语言学问答题精选
•Qs:• 1. How do you understand the definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language.•Linguistics investigates not any particular language, but languages in general. •Linguistic study is scientific because it is based on the systematic investigation of authentic(可靠的，真实的) language data. No serious linguistic conclusion is reacheduntil after the linguist has done the following three things: observing the way language is actually used, formulating some hypotheses, and testing these hypotheses against linguistic facts to prove their validity.•• 2. In what basic ways does modern linguistics differ from traditional grammar?•1) Firstly, linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive. •2) Secondly, modern linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written.•3) Thirdly, modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework.• 3. Why is speech considered as the primary medium of human language? • 1.First, speech precedes writing. The writing system is always a later invention used to record the speech. There are still some languages that only have the spoken form.• 2.Then, a larger amount of communication is carried out in speech than in writing. • 3.Third, speech is the form in which infants acquire their native language.•• 4. What’s the difference between langue and parole?•Langue: the abstract linguistic system shared by all members of a speech community.•Parole: the realization of langue in actual use.•但索氏语言（Langue）乃一抽象语言系统，他的言语（Parole）指日常语言，两者均为结构语言学研究对象。

Most constructions are exocentric.1. semantics: Semantics can be simply defined as the study of meaning.2. Semantic triangle: It is suggested by Odgen and Richards, which says that the meaning of a word is not directly linked between a linguistic form and the object in the real world, but through the mediation of concept of the mind.3. sense : Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form. It is abstract and de-contexturalized. It is the aspect of meaning dictionary compilers are interested in.4. reference : Reference means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world. It deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience.5. synonymy: Synonymy refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning.

It is a matter of either one or the other.20. relational opposites: Pairs if words that exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the two items are called relational opposites. For example, husband---wife, father---son, buy---sell, let---rent, above---below.the truth of the other. E.g. Cindy killed the dog entails the dog is dead.(07F)或者Entailment is a relation of inclusion.If X entails Y,then the meaning of X is included in Y.22. presupposition: What a speaker or writer assumes that the receiver of the massage already knows to make an utterance meaningful or appropriate。

Four principles that make linguistic a science
• • • • Exhaustiveness Consistency Economy Objectivity
Practical application
• The applications of linguistics to other activities serving particular purposes in the world are collectively known as applied linguistics.
The range of general linguistics
• Levels of analysis • The linguistics concentrates on different though interrelated aspects of his subjectmatter, by attending to different types of features and by applying different types of criteria. These different and partial approaches have been called levels of analysis. For example, phonetics and grammar are two such levels.
Phonetics, phonology, grammar, semantics
• Phonetics study speech sounds, and phonology studies the rules that governing the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds. • The study of meaning is called semantics. • Grammar is concerned with patterns and arrangements of units established and organized on criteria.

11.3.2 The comprehension of sentences Psycholinguists first began to examine the comprehension of sentences by basing their research on the model of sentence grammar originally proposed by Chomsky on the 1950s. Chomsky’s model claimed that all sentences were “generated” from a phrase structure skeleto in everyday utterances by a series of transformational rules.
Psycholinguists based their early
experiments on sentence pairs like the following: (1) The dog is chasing the cat. (2) Isn’t the cat being chased by the dog? Psycholinguists who first experimented with this called it the Derivational Theory of Complexity (DTC), because difficulty in comprehension was derived from the number of transformations that were added on to the original phrase structure of the kernel sentence.
The general tendency for all listeners and
readers to make increasingly confident predictions about the meaning of a sentence as it progresses is well-tested in psycholinguistics and is called gardenpathing. A well-documented example of this phenomenon is : Since Jay always jogs a mile seems like a short distance to him. Since Jay always jogs a mile this seems like a short distance to him.
11.2.3 The relation of language and thought Language and thought may be viewed as two independent circles overlapping in some parts, where language and thought are consistent with each other and one never occurs without the other. Although language and thought may blend together as “verbal thought” and “inner speech”, there are occasions when one can think without language, just as one may speak without thinking.
Language does not so much determine the
way we think as it influences the way we perceive the world and recall things, and affects the ease with which we perform mental tasks.
11.1 What is psycholinguistics?
Psycholinguistics is the study of language in
relation to the mind. Psycholinguistics is viewed as the intersection of psychology and linguistics, which studies the ways we acquire, produce and comprehend languages. There are mainly two branches in psycholinguistics: cognitive psycholinguistics which studies the continuity of language with the workings of
11.2 The relationship between language and thought
11.2.1 Early views on language and thought Plato suggested that thought was the soul’s discourse with itself. In other words, thought and language were identical. This is called the monistic view. Aristotle argued that mankind could not have the same languages and that languages were but signs of psychological experiences.
the mind in general and seeking to ground a theory of psycholinguistics in accounts of cognition and experimental psycholinguistics which is the investigation through experiments of the psychological mechanism for the production and understanding of speech. Related terms include: Psychology of language deals with general topics concerning the relationship between language and thought; And psychology of communication which is the study of both verbal and non-verbal communications from the psychological point of view.

(1) One’s thinking is completely determined by his native language because one cannot but perceive the world in terms of the categories and distinctions encoded in the language. (2) The categories and distinctions encoded in one language system are unique to that system and incommensurable with those of other system.
11.3 Language comprehension
11.3.1 The comprehension of words
11.3.2 The comprehension of sentences 11.3.3 The comprehension of texts
11.3.1 The comprehension of words Word recognition may be explained by the following theories: A. Cohort theory（同级理论） B. Frequency effect（频效） C. Recency effects （时效） D. Context （语境效果）
(1) (2) (3)
(4)
For example, subjects were given a random assortment of sentences like the following and were then asked to recall both the sentence they had just heard and a string of words spoken immediately after the sentence. The dog is chasing the cat. Bus/green/etc. The dog isn’t chasing the cat. Car/blue/etc. Is the cat being chased by the dog? Bike/pink/peach/etc. Isn’t the cat being chased by the dog? train/yellow/stool/etc.
5) There are other channels for communicating our thoughts besides language like music and sculpture. 11.2.2 Sapir-Whorf hypothesis The hypothesis was proposed by the American anthropologist and linguist Edward Sapir and later his student Benjamin Lee Whorf. It has two major thrusts: linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity, which may be summarized as follows:
