I. Introduction

1. What is Language

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

2. What is Linguistics(语言学)

Linguistics is the scientific study of language.

3.Some Basic Distinctions(区分) in Linguistics

3.1 Speech and Writing

One general principle(原则) of linguistic analysis is the primacy of speech over writing. Writing gives language new scope(范畴) and uses that speech does not have.

3.2 Descriptive(描述性) or Prescriptive(说明性)

A linguistic study is descriptive if it describes and analyses facts observed; it is prescriptive if it tries to lay down rules for "correct" behavior.

3.3 Synchronic(共时) and Diachronic(历时) Studies

The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study and The description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study.

3.4 Langue(语言) and Parole(言语)

This is a distinction made by the Swiss linguist F.De Saussure (索绪尔)early last century. langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community and parole refers to the actualized(实际的) language, or realization of langue.

3.5 Competence(能力)and Performance(行为)

Competence is the ideal language user's knowledge of the rules of his language. Performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in utterances(发声).

4.The Scope of Linguistics

General linguistics is the study of language as a whole.

Phonetics(语音学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their description, classification and transcription.

Phonology(音韵学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the sound patterns of languages. Morphology(词法) is the branch of linguistics which studies the form of words.

Syntax(句法) is the branch of linguistics which studies the rules governing the combination of words into sentences.

Semantics(语义学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the meaning of language. Applied linguistics(应用语言学) is the study of the teaching of foreign and second languages.Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society.Psycholinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and the mind. Historical Linguistics(历史语言学) is the study of language changes.

Anthropological linguistics(人文语言学) uses the theories and methods of anthropology to study language variation and language use in relation to the cultural patterns and beliefs of man. Neurolinguistics(神经语言学) studies the neurological basis of language development and use in human beings.

Mathematical linguistics(数学语言学) studies the mathematical features of language, often employing models and concepts of mathematics.

Computational linguistics(计算语言学) is an approach to linguistics in which mathematical techniques and concepts(概念) are applied, often with the aid of a computer.

II. Phonetics(语音学)

1. scope of phonetics

Speech sounds may be studied from different angles, thus we have at least three branches of phonetics:

Articulatory phonetics(发音语音学)we may examine the way in which a speech sound is produced to discover which vocal organs are involved and how they coordinate(协调)in the process.

Auditory phonetics (听觉语音学)we may look into the impression a speaker makes on the hearer as mediated(调节)by the ear, the auditory nerve(神经)and the brain.

Acoustic phonetics (声学语音学)we study the physical properties of speech sounds, as transmitted(传送)between mouth and ear.

2. The vocal organs

The vocal organs may be viewed as consisting of three parts, the initiator of the air-stream,(气流发生器官)the producer of voice(声音发生器官)and the resonating cavities.(声音共振器官)

3. Consonants(辅音)

Places of articulation(发音部位): bilabial,(双唇)Labiodentals,(唇齿)dental,(齿)alveolar,(齿龈)retroflex,(卷舌)palate-alveolar,(上齿龈)palatal,(上颚)velar,(软腭)uvular,(小舌)glottal(声门)

Manners of articulation: plosive,(暴破)nasal,(鼻音)trill,(颤音)lateral,(边音)fricative,(摩擦)approximant,(近似音)affricate(破擦)

4. V owels (元音)

The classification of vowels: the height of tongue raising (high, mid, low), the position of the highest part of the tongue(front, central, back), and the degree of lip rounding(rounded, unrounded)

III. Phonology(音韵学)

1. phonemes(音素):a distinctive(有区别的)sound in a language.

2. Allophones(音位变体):The nondistinctive sounds are members of the same phoneme.

3. Minimal pairs(最小对立体):word forms which differ from each other only by one sound.

4. Free variation (自由变异):If two sounds occurring in the same environment(环境), they does not produce a different word form, but merely a different pronunciation of the same word.

5. Complementary distribution(补充分类):Not all the speech sounds occur in the same environment. When two sounds never occur in the same environment

6.Suprasegmental phonology(超音段音位):the study of phonological properties(性质)of units lager than the segment-phoneme. They are syllable(音节),stress,(重音)word stress, sentence stress. pitch (音调)and intonation(语调).

IV. Morphology(词法)

1. inflection(构形法):the grammatical relationships through the addition of inflectional affixes.(屈折词缀)

2. Word-formation(构词):the processes(过程)of word variations signaling lexical relationships.(表明词法关系)They are compound(合成)and derivation (派生).

3. Morpheme(词素):the smallest unit in terms of relationship between expression and content.

4. Allomorph(同质异象变体):some morphemes have considerable variation, for instance, alternate shapes or phonetic forms.

5. Types of morphemes: They are roots,(词根)affix(词缀)and stem(词干).

6. Lexicon(语言词汇):in its most general sense, is synonymous with vocabulary.

7. Closed-class words(封闭性)and open-class words(开放性):the former whose membership is fixed or limited and the latter whose membership is in principle(实际上)indefinite or unlimited.

8. Word class(词性):It displays a wider range of more precisely defined classes.

9. Lexeme(词位):the smallest unit in the meaning system of a language that can be distinguished from other smaller units.

10. Idiom(习语,成语):Most phrasal lexemes are idioms. It is especially true for a sequence of words(词序)which is semantically(语义上)and often syntactically(句法上)restricted.(限制)

11. Collocation(搭配):the habitual(习惯的)co-occurrences (同时出现)of individual lexical items.

V. Syntax (句法)

1. Positional relation or word order(词序):the sequential(顺序)arrangement of words in a language.

2. Construction or constituent (句子结构):the overall process of internal (内部)organization of

a grammatical unit .

3. Syntactic function(句法功能):the relationship between a linguistic form and other parts of the linguistic pattern in which it is used. The names of functions are expressed in terms of subjects, objects, predicates, modifiers,(修饰语)complements(补语), etc.

4. Category(范畴):It refers to classes and functions in its narrow sense, e.g. noun, verb, subject, predicate, noun phrase, verb phrase, etc. The categories of the noun include number, gender, case and countability.

5. Phrase: a single element of structure containing more than one word, and lacking the subject-predicate structure typical of clause.

6. Clause: a group of words with its own subject and predicate, if it is included in a larger sentence.

7. Sentence: It is the minimum part of language that expresses a complete thought.

VI. Semantics

1. Conceptualism or mentalism (概念主义):Following F. De Saussure(索学尔)'s "sign" theory, the linguistic sign is said to consist of a signifier (所指)and signified(被指), i.e., a sound image and a concept, liked by a psychological(心理的)"associative" bond.(相关联系)

2. Mechanism(机械主义):Some linguists, Bloomfield,(布鲁费尔德)for example, turned to science to counter(反)-act the precious theories and this leads to what call the mechanistic approach(方法). The nature of this theory has nothing to do with the scientific study of mental phenomena.(智力现象)

3. Contextualism (语境主义):It is based on the presumption(假定)that one can derive meaning from or reduce it to observable context.

4. Behaviorism (行为主义):Behaviourists attempt to define (定义)the meaning of a language form as "the situation(情景)in which the speaker utters(说话)it and the response(反应)it calls forth in the hearer."

5. functionalism (功能主义):functionalists as represented (代表)by the Prague school(布拉格

学派)linguists and neo-Firthian (新弗斯)linguists, approach the problem from an entirely new orientation(方法). They argue(争辩)that meaning could only be interpreted(解释)from its use or function in social life.

6. Sense relationships: While reference deals with the relationship between the linguistic elements, words, sentences, etc.,and the non-linguistic world of experience, sense relates to the complex system of relationships that hold between the linguistic elements themselves. They include synonymy(同义词),antonymy(反义词),hyponymy(下层次)Polysemy(一词多义)and Homonymy (同音异义词)

7. Semantic analysis: It includes 1) componential(成分)analysis which defines the meaning of a lexical element in terms of semantic components.(意义成分)2) predication (表述)analysis in which the meaning of a sentence is not merely the sum of the meanings of the words which compose it. 3) relational components in which the semantic analysis of some words presents a complicated picture, because they show relations between two and perhaps more terms.

VII. Language variation (语言变化)

1. Lexical change(词汇的变化):changes in lexis.

2. Invention: (新造词)new entities.

3. Compounding合成词)New words are sometimes constructed by combining two old words.

5. Abbreviation or clipping缩写)A new word is created by cutting the final part or cutting the initial part.

6. acronym取首字母的缩写词)It is made up from the first letters of the name of an organization, which has a heavily modified (修饰)headword.

7. metanalysis再分化)It refers to a process through which a division is made where there were note before.

8. Back-formation逆构词)It refers to an abnormal(非正常)type of word-formation where a shorter word is derived by deleting(去掉)an imagined affix from a longer form already present in the language.

9. Analogical creation:(类比造词)It can account for(说明)the co-existence of two forms, regular and irregular, in the conjugation(结合)of some English verbs.

10. Borrowing(借用):English in its development has managed to widen her vocabulary by borrowing words from other languages.

11. Phonological change(音变):It is related to language variation in the phonological system of language. It includes loss,(省音)addition,(加音)assimilation,(同化)dissimilation.(异化)

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;

Linguistics is a systematic study of language. ?Language is a system of verbal, arbitrary symbols for human communications. 3. Design features of language Design features: the features that define human languages. ▲arbitrariness ▲duality ▲creativity ▲displacement 4. Do animals have languages? 5. Perspectives of language studies Language involves three activities: a. Human brain b. muscular activity of the body c. social activity ?5.1 Language as innate天生的human knowledge Noam Chomsky (1928-) ?Institute Professor; Professor of Linguistics Language Acquisition Device (LAD) or Universal Grammar (UG) language acquisition is innately(biologically ) determined, that we‘re born with a genetic capacity that predisposes us to a systematic perception of language around us, resulting in the construction of an internalized system of language.

北京外国语大学英语学院语言学专业高分经验

北外英语学院语言学专业414高分经验 曾经得到许多人的帮助,首先要感谢他们无私的支持.我的梦想终于实现了,初试成绩414,复试成绩86。除了高兴以外,更多的是对给与我力量和鼓励的所有人的感谢!我在前人栽的树下乘过凉,现在希望自己也能种上一棵小树,为后来的人带来一片荫凉. 我考的是英语学院的语言学 初试: 前辈们写过很多有关初试的帖子,如何复习各门功课,每个人都有各自不同的学习方法,最主要的是找到一个适合自己的方法,还有就是要脚踏实地,不能浮躁。在此。我写的也仅仅是我自己的看法,仅供借鉴。 基础英语的复习,以前我听人家说经济学家很好,于是我就买来一大堆,天天啃,但是说实话,还真是相当痛苦,而且效果不明显,因为我对经济方面的东西一点都不感兴趣,而且经济学家的经济类词汇量很大,几乎每次阅读的时候都是在锻炼我文曲星上的键盘,那是锻炼我自己啊?!后来我看了几天就放弃了,转而看些别的英文杂志,本人觉得《英语文摘》比较不错,我有订去年一年的《英语文摘》,当然这个月刊肯定是不够摄入量的,另外还会看些《中国日报》,《英语学习》,《21世纪》什么的。《21世纪》比较简单,纯当娱乐了。除了阅读以外,翻译的练习也很重要,我买了张培基的散文,还有八级的翻译题,每天都做一段,然后拿自己的译文跟他们的译文相比较,自己的译文不一定必须跟参考答案的一样,有时候你甚至会发现自己的译文比参考译文更好,当然,自己不如参考译文的地方便是应该学习、提高的地方。另外,我自己还经常温习备考专业八级时候用的八级词汇册,不知道有没有用,就是当个心理安慰,背单词最多还是在阅读的时候,碰到了不认识的就尽量背下来。 语言学的复习,我觉得仅仅看参考书目是不够的,不管是谁写的书,如果有时间的话,最好都买来看看,虽然讲的都是入门的知识,但是每本书都会从不同的角度来解释同一个理论或是知识,这样就加深了理解,所以说,不用背的,如果踏踏实实看完5、6本语言学方面的书的话,不记住都难了。当然,有的书跟别的书写的是一模一样的,也搞不清是谁抄了谁的,所以在买书的时候要先好好过滤。 日语的复习,基本上是把握住了标准日本语的前三本就够了,我也曾经老老实实地把初级和中级那四本书学完了,但是到复习的时候,我的第四本日语书都不知道被我扔到哪个爪哇国去了。所以学的都是前三本的知识,觉得是够用了的。我用的是旧版的标准日本语,其实新版和旧版的都一样,新版的单词量比较大一点,但是知识点基本上跟旧版的是一样的。另外,我觉得做日语题也是比较重要的,不然学到的知识很容易忘掉。刚开始学的时候,做的是跟标日配套的练习册,到了后期做的是日语二级题。北外历年的日语试题的难度跟国际日语考试的二级水平差不多,这是分析 真题得出的结论。 所以说真题的利用非常重要,要尽量熟悉真题,在复习的过程中才能有个大致的方向,有时候,学着学着,可能会觉得很茫然,这时候就应该看看真题了。到后期的时候,真题显得更重要了,不管之前是不是已经做过,每年的卷子都要掐时

They are displacement, productivity, cultural transmission, arbitrariness, discreteness and duality. 3. Displacement移位 Language can be used to refer to things which are in the past, present or future, real or imagined,or in far-away places. 4. Duality二元性 It is generally the case that language is organized at two levels or layers which is known as the physical level and meaningful level simultaneously. 5. Arbitrariness任意性 It is generally the case that there is no …natural? connection between a linguistic form and its meaning. 6. Manner of articulation发音方法 It is the case that we describe the consonant sounds in terms of how they are articulated. 7. Place of articulation发音部位 It focuses on describing consonant sounds in terms of where they are articulated. 8. articulatory phonetics发音语言学 The general study of the characteristics of speech sounds is called phonetics. And the study of how speech sounds are made, or …articulated? is articulatory phonetics. 9. Phonology音系学 The description of the systems and patterns of the speech sounds in a language. 10. Assimilation同化 It is the process when two phonemes occur in sequence and some aspect of one phoneme is taken or …copied? by the other. For example, the word …can? in the sentence …I can go.?may pronounce as [k??] instead of [k?n] because of the influence of the following sound [g]. 11. Back-formation逆构法,逆序构词 A word of one type is reduced to form another word of different type. For example, the word …donation? first came into use and then the verb …donate? was created from it.

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.

英语专业考研 语言学复习题附答案

英语专业考研语言学复习题附答案 Chapter I Introduction I. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False: 1. Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language. 2.Linguistics studies particular language, not languages in general. 3. A scientific study of language is based on what the linguist thinks. 4. In the study of linguistics, hypotheses formed should be based on language facts and checked against the observed facts. 5. General linguistics is generally the study of language as a whole. 6. General linguistics, which relates itself to the research of other areas, studies the basic concepts, theories, descriptions, models and methods applicable in any linguistic study. 7. Phonetics is different from phonology in that the latter studies the combinations of the sounds to convey meaning in communication. 8. Morphology studies how words can be formed to produce meaningful sentences. 9. The study of the ways in which morphemes can be combined to form words is called morphology. 10. Syntax is different from morphology in that the former not only studies the morphemes, but also the combination of morphemes into words and words into sentences. 11. The study of meaning in language is known as semantics. 12. Both semantics and pragmatics study meanings. 13. Pragmatics is different from semantics in that pragmatics studies meaning not in isolation, but in context. 14. Social changes can often bring about language changes. 15. Sociolinguistics is the study of language in relation to society. 16. Modern linguistics is mostly prescriptive, but sometimes descriptive. 17. Modern linguistics is different from traditional grammar. 18. A diachronic study of language is the description of language at some point in time. 19 Modern linguistics regards the written language as primary, not the written language. 20. The distinction between competence and performance was proposed by F. de Saussure. II. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given: 21. Ch omsky defines “ competence” as the ideal user’s k__________ of the rules of his language. https://www.360docs.net/doc/e35181706.html,ngue refers to the a__________ linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community while the parole is the concrete use of the conventions and application of the rules. 23.D_________ is one of the design features of human language which refers to the phenomenon that language consists of two levels: a lower level of meaningless
