Chapter 2:Phonology

I. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False:

1. Voicing is a phonological feature that distinguishes meaning in both

Chinese and English.

2 If two phonetically similar sounds occur in the same environments and

they distinguish meaning, they are said to be in complementary

distribution.

3. A phone is a phonetic unit that distinguishes meaning.

4. English is a tone language while Chinese is not.

5. In linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing.

6. In everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing

in terms of the amount of information conveyed.

7. Articulatory phonetics tries to describe the physical properties of

the stream of sounds which a speaker issues with the help of a machine called spectrograph.

8. The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three

important areas: the throat, the mouth and the chest.

9. Vibration of the vocal cords results in a quality of speech sounds

called voicing.

10. English consonants can be classified in terms of place of articulation

and the part of the tongue that is raised the highest.

11. According to the manner of articulation, some of the types into

which the consonants can be classified are stops, fricatives, bilabial and alveolar.

12. Vowel sounds can be differentiated by a number of factors: the

position of tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels.

13. According to the shape of the lips, vowels can be classified into

close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels and open vowels.

14. Any sound produced by a human being is a phoneme.

15. Phones are the sounds that can distinguish meaning.

16. Phonology is concerned with how the sounds can be classified into

different categories.

17. A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if

substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning.

18. 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 phonemic contrast.

19. The rules governing the phonological patterning are language

specific.

20. Distinctive features of sound segments can be found running over

a sequence of two or more phonemic segments.

they are all b_______ sounds.

24. Of all the speech organs, the t ____ is the most flexible, and is responsible for varieties of articulation than any other. 25. English consonants can be classified in terms of manner of articulation or in terms of p_______ of articulation.

26. When the obstruction created by the speech organs is total or complete, the speech sound produced with the obstruction audibly released and the air passing out again is called a s________. 27. S_________ features are the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments. They include stress, tone, intonation, etc. 28.The rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular lan-guage are called s ____ rules.

29. The transcription of speech sounds with letter-symbols only is called broad transcription while the transcription with letter-symbols

together with the diacritics is called n_________ transcription. 30. When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as

i_________.

31.P___________ is a discipline which studies the system of sounds of

a particular language and how sounds are combined into meaningful

units to effect linguistic communication.

32. The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important cavities: the pharyngeal cavity, the o_______ cavity and the nasal cavity.

33. T_______ are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords and which can

distinguish meaning just like phonemes.

44.D

IV. Define the terms below:

45. phonology: Phonology studies 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.

46. phoneme: The basic unit in phonology is called phoneme; it is a unit

of distinctive value. But it is an abstract unit. To be exact, a phoneme is not a sound; it is a collection of distinctive phonetic features.

47. allophone: The different phones which can represent a phoneme in

different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme.

48. international phonetic alphabet: It is a standardized and

internationally accepted system of phonetic transcription.

49. intonation: When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the

sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation.

50. phonetics: Phonetics is defined as the study of the phonic medium of

language; it is concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world' s languages

51. auditory phonetics: It studies the speech sounds from the hearer's

point of view. It studies how the sounds are perceived by the hearer.

52. acoustic phonetics: It studies the speech sounds by looking at the

sound waves. It studies the physical means by which speech sounds are transmitted through the air from one person to another.

53. phone : Phones can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when

speaking a language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning.

54. phonemic contrast: Phonemic contrast refers to the relation between

two phonemes. If two phonemes can occur in the same environment and distinguish meaning, they are in phonemic contrast.

55. tone: Tones are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing

rates of vibration of the vocal cords.

56. minimal pair: 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.

V. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give examples for illustration if necessary:

57. Of the two media of language, why do you think speech is more basic

than writing?

1) In linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing.

2) In everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than

writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed.

3) Speech is always the way in which every native speaker acquires

his mother tongue, and writing is learned and taught later at school.

58. What are the criteria that a linguist uses in classifying vowels?

1) Vowels may be distinguished as front, central and back in terms

of the position of the tongue in the mouth.

2) According to how wide our mouth is opened, we classify the

vowels into four groups: close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels, and open vowels.

3) According to the shape of the lips, vowels are divided into

rounded vowels and unrounded vowels.

4) The English vowels can also be classified into long vowels and

short vowels according to the length of the sound.

59. What are the major differences between phonology and phonetics? They differ in their approach and focus. Phonetics is of a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages: how they are produced, how they differ from each other, what phonetic features they possess, how they can be classified. Phonology, on the other hand, 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.

60. Illustrate with examples how suprasegmental features can affect

meaning.

1) The location of stress in English distinguishes meaning, such

as `import and im`port. The similar alternation of stress also occurs between a compound noun and a phrase consisting of the same elements. A phonological feature of the English compounds, is that the stress of the word always falls on the first element and the second element receives secondary stress, for example: `blackbird is a particular kind of bird, which is not necessarily black, but

a black `bird is a bird that is black.

2) The more important words such as nouns, verbs adjectives ,

adverbs,etc are pronounced with greater force and made more prominent. But to give special emphasis to a certain notion, a word in sentence that is usually unstressed can be stressed to achieve different effect. Take the sentence “He is driving my car.” for example. To emphasize the fact that the car he is driving is not his, or yours, but mine, the speaker can stress the possessive pronoun my, which under normal circumstances is not stressed.

3) English has four basic types of intonation, known as the four

tones: When spoken in different tones, the same sequence of words may have different meanings. Generally speaking, the falling tone indicates that what is said is a straight-forward, matter-of-fact statement, the rising tone often makes a question of what is said, and the fall-rise tone often indicates that there is an implied message in what is said.

61. In what way can we determine whether a phone is a phoneme or not?

A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if

substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning. If it does, the two sounds then represent different phonemes.

语言学知识_音系学

音系学 一.音系学(Phonology)的定义: 音系学主要有以下两个任务:其一,发现某一特定语言中出现的所有能够区别意义的语音;其二,找出语音是如何组织起来表达意义的。 二.音素(Phone)、音位(Phoneme)和音位变体(Allophone): 音素(Phone):一个语音单元或音段。 音位(Phoneme):一个具有区别性价值的单位,是一组语音特征的抽象集合体。 音位变体(Allophone):同一个音位在不同语音环境下的实现的方式。 三.音位的分布(Distribution of Phonemes): 音位对立(phonemic contrast)以及互补分布(complementary Distribution):相似的音素之间相联系的方式主要有两种:如果它们是同一个音位的音位变体,不区别意义,就处于互补分布状态;如果它们不是同一个音位的音位变体,且能够区分意义,就构成了音位对立。 自由变异(free variation): 如果两个音素出现在一个相同的语音环境中,并不区别意义,换而言之,用一个音素替换另一个音素而不产生一个新词,仅仅产生同一个词的不同读音,那么这两个音素就处于自由变异。 最小对立体(minimal pairs): 如果两个单词,除了出现在同一个位置上的一个音以外,其余的都相同,则这两个词就构成了一个最小对立体。若最小对立体按照相同的条件进一步的扩展,扩展到多对,就构成了一个最小对立集(minimal set)。例如:hook和book,book和look,look和cook就构成了三对对立体,而这六个词则构成了一个最小对立集。 四.音系学的一些规则(Some Rules of Phonology): 在音系学中,孤立的音素是没有意义的。因此为了表达意义,音素必须组合在一起,但是也需要符合一定的组合原则。 1)序列原则(Sequential rules):即语音组成词在排列顺序上要受到一定的制约。音位系统规定了哪些音位可以放在词首,哪些可以放在哪些可以相互搭配。 2)同化原则(assimilation rule):一个音通过吸收其相邻音的特点,变得与其相似,这种音系规则叫做同化原则(assimilation rule)。如果后面的音同化了前面的邻音,这种同化叫做逆同化(regressive assimilation);反之,则叫做顺同化(progressive assimilation)。常见的同化有鼻音化(nasalization),齿音化(dentalization)和软腭 化(velarization)。 3)省略原则(deletion rule):有关于在什么条件下某个音被省略掉,即只有拼写形式存在而不发音的音系规则。 五.超音段特征(Suprasegmental Features): 超音段特征主要有音调(tone)、重音(stress)和语调(intonation)。 重音(stress):在产生一个音节过程中所用力的程度。重音分为两种:单词重音和句子

《语音学和音系学引论》 第二版

《语音学和音系学引论》(第二版) 分章导读 第一章导言 本章是全书的开篇,分为四个小题目:语音学和音系学,理论和分析,与其他领域的关系,全书的框架。 第一小节介绍本学科的研究范围。作者提出语音学和音系学从两个层面研究人类语音的发生和感知:第一个层面是语音的解剖和生理层面,涉及发音器官及功能、语音、传递语音的声波、听者对语音声波的分析和处理。在这一层面上的研究称为“语音学”,可以细分为语音的解剖学和生理学、发音语音学、声学语音学和听觉(或感知)语音学。在第二个层面上,语音被看作是一种有目的的人类活动,具有传达意义的目的,在这一层面上的语音研究称为“音系学”,因此音系学常被看作是与特定语言内部的语音构造有关的。 第二小节论述理论和实践的关系,指出本书旨在介绍一种科学的理论方法,是与会不会发音或会不会模仿截然不同的。普通人通过说话表达意义,从不有意识地考虑自己的哪些器官在做什么样的动作,但语言学家所感兴趣的恰恰是说话者的这些细微的过程和活动,并对此进行分析,对器官的动作和活动如何表达意义作出解释。 第三小节首先讲解语音学和音系学对口语的记录和描述以及对英语拼写的指导作用,然后讨论其在外语教学中的应用和有关英语标准发音(RP)的争论,最后说明语音研究与科学技术的相互联系。从事录音、语言描述和语言教学工作的人对语音知识会有一定的兴趣,而从事听力学、语言矫治和言语病理学的人员需要具备坚实的语音学和音系学基础。二十世纪的科技进步为语音研究提供了新的手段,使语音研究的成果与生理学、物理学和电子学有了更密切的关系。近年来语音研究与科学技术结合在语音合成和语音-文本转换方面也有了可喜的进展,具有很高的商业价值和对理论探索的兴趣,使语音学家和音系学家得以更加紧密地与计算机和人工智能方面的专家进行合作。 第四小节叙述本书的框架,指出各章的目的和方法。本书在结构上比较特别,语音学和音系学的内容交叉进行。第二、三、六、七、八章明显属于语音学的内容,其余各章属于音系学内容。这样做的目的是模糊语音学和音系学的界限,使这两个在很长一段时间独立进行研究的学科更加一致起来。 思考题: 1.语音学和音系学在对语音的研究上有哪些异同点? 2.语音学和音系学与我们平时发音的关系是什么? 3.语音学和音系学知识可以应用于哪些其他领域? 4.语音学和音系学与语言学的其他分支学科有什么关系?
