（3）语言符号的任意性（arbitrariness）与理据性（motivation）（4）口头性（5）语言是人类特有的（6）语言是用于交际的寒暄交谈（phatic communion）马林诺夫斯基提出的，认为语言除了用于表达思想、交流感情外，还可以用语言营造一种气氛或保持社会接触。
这种不用于表达思想、交流感情的语言使用，叫寒暄交谈。
1.3语言的起源1.4语言的分类1.4.1系属分类（Genetic Classification）历史比较语言学通过比较各种语言在不同时期语音、词性、曲折变化、语法结构上的相同特点来建立语言族系。
将语言分为语系（family）——语族（group）——语支（branch）——语言英语、德语属印欧语系日耳曼语族西日耳曼语支。
法语属印欧语系罗曼语族中罗曼语支。
汉语属汉藏语系汉语族。
1.4.2 类型分类（Typological Classifacation）根据词的结构类型，可分为（1）孤立语（isolating language）又叫词根语，一个词代表一个意思，缺少形态变化，语序和虚词是表达语法意义的主要手段。
汉语是典型的孤立语。

一、 名词解释二、 规则解释1.Syntax答案： then the combination of words to form grammatically permissible sentences in languages is governed by rules. The study of these rules constitutes a major branch of linguistic studies called syntax.2.Category答案： it refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same or similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence ,a noun phrase or a verb.nguage答案： Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.4.IPA(International Phonetic Alphabet)答案： It’s a standardized and internationally accepted system of phonetic transcription. The basic principle of the IPA is using one letter selected from major European languages to represent one speech sound.5.Morpheme答案： the most basic element of meaning is traditionally called morpheme.6.General linguistics答案： The study of language as a whole is often called general linguistics.7.Pragmatics答案： when the study of meaning is conducted, not in isolation, but in the context of language use, it becomes another branch of linguistic study called pragmatics.8.Phoneme答案： is a phonological unit; it is a unit that is of distinctive value.

It is not any particular sound, but rather it is represented or realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context.9.Phonology答案： how sounds are put together and used to convey meaning in communication.10.broad transcription答案： one is the transcription with letter-symbols only .1.Morphological rules of word formation答案： The ways words are formed are called morphological rules. These rules determine how morphemes combine to form words. Some of the morphological rules can be used quite freely to form new words. They are productive morphological rules. Another way to form new words are compound words, is by stringing words together.2.Classification of English speech sounds答案： The classification will divide the speech sounds in English into 20 vowels and 28 consonants.三、 简答题3.Phrase categories and their structures答案： noun phrase(NP), verb phrase(VP), adjective phrase(AP), prepositional phrase(PP).4.Suprasegmental features答案： stress ；tone ；intonation 。

英语语言学概论期末复习English Linguistics Overview Final ReviewIntroduction:1. Phonetics:Phonetics deals with the physical sounds of human speech. It examines speech sounds, their production, transmission, and perception. It includes articulatory phonetics (how sounds are produced), acoustic phonetics (how sounds are transmitted), and auditory phonetics (how sounds are perceived).2. Phonology:Phonology focuses on the systematic organization of sounds in a particular language. It studies phonemes—the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish meaning—and phonological rules, which determine how sounds interact in a language. It also explores the distribution of sounds, syllable structures, and phonological processes like assimilation and vowel harmony.3. Morphology:4. Syntax:Syntax explores the structure of sentences and the rulesthat govern their formation. It analyzes the arrangement of words, phrases, and clauses to create well-formed sentences.Syntax also investigates sentence constituents, grammatical relations, word order, and sentence types.5. Semantics:6. Pragmatics:7. Sociolinguistics:Sociolinguistics explores the relationship between language and society. It investigates how language varies and changes based on social factors such as gender, age, social class, and geographical location. Sociolinguistics also examines language attitudes, language variation, language contact, and dialectology.8. Psycholinguistics:Conclusion:。

Directions: Fill in the blank in each of the following statements with one word, the first letter of which is already given as a clue. Note that you are to fill in ONE word only, and you are not allowed to change the letter given. (1%×10=10%)11. Cultural t refers to the fact that the details of the linguistic system must be learned anew by each speaker, and they are not simply biologically passed on from generation to generation.12. The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called s features, which are the phonological properties of such units as the syllable, the word, and the sentence.13. D affixes are added to an existing form to create a word. This is a very common way to create new words in English.14. A c sentence contains two or more clauses, oneof which is incorporated into the other.15. If we say “The baby is crying,” we must be talking about a certain baby crying in a certain situation; the word “baby” means a baby known to both the speaker and the hearer, which is the r of the word “baby” in this particular situation.16. The relationship between the words in such pairs as “buy” and “by,” “stationary” and“stationery” can be labeled as h_____.17. In an a process, successive sounds are made identical, or more similar, to one another in terms of place or manner of articulation, or of haplology.18. In sociolinguistic studies, a pidginized dialect may expand and eventually become the native language of a certain population, which is known as c .19.

Put a T for true or F for false on the Answer Sheet. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then givethe correct version. (2%×10=20%)21. Speech and writing are the two major media of communication. In linguistic evolution, however, speech is prior to writing, therefore, the spoken language rather than the written should be given priority in modern linguistics.22. There are two ways now available to transcribe speech sounds: broad transcription and narrow transcription, of which the really required and used by popular textbook and dictionary writers is the latter.23. Prefixes are added to the beginning of stems; they modify the meaning of the stem, but do not change the part of speech of the original word.24. Compounds have different stress patterns from non-compounded word sequences. In general, the stress of a compound always falls on the second word, while the first word receives secondary stress.25. Sentence is usually conceived as the largest unit of grammar. Normally, a sentence contains at least a subject and a finite verb or a verb phrase as its predicate.26. The pair of words, “husband” and “wife,” are complementary antonyms.27. One linguistic symbol can have different referenceswhile bearing the same sense. There are also occasions, though less frequent, when linguistic forms with the same reference might differ in sense.28. Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts.29. What essentially distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning the context of use is considered.30. The most distinguishable linguistic feature of a regional dialect is its grammar and uses of vocabulary.Ⅳ. Directions: Explain the following terms and give examples for illustration where appropriate. (3%×10=30%)31. arbitrariness 32. parole33. consonants 34. bound morpheme35. back-formation 36. syntax37. sense 38. pragmatics39. hyponymy 40. sociolectV.

Directions：Answer the following questions. (10% × 2=20%)41. Omitted.42. Speech act theory tells us that a speaker can meana lot more than what is said. The problem is to explain how the speaker can manager to convey more than what is said and how the hearer can understand the speaker’s meaning. H.P. Grice believes that there must be some mechanisms governing the production and comprehension of these utterances. He suggests that there is a set of assumptions guiding the conduct of conversation. This is what he calls Cooperative principle: Make your conversational contribution as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the exchange in which you are engaged.There are four maxims of CP:1.The maxim of Quality2.The maxim of Quantity3.The maxim of Relation4.The maxim of MannerSimply speaking, we assume that people are normally goingto provide an appropriate amount of information, and that they are telling the truth, being relevant, and trying to be as clear as they can.(1)The conversation violates the maxim of relation andthe conversational implicature is “I don’t like your painting at all”.(2)This utterance violates the maxim of quality. At asuperficial level, it is uninformative because a man cannot be made of iron. At a deeper level, it has implication. The implication of this sentence is “He has the characteristics of iron. He is strong, just like iron.”。
