Language toucheseverypartofour lives; it gives words to用言语表达ourthoughts, voice to our ideas,and expression to ourfeelings.Itisa rich andvariedhuman ability—one that wecan use withoutevenathought,that children seem to acquire automatically, and that linguists havefound tobe complex yet describable.

语言贯穿于我们生活的全部,予我们的思维以言辞,予我们的理念以话语,予我们的情感以表述。它是一种人类所拥有的丰富而多样的能力—想用就用,无须思索;天下儿童,自能习得;语言学家知其固然复杂,却可描述。

Linguistics is the study ofthe nature, structure, and variationoflanguage, including phonetics, phonology, morphology,syntax,semantics, and pragmatics.

语言学是研究语言的本质、结构和变化的科学,包括有语音学、音位学、形态学、句法学、语义学和语用学。

Linguisticknowledge as represented in thespeaker’s mind is called a grammar. Linguistictheory is concernedwith涉及revealing揭示the nature ofthe mental grammar心理语法which representsspeakers’knowledge of their language.

语言学知识作为说话者大脑里的表述被称为语法。语言学理论是关于揭示表述说话者语言知识的心理语法本质的学说。

Grammar as viewed hereis different from the usualnotion概念of grammar.

语法在这里被视为不同于通常语法的概念。

Grammar is the abilityto use structures accurately精确地, meaningfully, andappropriately.

语法是一种精确而富有意义的合适使用语言结构的能力。

Phonetics语音学providesthe means for describing speech sound语音;phonology音位学studiesthe ways in which speech soundsform systems and patterns in human language. The phonology ofalanguage is thenthe system and patternofthespeechsounds. We see that the word phonolo gy is thus used in twoways,eitheras the study ofsoundpatternsinlanguage or as the sound pattern of alanguage.

语音学给描述语音提供了方法;音位学是研究人类语言中的语音模块系统和模式的方法。语言的音位学,即语音的系统和模式。我们发现音位学这个词被作为这样的两种方式来使用,一种是作为研究语言的语音模式的方式,一种是作为语言的语言模式的方式。

Morphology形态学isthe study of word-makingand word-marking. On the one hand, morphologyexamines meaningrelationshipsbetween wo rdsandthe waysin which these connections are indicated.On the other, morphology looks at研究how grammatical relationshipsbetween wordsare marked.Different languages focus on differentword relationships,and they makeuseof 使用different patternsof marking.

形态学是研究文字构成和文字标识的科学。形态学既检测已被指出的文字与方式间的意义关

系也研究已被标识的文字间的文法关系是怎样的一种关系。不同的语系关注不同的文字关系和使用不同的标识模式。

The studyof theinternalstructure of words,and of therules by which wordsareformed, iscalledmorphology.

更有趣的是语言在曲折系统方面实际上存在不同,例如格位系统。我们发现,拉丁语中这些方面相当的多,梵文或芬兰语中更是这样,然而英语中却发现极其的少,中文中甚至没有。Chinese and English,for example, mayhavethe samecase system as Lati n,butthe phonetic realizationis different.Furthermore, it seemsth at似乎much of很大程度上the varietyof language语言变体can be reduced t o简化为properties of inflectional systems.

例如,中文和英文可能与拉丁文有相同的格位系统,但是语音实现却不同。此外,似乎很大程度上语言变体能简化为曲折系统性能。

Normally human beingsdonot produceutterances for the sake of为了the phonetic语音的, phonological音系的andgrammatical features语法特征. Utterancesare produced becausetheyconveymeaning.

通常人类不会为了语音、音系以及语法特征而产生表达。表达的产生是为了表达意义。Semanticsasasubfieldof linguisticsis the study of meaning inlanguage. Semantics deals with the meanings of words, and howthe meanings of sentences are derived源于from them.

语义学作为语言学的子域是研究语言含义的科学。语义学研究文字意义及句子意义的生成。Functionalgrammaris an approachto linguistic which is concerned with language asaninstrument ofsocial interaction ratherthan as a system that isviewed inisolation.Itconsidersthe individual as a socialbeing and investigatesthewayin whichhe acquires language and usesit inorderto communicatewith others inhis social environment.
