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

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

Definition of Politeness Principle2. Six Maxims of PPⅢ. Face considerations in using English1. Definition of Face considerations2. The consistence of Face considerationsⅣ. Using English as a rhetorical act1. The purpose of Using English as a rhetorical act2. Two devices of Using English as a rhetorical actⅤ. Using English as a cultural actGeneral IntroductionⅠ. Cooperation in using English(英语语言应用中的合作原则)1. Definition of Cooperation Principle(合作原则的定义)Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.使你所说的话,在其所发生的阶段,符合你所参与的交谈的公认目标或方向。
2. Four Maxims of CP(合作原则的四条准则)①The maxim of quality: requires the speaker to be truthful(质量准则:要求说话人的话语真实)a. Do not say what you believe to be false;不要说自知是不真实的话;b. Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.不要说缺乏足够证据的话。
②The maxim of quantity: requires the speaker to be informative(数量准则:要求说话人提供信息)a. Make your contribution as informative as required (for the current purposes of the exchange);使你的话语包含交谈所需要的信息(按照当前交流需要);b. Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.你的话语不用包含超出需要的信息。
③The maxim of relation: requires the speaker to be relevant(关系准则:要求说话者说话有关联)Make sure that whatever you say is relevant to the conversation at hand.保证你说的任何话语都与当时的对话有关。
④The Maxim of Manner: requires the speaker to be clear and lucid(方式准则:要求说话者表达清晰)a. Avoid obscurity of expression避免晦涩b. Avoid ambiguity避免歧义c. Be brief做到简练d. Be orderly井井有条3. Violation of the CP(合作原则的违反)(1) by violation (which is likely to mislead); e.g. to tell lies.违反合作原则(可能产生误导);例如:说谎话。
(2) by opting out (saying, for example, “I don’t want to talk about it”);退出对话(例如:“我现在不想谈论这个问题。
”)(3) by fulfilling one at the expense of another owing to a conflict of maxims. (you cannot be as informative as is required if you do not have enough evidence); for example:为了满足一个准则而违反另一个准则。
(如果你没有足够的证据就不能提供足够的信息);例如:A: Where does Tom live? 汤姆住在那儿?B: Somewhere in the suburbs of the city. 城市郊区某个地方。
(4) by blatantly flouting a maxim; for example:公然违反准则;例如:A: Let’s get the kids something.让我们给孩子买些东西吧!B: Okay, but I veto I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M.好,但是我反对买冰淇淋!4. Implicature vs. Implication(会话含义vs. 含义)(1) Definition of a conversational implicature(会话含义的定义)A conversational implicature is something that is implied in conversation or beyond. Implicature is different from the familiar term “implication”because the latter technically defines a logical relationship between two propositions: 会话含义是指在会话过程中所暗含的意思,它有别于逻辑上所指的技术用语假设。
(2) The character of conversational implicature(会话含义的特点)In everyday talk, we often convey propositions that are not explicit in our utterances but are merely implied by them. Basically we seem to be dealing here with a regularity that cannot be captured in any straightforward syntactic or semantic analysis, but has to be accounted for in other ways.在日常谈话中,我们经常转移暗指我们谈话的命题而并非所指我们正在谈论的话语。
实质上,我们在处理规则上是以其它的方式而非根据直接的句法或语意分析。
Ⅱ. Politeness in using English(英语语言应用中的礼貌原则)1.
