. 40.Hyponymy :Hyponymy refers to the sense r elation between a more general, more inclusive word and a more specific word. 41. Antonymy :Antonymy refers to the relation of oppositeness of meaning.42. Componential analysis : Componential analysis is a way to analyze word meaning. It was pro-posed by structural semanticists. The approach is based on the belief that the meaning of a -word can be divided into meaning comp onents, which are called semantic features. 43.The grammatical meaning : The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality, i.e. , its gra mmatical well-formedness . The grammaticality of a sentence is governed by t he grammatical rules of the language. 44. predica-tion :The predica-tion is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence. 45. ar-gument : An ar-gument is a logical participant in a predication. It is generally identical with the nominal element (s) in a sentence. 46. predicate : A predicate is something that is sai d about an argument or it states the logical relation linking the arguments in a sentence. 47. two-place predication : A two-place predication is one which con-tains two arguments. V. Answer the following questions: 48. Why do w e say that a meaning of a sentence is not the sum total of the meanings of all its components? The meaning of a sentence is not the sum total of themeanings of all its components because it cannot be worked out by adding up all the meanings of its constituent words. For example; (A) The dog bit the man. (B) The man bit the dog. If the meaning of a sentence w ere the sum total of the meanings of all its components, then the above two sentences would have the same meaning. In fact they are different in meanin gs. As we know, there are two aspects to sentence meaning: grammatical me an-ing and semantic meaning. The grammatical meanings of “the dog”and “the man”in (A) are different from the grammatical meanings of “the dog”and “the man”in (B). The meaning of a sentence is the product of both le xical and grammatical meaning. It is the product of the meaning of the consti tuent words and of the grammatical constructions that relate one word syntag matically to another. 49. What is componential analysis? Illustrate it with exa mples. Componential analysis, pro-posed by structural semanticists, is a wa y to analyze word meaning. The approach is based on the belief that the me aning of a word can be divided into meaning components, which are called s emantic features. Plus and minus signs are used to indicate whether a certai n semantic feature is present or absent in the meaning of a word, and these feature symbols are usually written in capitalized letters. For example, the wo rd “man”is ana-lyzed as consisting of the semantic features of [+ HUMAN, + ADULT, + ANIMATE, +MALE] 50. How do you distinguish between entailme nt and presupposition in terms of truth values? Entailment is a relation of inc lusion. Suppose there are two sentences X and Y: X: He has been to Fran ce. Y: He has been to Europe. In terms of truth values, if X is true, Y is n ecessarily true, e.g. If he has been to France, he must have been to Europe. If X is false, Y may be true or false, e. g. If he has not been to France, he may still have been to Europe or he has not been to Europe. If Y is true, X may be true or false, e.g. If he has been to Europe, he may or may not hav e been to France. If Y is false, X is false, e.g. If he has not been to Europe, he cannot have been to France. Therefore we conclude that X entails Y or Y is an entailment of X. The truth conditions that we use to judge presupposition is as follows: Suppose there are two sentences X and Y X: John' s bike needs repairing. Y: John has a bike. If X is true, Y must be true, e.g. If John' s bike needs repairing, John must have a bike. If X is false, Y is still true, e. g. If John' s bike does not need repairing, John still has a bike. If Y is true, X is either true or false, e.g. If John has a bike, it may or may n ot need repairing. If Y is false, no truth value can be said about X, e.g. If Jo hn does not have a bike, nothing can be said about whether his bike needs repairing or not. Therefore, X presupposes Y, or Y is a presupposition of X.51. How do you account for such sense relations between sentences as syn onymous relation, inconsistent relation in terms of truth values? In terms of truth condition, of the two sentences X and Y, if X is true, Y is true; if X is false, Y is false, therefore X is synonymous with Y e.g. X; He was a bachelo r all his life. Y: He never married all his life. Of the two sentences X and Y, i f X is true, Y is false; if X is false, Y is true, then we can say A is inconsist ent with Y e.g. X: John is married. Y: John is a bachelor.52. According t o the ways synonyms differ, how many groups can we classify synonyms int o? Illustrate them with examples. According to the ways synonyms differ, s ynonyms can be divided into the following groups. i. Dialectal synonyms Th ey are synonyms which are used in different regional dialects. British English and American English are the two major geographical varieties of the Englis h language. For examples: British English American Englishautumn fall lift elevator Then dialectal s ynonyms can also be found within British, or American English itself. For exa mple, "girl" is called "lass" or "lassie" in Scottish dialect, and "liquor" is call ed "whisky" in Irish dialect. ii. Stylistic synonyms They are synonyms which differ in style or degree of formality. Some of the stylistic synonyms tend to be more formal, others tend to be casual, and still oth-ers are neutral in style. For example: old man, daddy, dad, father, male parent chap, pa l, friend, companion iii. Synonyms that differ in their emotive or evaluative m eaning They are the words that have the same meaning but express differentemotions of the user. The emotions of the user indicate the attitude or bias of the user toward what he is talking about . For exam-ple, “collaborator” a nd “accomplice” are synonymous, sharing the meaning of "a person who h elps another", but they are different in their evaluative meaning. The former means that a person who helps another in do-ing something good, while the latter refers to a person who helps another in a criminal act. iv. Collocational synonyms They are synonyms which differ in their collocation. For example, we can use accuse, charge, rebuke to say that someone has done somethin g wrong or even criminal, but they are used with different preposi-tions accu se. . . of, charge. . . with, rebuke. . .for. v. V. Semantically different synonym s Semantically different synonyms refer to the synonyms that differ slight-ly i n what they mean. For example, "amaze" and "astound" are very close in me aning to the word "surprise," but they have very subtle differences in meanin g. While amaze suggests confusion andbewilderment, " astound" implies difficulty in believing. " 53. What are the major views concerning the stud y of meaning? How do they differ? One of the oldest was the naming theor y, proposed by the ancient Greek scholar Plato, who believed that the words used in a language are taken to be la-bels of the objects they stand for. The conceptualist view holds that there is no direct link between a lin-guistic for m and what it refers to. The form and the meaning are linked through the m ediation of concepts in the mind. Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. Two kinds of context are recognized; the situational context and the linguisti c context. For example, the meaning of the word "seal" in the sentence "The seal could not be found" can only be determined ac-cording to the context i n which the sentence occurs: The seal could not be found. The zoo keeper b ecame worried. (seal meaning an aquatic mammal) The seal could not be found. The king became worried. (seal meaning the king's stamp) Behaviorism drew on behaviorist psychology when he tried to define the meaning of ling uistic forms. Behaviorists attempted to de-fine the meaning of a language for m as " the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls f orth in the hearer".语言学教程复习题与答案(胡壮麟版第六章)Historical Linguistics I. Decide whether each of the following statements is Tr ue or False: 1. One of the tasks of the historical linguists is to explore meth ods to reconstruct linguistic history and establish the relationship between la nguages. 2. Language change is a gradual and constant process, therefore of ten indiscernible to speakers of the same generation. 3. The history of the E nglish language is divided into the periods of Old English, Middle English an d Modern English. 4. Middle English began with the arrival of Anglo-Saxons, who invaded the British Isles from northern Europe. 5. In Old English, all the nouns are inflected to mark nominative, genitive, dative and accusative case s. 6. In Old English, the verb of a sentence often precedes the subject rather than follows it. 7. A direct consequence of the Renaissance Movement was t he revival of French as a literary language. 8. In general, linguistic change in grammar is more noticeable than that in the sound system and the vocabula ry of a language. 9. The sound changes include changes in vowel sounds, a nd in the loss, gain and movement of sounds. 10. The least widely-spread morphological changes in the historical development of English are the loss and addition of affixes. 11. In Old English, the morphosyntactic rule of adjec tive agreement stipulated that the endings of adjective must agree with the h ead noun in case, number and gender. 12. The word order of Modern Englis h is more variable than that of Old English. 13. Derivation refers to the proc ess by which new words are formed by the addition of affixes to the roots, s tems, or words. 14. “Smog”is a word formed by the word-forming process。

Chapter 4 Syntax1. Immediate Constituent Analysis (直接成分分析法)DefinitionIt may be defined as: the analysis of a sentence in terms of its immediate constituents---word groups (or phrases), which are in turn analyzed into the immediate constituents of their own, and the process goes on until the ultimate constituents are reached. However, for the sake of convenience, in practice we usually stop at the level of word. The immediate constituent analysis of a sentence may be carried out with brackets or with a tree diagram.直接成分分析法先把句子分析为直接成分---词组(或短语),再把这些直接成分依次切分,得到各自的直接成分,层层切分,直到最终成分为止。

实际操作中,为了方便,通常切到词为止。

直接成分分析法可以用括弧或树形图表示。

Advantages:Through IC analysis, the internal structure of a sentence may be demonstrated clearly, ambiguities, if any, will be revealed. 通过IC分析法,句子的内在结构可以清晰地展示出来,如果有歧义,也会被揭示出来。

Problems①At the beginning, some advocators insisted on binary divisions. Any construction, at anylevel, will be cut into two parts. But this is not always possible.开始的时候,一些提倡者坚持二元切分。

2.3 Endocentric and Exocentric
Constructions
Endocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent to that of one or more of its constituents, i.e., a word or a group of words, which serves as a definable centre or head.
Usually noun phrases, verb phrases and adjective phrases belong to endocentric types because the constituent items are subordinate to the Head.

Chapter 4 Syntax 语言学教程 胡壮麟

Syntax is the analysis of sentence structure and the relationships between elements in a sentence, then what is a sentence? A sentence is a sequence of words arranged in a certain order in accordance with grammatical rules. The interrelationships between elements in a sentence can be analysed according to syntactic relations.

This positional relation is also called horizontal relation or chain relation. It is among the three basic ways (word order, genetic and areal classifications) to classify languages in the world. According to this classification, there are six types of language, they are SVO, VSO, SOV, OVS, OSV, and VOS. English is SVO type.
Sometimes two sentences which have the same words in number and form and are both grammatically well-formed have opposite meanings: a) The teacher saw the students. b) The students saw the teacher. This positional relation is a manifestation of “Syntagmatic Relation” proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure.

胡壮麟语言学修订版笔记(5)

Chapter 4 Syntax4.1 The traditional approach4.1.1 Number, gender and case4.1.2 Tense and aspect[For these two sections, please consult materials on traditional Englishgrammar. – icywarmtea]4.1.3 Concord and governmentConcord (a.k.a. agreement) may be defined as the requirement that the forms of two or more words in a syntactic relationship should agree witheach other in terms of some categories. E.g. in English the determiner and thenoun it precedes should concord in number as in this man, these men. Andthe form of a subject should agree with that of the verb in terms of number inthe present tense, e.g. He speaks English; They speak English.Government is another type of control over the form of some words by other words in certain syntactic construction. It differs from concord in thatthis is a relationship in which a word of a certain class determines the form ofothers in terms of certain category. E.g. in English, the pronoun after a verbor a preposition should be in the object form as in She gave him a book; Shegave a book to him. In other words, the verb, or the preposition, governs theform of the pronoun after it. The former is the governor, and the latter is thegoverned.4.2 The structural approach4.2.1 Syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationsSyntagmatic (a.k.a. horizontal / chain) relation is a relation between one item and others in a sequence, or between elements which are all present,such as the relation between weather and the others in the following sentence: If the weather is nice, we’ll go out.Paradigmatic (a.k.a. vertical / choice) relation is a relation holding between elements replaceable with each other at a particular place in astructure, or between one element present and the others absent.4.2.2 Immediate constituent analysis (IC analysis)1. How to do itImmediate constituents are constituents immediately, directly, below the level of a construction, which may be a sentence or a word group or a word.Immediate constituent analysis, IC analysis for short, refers to the analysis of a sentence in terms of its immediate constituents – word groups(phrases), which are in turn analyzed into the immediate constituents of theirown, and the process goes on until the ultimate sake of convenience. The ICanalysis of a sentence may be carried out with brackets or shown with a treediagram. E.g.Poor John ran away. →(1) ((Poor) (John)) ((ran) (away)).(2)Through IC analysis, the internal structure of a sentence may be demonstrated clearly, any ambiguities, if any, will be revealed in that IC analysis emphasizes not only the linear structure of the sentence but also the hierarchical structure of the sentence. E.g. the sentence Leave the book on the shelf. is ambiguous. It has two meanings: (1) Put the book on the shelf; (2) Don’t touch the book on the shelf. These two meanings can be shown by the following tree diagrams. (Omitted. See the textbook p125~128.)3. Its problemsHowever, IC analysis has three disadvantages. First, at the beginning, some advocator insisted on binary divisions. Any construction, at any level, will be cut into two parts. But this is not possible. E.g. Old men and women is ambiguous in that it may mean old + men and women or old men + and women. It’s impossible to combine with only the preceding part or only the succeeding part. Second, constructions with discontinuous constituents will pose technical problems for tree diagrams in IC analysis. E.g. the phrasal verbs like make up, turn on, or give up will cause problems in that when the object is expressed by a pronoun, it will interrupt the phrasal verb as in make it up. The most serious problem is that there are structural ambiguities which cannot be revealed by IC analysis. E.g. the tree diagram and the labels can only do one analysis for the love of God.4.2.3 Endocentric and exocentric constructionsAn endocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent, or approaching equivalence, to one of its constituents, which serves as the center, or head, of the whole. It is also called headed construction. Typical endocentric constructions are noun phrases, verb phrases and adjective phrases. They may be further divided into two subtypes: subordinate and coordinate constructions. Those, in which there is only one head, with the head being dominant and the other constructions dependent, are subordinate constructions. In the coordinate construction, there are more than one head, e.g. boys and girls, in which the two content constituents, boys and girls, are of equal syntactic status, and no one is dependent on the other.The exocentric construction is defined negatively as a construction whose distribution is not functionally equivalent to any of its constituents.There is no noticeable center or head in it. Typical exocentric constructions are prepositional phrases, subordinate clauses, English basic sentences, and环球时代英语专业考研MTI翻译硕士专四专八日语考研等the verb plus object constructions.4.3 The generative approach4.3.1 Deep and surface structuresIn transformational generative grammar (a.k.a. T-G grammar), the deep structure may be defined as the abstract representation of the syntacticproperties of a construction, i.e. the underlying level of structural relationsbetween its different constituents, such as the relation between the underlyingsubject and its verb, or a verb and its object.The surfaces structure is the final stage in the syntactic derivation of a construction, which closely corresponds to the structural organization of aconstruction people actually produce and receive.The example for the surface structure is The newspaper was not delivered today.The deep structure of the above sentence would besomething like: (negative) someone (past tense) deliver the newspaper today(passive).The items in brackets are not lexical items but grammaticalconcepts which shape the final form of the sentence. Rules which describedeep structure are in the first part of the grammar (base component). Ruleswhich transform these structures into surface structures (transformationalrules) are in the second part of the grammar (transformational component).4.3.2 The standard theory and afterWhat is the trace theory?[I think this is difficult. It is too abstract for me. – icywarmtea]After the movement of an element in a sentence there will be a trace left in the original position. This is the notion trace in T-G grammar. It’ssuggested that if we have the notion trace, all the necessary information forsemantic interpretation may come from the surface structure. E.g. Thepassive Dams are built by beavers. differs from the active Beavers built dams.in implying that all dams are built by beavers. If we add a trace elementrepresented by the letter t after built in the passive as Dams are built t bybeavers, then the deep structure information that the word dams wasoriginally the object of built is also captured by the surface structure. Tracetheory proves to be not only theoretically significant but also empiricallyvalid.4.3.3 Government, binding, etc.1. Constituent command / C-command: α c-commands β if α does notdominate β and every γ that dominates α also dominates β, as shownin the diagram below:αβ2. Binding theory: Part of the government / binding theory. It examinesconnections between noun phrases in sentences and explores theway they relate and refer to each other.(1) An anaphor is bound in its governing category.(2) A pronominal is free in its governing category.(3) An r-expression is free.3. Binding: The notion binding is borrowed from logic, which refers tothe relation between a quantifier and a variable, that is a variable isbound by a quantifier. In the generative approach, binding refers tothe relation between different referring word and the subject of asentence containing it.4. Anaphor: A process where a word or phrase refers back to anotherword or phrase which was used earlier in a text or conversation. In anarrow sense, it used to include only reflexives like myself andreciprocals like each other.5. Pronominal: A pronominal refers to pronouns other than reflexivesand reciprocals.6. R-expression: A r-expression, as the abbreviation of areferential-expression, covers all the other r-expressions exceptanaphors and pronominals, e.g. John, Bill, the man.7. The D-structure and the S-structureIn Government / Binding theory, the D-structure is an abstract levelof sentence representation where semantic roles such as an agent(the doer of an action) and patient (the entity affected by an action)are assigned to the sentence. Agent is sometimes also referred to asthe logical subject and patient as the rheme of the sentence. E.g. (insimplified form)Vera shoot intrudersAgent or logical subject patient or rhemeThe next level of sentence representation is the S-structure wheresyntactic / grammatical cases such as nominative / grammaticalsubject and accusative / grammatical object are assigned. E.g. (insimplified form)Vera (agent) shoot intruders (patient /rheme)Grammatical subject grammatical objectThe phonetic form (PF) component and the logical form (LF)component are then needed to turn the S-structure into a surfacesentence. The PF component presents the S-structure as sound, andthe LF component gives the syntactic meaning of the sentence.4.4 The functional approach4.4.1 Functional sentence perspective1. Functional sentence perspective (FSP)环球时代英语专业考研MTI翻译硕士专四专八日语考研等The functional sentence perspective (FSP) is a type of linguistic analysis associated with the Prague School which describes how information isdistributed in sentences. FSP deals particularly with the effect of thedistribution of known information and new information in discourse. Theknown information (known as theme), refers to information that is not new tothe reader or listener. The rheme refers to information that is new. FSP differsfrom the traditional grammatical analysis of sentences because thedistribution between subject-predicate is not always the same astheme-rheme contrast. E.g.(1) John sat in the front seatSubject predicateTheme rheme(2) In the front seat sat John.Predicate subjectTheme rhemeJohn is the grammatical subject in both sentences, but theme in (1) and rheme in (2).2. Communicative dynamism (CD)By CD Firbas means the extent to which the sentence element contributes to the development of the communication.4.4.2 Systemic-functional grammar1. The material process (a process of doing): the representation of outerexperience.2. The mental process (a process of sensing): the representation ofinner experience.3. The relational process (a process of being): the relation between oneexperience and another.4. The behavioral process (a process of behavioring): physiological andpsychological behavior.5.

Chapter 4 Syntax1. Immediate Constituent Analysis (直接成分分析法)DefinitionIt may be defined as: the analysis of a sentence in terms of its immediate constituents---word groups (or phrases), which are in turn analyzed into the immediate constituents of their own, and the process goes on until the ultimate constituents are reached. However, for the sake of convenience, in practice we usually stop at the level of word. The immediate constituent analysis of a sentence may be carried out with brackets or with a tree diagram.直接成分分析法先把句子分析为直接成分---词组(或短语),再把这些直接成分依次切分,得到各自的直接成分,层层切分,直到最终成分为止。

实际操作中,为了方便,通常切到词为止。

直接成分分析法可以用括弧或树形图表示。

Advantages:Through IC analysis, the internal structure of a sentence may be demonstrated clearly, ambiguities, if any, will be revealed. 通过IC分析法,句子的内在结构可以清晰地展示出来,如果有歧义,也会被揭示出来。

Problems①At the beginning, some advocators insisted on binary divisions. Any construction, at anylevel, will be cut into two parts. But this is not always possible.开始的时候,一些提倡者坚持二元切分。

任何结构体在任何层面都分为两个部分。

但实际上并不总是如此。

②Constructions with discontinuous constituents will pose technical problems for tree diagrams in IC analysis. The most serious problem is that there are structural ambiguities which cannot berevealed by IC analysis.含有不连续成分的结构体会给IC分析法的树形图造成技术困难。

最严重的问题是有些结构的歧义不能用IC分析法来揭示和分析。

2. Deep structure &Surface structure (深层结构&表层结构)2.1 Deep structure (深层结构)The deep structure is the abstract representation of the syntactic properties of a construction, i. e. the underlying level of structural relations between its different constituents.深层结构是对一个结构体的句法属性的抽象描述,即不同成分之间的结构关系的潜在层面。

2.2 Surface structure(表层结构)The surface structure is the final stage in the syntactic derivation of a construction, which closely corresponds to the structural organization of a construction people actually produce and receive. 表层结构是结构体句法派生过程的最后阶段,与人们实际发送、接受的结构组织相符合。

3. The functional approach/ The Prague School(功能学派/布拉格语言学派)3.1 Functional sentence perspective (FSP)The functional sentence perspective (FSP) is a type of linguistic analysis associated with the Prague School which describes how information is distributed in sentences. FSP deals particularly with the effect of the distribution of known information and new information in discourse. Theme:The known information (known as theme), refers to information that is not known to the reader or listener.主位指“已知的信息或至少在给定的语境中明确的,话语起点前的信息。

”Rheme:The rheme refers to information that is new,it can be regarded as “what the speaker states about, or in regard to, the starting point of the utterance”.(述位是指“说话者陈述的有关,或者涉及话语起点的内容。

”)FSP differs from the traditional grammatical analysis of sentences because the distribution between subject-predicate is not always the same as theme-rheme contrast. E.g.(1) John sat in the front seatSubject predicateTheme rheme(2) In the front seat sat John.Predicate subjectTheme rheme(3) The man is running.subject PredicateTheme rhemeJohn is the grammatical subject in both sentences, but theme in (1) and rheme in (2).3.2. Communicative dynamism (CD) (交际动力)By CD Firbas means the extent to which the sentence element contributes to the development of the communication.(Firbas用交际动力表示“句子成分对交际发展所起作用的程度。

”)1) Ideational function (概念功能)It is one of the functions of language,which means that language serves for the expression of“content”: that is, through the speaker’s experience of the real world, including the inner world of his own consciousness.(语言的功能之一,指语言用来表达“内容”,即表达说话者的现实世界经验,包括其自我意识的内心世界。

)2) Interpersonal function(人际功能)It is one of the functions of language, through which social groups are delimited, and individuals are identified and reinforced, since by enabling him to interact with others language also serves in the expression and development of his own personality.(语言的功能之一,指通过这种功能人们被划分成社会群体,个人身份得到确认和加强,因为借助语言和其他人交往时,语言也使人的个性得到表达和发展。

)3) Textual function (语篇功能)It is one of the functions of language which enables the speaker or writer to construct “text”, or connect passages of discourse that is situationally relevant; and enables them to distinguish a text from random set of sentences.(语言的功能之一,指语言那种使说话者或作者有能力构造“语篇”或者跟语境相关的连续话语并且使他们有能力把语篇和随意的句子组合区分开来的能力。

)4. Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic relations4.1 Syntagmatic relation(组合关系)Syntagmatic relation is a relation between one item and others in a sequence, or between elements which are all present, such as the relation between weather and the others in the following sentence: If the weather is nice, we’ll go out.(组合关系是指一个词项和同一序列中的其他词项之间的关系或者说是共现的所有成分之间的关系。
