1.2 Sound and Meaning
• Before we detect the relationship between sound and meaning of the word, let’s look at the two famous sayings:
• (1) What’s in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.
• The conventionalists, like Shakespeare,
hold that the relations between sound and meaning are conventional and arbitrary(任 意的).
• The naturalists have argued that the origin of language lies in onomatopoeia(拟声,bang, crash, clash,可讲解它们的词类转义), that people began talking by creating iconic(图象) signs to imitate the sounds heard around them in nature. They maintain that there is a natural connection between sound and meaning.
• As defined in terms of spoken language, a word is viewed as a sound or combination of sounds which are made voluntarily with human vocal equipment. According to semanticists, a word is a unit of meaning. Grammarians, however, insist that a word be a free form that can function in a sentence.

第一章词汇与词汇学的基本概念词汇学学习之初,有必要去澄清一些关于词和词汇的基本概念。
词语word是一个难以捉摸的概念,需要在开始就认真关注。
发音和意义之间的关系,声音和形式之间的关系,词语和词汇之间的关系。
另外,我们将注意一些关于词汇分类的共识的规则,并且在本章一定程度上研究每类词语。
1.1 一个词是什么?词语是什么?多年来已经引起了语言学家的关注。
争议较大。
尽管已经提出了很多的定义,没有一个是最好的。
学者们仍然没有在词语的定义上达成一致。
当我们谈起一个词语,我们倾向于根据视觉条件来思考。
在这个角度,一个词可以被定义为平印在或者写在纸上的字母的有意义的集合。
当根据口语定义的时候,词被看成是一个发音或发音的集合,是由人的发音器官自由的发出的。
根据语义学家的意见,一个词是一个意义单位。
语法学家,则认为一个词是在句中起作用的自由形式。
等等。
总结起来,词语的定义包含以下几点:(1)一个最小的自由形态(2)一个发音的集合体(3)一个意义单位(4)能独自影响句子的形式因此,我们能说“词语是语言最小的自由形式,拥有固定的声音和意义以及句法作用。
”词语可以是简单词或者合成词,然而全部必须服从这些标准。
Man和fine是简单词,但是他们都有读音,意义和句法意义。
每个都能单独出现在句子中。
自然他们都是词。
也有像是misfortune和management 这样的复合词,他们都是多音节词,可以用来作主语,宾语和预示性词语。
尽管misfortune可以被进一步分为mis和fortune,前者不能作为词单独使用。
相似的,management可以被分成manage和ment,但是后者不能自由使用。
Blackmail能被分为black和mail,而且都能作为独立的句子单位使用,然而词的意思绝对不是两个部分的组合。
Black是颜色,针对white,mail指示“被邮局运送的东西”,然而当它们放在一起,组合形式意味着“强迫,利用不光彩的秘密要人送钱或行动作为答复。

It is made up of most of the languages of Europe, the Near East and India. English belongs to this family and the other members of the Indo-European have more or less influence on English vocabulary. A knowledge of the Indo-European Language Family will help us understand English words better and use them more appropriately.2.

What are left are mostly functional words.

Here the butcher cleverly uses the pair of homonyms meat and meet to make a pun. It makes a proper answer to the lady’s question. (1) Butchers cannot make both ends meat (make whole sausages with all meat) because they cannot make both ends meet (If they made sausages with all meat, which is more costly, they would not earn enough money to survive.)( 2) Don’t complain. All the butchers do the same. I am not the only one who is making sausages with bread.2) Swallow is a bird which is seen in summer. But by one swallow we see, wecannot deduce that it is already summer time. Swallow can also mean amouthful of wine. On a cold winter day, if one has a swallow of wine, one may feel warm.3) arms has two meanings: weapons; the human upper limbs. Since “a cannonball took off his legs”, the soldier was not able to fight on, so he “laid down his arms”, which means “surrender”. It can also mean he laid down his upper limbs.Synonymy3. avaricious: greedycourteously: politelyemancipate: set freecustomary: usualwidth: breadthadversary: opponentgullible: deceivedremainder: residueinnocent: sinlessobstacle: obstructionvexation: annoyance5. a. identifiable b. safetyc. motivatesd. delicatee. surroundingsf. artificialg. prestige h. perspirei. accomplishment j. silentk. impressive l. evaporate6. run move spinturn whirl roll7. a. stead b. gee-gee c. riped. maturee. effectivef. efficientg. fatigued, children h. tired, kidsi. declined j. refused k. rancidl. addled m.

In Sentence 1, got, furniture, recently are superordinates because they are generaland convey a very vague idea whereas in Sentence 2, the three words are replacedrespectively by bought, cupboard, three days ago, which are subordinates, conveying a definite and clear idea. So Sentence 2 is better than Sentence 1.In 3, it is said, magnificent building, destroyed, yesterday are superordinate terms, which are comparatively much more general than the news says, Royal Hotel, burnt down, last night respectively in 4, which can be described as subordinates.Since 4 is clearer than 3 in meaning, it is better.Semantic field3. Group 1 is synonymously semantic field and Group 2 is semantic filed. Thedifference lies: In 1 the words are synonyms, none of them covers the meaning of another, and they differ only in style and emotive values. In 2 the words are not synonyms, but each refers to a specific type of horse. Horse is a cover term or superordinate, and others are subordinates. These terms have no difference in style or affective meaning.【Chapter 7】4. 1) extension 2) extension3) narrowing 4) degradation5) elevation 6) narrowing7) extension 8) extension9) narrowing 10) elevation11) narrowing 12) degradation13) degradation 14) degradation5. a. associated transferb. abstract to concretec. abstract to concreted. abstract to concretee. abstract to concretef. abstract of concreteg. associated transferh. associated transferi. synesthesiaj. synesthesia6. a. objective b. subjective, objectivec. objectived. subjectivee. subjectivef. subjectiveg. subjective h. subjective, objective7. a. die b. graveyardc. bedlam疯人院d. old peoplee. strikef.

In 3, it is said, magnificent building, destroyed, yesterday are superordinate terms, which are comparatively much more general than the news says, Royal Hotel, burnt down, last night respectively in 4, which can be described as subordinates.

Chapter2【练习答案】1.Why should students of English lexicology study the Indo-European LanguageFamily?The Indo-European Language Family is one of the most important language families in the world. It is made up of most of the languages of Europe, the Near East and India. English belongs to this family and the other members of the Indo-European Language Family have different degrees of influence on English vocabulary. A knowledge of the Indo-European Language Family will help us understand English words better and use them more appropriately.2.Make a tree diagram to show the family relations of the modern language given below.Indo-European Language FamilyBalto-Slavic Indo-Iranian Celtic Italian Hellenic GermanicRoumanian Hindi Breton Spanish Greek EnglishLithuanian Persian Scottish French SwedishPrussian Irish Italian GermanPolish Portuguese NorweigianSlavenian IcelandicRussian DanishBulgarian Dutch3.What are the fundamental differences between the vocabularies of the threeperiods of development? Do you think we can divide the historical development in other ways? Defend your argument.The vocabularies of the three periods differ greatly from one another. Old English has (1) a small vocabulary (50,000—60,000), (2) a small number of borrowings from Latin and Scandinavian only and (3) the words full of endings.Middle English has (1) a comparatively large vocabulary, (2) a tremendous number of foreign words from French and Latin and (3) word endings leveled.Modern English has (1) a huge and heterogeneous vocabulary, (2) tremendous borrowings and (3) words with lost endings.Yes, we can divide the development in other ways, for example, Old English period can be called Anglo-Saxon period. And Middle English might start from 1066 the time of Norman Conquest. But in doing so, the logical continuation of the three phases of the original division is lost.4.What characteristics of English make the English language heterogeneous?It is receptivity and adaptability of the English language that make it possible forEnglish to borrow heavily from other major languages of the world, so that the English vocabulary eventually has become heterogeneous.5.Account for the popularity of English in the present world from a linguisticperspective.The popularity of English lies in the fact that English is ready to borrow from other languages and to adapt itself to new situations and new developments, that it has accepted elements from all other major languages and that it has simple reflection and a relatively fixed word order. All these make the language comparatively easy to learn and to use.6.Here is a text chosen from the Declaration of Independence.When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.Pick out all the words of Greek or Latin origin from the text and see of what origin are the words left. What insight does this exercise give you with reference to the borrowings from Greek and Latin?course human events necessary peopledissolve political connected assume separateequal station nature entitle decentrespect opinions requires declare causesimpel separationFrom the words picked out, we can see that most of the content words are either of Greek or Latin origin. What are left are mostly functional words. This shows that Greek and Latin play a very important part in the English vocabulary.7.Give a brief account of the four phases of Latin borrowing with two or threeexamples.Latin borrowing can be divided into four phase: (1) Pre-Anglo-Saxon period, (2) Old English period, (3) Middle English period and (4) modern English period.Borrowings in the first period are mainly common words such as wall, wine, kettle and so on; words borrowed in the second period are mainly religious terms such as candle, nun, church; the third period saw words borrowed often via French such as frustrate, history, infancy and so on and in the four period words borrowed from Latin are usually abstract formal terms like status, nucleus, minimum.8.Tell the different elements that make up the following hybrids.eventful [Latin + English]hydroplane [Greek + Latin]falsehood [ Latin + English]pacifist [Latin + Greek]saxophone [German + Greek]heirloom [ French + English]joss house [ Portuguese + English] television [Greek + Latin]9.Put the following French loan words into two groups, one being earlyborrowings and the other late ones.amateur (late)finacé (late)empire (early)peace (early)courage (early)garage (late)judgement (early)chair (early)chaise (late)grace (early)servant (early)routine (late)jealous (early)savaté (late)genre (late)gender (early)début (late)morale (late)state (early)chez (late)ballet (late)ment on Jespersen’s remark on Scandinavian element in English ‘AnEnglishman cannot thrive or be ill or die without Scandinavian words; they are to the language what bread and eggs are to the daily fare’.Jespersen’s comment reveals the importance of Scandinavian words in English.Just as people cannot live without bread and eggs, so English language cannot operate properly without Scandinavian words.11.Match the Italian musical terms with the proper definitionsallegro, f轻快andante, j 行板diminuendo, g 渐弱largo, d 缓慢pianoforte, a轻转慢alto, i女低音crescendo, b渐强forte, e强piano, h轻soprano, c女高音12.Look up these words in a dictionary to determine the language from whicheach has been borrowed.cherub (Hebrew) snorkel (G)coolie (Hindi)tulip (Turk)lasso (Sp)wok (Ch)shampoo (Hindi)chocolate (Mex)tepee (AmInd)jubilee (Gr)kibitz (G)Sabbath (Heb)chipmunk (AmInd)tamale (Mex)cotton (Arab)voodoo (Afr)loot (Hindi)sauerbraten (G)13.Here is a menu of loan words from various sources. Choose a word to fill ineach space.a. alligatorb. lococ. rodeod. bonanzae. igloof. blitzkriegg. wigwam h. canoei. hurricane j. boomerangk. panchos14.Describe the characteristics of the contemporary vocabulary.The characteristics of the contemporary vocabulary can be summarized as follows: (1) the vocabulary is huge in size and heterogeneous; (2) it has tremendous borrowings from all major languages of the world; (3) the words have lost most of their endings; (4) it is growing swiftly by means of word-formation because of the development of science and technology, social, economic and political changes and influence of other cultures and languages.15.What are the major modes of vocabulary development in contemporaryEnglish?The major modes of vocabulary development of contemporary are creation, that is means of word-formation; semantic change, adding new meanings to old words; borrowing words from other languages and revival or old-fashioned words, which has a insignificant role.【练习答案】1.Write the terms in the blanks according to the definitions.a. morphemeb. allomorphc. bound morphemed. free morphemee. affixf. informational affixg. derivational affix h. rooti. stem j. base2.What is the difference between grammatical and lexical morphemes, and inflectionaland derivational morphemes? Give examples to illustrate their relationships.Inflectional morphemes are the suffixes added to the end of words to denote grammatical concepts such as -s(-es), -ed, -ing and -est(to show superlative degree of adjectives and adverbs) whereas derivational morphemes are prefixes and suffixes added to words to form new words such as pre-, dis-, un-, -tion, -er, -ness and so on.Grammatical morphemes are those used to show grammatical concepts, including reflectional suffixes as mentioned above and functional words (prepositions, pronouns, articles, auxiliary verbs), for example, but, the, do and was; lexical morphemes are derivational affixes including both prefixes and suffixes.3. Analyse the words in terms of root, stem and base.individualisticindividualist + ic [stem, base]individual + ist [stem, base]individu + al [stem, base]in + dividu [root, stem, base]undesirablesun + desirable [stem, base]desir + able [root, stem, base]anize the following terms in a tree diagram to show their logical relationships.free morpheme = free rootmorpheme bound rootbound morpheme inflectional affixaffix prefixderivational affixsuffix【练习答案】Enumerate the three important means of word formation and explain their respective role in the expansion of English vocabulary.The three important means of word formation are affixation, which creates 30-40% of the total number of new words; compounding, which brings 28-30% of all the new words; and conversion which provides English with 26% of the new words. Affixation1.What is affixation? What is its alternative name?Affixation, also called derivation, is the formation of new words by adding affixes to stems. Affixation includes prefixation and suffixation according to the type of affixes used to form new words.2.What is the difference between prefixation and suffixation?Prefixation is to create new words by adding prefixes to bases and suffixation makes new words by adding suffixes to bases.3.What are the characteristics of prefixes and suffixes?Generally speaking, prefixes do not change part of speech of bases but their meaning whereas suffixes do change part of speech but modify the meaning of bases.4.What is the best way to classify prefixes? Why?The best way to classify prefixes is on the basis of meaning because prefixes change the meanings of bases only in general.5.Form negatives with each of the following words by using one of theseprefixes dis-, il-, im-, in-, ir-, non-, un-.non-smoker incapable impracticaldisobey insecurity irrelevantimmature inability/disability unofficiallyunwillingness illegal disagreementillogical disloyal inconvenientnon-athletic6.Turn the following nouns and adjectives into verbs with -en, -ify, -ize andthen choose them to fill in the blanks in the sentences that follow.harden horrify modernizememorize falsify apologizedeepen glorify sterilizelengthen intensify beautifyfatten sympathizea.apologizedb.beautifyc.lengtheningd.sympathizede.fattenf.falsifyg.memorizing h.Sterilize7.Each of the following sentences contains a word printed in italics.

The same is true of the criteria. There are examples against each of the three rules.2.Analyse the following compound words and explain their internalgrammatical relationship.heartbeat [S + V]brainwashing [V + O]movie-goer [place + V]baking powder [ V +adv]far- reaching [V + adv]dog-tired [adv + a]lion-hearted [adv + a]love-sick [adv + a]boyfriend [S + complement]peace-loving [V +O]snap decision [V + O]easy chair [ a + n]on-coming [V +adv]tax-free [adv +a]light-blue [a + a]goings-on [V +adv]3.What are the usual methods to form compound verbs? Give examples.There two ways to form verb compounds. For example, first name (v from first name), honeymoon(v from honeymoon) are words created by means of conversion; words such as proofread (v from proofreading) and chain-smoke (v from chain smoker) are formed by means of backformation.4.Form compounds using the following either as the first or the second element ofthe compound as indicated and translate the words into Chinese.well-bred有教养的well-behaved守规矩的culture-bound含文化的homebound回家的needle work针织品homework家庭作业praiseworthy值得表扬得respectworthy值得尊敬的bar-woman吧女sportswoman运动员nation-wide全国的college-wide全校的clear-minded头脑清晰的strong-minded意志坚强的military-style军事风格的newstyle新款self-control自制self-respect自尊budget-related有预算的politics-related与政治相关的water-proof防水fire-proof放火once-fashionable曾经流行的once-powerful曾经强大的news-film新闻片news-letter实事通讯mock-attack演习mock-sadness假悲伤sister-in-law嫂/弟媳妇father-in-law岳父/公公home-baked自家烤的home-produced自制的half-way半途/半道half-done半生不熟ever-lasting永久ever-green常青age-conscious年龄敏感的status-conscious身份敏感campus-based以校园为基地的market-based基于市场的Conversion1.What is conversion? What do you think of the alternatives functional shiftand zero-derivation?Conversion is to use words of one part of speech as those of another part of speech. The term functional shift reveals the actual function of conversion, i.e.change of the functions of words. The term zero-derivation approaches conversion from the perspective of derivation because it is a way of deriving new words by adding zero affixes, hence zero derivation.2.In what way is conversion different from suffixation?Although both are called derivation, suffixation is the derivation of new words by adding suffixes to bases, such as simple (adj) → simpli fy (v) whereas conversionis the derivation of new words by adding zero affixes, such as single (adj) → single(v).3.What classes of words are most frequently converted?The classes frequently involved in conversion are nouns, verbs and adjectives. 4.In what way are verbs converted from nouns semantically related to theoriginal nouns and versa?Verbs converted to nouns usually are related to the original verbs in six different ways. The new nouns converted from verbs refer to (1) state of mind or sensation, e.g. desire(state of desiring); (2) event or activity, e.g. swim(the activity of swimming) ; (3) result of the action, e.g. buy (the result of buying); (4) doer of the action, e.g. bore (the person who bores); (5) tool or instrument, e.g.paper (doing something with paper) and (6) place, e.g. turn (the place of turning).Nouns converted to verbs are generally related to the original nouns in seven different ways. The new verbs usually mean (1) to put in or on the noun, e.g.bottle (to put into the bottle); (2) to give the noun or provide with the noun, e.g.finance(to provide with finance); (3) to remove the noun from, e.g. peel(to remove the peel from); (4) to do with the noun, e.g. shoulder (to do something with shoulder); (5) to be or act as the noun, e.g. tutor (to be the tutor); (6) to make or change into the noun, e.g. cash (to change into cash) and (7) to send or go by the noun, e.g. ship (to send by ship).5.Explain partial conversion and full conversion with examples.When adjectives are converted into nouns, .some are completely changed, thus known as full conversion, and others are partially changed, thus known as partial conversion. Adjectives which are fully converted can achieve a full noun status, e.i. having all the characteristics of nouns. That is they can take a/an or-s/-es to indicate singular or plural forms: a native, a Republican, a pair of shorts, finals. Adjectives which are partially converted still keep adjective features. They should always be used with the, and they cannot take -s/-es to show plural forms. Moreover, the words can have comparative or superlative degrees: the poor, the poorer, the young, the very unfortunate.6.What changes are occasionally involved in the process of conversion?The changes occasionally involved are (1) change of spelling accompanied by pronunciation, e.g. life /laif/ → live /liv/, breath /breθ/ → breathe /bri:ð/ and blood /bl∧d→bleed/bli:d/; (2) change of pronunciation and stress, e.g. use n /ju:s/→ use v/ju:z/ and permit n /`pə:mit/ → v /pə`mit/ and so on.7.Pick out the words which you think are converted in the following sentencesand tell how they are converted.a.stomach [n → v]b.room [n → v]c.wolf [n → v]e/go [v → n]e.familiar [a → n]f.innocent [a → n]g.flat [a → n]h. ah/ ouch [int → v]i.warm [a → n]j.has-been/might-have-been [finite v → n]k.Hamlet [proper n → v]l.buy [v → n]m.smooth [a → v]BlendingAnalyse the blends and translate them into Chinese.motel (mo tor + ho tel)汽车旅馆humint (hum an + int elligence)情报advertisetics (advertise ment + statis tics)广告统计学psywarrior(psy chological warrior)心理战专家hoverport (hover craft + port)气垫船码头chunnel (ch annel + t unnel) 海峡隧道hi-fi (hi gh + fi delity) 高保真音响cinemactress (cinem a + actress)电影演员ClippingRestore the full forms of the following words and see how these slipped words are formed.copter (heli copter)front clippingdorm (dorm itory)back clippinglab (lab oratory)back clippingprefab (prefab ricated house)phrase clippinggas (gas oline)back clippingprof (prof essor) back clippingscope (tele scope)front clippingchamp (champ ion)back clippingsarge (serge ant)back clippingmike (mic rophone)back clippingad (ad vertisement)back clippingtec (de tec tive)front and back clippingAcronymy1.Both initialisms and acronyms are formed to a certain extent from initialletters. Is there any difference between them? Illustrate your point with examples.Yes, there is difference between them. The difference lies in the formation and pronunciation. Initialisms are formations pronounced letter by letter, e.g. UFO /ju:efou/ (unidentified flying object), BBC /bi:bi:ci:/ (British Broadcasting Corporation), VIP /vi:aipi:/ (very important person) and acronyms are formed to conform to the rule of spelling and pronunciation, that is the words look and sound like ordinary words, e.g. AIDS/`eiz/ (a cquired i mmune d eficiency s yndrome) , MAD/mæd/ (m utually a ssured d estruction), radir/`neidə/ (ra diod etecting a nd r anging).2.What do the short forms stand for?kg = k ilo g ram ft = f oo t cf = c on f ercm = c enti m eter$ = dollar ibid = ibid emetc. = et c etera VIP = v ery i mportant p ersonOPEC = O rganization of P etroleum E xporting C ountriesTOEFL = t eaching o f E nglish as a f oreign l anguage3.Choose a word from the list to fill each of the blanks.a. SALTb. radarc. AIDSd. BASICe. Laserf. WHOg. sonar h. G-manBackformation1.Both back-formation and back-clipping are ways of making words byremoving the endings of words. How do you account for the coexistence of the two? Can you illustrate the difference?It is true that both are means of making new words by removing the end part of the words. But they have difference. For a back-formed word, what is removed is supposed to be the suffix, e.g. auth← auth or, donate← donat ion, loaf← loaf er, the forms -or, -ion, -er coincide with the three suffixes. For back clipping, however, what is removed is usually difference from the existing suffixes, e.g.ad← ad vertisement, gas ← gas oline, exam ← exam ination, etc.2.Give the original words from which the following words are back-formed.lase (laser)escalate (escalator)babysit (babysitter)peeve (peevish)orate (orator)commute (commuter)Commonization of Proper NamesStudy the following sentences and pick out the words which used to be proper names and explain the meanings in relation to their origins.a. tantalize—Tantalus: to tease or torment by keeping sth. wanted out of reachb. Argus-eyed—Argus: to be extremely watchfulc. narcissism—Narcissus: excessive admiration of oneself or one’s appearanced. sabotage—sabots: (1) to destroy or damage deliberately;(2) deliberate damage or destructione. martinet—Martinet: strict/stern (military) trainerf. yahoo—Yahoo: a lout or ruffiang. Shylock—Shylock: a ruthless money lenderh. hoovering—Hoover: cleaning by using a vacuum cleaneri. utopia—Utopia: an imaginary place of ideal perfectionj. Uncle Tommism—Uncle Tom: behaving subserviently to whitesChapter 5【练习答案】1.What is reference?Reference is the connection between the word form and what the form refers to in the world.2.What is concept?Concept is a notion or idea, formed in the mind as a result of cognition, which reflects the objective world.3.What is sense?The sense of a word shows its place in a system of semantic relationships with other words in the language. It is often used to substitute meaning.4.What is motivation? Does this theory contradict the theory of ‘arbitrariness’and ‘conventionality’ concerning the relationship between linguistic symbols and their senses?Motivation explains the relationship between the linguistic symbol and its meanings, or the logical reason why a certain word has a certain meaning.As mentioned earlier, the relationship between sound and meaning is arbitrary and conventional. Motivation seems to contradict the definition. The answer is ‘yes and no’. By ‘yes’, we mean all the mono-morphemic words in a language are non-motivated except a few onomatopoeic words which imitate the natural noises. By no, we mean all the multi-morphemic words are motivated, for in many cases the meaning of the whole word is the combination of the morphemes. The morphemic structure explains the meaning.5.What are the four types of motivation? Explain them with examples.The four types of motivation are onomatopoeic motivation, morphological motivation, semantic motivation and etymological motivation. Onomatopoeic motivation explains onomatopoeic words whose meaning is based on the pronunication of the words such as mieow, thump, peng etc.; morphological motivation explains the words whose morphological structure throws light on their meaning, such profiteer(profit + eer), darkroom(dark + room), deconstruction(de + construct + ion), etc.; semantic motivation explains the figurative meaning of words whose literal meaning suggests the figurative meaning such as the tongue of fire, the mouth of the river, the face of the earth;etymological motivation explains the words whose meaning is closely related to their origins such as banting (therapy for keeping slim by going on a diet discovered by Doctor Banting) and Brille (language used by the blind created by Brille).6.Match the words in Column A with those in column B.apes—gibber birds—sing/twittercattle—low crickets-chirpdoves—coo foxes—yelpgeese—gabble sheep—bleatwolves—howl monkeys—chatterpigs—grunt hyenas—laughturkeys—gobble swans—cry7.What is the difference between grammatical meaning and lexical meaning?Grammatical meaning refers to the part of meaning which shows grammatical relationship such as part of speech of words, plural forms of nouns, tense of verbs, etc. and lexical meaning includes all the rest of the meanings of a word apart from the frammatical meaning, i.e. conceptual meaing and associative meaning.8.What are the characterisitics of conceptual meaning and associative meaning?Conceptual meaning is fundamental, universal and stable whereas assocaitive meaning is secondary, contextual, open-ended or indeterminate, thus changing.9.What connotations do you think the word atomic nmight have for each of thefollowing people?a. A scientist working in a project to develop industrial uses for nuclearpower might have all the positive a ssociations with “atomic”, such as“benefit, energy”, etc.b. A Japanese resident of Hiroshima, victim of the atomic explosion at the endof World War II, might have all the negative associations with “atomic”, such as “suffering, killing, death, horror", etc.c.To a student of nuclear physics, “atomic” might be associated with “mystery,science, knowledge”, etc.10.All the words talkative, articulate, gossip, garrulous, rambling, fluent, gabby,mouthy can be describe a person’s ability of speech. What impression do you obtain of the person with the use of each of the words?talkative: implying a fondness for talking frequently and at length (neutral)articulate: expressing oneself easily and clearly (positive)gossip: indulging in idle talk or rumours about others (negative)garrulous: talking too much about trivial things (somewhat negative)rambling: talking aimlessly without connection of ideas (negative)fluent: speaking easily, smoothly, and expressively (positive)gabby: inclined to chatter (neutral)mouthy: overtly talkative, especially in a rude way (nagative)11.Put the following groups of words under Appreciative, Neutral and Pejorative.12.What are semantic features?Semantic features are the minimal semantic components of words which are abstracted from the words. These features are used to describe the sense of each words.13.What are the merits and demerits of componential ananlysis?Componential anaysis (CA) is useful mainly in three aspects. First, Componential anaysis reveal the semantic features of the sense of a word and helps one grasp the conceptual meaing of the word. Second, CA can help show the synonymy of two words by revealing their same components. Third, CA can help tell whethera collocation or syntactic structure is acceptable or not.However, problems are obvious. First, CA is appliable only to concrete words which have definite referents, but not to abstract words or words expressing abstract ideas or concepts. Second, CA is useful in revealing the conceptual meaning, but helpless in showing the figurative meaning of words. 14.Try to analyse the following words in terms of semantic opposition [±HUMAN],[±MALE], [±ADULT], [±BOVINE], [±GALLINE].bull[-HUMAN+MALE+ADULT+BOVINE]cow[-HUMAN-MALE+ADULT+BOVINE]calf[-HUMAN±MALE-ADULT+BOVINE]rooster[-HUMAN+MALE+ADULT+GALLINE]hen[-HUMAN-MALE+ADULT+GALLINE]chicken[-HUMAN±MALE±ADULT+GALLINE]Chapter 6【单元练习答案】Polysemy1.What is polysemy?Polysemy is a sense relation that deals with words of more than one meaning.It is the result of semantic change.2.When a word is created, it is monosemous. Then how does the word acquireits new meanings and become polysemous? Illustrate your point with examples.Take “neck” for example. It has five senses: (1) that part of a man or animal joining the head to the body;(2) that part of the garment;(3) the neck of an animal used as food;(4) a narrow part between the head and body or base of any object;(5) the narrowest part of anything.Of these five meanings,(1)is the meaning given to the word when it was created and all the rest were derived later on in the process of development.3.What is the fundamental difference between radiation and concatenation?A word develop its meaning through the process of either radiation orconcatenation, and in many cases, of both.Radiation is a semantic process which shows that the primary meaning and。

• Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs. ‘They are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning’. In other words the phonetic or orthographic strings or segments which realize morphemes are termed ‘morphs’. Most morphemes are realized by single morphs like bird, tree, green, sad, want, desire, etc.. These morphemes coincide with words as they can stand by themselves and function freely in a sentence. Words of this kind are called monomorphemic words. Some morphemes, however, are realized by more than one morph according to their position in a word.

Chapter three Morphological Structure of English Words
3.1 Morphemes
• Traditionally, words are usually treated as the basic and minimal units of a language to make sentences, which are combinations of words according to syntactic rules. Structurally, however, a word is not the smallest unit because many words can be separated into even smaller meaningful units. These minimal meaningful units are known as morphemes (morphe is the Greek word for “form”; -eme as in “phoneme” means ‘class of’).

Robertson(rev.)1957: 174Words taken over from foreign languages are known as borrowed wordsor loan words or borrowings in simple terms. English is a heavy borrower and has adopted words from all other major languages of the world. It is estimated that English borrowings constitute 80 percent of the modern English vocabulary. As is stated in Encyclopedia Americana, “The English language has vast debts. In any dictionary some 80% of the entries are borrowed”(1980 V ol.10, p.423).The English language is noted for the remarkable complexity and heterogeneity of its vocabulary because of its extensive borrowings. Baugh(1978)talks of the English vocabulary as “cosmopolitan vocabulary”, which reveals the true nature of the English vocabulary.

• It should be mentioned that anti- is different from counter-in that the former suggests simply an attitude of opposition whereas the latter implies an action in opposition to or in response to a previous action. A counterattack can take place only if there has already been a attack. In times of peace, however, there are still a lot of anti-war people

1.3 Sound and Form
• The written form should agree with the oral form.In other words, the sound should be similar to the form.
• The pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years, and in some cases the two have drawn far apart.
• Terminology • Jargon • Slang • Argot • Dialectal words • Archaisms • Neologisms
1.1 What Is a Word
↓
• A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function.
• “词,今指语言组织中的基本单位,能独立运用,具有声 音、意义和语法功能。”(《辞海》1984 (上)375页, 上海辞书出版社)
(Bloomfield, 1993:177-178)

A Course in English Lexicology
• Why should we learn lexicology?
• Language learning includes the learning of pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, among which vocabulary is essential. A famous scholar Werkers once said, without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed. And, no matter how well the student learns grammar, no matter how successfully he masters the sounds of a second language, without words to express a wide range of meanings, communication in that language can’t happen in any meaningful way.

It is made up of most of the languages of Europe, the Near East and India. English belongs to this family and the other members of the Indo-European have more or less influence on English vocabulary. A knowledge of the Indo-European Language Family will help us understand English words better and use them more appropriately.2. Indo-European Language FamilyBalto-Slavic Indo-Iranian Celtic Italian Hellenic GermanicRoumanian Hindi Breton Spanish Greek EnglishLithuanian Persian Scottish French SwedishPrussian Irish Italian GermanPolish Portuguese NorweigianSlavenian IcelandicRussian DanishBulgarian Dutch6.When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.Most of the content words are either of Greek or Latin origin. What are left are mostly functional words. This shows that Greek and Latin play a very important part in the English vocabulary.8. eventful [Latin + English] hydroplane [Greek + Latin]falsehood [ Latin + English] pacifist [Latin + Greek]saxophone [German + Greek]heirloom [ French + English]joss house [ Portuguese + English] t elevision[Greek + Latin]9.amateur (late) finacé (late) empire (early) peace (E) courage (E) garage (L)judgement (E) chair (E) chaise (L)grace (E) servant (E) routine (L)jealous (E) savaté (L) genre (L)gender (E) début (L) morale (L)state (E) chez (L) ballet (L)11.allegro, f轻快andante, j 行板diminuendo, g 渐弱largo, d 缓慢pianoforte, a轻转慢alto, i女低音crescendo, b渐强forte, e 强piano, h轻soprano, c女高音12.cherub (Hebrew) snorkel (G)coolie (Hindi) tulip (Turk)lasso (Sp) wok (Ch)shampoo (Indian) chocolate (Mex) tepee (Am Ind) jubilee (Gr)kibitz (G) Sabbath (Heb) chipmunk (Am Ind) tamale (Mex)cotton (Arab) voodoo (Afr)loot (Hindi) sauerbraten (G)13.a. alligatorb. lococ. rodeod. bonanzae. igloof. blitzkriegg. wigwam h. canoei. hurricane j. boomerangk. panchos【Chapter 3】1. a. morpheme b. allomorphc. bound morphemed. free morphemee. affixf. informational affixg. derivational affix h. rooti. stem j. base3. individualisticindividualist + ic [stem, base]individual + ist [stem, base]individu + al [stem, base]in + dividu [root, stem, base]undesirablesun + desirable [stem, base]desir + able [root, stem, base]free morpheme = free rootmorpheme bound rootbound morpheme inflectional affixaffix prefixderivational affixsuffix 【Chapter 4】Affixation5. non-smoker incapable impracticaldisobey insecurity irrelevantimmature inability/disability unofficiallyunwillingness illegal disagreement illogical disloyal inconvenientnon-athletic6. harden horrify modernizememorize falsify apologizedeepen glorify sterilizelengthen intensify beautifyfatten sympathizea. apologizedb. beautifyc. lengtheningd. sympathizede. fattenf. falsifyg. memorizing h.

Here the butcher cleverly uses the pair of homonyms meat and meet to make a pun. It makes a proper answer to the l ady’s question. (1) Butchers cannot make both ends meat (make whole sausages with all meat) because they cannot make both ends meet (If they made sausages with all meat, which is more costly, they would not earn enough money to survive.)( 2) Don’t complain. All the butchers do the same. I am not the only one who is making sausages with bread.2) Swallow is a bird which is seen in summer. But by one swallow we see, wecannot deduce that it is already summer time. Swallow can also mean amouthful of wine. On a cold winter day, if one has a swallow of wine, one may feel warm.3) arms has two meanings: weapons; the human upper limbs. Since “a cannonball took off his legs”, the soldier was not able to fight on, so he “laid down his arms”, which means “surrender”. It can also mean he laid down his upper limbs.Synonymy3. avaricious: greedycourteously: politelyemancipate: set freecustomary: usualwidth: breadthadversary: opponentgullible: deceivedremainder: residueinnocent: sinlessobstacle: obstructionvexation: annoyance5. a. identifiable b. safetyc. motivatesd. delicatee. surroundingsf. artificialg. prestige h. perspirei. accomplishment j. silentk. impressive l. evaporate6. run move spinturn whirl roll7. a. stead b. gee-gee c. riped. maturee. effectivef. efficientg. fatigued, children h. tired, kidsi. declined j. refused k. rancidl. addled m.

In Sentence 1, got, furniture, recently are superordinates because they are generaland convey a very vague idea whereas in Sentence 2, the three words are replacedrespectively by bought, cupboard, three days ago, which are subordinates, conveying a definite and clear idea. So Sentence 2 is better than Sentence 1.In 3, it is said, magnificent building, destroyed, yesterday are superordinate terms, which are comparatively much more general than the news says, Royal Hotel, burnt down, last night respectively in 4, which can be described as subordinates.Since 4 is clearer than 3 in meaning, it is better.Semantic field3. Group 1 is synonymously semantic field and Group 2 is semantic filed. Thedifference lies: In 1 the words are synonyms, none of them covers the meaning of another, and they differ only in style and emotive values. In 2 the words are not synonyms, but each refers to a specific type of horse. Horse is a cover term or superordinate, and others are subordinates. These terms have no difference in style or affective meaning.【Chapter 7】4. 1) extension 2) extension3) narrowing 4) degradation5) elevation 6) narrowing7) extension 8) extension9) narrowing 10) elevation11) narrowing 12) degradation13) degradation 14) degradation5. a. associated transferb. abstract to concretec. abstract to concreted. abstract to concretee. abstract to concretef. abstract of concreteg. associated transferh. associated transferi. synesthesiaj. synesthesia6. a. objective b. subjective, objectivec. objectived. subjectivee. subjectivef. subjectiveg. subjective h. subjective, objective7. a. die b. graveyardc. bedlam疯人院d. old peoplee. strikef.
