文化语言学作业
语言学作业
一个国家的语言文字包括了该国家的所有人文现象、风土人情甚至是民俗习惯。
换句话说,语言是文化的综合体,是文化的结晶,另外一方面,语言具有意义与语言存在的语境也是焦孟不离。
文化背景、语言、语境,三者是分不开的。
于我看来,“她嫁错了人”与“she has married the wrong man”所要表达的意义是不一样的。
按照句子的成分进行分析,“她嫁错了人”中,她”是主语,剩下的成份“嫁错了人”都是谓语。
所以,通俗一点分析,这句话所要表达的意思是“她遇人不淑,以至于嫁错了并导致了一场悲剧式的婚姻。
也就是说,错的、该抱怨的根本不在于她嫁的那个对象,而在于她或者是是失败的婚姻本身。
矛头自然也就没有指在“她”的丈夫身上。
但是在英语中,“she has married the wrong man”,要表达的意义是与不相同的。
还是从句子的成分入手,我们可以把句子进行剖析。
这句话中,“she”是主语,“married”是谓语,“the wrong man”自然就是宾语了。
由此可见,“she”是没有错的,错的是she“married”的对象即是“the wrong man”。
在我看来,这两句话具有差异是因为中西方之间的文化差异。
语言学中谈及到语言与文化是“intrinsically dependent on each other, have evolved together through the history.”也就是说,语言与文化相互联系、相互依赖,在历史发展中共同演变。
因此,对这两句话的分析,我们可以把侧重点放在文化层面上。
一般人听到“她嫁错了人”这句话,很自然都会联想到句中“她”的悲惨命运,在过去的中国文化中,女性处于比较低下的地位。
通常来说,如果按照固有的传统思维模式出发:一个女人嫁错了人并且安于天命的现象非但没有错,反倒却是很合情合理的。
从上面的句子成份分析我们可以得出的结论是,“she has married the wrong man”这个句子里面错误的源头是那个“man”而不是中文里的“她”,也不是“she”与“man”之间”married”这一特定行为产生了错误。

锦州市店名、街(路)牌中文用字、外文译写情况调查——基于2013中国锦州世园会语言文字规范标准研制的调查从街牌名看语言学摘要:语言遍布于世界,有人烟的地方就有语言的存在,人们靠他来传递信息、抒发感情。
语言学也随着语言的传播遍布于我们的生活之中,随着人们的交谈,文字的书写而不断发展壮大。
语言是人类最重要的交际工具和思维工具,人们通过语言交流和沟通。
为了应对2013年锦州世园会的开展,我和同学对锦州市街牌名和店牌名进行了调查和研究。
语言具有人文性,在作为交际工具和思维工具的同时,也是人类文化的重要组成部分,是人类文化的主要载体,从调查到的街牌名可以看出,很多街牌名都具有文学性,看起来很舒服,有一些用的都是成语和一些优美的典故。
文中还分析了街牌名的结构和蕴含在其中的语言学知识,语言的功能和本质,以及具体从锦州市街牌名中分析出来的各种语言学理论知识。
关键词:语言的功能语言的本质街牌名语言规划法国著名作家莫里哀曾经说过:“语言是赐予人类表达思想的工具。
”的确,语言出现在社会上的任何角落,人们用语言来抒发自己的情感,快乐时和他人分享快乐,忧伤时和他人一起分担痛苦,这都离不开语言。
语言不是单一表达的,人们用说话来表达语言,用文字来表达语言,不会说话的人也可以用文字来表达,即使不会写字也可以用肢体语言来表达。
像这次对街牌名进行的调查与研究,就是由店牌、街路牌和广告牌上的文字所表达出来的语言。
2011年11月的一个礼拜天,我和同寝室的同学约好一起去调查记录一下我们班的街路牌名和店牌名包括桥上或者公寓围栏上的广告牌。
我们班的调查范围是在环路与科技路之间,南桥以西的距离。
我们从早上9点开始出发,直到下午5点回来,我们两个以左右分工,走同一条街,我记左面的部分,她记右面的部分我们走了很多弯路,有的路一面全是墙,没有店铺。
另外,还有像是“复印打字”、“中国福利彩票”等等的几乎每条街都会有的店铺我们就都省略不记了。
中午挑了半天,决定在“美国加州牛肉面大王”家吃了中午饭,下午又逛了半天,最后,我们每个人抄写了50个左右,回寝室后又抄写了对方的店牌名,对店牌名的调查就这样结束了。
语言学史作业
1、现代汉字是否都可以用六书来分析?答:不可以。
“六书”是传统汉字学分析汉字构造所总结出的六种方法,东汉学者许慎在他的《说文解字》中用“六书”来分析汉字的结构类型。
“六书”包括象形、指事、会议、形声、转注、假借,实际上,前四种是造字法,后两种只能看作汉字的使用方法。
现代的一些新字的产生一般不再使用象形、指事的方法,新造的会意字虽然也有些,如:“耷、夯”但不如用形声的方法多。
另外,一些简化字也用了形声的方法来简化。
还有一些简化字采用了草书楷化的方法。
新造字中还出现了跟传统的六书不一致的造字法,如字“甭”用的是切音合形合义的造字法。
由于现代汉字符号性越来越强,分析字形可以采用构字笔画部件分析法。
传统上对汉字字形的分析采用的是偏旁分析法,即用偏旁来分析合体字的构成。
偏旁分意符(也叫形旁、形符)和音符(也叫声旁、声符)两种。
会意字只有意符,形声字既有意符,又有音符。
所以说现代汉字更适合采用构字笔画部件分析法。
2、汉字的音义之间的关系应该如何认识?汉字是记录汉语的语素的,语素包括语音和语义两个方面。
所以汉字的字音就是它所记录的语素的语音。
汉字记录的语音单位是汉语的音节,汉字和音节之间并不是一一对应的,一个音节往往对应多个汉字(同音字),有的汉字也可能对应多个音节(多音字)。
3、中国历史上有哪些汉字注音方法1)譬况法,是具体描写某个字的发音情貌的方法。
例如《淮南子·地形训》“其地宜黍,多旄犀”。
注“旄”时说:“旄”,读绸缪之缪,急气言乃得之。
”2)读若法,也就是用音近的字来注音,不加以描写。
东汉许慎《说文解字》的注音全是读若法,例如“媪”,女老称也,读若奥。
3)直音法,盛行于汉代,是指用一个比较容易认识的字来标注跟它同音的字的方法,如“盅,音古”“毕,音必”“畔,音叛”。
杨雄《方言》“所以刺船谓之篙”,“篙”,音高。
直音法注音有弊病,有的字很简单,却用很生僻的字来注音,反而不得其音。
另外还出现循环互注的现象。
中国社会文化语言学参考答案要点.
中国社会文化语言学参考答案要点1.物质文化,制度文化、心理文化2.陆路、海路3.军屯移民4.物质要素生活环境5.隐语6.洋泾滨语、克里奥尔语7.它是女青年中存在的一种语音现象,黎锦熙先生早在20世纪20年代就提到当时北京劈柴胡同(今称辟才胡同),北京师范大学附属女子中学的学生把[t ]、[t ]、[ i]读成[tsi]、[ts i]、[si],他称这种女学生特有的读音为“女国音”。
8.语文规划泛指有计划地管理与改进现有语言和文字的活动。
语言规划则是语言政策的具体化。
它包括语言选择、语言协调、语言规范化,文字改革、文字创制等方面的内容。
中国的汉字简化等便属于语文规划。
9.使用一种语言时,夹杂有另一种语言的成分,这另一种语言成分多是词或短语,包括它们的语音形式。
例略。
10.(1)社会的需求。
文字的发生有待于社会文明的发展和需求的触发。
(2)巫术的发展。
(3)思维的发展。
原始记事方法的研究显示,蕴含着符号的可视性、储存性、单位性、能产性、组合性和平面化、线条化、书写化,都为文字创制原理的成熟提供了准备,而图形及一些刻划记号则可能成为最初的文字符形。
11.(1)吴语的源头可追溯到3000多年前先周太伯、仲雍的南迁。
发展到西晋,江南已是吴语的天下。
(2)“永嘉之乱”大规模的移民运动。
这次大移民的结果是:进入江西的北方移民所带来的北方话成为客家话的先声;(3)江西土话与北方话接触融合而形成了赣语的早期形式。
(4)湘语源于古楚语。
南迁楚人从中原带来的华夏族语言后来演变成楚语。
在湖南境内的古楚语后来逐步演化成古湘语。
(5)粤方言的源头可以追溯到秦汉。
秦始皇派任嚣、赵佗平定百粤,占领岭南地区,留下50万人戍守岭南三郡。
这些守卒所带去的当时的中原汉语才是今日粤语的先声。
(6)三国以前,闽越地区主要接受吴越语的直接传播和影响,同时还吸收了许多南方楚语的语言成分。
此外,还有当地民族语言的沉积成分。
这三个方面汇合成汉魏以前的闽方言。

Answer the following questions in English. 30%1.What are the differences between Chinese and English compliments?In English people exchange compliments each other: father to son, husband to wife, friend to friend, etc. But there are cultural differences between English and Chinese. Firstly cultural differences exist in who can be complimented. In English speaking countries one can praise members of one’s own family. A woman can talkabout how hard her husband works and how well he has done in his career, and shemight do the same about how well her children do at school. But Chinese people do not praise members of their own families. They consider it bad taste.Secondly, cultural differences exist in what can be complimented. It is quite common for a male English speaker to compliment females on their good looks, while it is almost a taboo in Chinese culture.2.What is the rule of introduction in the United States?In the United States the general rule is to introduce a man to a woman, the young to the old, the guest to the host, an individual to a group, a less important person is to an important person, the lower position people to the higher position people, an unmarried woman to a married woman.3. Compare Chinese and English "thanks".There are differences between Chinese and English "thanks". Firstly differences lie in what to thank for. English speakers thank others for many reasons and on many occasions such as borrowing a pencil, asking for directions , requesting someone to pass on a message, receiving mails for others, calling a person to the phone and so on and so forth, and this seems to be unnecessary and sometimes even hypocritical to many Chinese people. On the other hand, the Chinese people tend to thank the one who has done them a major favor several times, this may seem excessive, empty or insincere to English speakers and therefore make them uncomfortable.Secondly differences also lie in whom to thank. In English culture a male thanks his wife, a female thank her husband, a father thanks his son and close friends thank each other for having done anything. That is because people are treated as individuals and the kindness they have shown in whatever may should be appreciated explicitly. But in China, most of the polite expressions are reserved for stranger and casual friends. Family members and close friends never thank each other, for the Chinese attitude is that the appreciation is understood and need not be expressed among close friends and family members. However, this attitude may be taken forrudeness or lack of consideration by English speakers.福师《语言与文化》在线作业一二试卷13春总分:100 测试时间:--单选题多选题判断题14 、单选题秋(共30 道试题,共60 分。

Answer the following questions in English. 30%1.What are the differences between Chinese and English compliments?In English people exchange compliments each other: father to son, husband to wife, friend to friend, etc. But there are culturaldifferences between English and Chinese. Firstly cultural differences exist in who can be complimented. In English speaking countries one can praise members of one’s own family. A woman can talk about how hard her husband works and how well he has done in his career, and she might do the same about how well her children do at school. But Chinese people do not praise members of their own families. They consider it bad taste.Secondly, cultural differences exist in what can e complimented. It is quite common for a male English speaker to compliment females on their good looks, while it is almost a taboo in Chinese culture.2.What is the rule of introduction in the United States?In English culture the general rule is to introduce a young person to an older one, a man to a woman, an inferior to a superior, the guest to the host, an individual to a group. And be sure to mention first the name of the person we wish to honor. When introducing a man and a woman, mention the woman’s name first unless the man is much older than the woman or very famous. When introducing two males or two females, put the older person’s name first.When people are introduced, people normally shake hands in formal or business situations. In this occasion, men usually take off their gloves before shaking hands, but women do not have to. When a man and a woman are to shake hands, it is the woman who extends her hand first.pare Chinese and English "thanks".Differences lie in what to thank for. English speakers thank others for many reasons and on many occasions such as borrowing a pencil, asking for directions , requesting someone to pass on a message, receiving mails for others, calling a person to the phone and so on and so forth, and this seems to be unnecessary and sometimes even hypocritical to many Chinese people. On the other hand, the Chinese people tend to thank the one who has done them a major favor several times, this may seem excessive, empty or insincere to English speakers and therefore make them uncomfortable.Differences also lie in whom to thank. In English culture a male thanks his wife, a female thank her husband, a father thanks his son and close friends thank each other for having done anything. That is because people are treated as individuals and the kindness they have shown in whatever may should be appreciated explicitly. But in China, most of the polite expressions are reserved for stranger and casual friends. Family members and close friends never thank each other, for the Chinese attitude is that the appreciation is understood and need not be expressed among close friends and family members. However, this attitude may be taken for rudeness or lack of consideration by English speakers.语言与文化作业(二)I. Fill in each underlined space with a proper expression. 40%1.

2. What are the major branches of linguistics? What does each of them study?答: The major branches of linguistics are:(1) phonetics: it studies the sounds used in linguistic communication;(2) phonology: it studies how sounds are put together and used to convey meaning in communication;(3) morphology: it studies the way in which linguistic symbols representing sounds are arranged and combined to form words;(4) syntax: it studies the rules which govern how words are combined to form grammatically permissible sentences in languages;(5) semantics: it studies meaning conveyed by language;(6) pragmatics: it studies the meaning in the context of language use.7. What characteristics of language do you think should be included in a good, comprehensive definition of language?答: First of all, language is a system, i.e., elements of language are combined according to rules.Second, language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what thesymbol stands for.Third, language is vocal because the primary medium for all languages is sound.Fourth, language is human-specific, i. e., it is very different from the communication systems other forms of life possess.8. What are the main features of human language that have been specified by C. Hockett to show that it is essentially different from animal communication system?答:The main features of human language are termed design features. They include:1) ArbitrarinessLanguage is arbitrary. This means that there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. A good example is the fact that different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages.2) ProductivityLanguage is productive or creative in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. This is why they can produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences, including sentences they have never heard before.3) DualityLanguage consists of two sets of structures, or two levels. At the lower or the basic level there is a structure of sounds, which are meaningless by themselves. But the sounds of language can be grouped and regrouped into a large number of units of meaning, which are found at the higher level of the system.4) DisplacementLanguage can be used to refer to things which are present or not present, real or imagined matters in the past, present, or future, or in far-away places. In other words, language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker. This is what “displacement” means.5) Cultural transmissionWhile human capacity for language has a genetic basis, i.e., we were all born with the ability to acquire language, the details of any language system are not genetically transmitted, but instead have to be taught and learned.8. What is a phone? How is it different from a phoneme? How are allophones related to a phoneme?答: A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. The speech sounds we hear and produce during linguistic communication are all phones. A phoneme is not any particular sound, but rather it is represented or realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context. The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme. For example, the phoneme /l/ in English can be realized as dark [?], clear [l], etc. which are allophones of the phoneme /l/.4. The italicized part in each of the following sentences is an inflectional morpheme. Study each inflectional morpheme carefully and point out its grammatical meaning.Sue moves in high-society circles in London.A traffic warden asked John to move his car.The club has moved to Friday, February 22nd.The branches of the trees are moving back and forth.答:(1) the third person singular(2) the past tense(3) the present perfect(4) the present progressive4. How can words opposite in meaning be classified? To which category does each of the following pairs of antonyms belong?north/south vacant/occupied literate/illiterate above/belowdoctor/patient wide/narrow poor/rich father/daughter答:They can be gradable antonyms, complementary antonyms and relational oppositeGradable antonyms: literate/illiterate wide /narrow poor/richComplementary antonyms: vacant/occupiedRelational opposite: north/south, doctor/patient, father/daughter, above/below5. Identify the relations between the following pairs of sentences:Tom's wife is pregnant. My sister will soon be divorced'Tom has a wife. My sister is a married woman.He likes seafood, They are going to have another baby.He likes crabs. They have a child.答:“Tom's wife is pregnant” presupposes “Tom has a wife.”“My sister will soon be divorced” presupposes “My sister is a married woman.”“He likes seafood” is entailed by “He likes crabs.”“They are going to have another baby” presupposes “They have a child.”8. Try to analyze the following sentences in terms of predication analysis:The man sells ice-cream. Is the baby sleeping? It is snowing. The tree grows well.答:The man sells ice-cream.MAN, ICE-CREAM (SELL)Is the baby sleeping?BABY (SLEEP)It is snowing.(SNOW)The tree grows well.TREE (GROW)4. Try to think of contexts in which the following sentences can be used for other purposes than just stating facts:a) The room is messy.b) Oh, it is raining!c) The music of the movie is good.d) You have been keeping my notes for a whole week now.答:a) A father entered his son’s room and found it is very messy. Then when he said, “The room is messy,” he was blaming his son for not tidying it up.b) A son asked his father to play with him outside. So when the father said, “Oh, it’s raining”, he meant they couldn’t play outside.c) Two persons just watched a movie and had a discussion of it. One person said, “The story of the movie is very moving”, so when the other person said, “The music of the movie is good”, he meant he didn't think the story of the movie was good.d) A person wanted his notes back, so when he said, “you have been keeping my notes for a whole week now”, he was demanding the return of his notes.8. What are the four maxims of the CP? Try to give your own examples to show how flouting these maxims gives rise to conversational implicature?答: Cooperative Principle, abbreviated as CP. It goes asfollows:Make your conversational contribution such as required at the stage at which it occurs by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.To be more specific, there are four maxims under this general principle:(1) The maxim of quantity① Make your contribution as informative as required (for the current purpose of the exchange).② Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.(2) The maxim of quality① Do not say what you believe to be false.② Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.(3) The maxim of relationBe relevant.(4) The maxim of manner① Avoid obscurity of expression.② Avoid ambiguity.③ Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity).④ Be orderly.5. What is register as used by Halliday? Illustrate it with an example of your own.答: According to Halliday, “Language varies as its function varies; it differs in different situations.” The type of language which is selected as appropriate to the type of situation is a register. Halliday further distinguishes three social variables that determine the register: field of discourse, tenor of discourse, and mode of discourse.For example, a lecture on linguistics could be identified asField: scientific (linguistic)Tenor: teacher — students (formal, polite)Mode: oral (academic lecturing)2. What do you think of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis? Give examples or proof to support your point of view.答: The studies have shed new light on our understanding of the hypothesis: people tend to sort out and distinguish experiences differently according to the semantic categories provided by their different codes.Here is an example. English-speaking culture teaches its people to name what is practical, useful and important. In a general sense, the important things take on specific nameswhile the less important things have general names that must be modified through additional words to become specific. A good illustration of this point is the word snow in Eskimo and English.2. Explain with an example that the evaluation of language is social rather than linguistic.答:The evaluation of language is social rather than linguistic. This is because every language or language variety can express all ideas that its native speakers want to express. That is to say, language and language variety are equal in expressing meaning. For example, the much-prejudiced Black English can be used by the black people to communicate with each other without feeling any hindrance. But many other people think Black English is not pure English because it does not conform to their grammar and not adopted by educated people. As a result, many people feel shameful to use Black English. From this example we can know that the evaluation of language is social, not linguistic.2. Among the language acquisition theories mentioned in this chapter, which one do you think is more reasonable and convincing? Explain why.答: The language acquisition theories mentioned in this chapter have different emphasis on different aspects. Behaviorists view sounds reasonable in explaining the routine aspects, the innatist accounts most plausible in explaining children's acquiring complex system, and the interactive description convincing in understanding how children learn and use the language appropriately from their environment. In my opinion, behaviorists view is more reasonable and convincing because language acquisition is a process of enforcing and reinforcing. Only through this process can a person learn a language well.友情提示:本资料代表个人观点,如有帮助请下载,谢谢您的浏览!。

EX11. Define the following terms:design feature: the distinctive features of human language that essentially make human language distinguishable from languages of animals.prescriptive: denotes normative practices on such aspects of language use as spelling, grammar, pronunciation, and syntax. It includes judgments on what usages are socially proper and politically correct. Its aims may be to establish a standard language, to teach what is perceived within a particular society to be correct forms of language, or to advise on effective communication. The schoolbook approach to language is typically prescriptive. It tries to tell you how you should speak and write.descriptive: it tries to explain things as they actually are, not as we wish them to be. When we study language descriptively, we try to find the unconscious rules that people follow when they say things like sentencesynchronic: It is the study of a language system at one particular point in time, for example, the sound system of Modern British English.diachronic: It is an approach to linguistics which studies how a language changes over a period of time, for example the change in the sound system of English from Early English to Modern British English.arbitrariness: the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meaning duality: The property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels has its own principles of organizationdisplacement: Human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication.2. Can you think of some words in English which are onomatopoeic?creak: the sound made by a badly oiled door when it opens.cuckoo: the call of cuckoo.bang: a sudden loud noise.roar: a deep loud continuing sound.buzz: a noise of buzzing.hiss: a hissing sound.neigh: the long and loud cry that a horse makes.mew: the noise that a gull makes.bleat: the sound made by a sheep, goat or calf.3. Do you think that onomatopoeia indicates a non-arbitrary relationship between form and meaning?No matter you say "Yes" or "No", you cannot deny that onomatopoeia needs arbitrariness. Before we feel a word is onomatopoeic we should first know which sound the word imitates. Just as what is said in Chapter One, in order to imitate the noise of flying mosquitoes, there are many choices like "murmurous" and "murderous". They both bear more or less resemblance to the genuine natural sound, but "murmurous" is fortunately chosen to mean the noise while "murderous" is chosen to mean something quite different. They are arbitrary as signifiers.4. A story by Robert Louis Stevenson contains the sentence “As the night fell,the wind rose.”Could this be expressed as “As the wind rose,the night fell?” If not,why? Does this indicate a degree of non-arbitrariness about word order? (Bolinger, 1981:15)Yes. It is a case in point to illustrate non-arbitrariness about word order. When the two parts interchange, the focus and the meaning of the sentence is forced to change, because clauses occurring in linear sequence without time indicators will be taken as matching the actual sequence of happening. The writer’s original intention i s distorted, and we can feel it effortlessly by reading. That is why systemic-functionalists and American functionalists think language is not arbitrary at the syntactic level.5. Does the traffic light system have duality? Can you explain by drawing a simple graph? Traffic light does not have duality. Obviously, it is not a double-level system. There is only one-to-one relationship between signs and meaning but the meaning units cannot be divided into smaller meaningless elements further. So the traffic light only has the primary level and lacks the secondary level like animals’ calls.ANSWER:Red→stopGreen→goYellow→get ready to go or stop6. What do you think of Bertrand Russell’s observation of the dog language: “No matter how eloquently a dog may bark, he cannot tell you that his parents were poor but honest”? Are you familiar with any type of ways animals communicate among themselves and with human beings?When gazelles sense potential danger, for example, they flee and thereby signal to other gazelles in the vicinity that danger is lurking. A dog signals its wish to be let inside the house by barking and signals the possibility that it might bite momentarily by displaying its fangs.EX21. What are the major distinctions between langue and parole?The distinction between langue, and parole was made by the famous linguist Ferdinand de Saussure early this century. Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. Langue is the set of conventions and rules which language users all have to follow while parole is the concrete use of the conventions and the application of the rules. Langue is abstract; it is not the language people actually use, but parole is concrete; it refers to the naturally occurring language events. Langue is relatively stable; it does not change frequently; while parole varies from person to person, and from situation to situation.2. How do you understand competence and performance?American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s proposed the distinction between competence and performance. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language. This internalized set of rules enables the language user to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences and recognize sentences that are ungrammatical and ambiguous. According to Chomsky, performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. Although the speaker’s knowledge of his mothertongue is perfect, his performances may have mistakes because of social and psychological factors such as stress, embarrassment, etc.. Chomsky believes that what linguists should study is the competence, which is systematic, not the performance, which is too haphazard.3. Saussure’s distinction between langue and parole seems similar to Chomsky’s distinction between competence and performance. What do you think are their major differences?Although Saussure’s distinction and Chomsky’s are very similar, they differ at least in that Saussure took a sociological view of language and his notion of langue is a matter of social conventions, and Chomsky looks at language from a psychological point of vies and to him, competence is a property of the mind of each individual.EX31.Define the following termsPhonetics:Phonetics is the science which studies the characteristics of human sound-making, especially those sounds used in speech and provides methods for their description, classification and transcriptionArticulatory Phonetics: is the study of the production of speech sounds.Acoustic Phonetics : is the study of the physical properties of the sounds produced in speech. Auditory Phonetics : is concerned with the perception of speech soundsPhonology: is the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of languages.It aims to ‘discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur’.Speech Organs: It is also named as VOCAL ORGANS, are those parts of the human body involved in the production of speech. The organs involved in the production of speech: lung, trachea (windpipe), throat (larynx),nose,mouthIPA: It is the abbreviation of International Phonetic Alphabet, which is devised by the International Phonetic Association in 1888 on the basis of the phonetic alphabet proposed at the time. Since then it has undergone a number of revisions.The manner of articulation:It refers to ways in which articulation can be accomplished.The place of articulation:It refers to the point where a consonant is made. Practically consonants may be produced at any place between the lips and the vocal folds.2.[p] : voiceless bilabial stop 不带声双唇塞音[b]: voiced bilabial stop 带声双唇塞音[s] : voiceless alveolar fricative 不带声齿龈擦音[z]: voiced alveolar fricative 带声齿龈擦音[m]: bilabial nasal 双唇鼻音[l] : alveolar lateral 齿龈边音EX4I.

《文化语言学》作业报告
作业题目:文化语言学平时作业
学院名称:人文学院
专业:汉语言文学
班级:汉语122
姓名:贾华昭(12409010237)***师:***
一、文化语言学有什么样的科学性质?为什么?谈谈你的看法。
(一)文化语言学是研究语言与民族文化关系的学科
1、语言无论是就它的起源、形成、发展及使用,都是紧密依存于社会,存在于使用他的人群之中的。
2、社会对文化语言来说,不仅仅是一个存在环境的问题,而是渗透到语言的形成与发展的各个方面。
3、“语言的背后是有东西的。
而且语言不能离开文化而存在,所谓文化就是社会遗传下来的习惯和信仰的总和,由它可以决定我们的生活组织。
”(萨丕尔)
4、一个民族的文化有着非常丰富的内容。
它包含着这个民族所生活于其中的整个生态环境。
社会文化、政治文化、道德文化、观念文化、物质文化、自然文化、地理文化等等,凡是与这个民族的社会活动、生产活动有关的各种因素,都有可能会影响到这个民族所使用的语言。
(二)文化语言学是阐释性学科
1、“历史语言学研究的目的,大体上可以分为两类,一是对语言的历史和现状作细致的描写,从纷纭繁杂的语言现象中寻找出带有规律性的东西,而是对挖掘出来的语言规律进行合理的解释,探索这些语言规律的前因后果。
前者是人知其然,后者使人知其所以然。
综观一百多年来西方现代语言学界相继称雄的各个学派,其主要研究目的基本上都是在描写与解释之间来回摆动。
”(陈平)
2、历史比较语言学所阐释的是语言之间的历史发展规律。
3、转换生成语言学所阐释的是语言的生理机制。
4、语言功能学所阐释的是语言的使用表达功能。
5、文化语言学所阐释的是语言与其所赖以生存的人文环境与社会环境之间的联系。
(三)文化语言学是交叉性学科
1、从事文化语言学所需要的不仅仅是有关语言符号、结构、系统等语言本体的知识,还需要与这种语言的历史与背景紧密相连的各方面知识。
从这个角度来说,文化语言学所需要的社会、历史、文化方面的需要是越多越好。
2、由于文化语言学的这种交叉性。
也就形成了两种不同类型的研究范式,或是站在文化学方面来看待语言,或是站在语言学方面来看待语言。
无论是哪种范式,它们的共同点都是将语言学引入到了一个更宽广的人文背景之中,与众多的人文学科融为一体,互为参照映证,给语言学研究带来更为广阔的视野,也给语言学知识的运用带来更为广阔的天地。
(四)文化语言学又是关于语言本体的学科
1、文化语言学又是一门关于语言本体的学科,则说明它对语言结构本身也能做
出自己的独到解释,而不仅仅是利用结构主义语言学的理论和成果。
现在的许多研究表明,语言的状态并不都是无意识的“约定俗成”的产物,在它的背后,蕴藏着丰富的民族文化因子。
它们或是以影响语言的产生、变迁、组合、运用的因素出现,或是直接以语言的存在形式和结构规律出现。
2、要建立语言本体意义上的文化语言学,也需要“结构描写”的意识。
因为如果仅仅是把文化语言学看作是一门阐释学科、交叉学科,这其实是在承认现有的以结构主义语言学为基本规范的语言知识基础上来进行的研究。
二、中国文化语言学有几个学派,它们的异同点是什么?
三个:以游汝杰为代表的文化参照派、以申小龙为代表的文化认同派、以陈建民为代表的社会学派。
同:语言研究必须要与它的人文生态环境结合起来,对几乎全盘接受西方语言学理论的中国现代语言学提出尖锐批评,要求建立独立的文化语言学科,注重语言的个性,注重语言的功能研究等。
异:语言与文化之间有着怎样的关系;如何看待语言的人文属性;怎样评价中国现代语言学的历史;文化语言学的学科性质如何。
文化派:注重语言和文化的参照比较研究,认为可以从汉语来探求文化,也可以从汉文化来探求汉语。
文化认同派:注重对汉语的文化功能进行研究,认为汉语不仅是汉文化的载体,也是汉文化的结晶,追求汉语与汉民族文化之间的一致性。
社会学派:注重探求在社会背景下的语言变异和运用规律。
三、什么是语言的人文性?
指语言结构体能通过自身的存在状态、分布范围、活动单位、变化方式等各方面表现出它所赖以生存的民族文化生态环境中种种因素的属性语言的人文性应是语言的一种属性,一种功能,而不是具体的文化因素。
