几对基本概念

语言的定义

语言的甄别特征

What is linguistics 什么是语言学

Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language. It studies not any particular language, but languages in general. 语言学是对语言科学地进行研究的学科。语言学所要研究的不是某一种特定的语言,而是人类所有语言的特性。

The scope of linguistics 语言学研究的范畴

Phonetics语音学\Phonology音系学\Morphology形态学\Syntax句法学\Semantics语义学

\Pragmatics语用学\Sociolinguistics社会语言学\Psycholinguistics心理语言学\Applied linguistics应用语言学

Prescriptive vs. descriptive 规定性与描述性

Descriptive:a linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use.

Prescriptive: it aims lay down rules for "correct" behavior.

Modern linguistics is descriptive; its investigations are based on authentic, and mainly spoken data.

Traditional grammar is prescriptive; it is based on "high" written language

Synchronic vs. diachronic 共时性与历史性

The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study

The description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study

In modern linguistics, synchronic study seems to enjoy priority over diachronic study.

Speech and writing 口头语与书面语

Speech enjoys priority over writing in modern linguistics study for the following reasons: (1) speech precedes writing in terms of evolution

(2) a large amount of communication is carried out in speech tan in writing

(3) speech is the form in which infants acquire their native language

Language and parole 语言与言语

Language refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community

Parole refers to the realization of language in actual use

Competence and performance 能力与运用

Chomsky defines competence as the ideal users' knowledge of the rules of his language Performance: the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication

What is language 什么是语言

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication

Characteristics of language: 语言的特性

Language is a rule-governed system

Language is basically vocal

Language is arbitrary (the fact different languages have different words for the same

object is a good illustration of the arbitrary nature of language. This conventional nature of language is well illustrated by a famous quotation from Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet": "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.")

Language is used for human communication

Design features of language 语言的甄别特征

American linguist Charles Hockett specified 12 design features:

1) arbitrariness 武断性

2) productivity 创造性

3) duality 二重性

4) displacement移位性

5) cultural transmission 文化传递性

二、音系学

语言的声音媒介

什么是语音学

发音器官

音标……宽式和严式标音法

英语语音的分类

音系学和语音学

语音、音位、音位变体

音位对立、互补分部、最小对立

几条音系规则

超切分特征

Two major media of communication: speech and writing

The limited range of sounds which are meaningful in human communication and are of interest to linguistic studies are the phonic medium of language. 用于人类语言交际的声音称为语音,

这些数目有限的一组语音构成了语言的声音媒介。

Phonetics语音学: is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language; it is concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world's language.

Three branches of phonetics : articulatory phonetics 发音语音学(most highly developed), auditory phonetics 听觉语音学and acoustic phonetics 声学语音学

Organs of speech 发音器官

The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important areas or cavities:

The pharyngeal cavity咽腔——the throat

The oral cavity口腔——the mouth

The nasal cavity 鼻腔——the nose

Vibration of the vocal cords (声带) results in a quality of speech sounds called "voicing" 浊音,which is a feature of all vowels 元音 and some consonants 辅音。

单词补充:01) velum: The soft palate. 软腭

02) uvula: A small, conical, fleshy mass of tissue suspended from the center of the soft

palate. 小舌,悬雍垂悬垂在软腭中央的小的圆锥状肉块

03) larynx: n. 喉

04) vocal cord: 声带

05) membrane: n. A thin, pliable layer of tissue covering surfaces or separating or connecting regions, structures, or organs of an animal or a plant. 膜薄而柔软的组织层,覆盖在表面或分割连接各种区域、结构或动植物器官

06) the soft palate: 软腭

07) the hard palate: 硬腭

08) the teeth ridge: 齿龈

09) alveolus: A tooth socket in the jawbone 牙槽颚骨处的牙床

10) the teeth: 牙齿

11) the lips: 上下唇

12) blade of tongue: 舌面

13) back of tongue: 舌根

14) pharyngeal cavity: 咽腔

15) nasal cavity: 鼻腔

16) velar: Articulated with the back of the tongue touching or near the soft palate, as (g) in good and (k) in cup.软腭音的用舌头后部挂触或靠近软腭清楚地发音的,如在 good中的(g)以及在 cup中的(k)

17) the tip of the tongue: 舌尖

18) the upper front teeth: 上齿

19) the roof of the mouth: 上颚

20) the lower lip: 下唇

音标……宽式和严式标音法

International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

The vowels (monophthongs and diphthongs)元音(单元音&双元音)

The constants 辅音

Broad transcription: transcription with letter-symbols only. (in dictionaries and teaching textbooks)

用一个符号来表示一个语音的标音方式叫做宽式标音法,这种音标法常见于词典和教科书。

Narrow transcription: the transcription with diacritics.

但实际上,同一语音在不通的语音环境中的发音不尽相同,比如Pit和spit中的/P/音发音就不一样。

在宽式标音的基础上,再用变音符号表示同一语音在不同的语音环境下不同发音的标音法叫做窄式标音法。

Classification of English speech sounds

英语语音的分类

The basic difference between a vowel and a constant is that in the pronunciation of the former the air that comes from the lungs meets with no obstruction of any kind in the throat, the nose, or the mouth, while in that of the latter it is obstructed in one way or another.

Classification of English constants

英语辅音分类

此主题相关图片如下:

Classification of English vowels

:the position of the tongue in the mouth舌位高低

:the openness of the mouth,口的张开程度

:the shape of the lips园唇与否

:length of the vowels元音的长度

Phonology 音系学

Phonology and phonetics

音系学和语音学

Phonetics is of a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages.

语音学研究的是人类所有语言的语音,旨在对语音进行描述和分类。

Phonology is interested in the system of sounds of a particular language; it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.

音系学研究的重点是特定语言的语音体系,语音表达意义作用。

Phone,phoneme and allophone

语音,音位,音位变体

Phones, which can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speaking a language.

语音是语音学研究的单位,是一个个具体的声音。

Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning.

音位是音系学研究的单位,是抽象的概念,每一个音位是一组语音特征的集合体,音位具有区别意义的作用。

The different which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme.

音位变体是一个音位在特定的语音环境力的具体体现,同一音位在不同语音环境里体现为不同的变体,也就是语音。

Phonemic contrast, complementary distribution, and minimal pair

音位对立,互补分布,最小对立对

rope and robe that /P/ and /b/ can occur in the same environments and they distinguish meaning; therefore they are in phonemic contrast.

可以出现在不同语音组合中的同一为止,产生意义差别。

/P/ and /Ph/ these two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in complementary distribution.

When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair. [pen] and [ben]

最小对立对指出现在同一位置上的一个音之外其余都相同的两个语音组合。

Some rules in phonology几条音系规则

Sequential rules 序列规则:blik, klib , bilk, kilb is possible. But lbki, ilbk, bkil , ilkb not possible.

Assimilation rules 同化规则

Deletion rule 省略规则

Sign, design, there is no {g} sound

Signature, designation the {g} is pronounced.

Delete a [g] when it occurs before a final nasal constant.

Suprasegmental features—— stress, tone, intonation

超切分特征——重音,声调,语调

the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called suprasegmental features;

超切分特征指切分即单音层面以上的音系特征。

三、 MORPHOLOGY 形态学请结合《词汇学中的构词法》进行学习。

语素:语言最小的意义单位

语素的类型

复合词的类型

复合词的特征

Morphology is a branch of grammar which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. It is divided into two sub-branches: inflectional morphology and lexical or derivational morphology.

形态学研究单词的内部结构以及构词规则,有屈折形态学和词汇形态学两大分支。

Morpheme:the smallest meaningful unit of language.

语素:语言最小的意义单位。

Free Morpheme: A free morpheme is one that can stand by itself. (independent)

自由语素可以作为单词独立使用。

Bound Morpheme: A bound morpheme is one that cannot stand by itself.

粘着语素必须和其他语素结合成单词

Bound Morpheme includes two types: (1) root (2)Affix(词缀)

1)Inflectional affixes (屈折词缀)(inflectional morphemes):

affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional 2)Derivational affixes(派生词缀) A) prefix: A prefix comes before words. B)suffix An adjective suffix(形容词后缀) that is added to the stem, whatever classis belongs to , the result will be an adjective.

free=free root(自由词根)

Morpheme(词素)

Bound root prefix

bound derivational

affix suffix

inflectional

Root and stem(词根和词干)

1) Root 2) Stem

The differences between root and stem:

A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity.

A stem is the surplus part after the cutting of inflectional morpheme in a word with inflectional morphemes,can be further analyzed, it sometimes could be a root.

Individualistic Undesirables

Individualist (stem) undesirable (stem)

Individual (stem) desirable (stem)

dividual (stem) desire (root, stem)

divide(root, stem)

Affixation词缀法(Derivation派生法):adding word-formation or derivational affixes to stem.

Prefixation前缀@:It's the formation of new words by adding a prefixes to stems.

1)'表示否定'nagative prefixes: un-,non,in-,dis,a- etc.

2)''reversative or privative prefixes: un-,de-dis etc.

3)'表示贬义'pejorative prefixes: mis-, mal-, pseudo- etc.

4)'表示程度'degree or size prefixes: arch-,

super-,out-,sub-,over-,under-,hyper-,ultra-,mini- etc.

5)'表示方向、态度'orientation & attitude prefixes:counter-,contra-,anti-,pro- etc.

6)locative prefixes:super-,sub-,inter-,trans- etc.

7)'表示时间、次序'time and order prefixes:fore-,pre-,post-,ex-,re- etc.

8)'表示数量'number prefixes:uni-/mono-,bi-/di-,tri-,multi-/poly- etc.

9)'混杂'miscellaneous prefixes:auto-, neo-, pan-, vice-

Suffixation后缀@: It's the formation of a new word by adding suffixes to stems.

1)noun suffixes 2)adjective suffixes 3)Adverb suffixes 4)verb suffixes

Compounding复合法(also called composition)

Compounding: is the formation of new words by joining two or more stems

Formation of compounds

Noun noun(名词+名词)—— handbook, sunshine

Adjective noun(形容词+名词)——highway, deadline

Features of compounds复合词的特征

书写特征

(Compounds are written in three ways: solid(airmail) hyphenated(air-conditioning)open(air force, air raid)

句法特征(复合词的词性一般取决于复合词最后一个成分的词性)

语义特征(复合词的意义具有习语性质,许多复合词的意义都不是其构成成分意义和总和)

语音特征(复合词的单词重音落在第一个构成成分上)

简明英语语言学知识点汇总

新编简明英语语言学知识点汇总1 Introduction 1.1 What is linguistics? Scientific study of language.

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Characteristics: ①language is system,elements of language are combined according to the rules;

②language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what it stands for, A rose by any other name would smell as well; ③language is vocal because the primary medium for all language is sound; Language is a system which consists of two structures. At the lower level there is a structure of sounds,which are meaningless by themselves.But the sounds can grouped or regrouped together into a larger numbers of units of meaning such as morpheme or words,which are found at the higher level of system(carp & park).Then the higher level can be arranged and rearranged into an infinite numbers of sentences;

Chapter 4 Phonology(音位学) 4.1 phonetics and phonology:语音学与音位学的区分 Both phonetics and phonology are concerned with speech.语音学和音位学都士对语音的研究。 定义区别 -Phonetics is a study of the production, perception and physical properties of speech sounds. 语音学是研究语音的生产、感知和物理性质的。 -Phonology studies how speech sounds are combined,organized,and convey meanings in particular languages.研究语音如何在在特定的语言中结合、组织和表达含义。 ---Phonology is language-specific.it is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.音位学是特定于语言的。它的研究对象是自然语言中的声音是如何组织和使用的。 ---Phonetics is a study of speech sounds while phonology is a study of the sound syst em of a language.语音学是一个研究语音的然后音位学是研究一种语言的声音系统的学科。 4.2 Phonemes,phones and allophones 音位、音子、音位变体 Different languages have different phonological systems.不同的语言有不同的语音系统。 定义: ①Phones are the smallest identifiable phonetic unit or segment found in a stream of speech. 音子就是在连续的发音中可辨认的最小语音单位或片段。 ②Allophones are the phones which represent a phoneme in a language and cannot change word meaning by substituting any of the set for another.音位变体是指代表语言中音位的音子,即使以一个取代另一个也不改变词义。 ③Phonemes are the minimal distinctive units in the sound system of a language.音位是语言系统中最小的独特的单位。 Allophones are the realization of a particular phoneme while phones are the realizatio n of phonemes in general.音位变体是一个特定音素的认知而音子则是一般的音素。 4.3Minimal pairs 最小对立体 The phonologist is concerned with what difference are significant or technically speaki ng, distinctive. Minimal pair---a pair of words which differ from each other by one sound. Three conditions(情况): 1)the two froms are different in meaning意义不同 2)the two forms are different in one sound segment声音片段不同 3)the different sounds occur in the same position of the two words.不同声音发生在两个单词的相同位置 Minimal set: a group of words can satisfy(满足)the three conditions . Minimal pairs help determine phonemes. 最小对立体用来定义音位。 4.4 identifying phonemes 识别音素 4.4.1 contrastive distribution,complementary distribution and free variation 对比分布,互补分布和自由变异 The distribution of a sound refers to the collective environments in which the sound concerned may appear.一个声音的分布是指其有关的声音可能出现的集体环境。 1)contrastive distribution对比分布 If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of on

新版简明英语语言学 Chapter 6 pragmatics 语用学

Chapter 6 pragmatics 语用学 知识点: 1.*Definition: pragmatics; context 2.*sentence meaning vs utterance meaning 3.*Austin’s model of speech act theory 4.Searle’s classification of speech acts 5.*Grice’s Cooperative Principle 考核目标: 识记:*Definition: pragmatics; context 领会:Searle’s classification of speech acts 综合应用:sentence meaning vs utterance meaning;Austin’s model of speech act theory;Grice’s Cooperative Principle 一、定义 1. Pragmatics语用学: Pragmatics: the study of how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication. Pragmatic can also be regarded as a kind of meaning study.语用学研究的是语言使用者是如何使用句子成功进行交际的。语用学也可以看作是一中意义研究。(它不是孤立地去研究语义,而是把语义置于使用语境中去研究的一门学科。) 2. Context 语境:The notion of context is essential to the pragmatic study of language, it’s generally considered as constituted by the knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer. 语境这个概念对语言的语用研究来说是必不可少的。一般认为他是由言者和听者的共享知识所构成的。 二、知识点 6.1.2 pragmatics vs. semantics语用学与语义学 二十世纪初,Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics 一书的出版标志着现代语言学研究的开始,同时也为现代语言学奠定了基础调,即语言应该作为一个独立的,内在的系统来加以研究。 语用学和语义学既有相关性又有相异性。两者都是对意义的研究。传统语义学把语义看成是抽象的,内在的,是语言本身的特性,不受语境的影响。因此传统语义学只研究语义的内在特征,不把语义研究置于语境中来考察。语用学研究的是交际过程中语言意义的表达和理解。语用学家认为不把意义放在语境中来考虑就不可能对语义进行充分的描述,因此在研究语义时是否考虑语境便成了传统语义学和语用学的根本区别所在。 Semantics 和Pragmatics的区分 Pragmatics studies how meaning is conveyed in the process of communication. The basic difference between them is that pragmatics considers meaning in context, traditional semantics studies meaning in isolation from the context of use.

前言 本书主要为参加英语专业(本科段)自学考试和全国研究生入学考试的考生而编写,是《英语语言学概论》(王永祥、支永碧,2007)的配套辅导用书。 自2007年起,《英语语言学概论》(王永祥、支永碧,2007)被确定为英语专业(本科段)自学考试的指定教材。在此期间,许多参加自学考试的考生希望能再出一本配套的辅导教材。他们中的不少人不仅希望自学考试轻松过关,还希望和全国其他学生一样将来能参加全国统一的研究生入学考试继续升造求学。而现有的教材内容和相关练习似乎还不能充分满足他们的需求。其一,配套练习尚不够全面,缺少问答题的参考答案;其二,和研究生入学考试真题相比,配套练习的类型也不够全面;其三,参加自学考试的学生往往很难得到老师的亲自授课和指导,而英语语言学理论和概念往往抽象难懂,再加上其它各种原因,不少考生不能轻易地掌握各章的所有重点、难点,因此,他们迫切需要有一本简单实用的自学考试指南和辅导练习帮助他们解决问题;此外,在英语专业研究生入学考试中,英语语言学是一门必考科目。入学以后,英语语言学也是英语专业研究生的一门必修课。鉴于此,他们希望了解更全面的英语语言学基本理论,多做一些更实用的英语语言学练习和真题,以备将来需要。为了满足广大自考学生和准备参加英语专业研究生入学考试的考生的需要,我们在广泛征求了各方面的意见之后,精心编写了本书。本书的编写除了主要参照王永祥、支永碧主编的《英语语言学概论》以外,我们还参考了胡壮麟主编的《语言学教程》(修订版)和戴炜栋、何兆熊主编的《新编简明英语语言学教程》和其它一些高校使用的语言学教程。 本书第一部分为英语语言学核心理论和概念,主要包括:本章主要考点,课文理解与重点内容分析;第二部分为英语语言学概论的十三章单元配套练习,和原教材中的练习稍有不同的是,在本部分,我们选编了部分自学考试真题和各个高校历年考研真题,以便考生更好地了解本章重点。这样,学生可以更有针对性地进行各章节的学习和复习。虽然该部分略有难度,但对考研和自考的学生都很有帮助;第三部分为英语语言学综合模拟试卷, 内容紧扣《英语语言学概论》,针对性很强,适用于英语专业各类考生;第四部分为江苏省自学考试英语语言学概论部分考试样题及参考答案。本书的习题主要包括以下七种类型:问答题、选择题、填空题、名词解释、是非判断题、汉英术语互译题、操作题。另外,为便于学习者了解考试重点,本书附加了江苏省英语专业(本科段)《英语语言学概论》自学考试新大纲2007版;另外,为便于自学者查询深涩难懂的语言学词汇,我们按照汉语字母顺序编写了常见的英语语言学术语汉英对照表,以补充原教材的些许缺失。 本书力求充分满足广大考生学习和考试的需要,帮助他们了解各章的主要考点和复习要点。祝参加英语专业自学考试的考生轻松克服《英语语言学概论》的学习难题,祝参加英语专业研究生入学考试的考生在本书的帮助下能轻松通过英语语言学这个难关,实现自己的梦想。 支永碧 2009年2月于南京师范大学随园
