第八章语言的演变*********************************************************是语言改变了世界,还是世界改变了语言?语言在变化,你无法阻挡。

语言就从你那里开始变化,你无法拒绝。

*********************************************************第一节语言演变的原因和特点语言的演变是指语言中新的语言要素的产生和旧的语言要素的消亡。

语言的演变是一个随社会发展的需要,新的语言要素的产生、旧的语言要素的消亡、语言各部分之间相对平衡的不断被打破和不断被建立的过程。

一、语言演变的原因随着社会的发展,新事物、新概念不断产生,人们的思维也越来越细致复杂,这些都会向语言提出新的要求。

为了满足这些要求,语言也就不断地丰富词汇,改进语法。

(二)语言结构要素的相互影响引起语言的演变。

内部的系统原因语言结构要素的相互影响是引起语言演变的内部原因语言的形式(声音)和内容(意义)结合的任意性决定了语言符号变化的可能性。

这种任意性决定了语言成分的形式与内容之间永远存在着既相适应又不相适应的矛盾。

语言就是在这种“矛盾对立——矛盾统一——矛盾对立”的斗争过程中不断发展的。

中古时期的汉语“甘”[kam]、“鸽”[ kap]、“割”[ kat35],现代汉语普通话读成了[kan55] 、[ ke55] 、[ ke55] ,辅音韵尾的丢失,导致汉语音节结构发生了很大的变化——音节结构的双音化——双音词的出现。

二、语言演变的特点1、渐变性语言是人类须臾不可或离的工具,它的演变,自然不能采取爆发的方式。

语言从旧质过渡到新质不是经过爆发,不是经过消灭现存的语言和创造新的语言,而是经过新质要素的逐渐积累,旧质要素的逐渐死亡来实现的。

2、不平衡性语言演变的不平衡性,主要是指语言系统的各个要素的发展速度不同,有快有慢。

这是由语言系统的各个要素与社会发展的联系的密切与否决定的。

Chapter8语言学Chapter 8 Language in UseWhat is pragmatics? What’s the difference between pragmatics and semantics?Pragmatics is the study of the use of language in communication, particularly the relationships between sentences and the contexts and situations in which they are used. Pragmatics includes the study of(1) How the interpretation and use of utterances depends on knowledge of the real world;(2) How speakers use and understand speech acts;(3) How the structure of sentences is influenced by the relationship between the speakerand the hearer.Pragmatics is sometimes contrasted with semantics, which deals with meaning without reference to the users and communicative functions of sentences.8.1 Speech act theory8.1.1 Performatives and constatives1. Performative: In speech act theory an utterance which performs an act, suchas Watch out (= a warning).2. Constative: An utterance which asserts something that is either true or force.E.g. Chicago is in the United States.3. Felicity conditions of performatives:(1) There must be a relevant conventional procedure, and the relevantparticipants and circumstances must be appropriate.(2) The procedure must be executed correctly and completely.(3) Very often, the relevant people must have the requisite thoughts, feelingsand intentions, and must follow it up with actions as specified.8.1.2 A theory of the illocutionary act1. What is a speech act?A speech act is an utterance as a functional unit in communication. In speechact theory, utterances have two kinds of meaning.Propositional meaning (locutionary meaning): This is the basic literal meaning of the utterance which is conveyed by the particular words and structureswhich the utterance contains.Illocutionary meaning (illocutionary force): This is the effect the utterance or written text has on the reader or listener. E.g. in I’m thirsty, the propositionalmeaning is what the utterance says about the speaker’s physical state. Theillocutionary force is the effect the speaker wants the utterance to have on thelistener. It may be intended as request for something to drink.A speech act is asentence or utterance which has both propositional meaning and illocutionaryforce.A speech act which is performed indirectly is sometimes known as an indirectspeech act, such as the speech act of the requesting above. Indirect speech acts areoften felt to be more polite ways of performing certain kinds of speech act, such asrequests and refusals.2. Locutionary act: A distinction is made by Austin in the theory of speech actsbetween three different types of acts involved in or caused by the utterance ofa sentence. A locutionary act is the saying of something which is meaningfuland can be understood.3. Illocutionary act: An illocutionary act is using a sentence to perform afunction.4. Perlocutionary act: A perlocutionary act is the results or effects that areproduced by means of saying something.8.2 The theory of conversational implicature8.2.1 The cooperative principle1. The cooperative principle (CP)Cooperative principle refers to the “co-operation” between speakers in using the maxims during the conversation. There are four conversational maxims:(1) The maxim of quantity:a. Make your contribution as informative as required.b. Don’t make your contribution more informative than is required.(2) The maxim of quality: Try to make your contribution one that is true.a. Don’t say what you believe to be false.b. Don’t say that for which you lack adequate evidence.(3) The maxim of relation: Say things that are relevant.(4) The maxim of manner: Be perspicuous.a. Avoid obscurity of expression.b. Avoid ambiguity.c. Be brief.d. Be orderly.2. Conversational implicature: The use of conversational maxims to implymeaning during conversation is called conversational implicature.8.2.2 Violation of the maxims[In fact this is taken from one of my essays. Only for reference. ^_^ - icywarmtea]1. Conversational implicatureIn our daily life, speakers and listeners involved in conversation are generally cooperating with each other. In other words, when people are talking with eachother, they must try to converse smoothly and successfully. In accepting speakers’presuppositions, listeners have to assume that a speaker is not trying to misleadthem. This sense of cooperation is simply one in which people having aconversation are not normally assumed to be trying to confuse, trick, or withholdrelevant information from one another.However, in real communication, the intention of the speaker is often not the literal meaning of what he or she says. The real intention implied in the words iscalled conversational implicature. For example:[1] A: Can you tell me the time?B: Well, the milkman has come.In this little conversation, A is asking B about the time, but B is not answering directly. That indicates that B may also not no the accurate time, but throughsaying “the milkman has come”, he is in fact giving a rough time. T he answer Bgives is related to the literal meaning of the words, but is not merely that. That isoften the case in communication. The theory of conversational implicature is forthe purpose of explaining how listeners infer the speakers’ intention through thewords.2. The CPThe study of conversational implicature starts from Grice (1967), the American philosopher. He thinks, in daily communication, people are observing aset of basic rules of cooperating with each other so as to communicate effectivelythrough conversation. He calls this set of rules the cooperative principle (CP)elaborated in four sub-principles (maxims). That is the cooperative principle.We assume that people are normally going to provide an appropriate amount of information, i.e. they are telling the relevant truth clearly. The cooperativeprinciple given by Grice is an idealized case of communication.However, there are more cases that speakers are not fullyadhering to the principles. But the listener will assume that the speaker is observing the principles“in a deeper degree”. For example:[2] A: Where is Bill?B: There is a yellow car outside Sue’s house.In [2], the speaker B seems to be violating the maxims of quantity and relation, but we also assume that B is still observing the CP and think about the relationshipbetween A’s question and the “yellow car” in B’s answer. If Bill has a yellow car,he may be in Sue’s house.If a speaker violate CP by the principle itself, there is no conversation at all, so there cannot be implicature. Implicature can only be caused by violating one ormore maxims.3. Violation of the CP(1) The people in conversation may violate one or more maxims secretly. Inthis way, he may mislead the listener.For this case, in the conversation [2] above, we assume that B is observing the CP and Bill has a yellow car. But if B is intentionally trying tomislead A to think that Bill is in Sue’s house, we will be misled without knowing. In this case, if one “lies” in conversation, there is no implicature in the conversation, only the misleading.(2) He may declare that he is not observing the maxims or the CP.In this kind of situation, the speaker directly declares he is not cooperating. He has made it clear that he does not want togo on with the conversation, so there is no implicature either.(3) He may fall into a dilemma.For example, for the purpose observing the first principle of the maxim of quantity (make your contribution as informative as is required), he may be violating the second principle of the maxim of quality (do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence).For this case, Grice gave an example:[3] A: Where does C live?B: Somewhere in the south of France.In [3], if B knows that A is going to visit C, his answer is violating the maxim of quantity, because he is not giving enough information about where C lives. But he has not declared that he will not observe the maxims. So we can know that B knows if he gives more information, he will violate the principle “do not say that for which you lack ad equate evidence”. In other words, he has fallen into a “dilemma”. So we can infer that his implicature is that he does not know the exact address of C. In this case, there is conversational implicature.(4) He may “flout” one or more maxims. In other w ord s, he may beobviously not observing them.The last situation is the typical case that can make conversational implicature. Once the participant in a conversation has made an implicature, he or she is making use one of the maxims. We can see that from the following examples:[4] A: Where are you going with the dog?B: To the V-E-T.In [4], the dog is known to be able to recognize the word “vet” and to hate being taken there. Therefore, A makes theword spelled out. Here he is “flouting” the maxim of mann er, making the implicature that he does not want the dog to know the answer to the question just asked.[5] (In a formal get-together)A: Mrs. X is an old bag.B: The weather has been quite delightful this summer, hasn’t it?B is intentionally violating the maxim of relation in [5], implicating thatwhat A has said is too rude and he should change a topic.8.2.3 Characteristics of implicature1. Calculability2. Cancellability / defeasibility3. Non-detachability4. Non-conventionality8.3 Post-Gricean developments8.3.1 Relevance theoryThis theory was formally proposed by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in their book Relevance: Communication and Cognition in 1986. They argue that all Griceanmaxims, including the CP itself, should be reduced to a single principle of relevance,which is defined as: Every act of ostensive communication communicates thepresumption of its own optimal relevance.8.3.2 The Q- and R-principlesThese principles were developed by L. Horn in 1984. The Q-principle is intended to i nvoke the first maxim of Grice’s Quantity, and the R-principle the relation maxim,but the new principles are more extensive than the Griceanmaxims.The definition of the Q-principle (hearer-based) is:(1) Make your contribution sufficient (cf. quantity);(2) Say as much as you can (given R).The definition of the R-principle (speaker-based) is:(1) Make your contribution necessary (cf. Relation, Quantity-2, Manner);(2) Say no more than you must (given Q)8.3.3 The Q-, I- and M-principlesThis tripartite model was suggested by S. Levinson mainly in his 1987 paper Pragmatics and the Grammar of Anaphor: A Partial Pragmatic Reduction of Bindingand Control Phenomena. The contents of these principles are: Q-principle:Speaker’s maxim: Do not provide a statemen t that is informationally weaker than your knowledge of the world allows, unless providing a stronger statement wouldcontravene the I-principle.Recipient’s corollary: Take it that the speaker made the strongest statement consistent with what he knows, and therefore that:(1) If the speaker asserted A (W), and form a Horn scale, such that A (S) ||(A (W)), then one can infer K ~ (A (S)), i.e. that the speaker knows that the strongerstatement would be false.(2) If the speaker asserted A (W) and A (W) fails to entail an embedded sentenceQ, which a stronger statement A (S) would entail, and {S, W} form a contrast set, thenone can infer ~ K (Q), i.e. the speaker does not know whether Q obtains or not.I-principleSpeaker’s maxim: the maxim of minimizationSay as little as necessary, i.e. produce the minimal linguistic information sufficient to achieve your communicational ends.Recipient’s corollary: the enrichment ruleAmplify the informational content of the speaker’s utterance, by finding the most specific interpretation, up to what you judge to be the speaker’s m-intended point.M-principleSpeaker’s maxim: Do not use a prolix, obscure or marked expression without reason.Recipient’s corollary: If the speaker used a prolix or marked expression M, he did not mean the same as he would have, had he used the unmarked expression U –specifically he was trying to avoid the stereotypical associations and I-implicatures of U.。

英语语言学笔记第八章

英语语言学笔记第八章

第八章语言的使用在语义那一章里,我们谈到"意义"一词可以有不同的意义,并对其中的几种作了讨论。

但是还有一种重要的意义我们没有涉及到。

假定有人对你说"You're a fool(你是个傻子)",你一般都会反问:"What do you mean?(你什么意思)"。

这并不是因为你不知道句子中各词的意思,也不是因为句子的结构太复杂,让你难以理解。

你清楚地知道you指谁,fool是什么涵义,也知道句子的结构。

你不知道的是说话人说这句话究竟是什么意思,有什么意图。

或者,你知道说话人的意图,却想用"What do you mean(你什么意思)?"来反驳对方的说法。

你这里用的并不是句子的概念意义。

这种意义有时称为"说话者意义"、"语句意义"或者"语境意义"。

这种意义与我们在语义学中研究的意义不同,对它的解释更多地依赖于说话人是谁,听话人是谁,什么时候在什么地方说这句话。

总之就是取决于语境。

研究这种意义的学科叫语用学。

因为这种意义部分来自语言的使用环境,语用学也可以被定义为研究语言使用的学科。

现在如果我们把意义分成两大类:一类与所用的词密切相关,较稳定,是固有意义(语义学研究的意义);另一类与语境密切相关,不太确定,是附加意义(语用学研究的意义),那么我们就可以说pragmatics=meaning - semantics(语用学意义= 意义- 语义学意义)。

8.1 言语行为理论这个理论是牛津哲学家奥斯汀(J. L. Austin)提出的,是研究语言使用的第一个重要理论。

奥斯汀从1952年开始讲授他的理论。

1955年,他去美国哈佛大学做威廉·詹姆斯(William James)讲座时,修订了自己的讲稿,把题目从《言与行》(Words and Deeds)改成了《怎样用词做事》(How to Do Things with Words)。

考研语⾔学第⼋章笔记笔记Pragmatics:It is the study of language in use, focusing on the study of speaker's meaning, utterance meaning or contextual meaning.* pragmatics and semantics区别1.Pragmatics' interpretation depends more on who the speaker of the sentence is, who the hearer is, when and where it is used.= it depends more on the context.2.It takes context into consideration while semantics concentrates on the study of literal meaning without context.3.It can also be defined as the study of language in use.Pragmatics and semantics 联系Semantics: studies the side more closely related to the words used, the more constant, inherent side of meaning. Pragmatics: studies the side more closely related to the context, the more indetermined side, or something extra.Speech Act TheoryPerformatives施为句and constatives叙事句Performatives: the statements which are used to do something. They do not describe a fact and they are not verifiable. (宣布,命名,许诺,打赌)I name this ship the Queen ElizabethI bequeath this watch to my brother.I promise to finish it in time.I find you guilty. You did it. Thank you. I order you to turn right. People are warned to keep off the grass.I state that I am alone responsible.I declare the meeting open.Constatives: the statements are used to state/describe a fact.They are verifiable.First i open the door then i sit next to the door.Though performatives cannot be true or false, there are still conditions for them to meet to be appropriate.----Austin, Felicity Conditions1.There must be a relevant conventional procedure. The relevant participants and circumstances must be appropriate.2.The procedure must be executed correctly and completely.3.The relevant people must have the requisite thoughts, feelings and intentions, and must follow it up with actions as specified.因为适合条件不够完善,只能使⽤于部分情况,所以Austin放弃了他最初对叙事句和施为句的区分,建⽴了另外⼀套模式来解释如何通过语⾔事实⾏为。

第八章语言的发展1.语言发展的原因语言作为社会现象和交际工具是随着社会的发展变化而不断发展变化的。

社会的发展是语言发展变化的基本条件,是语言发展的外因:社会的发展进步推动了语言的发展;社会的分化和统一影响并推动了语言的发展;社会之间的互相接触影响并推动着语言的发展;社会的变动影响并推动了语言的发展;社会的进步推动了人们思维的发展,思维的发展又直接影响了语言的发展。

语言内部矛盾是引起语言发展的内部原因:语言系统内部的各个要素之间以及每个要素的各个成分都处于对立统一的关系之中,相互间呈现出一种平衡的状态。

如果其中某一要素或某一成分发生了变化,原有的平衡被破坏,那么系统内部有关的要素或成分就会发生相应的变化,从而达到新的平衡。

于是它们内部就出现了从平衡到不平衡再到新的平衡的矛盾运动,从而推动了语言的发展。

2.语言发展演变的一般规律语言发展演变有渐变性规律:随着社会的发展以及由此产生的人们对语言提出的新的需要,语言必须随着社会的发展而发展,从而满足人们的交际需要。

但是语言的发展变化又不像一般的变革那样可以突变,不是废除现存语言而创造出崭新的语言,而是通过语言中新的要素逐渐积累、旧的要素逐渐消亡来实现。

语言发展之所以具有渐变性特点,这是由语言的社会功能这一本质决定的。

语言作为人类社会最重要的交际工具,作为社会成员相互联系的桥梁和纽带,时刻被人们使用。

因此,语言的发展演变以实现交际功能为前提,是渐进式的,是不知不觉发生的,是约定俗成的,而不能是突变的。

也就是说,语言发展中这种稳固和变化的对立就导致了语言的发展变化只能是渐变的方式而不能是突变的方式。

比如,新词的产生,旧词的消亡都是逐渐实现的。

语言发展演变有不平衡性规律:语言内部各要素的发展不是同步的,有发展速度快的,有发展速度慢的,呈现出不平衡性。

词汇能够随时随地反映社会生活,并且非常敏锐地反映出社会的细微变化,所以它发展速度最快,而且主要表现在一般词汇上。

语言学概论第八章语言的接触第八章学习目标:1、词的借用2、语言联盟与系统感染3、语言的替换4、通用语、共同语5、洋泾浜、混合语第一节社会和语言的接触贸易和文化交流、人口迁移、战争征服、海外殖民等都会带来社会的接触,社会的接触也为语言的接触和相互影响创造了条件。

社会的接触和语言的接触也存在不同的程度,有的社会接触程度较深,那么语言和语言之间的接触和相互影响也较深,可以分为以下几种情况:1、词的借用2、语言联盟和系统感染3、语言替换和底层残留4、通用语对方言、民族语的影响5、洋泾浜、混合语第二节词的借用一、借词借词也叫做外来词,它的语音形式和意义都是借自外民族语言的词。

例如“吉普”、“沙发”、“卡通”、“麦当劳”、“阿富汗”,等等。

借词不同于意译词和仿译词,它的音和义都借自外语的词。

意译词是运用本族语言的构词材料和规则构成的新词,把外语中的某个意义移植进来。

借从结构看,语言符号是由声音和意义两个要素构成的,借词的音和义都借自外语,是外来词,意译词的构成材料和规则都是本民族的,只吸收了意义,没有吸收形式,故不是外来词。

借词是外来词,意译词不是外来词。

汉语借词主要有音译、音译加意译、半音译半意译、字母词等等。

音译词如“咖啡”、“喇嘛”、“喀秋莎”等。

音译兼意译的词如“奔驰”(Bonze)、“可口可乐”(Coca-Cola)等。

半音译半意译如“分贝”(decibel)、“马克思主义”(Marxism)等。

仿译词,如“足球”(football)、“鸡尾酒”(cocktail)等。

字母词如AA制、MTV、VIP等等。

汉语中一些不容易辨认的借词:西域:葡萄、石榴、菠萝、狮子、玻璃、苜蓿印度:佛、菩萨、罗汉、阎罗、魔、僧、尼、和尚、塔蒙古:站、胡同、蘑菇、(馒头)日本:写真、经济、思想、资本、政治、劳动、侵略、想象、垄断、悲观、乐观、学士、硕士、博士二、结构规则的借用1234567借词虽然音义都借自外语,但语音、语法上还得服从本族语言的结构规则。

Answer the following questions.Explain the following remarks with examples or make some comments.“Both semantics and pragmatics are concerned with meaning, but the difference between them can be traced to two different uses of the verb mean: (a) What does X mean? (b) What did you mean by X?” (东北师范大学,2006)Pragmatics is the study of the use of language in communication, particularly the relationships between sentences and the contexts and situations in which they are used. Pragmatics includes the study of(1) How the interpretation and use of utterances depends on knowledge of the real world;(2) How speakers use and understand speech acts;(3) How the structure of sentences is influenced by the relationship between the speaker and the hearer.Pragmatics is sometimes contrasted with semantics, which deals with meaning without reference to the users and communicative functions of sentences.。
