I. Introduction1. What is LanguageLanguage is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication2. What is Linguistics(语言学)Linguistics is the scientific study of language3.Some Basic Distinctions(区分) in Linguistics3.1 Speech and WritingOne 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 have3.2 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" behavior3.3 Synchronic(共时)and Diachronic(历时)StudiesThe 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 study3.4 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 LinguisticsGeneral 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 languagesMorphology(词法)is the branch of linguistics which studies the form of wordsSyntax(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 societyPsycholinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and the mindHistorical Linguistics(历史语言学) is the study of language changesAnthropological 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 manNeurolinguistics(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 themathematical features of language, often employing models and concepts of mathematicsComputational 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 computerII. Phonetics(语音学)1. scope of phoneticsSpeech 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 processAuditory 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 brainAcoustic phonetics (声学语音学)we study the physical properties of speech sounds, as transmitted(传送)between mouth and ear2. The vocal organsThe 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. Vowels (元音)The classification of vowels: the height oftongue 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 language2. Allophones(音位变体):The nondistinctive sounds are members of the same phoneme3. Minimal pairs(最小对立体):word forms which differ from each other only by one sound4. 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 word5. Complementary distribution(补充分类):Not all the speech sounds occur in the same environment. When two sounds never occur in the same environment6.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 content4. Allomorph(同质异象变体):some morphemes haveconsiderable variation, for instance, alternate shapes or phonetic forms5. 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 vocabulary7. 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 unlimited8. Word class(词性):It displays a wider range of more precisely defined classes9. Lexeme(词位):the smallest unit in the meaning system of a language that can be distinguished from other smaller units10. 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 language2. Construction or constituent (句子结构):the overall process of internal (内部)organization of a grammatical unit3. Syntactic function(句法功能): the relationship betweena 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), etc4. Category(范畴):It refers to classes and functions in itsnarrow sense, e.g. noun, verb, subject, predicate, noun phrase, verb phrase, etc. The categories of the noun include number, gender, case and countability5. Phrase: a single element of structure containing more than one word, and lacking the subject-predicate structure typical of clause6. Clause: a group of words with its own subject and predicate, if it is included in a larger sentence7. Sentence: It is the minimum part of language that expresses a complete thoughtVI. Semantics1. 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 context4. 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 life6. 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 includes1)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 lexis2. Invention: (新造词)new entities3. Compounding:(合成词)New words are sometimes constructed by combining two old words4. Blending: (混合词):It is a relatively complex form of compounding, in which two roots are blended by joining the initial part of the first root and the final part of the second root, or by joining the initial parts of the two roots5. Abbreviation or clipping:(缩写)A new word is created by cutting the final part or cutting the initial part6. 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) headword7. Metanalysis:(再分化)It refers to a process through whicha division is made where there were note before8. 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 verbs10. Borrowing(借用):English in its development has managed to widen her vocabulary by borrowing words from other languages11. 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)12. Grammatical change: Changes in both morphology(词法) and syntax(句法) are listed under this heading13. Semantic change:(语义变化)It includes broadening,(语义扩大) narrowing,(语义缩小) meaning shift,(意义转化)class shift(词性转换) and folk etymology.(词源变化)14. Orthographic change :(正字法)Changes can also be found at the graphetic level。

现代语言学

A Course of Modern LinguisticsChapter 1 Language and Linguistics1. langue and parole 语言和言语When we are looking at language, we may come across two very important terms—langue and parole which were introduced into linguistics by Saussure, a Swiss linguist. Langue is defined as the language system that speakers of the language conform to in their verbal communication. Parole refers to the concrete speech that individual speakers produce in their verbal communication.2. What is language?Language in ge neral is ―a system of symbols designed for the purpose of communicating thoughts or feelings, through the use of voice sounds or written symbols in organized combinations and patterns.‖3. Design features of language 语言的识别性特征In this course, we’re going to discuss seven design features: arbitrariness, non-arbitrariness, genetic-cultural transmission, duality, discreteness, productivity and systematicity.(1) Arbitrariness vs. non-arbitrariness 语言的任意性和非任意性Arbitrariness, the immense freedom offered by broad arbitrariness of language, is subject to the constraints imposed by non-arbitrariness, the necessary compliance with grammar, idiomatic usage and social norms.(2) Transmission of language 语言的传递性Genetic transmission (遗传传递性) was put forward by Chomsky. According to him, language ability was genetically determined.Cultural transmission (文化传递性) was put forward by Hockett. According to him, it is the cultural environment that plays a crucial role in language acquisition.(3) Duality of language 语言的二重性Language has two levels. The higher level is concerned with how meaningful units are combined into a larger construction to convey meaning. At the lower level, language consists of a sequence of segments without any meaning in themselves. Duality of language contributes to the flexibility and versatility of language by facilitating language transmission.(4) Discreteness of language 语言的离散性Discreteness of language refers to the property of language that the symbols at the lower level all have definable boundaries, allowing variations in form but no gradation or continuity in identity.(5) Productivity of language 语言的创造性Productivity of language refers to the property of language which allows or enables the speaker to construct or interpret a string of linguistic forms that has never been produced or encountered, provided that it complies with the rules of the language.(6) Systematicity of language 语言的系统性3. Linguistics 语言学Linguistics is the science of language.Chapter 2 PhoneticsPhonetics (语音学) is the science that studies sounds, especially speech sounds, providingmethods for the description, classification and transcription of the sounds used in speech.1.Three branches of phonetics 语音学的三个分支(1) articulatory phonetics 发音语音学(2) acoustic phonetics 声学语音学(3) auditory phonetics 听觉语音学2. V ocal organs (lungs, larynx, pharynx, mouth and nose) 发音器官the three elements necessary for speech sounds production: the vibration of a physical body or the turbulent airflow, the acoustic noise is resonated and magnified by the bodies of air in the vocal tract; the variations in the shapes of the air-containers in the vocal tract determine the differing qualities of the speech soundsfour functions of the larynx (vocal cords) in speech: generating vocal vibrations; producing a glottal stop; producing a glottal fricative; keeping vocal folds apart to let the air pass3. Consonants 辅音Consonants are sounds made by a closure or narrowing somewhere (i.e. place of articulation 发音部位) in the vocal tract so that airflow is either completely blocked, or so restricted that audible friction is produced (i.e. manner of articulation发音方式) and the sounds may or may not involve the vibration of the vocal folds (i.e. voicing声带是否振动).A distinctive feature区别性特征4. V owels 元音V owels are sounds articulated without a complete closure in the mouth or a degree of narrowing which would produce audible friction and the air escapes evenly over the centre of the tongue.distinctive features: the position of the lips, the two-dimensional tongue position.Chapter 3 PhonologyPhonology 音系学: the science that studies how speech sounds are used in language to convey meanings1. Phoneme, allophone, and phone 音位,音位变体和音素Phoneme is a group of sounds that are phonetically similar and show certain characteristic patterns of distribution in the language under consideration.Allophone refers to a phonological variation of a phoneme.A phone is a sound that is actually produced in communication; it is of physical identity and is concrete in nature.The relation between phoneme, allophone and phone is a matter of realization. A phoneme is realized by its allophones; an allophone is realized in turn by a phone.2. Supra-segmental phonology 超切分音系学Supra-segmental phonology is concerned with the phonological features that extend more one segment.(1) pitch & tone 音高和声调(2) loudness & stress 响度和重音(3) tempo & rhythm 速度和节奏(4) pause & juncture 停顿和音渡Chapter 4 MorphologyMorphology 形态学: the study of the structure and the formation of words in language1. Inflectional & derivational morphology屈折形态学和派生形态学inflection: the formal changes of a word or part of a word in relation to its differing grammatical meaningsderivation: the formation of a new word by adding an element such as an affix2. Morpheme, morph & allomorph 语素、语素形态和语素变体Morpheme is a minimal unit which is formally composed of meaningless linguistic symbols at the lower level of the language and which is used in a variety of contexts with a constant meaning.Morph is a phonological form representing the relevant morpheme in speech or in writing. Morpheme is abstract in nature and is realized through its morph.Allomorph is a morphological variant of morpheme (i.e. one member of the group of morphs that realize the morpheme in speaking or writing).3. Free morpheme & bound morpheme自由语素和粘着语素Free morpheme is a morpheme that can stand alone as a word. Bound morpheme is a morpheme that cannot stand alone as a word.4. Inflectional morpheme & derivational morpheme 屈折语素和派生语素5. Lexical morpheme & grammatical morpheme 词汇语素和语法语素Chapter 5 SyntaxSyntax 句法学studies the ways words are combined to form sentences in a language.1. Traditional bottom-up approach 自下而上的传统方法是从词到句进行研究2. Constituency top-down approach 自上而下的成分分析法是从句到词,通常以tree diagram(树形图)的方式研究句子3. Constituent Structure Rules vs Lexical Insertion Rules 成分结构规则和语汇插入规则three constituent structures:;;lexical insertion rule: one that governs selecting from the lexicon a lexical item and inserting it into a terminal node of a constituent structure as its daughter node4. Selection restrictions 选择限制Syntactical selection restriction 句法选择限制;Semantic selection restriction 语义选择限制5. Transformational generative grammarproposed by Noam Chomsky consists of three components: the syntactic component, the phonological component and the semantic component.The syntactic component in Chomsky’s model comprises of a set phrase structure rules and a set of transformational rules. Our discussion is focused on three types of transformations: passive transformation被动转换[NP1–Aux–V–NP2 –Aux+Pass–V–by+NP1: (1) The boy ate the cake. (2)The cake was eaten by the boy.]interrogative transformation 疑问转换[NP–Aux1–X –NP–X: (1)The boy has eaten the cake. (2) Has the boy eaten thecake?]negative transformation 否定转换[X–Aux1––Aux1+Neg–Y: (1) The boy will eat the cake. (2) The boy will not eat the cake. / NP –Tense – MV –– NP – MV –X: (3) The boy eats the cake. (4) The boy does not eat the cake.]Chapter 6 SemanticsSemantics语义学is the science of meaning.1. A very old view about meaning has been known as naming theory命名论.the conceptual view: the meaning of a word is the concept that is permanently associated with the word in our mindsA prototype is an original type, form or instance that serves as model on which later stages are based or judged.2. Sense & Reference 意义和所指sense: the meaning that relates linguistic forms with what is in the non-linguistic world;reference: the meaning that lies in the relation or contrasts among linguistic forms themselves Relation between sense and reference(1) Forms different in sense may have the same reference. (e.g. my new car; the car that I have just bought; This is the car.)(2) Forms identical in sense may have different references. (e.g. This is my car. This is my car.)(3) Forms that have a sense but have no reference. (e.g. The present King of France is bald.)3. Lexical meaning 词汇意义Lexical meaning refers to the sense in which a word is used.(1) Synonymy 同义关系Synonymy refers to the sameness in meaning between two or more words.–用在不同地域方言中的同义词(fall–autumn)–语体不同的同义词(ain't–’m not)–应用范围不同的同义词(employer–boss)–用于不同搭配的同义词(strong coffee–powerful machine)(2) Polysemy 多义关系Polysemy refers to the linguistic phenomenon that a word may be used in a number of different senses or is said to have a range of different meanings. (e.g. base)(3) Homonymy 同音/同形异义关系Homonymy refers to the sense relation that two or more words have the same form, both orthographic and phonologic, but differ in meaning (e.g. bear). (4) Antonymy反义关系Antonymy refers to the oppositeness of meaning.- gradable可分等级的反义词(more/ less)- complementary互补性反义词(man/ woman)- relationally opposite关系反义词(husband/wife)(5) Hyponymy 上下义关系Hyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more general word and a more specific word. (e.g. flower-rose)Chapter 7 Pragmatics, discourse analysis and text linguisticsPragmatics 语用学is the study of the meaning which is not included in semantics andwhose interpretation is dependent on its social contexts.Discourse analysis话语分析is the study of speech, focusing specially on the relation between discourse and its contexts.Text linguistics篇章语言学is part of discourse analysis, concerning mostly the grammatical or textual features of written language.1. Cohesion in texts of discourse衔接Cohesion refers to the linguistic property of units larger than the morpheme to bind together in construction, or the relations of meaning that exist within the text and that define it as a text. (1) Grammatical cohesionReference指代means indicating or referring something for interpretation. It may be analyzed into two categories: exophoric and endophoric.Substitution替代refers to the replacement of one item by another in the text and is concerned with the way substitutions realize the grammatical cohesion in the text.Ellipsis refers to the omission of an item in an utterance or in a text.Conjunction refers to the linguistic expressions that combine two elements in construction. (2) Lexical cohesion 语义衔接reiteration and collocation2. Cohesion vs. coherence 衔接和连贯Coherence refers to the natural, reasonable or logical connection in meaning among the componential parts of a text.The presence of the formal markers of cohesive relation does not necessarily mean the presence of coherence, nor does the absence of the formal marker entail the absence of coherence in the text.3. Implicatures 蕴涵Implicature refers to what a speaker implies, suggests, or means, as distinct from what is literally said. Implicatures may be divided into two types: conventional (what the speaker implies is conventionally associated with the expressions used by the speaker) and conversational (what the speaker implies has to be inferred from the particular context of the conversation).Conversational implicatures presume that the participants of the conversation follow a cooperative principle defined by Grice. The cooperative principle is embodied in four maxims. An implicature occurs when the speaker purposely flouts some of the maxims in conversation.the maxim of quality质量准则[the speaker is required to speak sincerely (e.g. A: What will you do if you fail the exam? B: I’ll eat my hat.)]the maxim of quantity数量准则[the speaker is required to provide as much information, not too much and not too little (e.g. A: I suffered a lot in the war. I heard that you suffered a heavy loss in the war, too. Tell me what you lost. B: War is war, you know.)]the maxim of relevance相关准则[the speaker is required to speak to the point (e.g. A: Will John come to our party? B: He is busy painting his house, you know.)]the maxim of manner方式准则[the speaker is required to speak clearly, briefly and to present events in a correct order (e.g. A: You’re eating the apple! Did you wash it? B: I eat it and then wash it, you know.)]4. Speech acts theory 语言行为论the locutionary act: the act of saying something meaningful in a particular language (e.g. Will you open the door for me)the illocutionary act: a conventionally associated act that the speaker simultaneous undertakes when performing the locutionary act (i.e. saying something meaningful) the perlocutionary act: an act performed as the consequence of the related locutionary and illocutionary actsChapter 8 SociolinguisticsSociolinguistics is the study of the various aspects of the relation between language on the one hand and speakers and society on the other.1. Dialect 方言regional dialects (or geographical dialects) & social dialects 地域方言和社会方言Regional dialect refers to a variety of language that is commonly found in a certain geographic region, and that may inform on the speaker’s geographic background. Social dialect refers to a variety of language that is commonly found among a certain group of people who have in common some social, cultural or economic features, and that may inform on the speaker’s social positions accordingly.2. Diglossia双语体Diglossia refers to a situation where two very different varieties of a language co-occur throughout a speech community, each with a distinct range of social function.3. Language planning(1) Lingua franca 族际通用语Lingua franca is now used to refer to a variety of language that is nobody’s native language and that is used to enable routine communication to take place between groups of people who speak different native languages.(2) Pidgins and Creoles 洋泾滨和克里奥尔语Pidgin refers to a kind of lingua franca which is also known as ―marginal language‖. It has a reduced grammatical structure, lexicon and stylistic range and has no native speakers. The formation of a pidgin usually involves two or more speech communities and requires considerable motivation on the part of the speaker.Creole refers to the pidgin which has developed from a mixture of languages and expanded in its vocabulary, grammar and stylistic range, which has acquired its own native speakers and assumed an equal or similar status of any human natural language.4. Language and society and cultureApart from establishing or maintaining social relationships between the speaker and the hearer or conveying information about the speaker, language may also reflect or reveal the social and cultural environment in which it is spoken.5. Language changeChapter 9 PsycholinguisticsPsycholinguistics is the study of the relation between language and mind, especially language acquisition and learning, and language comprehension and production.1. Language acquisition and language learningLanguage acquisition refers to the process that children use in acquiring their first language or languages before the critical age around 13.Language learning refers to the process that language learners undergo in their language learning through formal language education.(1) Different theories about language acquisition:– Imitation theory– Theory of reinforcement– Theory of innate capacity(2) Stages of language acquisition 习得语言的几个阶段-- The naming and holophrastic stage 单语词阶段-- The telegraphic stage 电报式语言阶段(双语词阶段)-- The morphemic-transformational stage 词素与转换阶段(更长更复杂的句子)(3) Language acquisition and errorsOver-generalization (over-extension)过度推广化refers to assigning new objects to a wordOver-regularization (over-simplification)过度规则化refers to applying a regulation or a rule to a form which is(4) Transfer errors 转移错误Transfer errors found in L2 learning refer to the errors resulting from improper applications of L1 rules to L2).2. Language and thoughtLanguage as the instrument of thinking3. Language comprehensionfour different levels: perceptual level 感知层次, lexical level 词汇层次, sentential level 句子层次, discourse level话语层次4.

浅说结构主义视角下的音位系统
—— 以英语音位系统为例
田弘瑶佳 2120131166
在特定的情境里,一个人用不同的语言说不同的事情,声 音是不同的。因此想要了解语言是怎样运转的,我们必须研究 的一个课题就是语音——说话中使用的声音的种类,以及他们 是怎样产生的,怎样被察知的。语言学中的这一部分叫做音系 学或音位学。 在音位学的研究中必须始终记住的是,语音和语音之间的 差别在语言里只有一种功能:把话语区分开来。
下表中共列出了9群词,分别形成9个竖行,既列举出了英语词开首的不同单 辅音,又提供了这些辅音之间可能的全部双边对立的例子。每个横行为开首辅音 相同的词。可以看到有22个不同的辅音,共计231个双边对立,至此任何可能出 现的新情况基本已被穷尽了。
收尾辅音的整理方法与开首辅音基本相同,不过需要更多的词群才能 阐明全部的可能性。下表指出有21个不同的收尾辅音:
1.2.3 大音段
用一个语调说出来的一串话语材料叫做大音段。每个大音段的末尾都带有一 个终端调型,它自动标出一个话语里连续的的音段之间的界限。 - 3No1↓ - 3I want to go1↓ - 2I want to go 3there1↓ - 2What are we having for 3dinner1↓2beef2↑

现代语言学教程

现代语言学教程

现代语言学教程
现代语言学是研究如何使用语言的结构、语言的变化以及如何沟通信息的研究领域。

现代语言学不但包括语言本身的研究,也包括语言的教学,交流,正确性,方言的文化,语言的演变,以及社会语言学,声学,口头传统等等。

现代语言学可以帮助人们更好地了解语言和语言文化。

现代语言学教程中,一般会让学生熟悉现代语言学的概念和技巧,以及发展自己在这门学科中的理解。

基本知识包括概念、术语、定义、历史和趋势,其中还包括构成语言和来源,以及各派系的特点,并让学生对比学习。

学习现代语言学的学生会渐渐了解其使用的语言的规则和架构,让语言的理解和表达更加丰富,更有效地交流。

现代语言学教程还会让学习者探索学习外语的策略和感受,着眼于文化的影响,在多语种的语境中,对对话中改变的视角,对多个文化地区的社会性别结构的理解,系统性学习,抓住语言表达中细小而重要的细节,以及掌握与文化有关的习惯用法等。

现代语言学教程既可以应用于学习外语,也可以用于学术研究,通过现代语言学的概念和方法,引入的思想可以更加深入地对多种语言文化进行探索和深入研究,使得语言学习和研究整体发展得更加完整且更有趣,更丰富饱满。

语言学教程[第十二章现代语言学理论与流派]山东大学期末考试知识点复习

语言学教程[第十二章现代语言学理论与流派]山东大学期末考试知识点复习

第十二章现代语言学理论与流派复习笔记I.索绪尔和现代语言学现代语言学始于瑞士语言学家索绪尔,他被称为“现代语言学之父”和一位“使语言学走向现代的大师”。

索绪尔认为,语言是用声音表达交流思想的符号系统。

符号是形式和意义的联合,是表示者和被表示者的结合。

符号是语言事实的核心,研究语言必须从符号本身的特性人手。

索绪尔区分了几组重要的概念:能指和所指,语言和言语,共时研究和历时研究等。

II.布拉格学派布拉格学派的形成可以追溯到马泰休斯领导召开的该学派的第一次会议。

1.主要观点及贡献布拉格学派的研究有三大重点:(1)强调共时研究的合理性,因为它可以提供完整且易掌控的研究材料。

(2)强调语言的系统性,指出任何语言单位都不能在孤立的的情况下得到令人满意的分析及评估。

换句话说,语言单位处于功能对比、对立之中。

(3)它将语言看作是在所属语言群体中发挥一系列功能的工具。

2.功能句子观功能句子观是一套语言学分析理论,它是指用信息论的原理来分析话语或文本。

其基本原则就是一句话中各部分起的作用取决于它对全句意义的贡献。

一些捷克语言学家尝试从功能的角度来分析句子。

他们相信一个句子包含话语的出发点和话语的目的。

话语的出发点叫做主位,它是说话人和听话人都知道的信息;话语的目的是说话人要向听话人传递的信息,叫做述位。

从主位到述位的运动揭示了大脑本身的运动。

功能句子观旨在研究话语中新(未知)、旧 (已知)信息的分布问题。

已知信息指那些对于听话人不再是新信息的部分;新信息是即将向听话人传达的信息。

句子中主语一谓语的分布不总是与主位一述位的分布一致。

3.交际能力另一种版本的分析法叫做交际能力,由费尔巴斯提出。

他用交际动力表示句子成分对交际发展所起的作用。

费尔巴斯把功能句子观解释为不同程度的交际力的分布。

他认为,句子前面部分承载的交际力最低,然后逐步增加,直到交际力最大的成分。

Ⅲ.伦敦学派1.介绍伦敦学派专门用来称呼独具英国特色的语言学研究。

4.can never go.
离心结构的特点是结构体的形类不同于
直接成分的形类。
离心结构可分为引导结构(包括介词结构、 连词结构、动宾结构)、系连结构和主谓 结构三大类。
引导结构和系练结构是短语形式 例如:on the table (介词结构)、saw john (动宾结构)
1.选择连接 2.上下文连接 如:black cat 1.she likes yellow clothes 和 strong soap will yellow clothes
3.标记连接 日语/anata no tomodati/(你的 朋友)有标记/no/ 4.在屈折语里,还有屈折连接
屈折连接包括:
英语:、A、V、NA、NV、AV、NAV七类, 凡不属于以上七类的是第八类——虚词
语法范畴:语法意义的大类。词形变化是语法
形式,每种词形变化都表示一定的语法意义,语 法范畴就是这些语法意义归纳出来的语法意义的 大类。分为选择范畴和屈折范畴两种。
语法范畴的类型:性、数、格、体、时、人称、 态等。
例如:太阳花在法语里是阳性,在德语里是阴性, 在俄语中是中性。
语素:语素是一种语言的话语里最小的独自有
意义的成分。语素是语法系统中的基础单位
语素配列:语素配列最基本的特点是层次性和递
归性。
例如:1.“这一个油桶大概在五分钟以内能流净”
2. “she bought a new hat (她买了一顶新帽子)和 he likes the old man (他喜欢这个老头)”
句法结构分为向心结构和离心结构。
向心结构:一个结构的形类至少与一个直
接成分的形类相似,即两者出现权的范围大 致重合。 例如:old dog 中old 是修饰语,dog是中心 语,men and women 中,men和women 向心结构有偏正结构(修饰型结构)和并列 结构(包括同位结构)
并列型向心结构就分类而言包括:1. 加合式,常常包含标记:and ; 2.选 择式,包含标记or; 3.其他的并列结 构;
例如:1.red and green
2.yesterday or today。
3.either john or bill 。
修饰型结构包括四种类型:1.修饰语在 前; 2.中心语在前; 3.修饰语是不连续的, 把中心语围在里面; 4.中心语是不连续的, 把修饰语围在里面;
例如:1.my dog 2.afraid of it the dark
(1)一致关系:muchacho bueno(孩子好=好孩子)
(2)支配的一致关系:梅诺米尼语的名词有数的
屈折

(3)支配关系:拉丁语短语ad eam partem(到那个
部分)
(4)互相参照:puer puellam amat(男孩女孩爱=
男孩爱女孩)
表层语法和深层语法
表层语法是显现于语言表面的语法, 最明显的、 可以直接观察到的层面构成表层语法。而深层 语法是对出现于语言实际运用中的语言形式所 作的内在分析,指的是潜在于句子内各成分或 形式的表层线性配列之下的语法和语义结构关 系。
句子是不跟其他任何语法形式处于 结构中的一种语法形式,即句子是 结构体而不是成分。
主谓结构的特点是说话人先说出一个 “话题”,再对“话题”作“说明”, 主谓结构体的“话题”通常是主语, “说明”通常是谓语,具有这种结构的 句子是常式句
处于结构中的句子或短语可以依靠一定方式互相 连接起来。包括以下方式:
《现代语言学教程》
语法系统浅析
语言是一个复杂的习惯系统,这种系统是有 结构的、分层面的。《现代语言学教程》把 语言分为三个中心分系统和两个外围分系统。
中心分系统:语法系统、音位系统、 语素音位系统 外围分系统:语义系统、语音系统
语法系统
每种语言都有自己的语法。霍凯特 说:“一种语言的语法或语法系统就 是:(1)该语言里所使用的全部语素。 (2)这些语素在话语中出现时彼此相 关的配列。”
语法核心是一种语言的语法要旨和不
同语言的语法系统之间的主要差别。 一种语言的语法核心包括:
(1)它的词类系统; (2)它的语法范畴; (3)它的功能成分; (4)它的结构类型和结构。
语法核心是一种语言的语法要旨和
不同语言的语法系统之间的主要差别。 霍凯特还改进了“直接成分分析法”, 不仅切分出语句的直接成分,还吸收 了传统语法的效果,标出直接成分的 结构关系。
语法系统:一种语言的语法系统由词法和
句法两个系统构成。
词是由较小的成分按一定模式构成,是句子中 以前后两个可能停顿为界的任何片段。词法包 括全部片段语素和由它们构成词的方法。词类 系统就是根据屈折上和句法上表现的异同对全 部词干做出分类。
分层划分词类:先根据词干在基本方面的
异同分出少数几个大类,然后根据附加的 标准层层分出小类 拉丁语系统的三分格局,包括:名词(广 义的)、动词、虚词
