第三章词汇 复习笔记 I.词 词是个语言表达单位,无论是在口语还是在书面语中,说母语的人都能够凭直觉识别这个语言单位。 1.词的三种含义 (1词是自然的有界限的对立单位; (2词既是一个普通术语又是一个专门术语; (3词是一个语法单位。 2.词的识别 (1稳定性 就词的内部结构而言,词是所有语言单位中最稳定的。 (2相对连续性 连续性指的是一个词的几个成分之间不可介入新的成分,即使这个词由多个成分构成。 (3最小的自由形式 词是能够独立构成一个完整语句的最小单位。 3.词的分类 (1可变词和不变词

可变词有形态变化,即词的一部分保持不变,另一部分有规则地变化以实现不同的语法功能。小变词没有形态变化。 具有词汇意义 (指代物质、动作和性质的词称为词汇词,例如名词、动词、形容词和副词。 表达语法意义的词是语法词,例如连词、介词和代词。 (3封闭类词和开放类词 封闭类词的成员数目固定,数量有限。像代词、介词、连词和冠词都属于封闭类词,一般不能轻易增加或衍生新的成员。 相比之下,开放类词的成员数目基本上是无限的,其数目会随着社会发展不断地、经常地增加。名同、动词、形容词和副词属于开放类词。 (4词类 在传统的名词、代词、形容词、动词、副词、介词、连词、感叹词和冠词的基础上,可新增助词、助动词、代词形式、限定词。 Ⅱ.语素和形态学 1.定义 语素是最小的语言单位,不能再进一步分成更小的单位而不破坏或彻底改变词汇意义或语法意义。 形态学研究词的内部结构以及词的构造规则,包括屈折变化和词的形成两个领域。 2.语素的类型 (1自由语素和粘着语素

①自由语素指能够单独出现或独立成词的语素。所有的单语素词都是自由语素,由自由语素构成的多语素词为复合词。 ②粘着语素指不能单独出现,必须跟至少一个其他语素共同出现的语素。 ①词根是构成词的基础成分,不能再做进一步分析而不破坏其意义。每个词都包括一个词根语素.它可以是自由语素或粘着语素。 ②词缀是那些只能附着于另一个语素 (词根或词干上的一类语素的总称。词缀都是粘着语素,可分为前缀、中缀和后缀三种。 ③词干指能加屈折词缀的语素 (组合,它相当于词根或词根加派生词缀。 (3屈折词缀与派生词缀 屈折词缀不改变原词的词类,只在词干后面添加一个微小或微妙的语法意义。 派生词缀常常改变词汇的意义和词类。英语中屈折词缀多为后缀,但派生词组还可以是前缀或后缀。 3.曲折变化与词的形成 (1曲折变化是通过附加屈折词缀表现语法关系,如数、人称、有定性、体和格,不改变所附加词干的语法类别。 (2词的形成指词形变化的过程,这些词形变化是标志词项之间关系的。词的形成可以进一步分为复合类 (复合词和派生类 (派生词两种。 ①复合词指那些由一个以上的词汇语素构成的词,或者由两个独立的词连接起来的构成新的形式。复合词可以进一步分为向心复合词和离心复合词。 向心复合词指具有一个意义上的中心词的复合词。 离心复合词指没有一个意义上的中心词的复合词。

语言学教程笔记 第一章语言学导论 语言的定义特征:从本质上将人类语言与动物语言区分开的人类语言的区别性特点。 1. 任意性:任意性是指语言符号的形式与所表示的意义没有天然的联系,任意性是语言的核 心特征。例如,我们无法解释为什么一本书读作 a /buk/,一支钢笔读作a /pe n/。 任意性具有不同层次:(1)语素音义关系的任意性。(2)句法层面上的任意性。 (3) 任意性和规约性。 2. 二层性:二层性是指拥有两层结构的这种特性,上层结构的单位由底层结构的元素构成, 每层都有自身的组合规则。话语的组成元素是本身不传达意义的语音,语音的唯一作用就是 相互组合构成有意义的单位,比如词。因为底层单位是无意的,而上层单位有明确的意义,所以我们把语音叫做底层单位,与词等上层单位相对。二层性使语言拥有了一种强大的能产 性。 3. 创造性:创造性指语言的能产性,指语言有制造无穷长句的潜力,这来源于语言的二层性 和递归性。利用二重性说话者可以通过组合基本语言单位,无止境地生成句子,大多数都是以前没有过的或没有听过的。 4. 移位性:是指人类语言可以让使用者在交际时用语言符号代表时间上和空间上并不可及的 物体、时间或观点。因此我们可以提及孔子或北极,虽然前者已经去世两千五百五十多年而 后者位置距我们非常之远。语言使我们能够谈及已不存在或还未出现的事物。移位性赋予人 们的概括与抽象能力使人类受益无穷。词在指称具体物体时,并不总是出现在即时、形象化 的语境中。他们通常为了体现指称含义而被使用。 5. 文化传递性:语言不是靠遗传,而是通过文化传递的。 6. 互换性:指人可以是信息的发出者,也可以是信息的接受者,即人作为说话者和听话者的 角色是可以随意更换的。 元语言功能:我们的语言可以用来讨论语言本身。比如说,我可以用“书”指代一本书,也可以用“书这个词”来指代“书”这个词本身。这使语言具有无限的自我反身性:人类可以谈论“说话”,也可以思考“思考"。所以只有人类才能提问:元语言功能对交际、思考及人类的意义是什么?

《普通语言学教程》索绪尔 绪论 第一章语言学史一瞥 语法(规范)-语文学(过于注重书面语)-比较语文学或比较语法(只比较)-新语法学派(语言集团集体精神的产物) 第二章语言学的材料和任务;与毗邻科学的关系 语言学的任务是:a 对一切能够得到的语言进行描写并整理他们的历史,尽可能重建每个语系的母语;b 寻求在一切语言中永恒地普遍地起作用的力量,整理出能概况一切历史特殊现象的一般规律;c 确定自己的界限和定义。它与社会心理学、生理学、语文学相关。语言学也有实际用途,特别是对于那些利用文献的人,另外对一般修养也很重要。 第三章语言学的对象 定义——在任何时候,语言都是现行制度和过去的产物。我们的研究方法是一开始就站在语言的阵地上,把它当做言语活动的其他一切表现的准则。语言和言语活动不能混为一谈,它只是言语活动的一个确定的部分,而且当然是一个主要部分,它既是言语机能的社会产物,又是社会集团为了使个人有可能行使这机能所采用的一整套必不可少的规约。语言本身是一个整体,一个分类的原则。它是一种约定俗成的东西,人们同意使用什么符号,这符号的性质是无关轻重的。对人类天赋的不是口头的言语活动,而是构成语言——即一套和不同的观念相当的不同的符号——的机能。人们说话的机能——不管是天赋的或非天赋的——只有借助于集体所创造和提供的工具才能运用,所以,说语言使言语活动成为统一体,绝不是空想。 语言在言语活动事实中的地位——言语循环重建:心理现象-生理过程-物理过程-生理过程-

心理现象 (c-i)这一主动过程称为执行部分,(i-c)这一被动过程称为接受部分,此外还有联合和配置的机能。语言是社会的、主要的,言语是个人的、偶然的、从属的。 语言的特征是:1 他是言语活动事实的混杂的总体中的一个十分确定的对象,是言语的社会部分。2 语言是人们能够分出来加以研究的对象。3 言语是异质的,而规定下来的语言是同质的,它是一种符号系统,在系统中,只有意义和音响形象的结合是主要的,符号的两个部分都是心理的。4 语言这个对象在具体性上比言语毫不逊色。即是音响形象的堆叠,又可转为文字。 语言在人文事实中的地位:符号学——语言是一种表达观念的符号系统。符号在本质上是社会的。 第四章语言的语言学和言语的语言学

《普通语言学教程》读书笔记

《普通语言学教程》读书笔记 10级汉语3班徐星星100322 本书著者是本世纪最著名、影响最深远的语言学家之一费尔迪南·德·索绪尔,在本书中,他对欧美语言学界所接触到的各种有关原理和方法的问题都作了总结,并且提出了自己独到的见解。这本书的影响也遍及世界。 首先在绪论的第三章中,索绪尔向我们阐释了语言的定义: 语言是一种约定俗成的东西,人们同意使用什么符号,这符号的性质是无关轻重的。即一套和不同的观念相当的不同的符号。人们说话的机能只有借住集体创造和提供的工具才能运用,不管是天赋的或非天赋的。所以说,说语言使言语活动成为统一体,那绝不是什么空想。在索绪尔看来。语言是语言共同成员中的语法体系,言语则是人们平时说的那些话,是依赖于语法系统的说话行为。言语是语言的体现。语言学研究实际语言行为中所潜藏的形式系统,因此,在索绪尔看来,语言学的对象是语言而不是言语。 索绪尔认为,把语言和言语分开,我们就把什么是社会的,什么是个人的,什么是主要的,什么是从属的和偶然的区分开来了。照此看来,语言学家主要的研究对象应该是“语言”、确定构成“语言”的单位及其组合规则,而不是去描写言语活动。“语言”是一个符号的系统,在这个系统中,只有意义和音响的形象的结合是主要的。 索绪尔为了确立语言学的研究对象,区分出“语言”和“言语”,他的“语言”和“言语”理论不仅对本世纪的语言研究的方法产生了深刻的影响,而且还影响着文学和符号学研究。 在第一编中,索绪尔指出语言是一个符号系统。语言是符号学的一部分,他强调语言具有一般符号系统的主要特征。语言与其他一切同类的的符号系统有以下几点共同点。一是目的相同,各种符号系统虽然采用的手段不同,复杂程度不同,但目的都是一样的,都是为了传递信息。二是它们的内涵相同,一切符号系统之所以能传递信息是因为它们与意义相联系。意义是符号的内涵,是符号在使用该系统的人在头脑中激发的概念。三是构成元素相同,无论使用

《语言学纲要》(叶蜚声_徐通锵)详细复习资料_课堂讲义笔记

语言学纲要讲义笔记 导言 一、语言的定义 语言是人类最重要的交际工具和思维工具、是由音义结合的词汇和语法构成的一种符号系统。 二、语言学的对象和任务 语言学是研究语言的科学。 要把语言学跟语文学区分开来 中国传统语文学——“小学” 小学是我国古代语文学的统称,由训诂学、文字学、音韵学三部分组成。 在古印度,公元前4世纪,著名学者潘尼尼在整理、注释婆罗门教经典《吠陀》时,写了一本《梵语语法》,提出3996条规则,被人们称为最完备的语法书。在古希腊,伯拉图和亚里斯多德是从哲学的角度来研究语言的,他们讨论了词为什么具有意义等内容。 三、语言学在科学体系中的地位 语言学既是一门古老的科学,又是一门年轻的科学。 1、与社会科学、自然科学的联系 语言研究的成果是哲学、历史学、考古学、文学、政治学、经济学、逻辑学、社会学、民族学、计算机科学等学科所必须利用的,可见语言研究在这些社会科学中已占重要地位。 语言学与其他学科相交叉产生社会语言学、心理语言学、计算语言学、生物语言学、模糊语言学、实验语音学等。如:运用语言传递信息的过程,可分为五个阶段: 编码——发送——传递——接收——解码 对这一具体过程的解释需要结合物理学、生理学、心理学等其他学科的知识。三、语言学的基本类别 总体上,根据研究对象的不同,语言学可以分为理论语言学和应用语言学两大类。(一)理论语言学可分为: 1、一般/普通语言学

2、个别/具体语言学 具体语言学 (1)历时语言学 (2)共时语言学 (二)应用语言学 1、社会语言学:研究语言与社会集团的关系。如地域方言、社会方言、语言的接触、语言规划等。 2、心理语言学:研究儿童语言习得、语言的接收和发生过程,等。 3、神经语言学 最近二十年才从心理语言学中分离出来的一门新的学科,主要研究语言和大脑结构的关系,中心是大脑如何生成语言。 此外,还有数理语言学、统计语言学、实验语音学等。 第一章语言的功能 第一节语言的社会功能 一、语言的信息传递功能 信息传递功能是语言的最基本的社会功能。 人类还借助语言之外的其他形式传递信息,它们是文字,旗语,信号灯,电报代码,数学符号,化学公式等等。 身势等伴随动作等是非语言的信息传递形式。 身势等非语言的形式多半是辅助语言来传递信息; 文字是建立在语言基础之上的最重要的再编码形式; 旗语之类是建立在语言或文字基础之上的再编码形式; 语言是人类社会信息传递第一性的、最基本的手段,是最重要的交际工具。二、语言的人际互动功能 语言的社会功能的另一个重要方面是建立或保持某种社会关联,这就是语言的人际互动功能。互动包括两个方面:一个是说话者在话语中表达自己的情感、态度、意图,另一方面这些又对受话者施加了影响,得到相应的语言或行动上的反馈,从而达到某种实际效果。

新编简明英语语言学教程戴炜栋第1-3章课后练习题答案

《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版第1-3章练习题参考答案 Chapter 1 Introduction P13 1. How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language? 答:Linguistics is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. In order to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system, the linguists has to collect and observe language facts first, which are found to display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them; then he formulates some hypotheses about the language structure. The hypotheses thus formed have to be checked repeatedly against the observed facts to fully prove their validity. In linguistics, as in any other discipline, data and theory stand in a dialectical complementation, that is, a theory without the support of data can hardly claim validity, and data without being explained by some theory remain a muddled mass of things. 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. 3. In what basic ways does modern linguistics differ from traditional grammar? 答:The general approach thus traditionally formed to the study of language over the years is roughly referred to as “t raditional gramma r.” Modern linguistics differs from traditional g rammar in several basic ways. Firstly, linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive. Second, modem linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written. Traditional grammarians, on the other hand, tended to emphasize, maybe over-emphasize, the importance of the written word, partly because of its permanence. Then, modem linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework. 4. Is modern linguistics mainly synchronic or diachronic? Why? 答:In modem linguistics, a synchronic approach seems to enjoy priority over a diachronic one. Because people believed that unless the various states of a language in different historical periods are successfully studied, it would be difficult to describe the changes that have taken place in its historical development. 5. For what reasons does modern linguistics give priority to speech rather than to writing? 答:Speech and writing are the two major media of linguistic communication. Modem linguistics regards the spoken language as the natural or the primary medium of human language for some obvious reasons. From the point of view of linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing. The writing system of any langu age is always “invented” by its users to reco rd speech when the need arises. Even in today's world there are still many languages that can only be spoken but not written. Then in everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed. And also, speech is always the way in which every native speaker acquires his mother tongue, and writing is learned and taught later when he goes to school. For modern linguists, spoken language reveals many true features of human speech while written language is only the “revised” record of spe ech. Thus their data for investigation and analysis are mostly drawn from everyday speech, which they regard as authentic.

Chapter 1 Invitations to Linguistics 1.1 Why study language? 1. Language is very essential to human beings. 2. In language there are many things we should know. 3. For further understanding, we need to study language scientifically. 1.2 What is language? 1.3 Design features of language The features that define our human languages can be called design features which can distinguish human language from any animal system of communication. 1.3.1 Arbitrariness 1.3.2 Duality 1.3.3 Creativity Creativity means that language is resourceful because of its duality and its recursiveness. Recursiveness refers to the rule which can be applied repeatedly without any definite limit. The recursive nature of language provides a theoretical basis for the possibility of creating endless sentences. 1.3.4 Displacement 1.4 Origin of language

索绪尔及其《普通语言学教程》之心得

费迪南德?德?索绪尔(Ferdinand de Saussure,1857-1913)是现代语言学的创始人。他是一位杰出的语言学家。作为一门新兴人文学科的开创者,他对语言哲学的影响也极为广泛深刻。 索绪尔出生于日内瓦,父亲是一位科学家。他从小受到自然科学的教育,同时也得到良好的语言教育和语言学教育,掌握法语、德语、英语和拉丁语,初通梵文。15岁时就写了一篇《语言论》。曾于日内瓦大学和莱比锡大学,研习物理、化学和希腊文。莱比锡大学当时是新语法学家的中心,在那的学习大致确定了索绪尔后来以语言学为业的道路。也就在这个时期,他发表了他的第一篇重要论文,《论印欧系语言中原因的原始系统》,引起学术界的重视,而那时他才年仅21岁。获得博士学位后,索绪尔移居巴黎,在高等研究学院讲授梵文、哥特语、古高地德语以及印欧语文学概况。1891年,他开始到日内瓦大学任教。日内瓦与巴黎的学术研究相比相对滞后。索绪尔穷究一生,不带任何传奇色彩。他在世时只是著名的语言学家,但他作为一个哲学家的地位,却是直到他死后才为人们所认可的。 索绪尔生前只发表过很少几篇相当专业的论文。1907-1911年期间,他在日内瓦大学担任普通语言学课程的教学。1913年他去世以后,他的学生和同事根据几本听课笔记才汇编成《普通语言学教程》一书,出版发行。索绪尔不仅吝于发表,他留下的笔记也很少,因此编辑这本书很不容易。因为,跟所有的老师一样,他讲课时也是有很多重复,甚至不一致的内容。难得的是编辑者们没有放弃,合并梳理成一本书,从而造就了一部惊世巨著。 《普通语言学教程》这部著作主要由绪论和附录两部分组成。绪论部分主要阐述了索绪尔对于语言系统的看法。索绪尔认为语言系统具有自主性和形式化这两个特点。他把语言现象划分为“内部要素”和“外部要素”两部分,并以此作为语言研究的前提。“内部要素”是指语言系统内符号与符号之间所形成的相互制约、相互对立的关系;“外部要素”则是指与语言有间接关系的政治、经济、文化、宗教、地理、历史等社会因素。因为索绪尔认为“内部要素”与“外部要素”之间无联系,且进行语言研究必须建立起一个界限清晰的“语言系统”。所以,他说:“我们关于语言的定义是要把一切跟语言的组织、语言的系统无关的东西,简言之,一切跟我们用‘外部语言学’这个术语所指的东西排除出去。”另外,索绪尔还阐发了“语言符号的价值决定于语言系统整体性质”的观点,并将此观点以及上面所提及的观点合在一起,共同支撑起关于语言系统具有自主性的说法。实际上,此举的真正目的是为语言学的研究对象下定义,且以此厘清语言和言语之间的关系。 语言是言语行为的社会部分,是个人被动地从社会接受而储存于头脑中的系统。它存在于个人意志之外,是社会每个成员共同具有的,是一种社会心理现象。言语是言语行为的个人部分,是个人对语言系统的运用。语言和言语紧密相连,互为前提。个人要说话使人理解,必须用语言,同时语言的存在又必须体现在言语当中,而且,使语言发生变化的也是言语。所以,语言既是言语的工具,又是言语的产物,但“这并不妨碍它们是两种绝对不同的东西” 在对语言学进行概述之后,《普通语言学教程》的附录部分进一步详细叙述了索绪尔的音位观、符号观以及结构主义研究方法论。他认为语言可为语音符号和文字符号,语音由心灵激活而被赋予意义,文字则只是语音的无生命的、随意的、可有可无的替代物。在符号观中,索绪尔对符号的“任意性”和“线条性”展开阐述,并且重点论述了符号的“不变性”与“可变性”特点。由此他不但揭

简明英语语言学教程第二版第6章答案

Chapter 6 PRAGMATICS 1. What does pragmatics study? How does it differ from traditional semantics? 答:Generally speaking, pragmatics is the study of meaning in the context. It studies meaning in a dynamic way and as a process. In order to have a successful communication, the speaker and hearer must take the context into their consideration so as to effect the right meaning and intention. The development and establishment pragmatics in 1960s and 1970s resulted mainly from the expansion of the study semantics. However, it is different from the traditional semantics. The major difference between them lies in that pragmatics studies meaning in a dynamic way, while semantics studies meaning in a static way. Pragmatics takes context into consideration while semantics does not. Pragmatics takes care of the aspect of meaning that is not accounted for by semantics. 2. Why is the notion of context essential in the pragmatic study of linguistic communication? 答:The notion of context is essential to the pragmatic study of language. It is generally considered as constituted by the knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer. Various continents of shared knowledge have been identified, e.g. knowledge of the language they use, knowledge of what has been said before, knowledge about the world in general, knowledge about the specific situation in which linguistic communication is taking place, and knowledge about each other. Context determines the speaker's use of language and also the heater's interpretation of what is said to him. Without such knowledge, linguistic communication would not be possible, and without considering such knowledge, linguistic communication cannot be satisfactorily accounted for in a pragmatic sense. Look at the following sentences: (1) How did it go? (2) It is cold in hem. (3) It was a hot Christmas day so we went down to the beach in the afternoon and had a good time swimming and surfing.

Therefore, while the meaning of a sentence is abstract, and decontextualized, that of an
