Post-alveolar
（后齿龈音）
• Postalveolar sounds involve the area just behind the alveolar ridge as the passive articulator. The active articulator may be either the tongue tip or (usually) the tongue blade -- diacritic symbols can be used if it matters which. English postalveolars include [ F], [ V ], [tF] [dV].
Palatal
（硬腭音）
• The active articulator is the tongue body and the passive articulator is the hard palate. The English glide [j] is a palatal.

Chapter 1 Invitations to LinguisticsTeaching aims: let the students have the general idea about language and linguistics.Teaching difficulties: design features of language ; some important distinctions in linguisticsTeaching procedures1. language1.1 Why study language?为什么学习语言A tool for communication交流的工具An integral part of our life and humanity 人类生活和人性中不可或缺的一部分.If we are not fully aware of the nature and mechanism of our language, we will be ignorant of what constitutes our essential humanity.如果不能完全理解语言的本质和结构,我们就会对人类的本质一无所知.1.2 What is language?什么是语言1.2.1 different senses of language 语言的不同意义1. what a person says( concrete act of speech)a person’s consistent way of speaking or writinga particular level of speaking or writing e.g. colloquial language an abstract system2. A webster’s New Dictionrary offers a frequently used sense of the word “language”:a. human speech 人类的言语b. the ability to communicate by this means 通过言语来交流的能力c. a system of vocal sounds and combinations of such sounds to which meaning is attributed, used for the expression or communication of thoughts and feelings; 用来表达或交流思想和感觉的一套声音及这些声音互相结合的系统d. the written representation of such a system 系统的文字表达3. the barest of definition, language is a means of verbal communication.最简洁的定义:语言是言语交流的一种方式.Language is instrumental in that communicating by speaking or writing is a purposeful act. It is social and conventional in that language is a social semiostic and communication can only take place effectively if all the users share a broad understanding of human interaction including such associated factors as nonverbal cues, motivation, and socio-cultural roles. Language distinguishes us from animals.因为说和写的交流方式是一种有目的的行为,所以语言是实用性的;因为语言是社会符号,语言的交流只能在所有参与者广泛理解了人类的那些非言语的暗示,动机,社会文化角色等等互相关联的因素之后才能有效进行,因此语言又是社会的,约定俗成的.语言使人类区别于动物.1.2.2 definitions一.Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.What is communication?A process in which information is transmitted from a source (sender or speaker) to a goal (receiver or listener).A system----since elements in it are arranged according to certain rules systematically, rather than randomly. They cannot be arranged at will. e.g. He the table cleaned. (×) bkli (×)Why do we say language is arbitrary?Arbitrary----there is no intrinsic (logic) connection between a linguistic form and its meaning, between the sounds that people use and the objects to which these sounds refer. This explains and is explained by the fact that different language have different words for the same object, it is good illustration of the arbitrary nature of language . it is only our tacit agreement of utterance and concept at work and not any innate relationship bound up in the utterance. A typical example to illustrate the arbitrary of language is a famous quotation from shakepeare’s play:” Romeo and Juliet: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.一朵玫瑰不管它叫什么名字,闻起来都是一样香的.Symbols----words are just the symbols associated with objects, actions, and ideas by nothing but convention. Namely, people use the sounds or voval forms to symbolize what they wish to refer to.Vocal-------- the primary medium for all languages is sound, no matter how well developed their writing systems are. Writing systems came much later than the spoken forms. The fact that small children learn and can only learn to speak and listen before they write or read also indicates that language is primarily vocal, rather than written.Writing systems came into being much later than the spoken forms. People with little or no literacy can also be competent language users.Human ----language is human-specific.Human beings have different kinds of brains and vocal capacity.“Language Acquisition Device”(LAD)二.What characteristics of langauge do you think should be included ina good ,comprenhensive definition of language?Language is a rule-governed system; langauge is basically vocal; langauge is arbitrary ; langague is used for human communication.1.3 Design features of language 语言的结构特征Design features------ refers to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication. They are arbitrariness, duality, creativity/ productivity, displacement, clutural transmission and interchangeability.Design features----- are features that define our human languages,such as arbitrariness,duality,creativity,displacement,cultural transmission,etc.(指决定了人类语言性质的特征.例如任意性,二重性,创造性,移位性,文化转移性等.)The American linguist Charles Hockett specified twelve design features. What is arbitrariness?任意性a. arbitrariness----arbitrariness(任意性): one design feature of human language,which refers to the fact that the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meaning.(人类语言的本质特征之一,指语言符号的形式与意义之间没有自然的联系.)It was discussed by Saussure first.The link between them is a matter of convention.E.g. “house” uchi (Japanese)Mansion (French)房子(Chinese)(1) arbitrary between the sound of a morpheme and its meaning语言的音和义之间的任意性a. By “arbitrary”, we mean there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. 语言的意义和语音之间没有逻辑关系。

研究生英语多维教程第一册听力原文Chapter 1-2
研究生英语——多维教程——熟谙第一册原文TypescriptChapter 1 Learning to Listen1. Using What You Already KnowExercise 1Student: Excuse me.Counselor: Yes?Student: Do I need to make an appointment to register for an ESL class?Counselor: No, but you first have to take a placement test.Student: A test?Counselor: We need to find out what your ESL level is.Student: Oh, Okay. Where do I go to take the test?Counselor: We will be giving the test tomorrow at 3 o’clock in room 303. Can you come then? Student: Yes.Counselor: Good. Now, let me give you some forms to fill out so we can begin the registration process. Please write your name and address here, and your ID number here.Student: Okay. What do I write under teacher and section?Counselor: You can leave those blan k. We’ll fill it in tomorrow.Exercise 2Student A: I didn’t really understand what Ms. Smith was saying about the id, the superego and the ego.Student B: Oh, that’s easy. Look here on page 53. The id is the part of our personality that wants instant gratification. The ego tries to help the id get what it wants, but in a logical and practical way. The superego is like the personality’s police force. It monitors the id and the ego.Student A: Oh, I think I’m getting it. You mean the id, ego and superego are all part of our personality?Student B: Right. They are all interacting.Student A: Do you think we’ll need to give definitions?Student B: I don’t know. We may just have to match the names with the definitions. But we’d better study this some more just to be safe.2. Scanning for the Main IdeaExercise：A: I can’t believe it’s closed. I’ve got a class from 7 o’clock to 10 o’clock. What am I going to do? B: Well, there are some food machines in the Student Union. You could always go there.A: No way! I tried that once last semester and I got as s ick as a dog. There’s got to be something better.B: Well, we can go down to Main Street. There are a couple of places that I’m sure are open.A: We’d never make it back in time. It’s already 6:40. I think I’ll pass out if I don’t get something.I came her e right from work. I didn’t have time to stop by my apartment.B: I think there’s a stand in front of Smith Hall. You can at least get something warm there.A: Well, I guess we don’t have any other choice.B: Yeah, it’s either the canteen or three hours of listening to your stomach growl.3. Scanning for the Important PointsExercise：●Teacher: Good evening class. Before we begin tonight’s lesson. I want to remind you aboutnext Thursday’s midterm. Remember to review chapters one through eight in the book. You will be responsible for knowing all of the information in the chapters plus all of the other topics we have discussed in class. This test will include multiple choice, True/False, and essay questions. You will not be able to use any books, notes or dictionaries.●Now, last week, I spoke about the importance of using note cards and visual aids to prepareyour speeches. Tonight I’m going to talk about specific things that will help you with your speech delivery. Please take careful notes so you can use those techniques to improve your speech delivery.The first and perhaps the most important element of good speech delivery is eye contact. It is extremely important, especially in the English-speaking world, to make eye contact with your entire audience. This may be very difficult for you if you come from a culture where making direct eye contact is a sign of disrespect. But, you really need to practice this skill until you are comfortable looking directly at all of your audience members when you are speaking to them. Please note that you need to look at the entire audience. Please don’t direct your attention to just one person or one side of the room, and really be sure not to stare into the eyes of anyone for too long of a period.●Next, you need to make sure that when you talk to your audience, you are enthusiastic aboutyour topic and excited to share it with your audience. Vitality is a way of maintaining the audience’s attention and indicating to them that you firmly believe in what you are saying.V olume, intonation, facial expressions, and gestures all add to the vitality of your speech.Think abut a speaker you really liked. Did he or she just stand there and read words from a piece of paper? No, of course not. Probably the speaker was full of life and his or her energy forced you into becoming involved in caring about the topic of the speech.4. Inferencing (Making Intelligent Guesses)Exercise:Dr. Stevens: Ted, can I speak to you a minute?Ted: Yes, Doctor Stevens?Dr. Stevens: I finished reading your essay and before I return it to you, I was hoping you might be able to come in and speak with me about it.Ted: Oh, uh, okay, sure.Dr. Stevens: Can you come during my office hours?Ted: I think so. When are they again?Dr. Stevens: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 o’clock until 4:30.Ted: That’s no problem. Oh, wait a minute, I have football practice every day from 2 o’clock until 5 o’clock.Dr. Stevens: Hmm. Well, how about if we get together tomorrow right before class?Ted: Sure.5. Scanning for Specific Pieces of InformationExercise:You have reached the Student Union Activity Hotline.

Thank you for calling the Student Union.6. Using Context CluesExercise 1A: Let’s exchange phone numbers. That way, if one of us is absent, we can call eac h other for the homework assignments.B: That’s a great idea. My number is 555---A: Wait a second, this pen just died. Let me get another one.B: Here, take my pencilA: Thanks. Okay, what was it?Exercise 21. Sentence: H e’s a real stickler.A: Who’s you r history professor?B: I’m in Dr. Leydorf’s class.A: Oh, How is he?B: The class is interesting and I really like him, but he’s a real stickler. If you’re more than fifteen minutes late, he marks you absent, and you have to hand in every assignment on time or he lowers your grade.A: Ooh! He sounds really tough.2. Sentence: you could have knocked me over with a feather!A: How did you do on your composition?B: Oh, you won’t believe it. I hadn’t worked on it very long and I didn’t have time to check it o ver. When the teacher returned it to me with an “A” on it, you could have knocked me over with a feather!A: Wow. That’s great. You must be really smart.B: Or else just lucky.3. Sentence: I’ve got to cram for a test.A: Let’s go to a movie tonight.B: So rry, I’ve got to cram for a test tonight.

Sentence: Let’s get cracking.A: All right. We promised each other we’d get this report done today. Let’s get cracking.B: Aw, it’s such a beautiful day. Can’t we go for a walk and do this later?A: No, we’ll need to return these books to the library by five o’clock. We really have t o do this now.5. Sentence: Fat chance.A: Gee. It’s already a quarter after ten. Maybe Ms. Hughes is absent today.B: Fat chance. She’s never been absent a day in her life. I was in her class last year and she even came in when she had the flu.A: Well I guess she really loves teaching. Oh, here she comes now.7. Using Structure and Intonation CluesUsing StructureExercise 11. I’m taking Biology 101 this semester.2. I’m going to the Student Union at 7:00.3. We’re discussing parapsychological phenomena.4. When are you returning to the computer lab?5. We’re meeting with Dr. Stevens at the end of the lesson.Exercise 21.I am transcribing my sociology notes.2.John is defending his dissertation on Tuesday.3.We are forming a study group on the first day of class.4.I’m applying for financial aid to help pay my tuition and expenses.5.Ms. Wilson is correcting our essays over the weekend.Exercise 31.The professor is coming.2.The professor is coming in a little while.3.The Shakespeare Theater Group is performing Romeo and Juliet on the 17th.4.The Shakespeare Theater Group is performing Romeo and Juliet.5.The campus bookstore is having a big sale on all college sweatshirts.6.The campus bookstore is having a big sale on all college sweatshirts during Spring Break.Using Intonation CluesExercise1.I really wanted the new David Sedaris book. The professor in my contemporary lit classpraised it all last semester. The bookstore hasn’t been able to get a single copy for the last month. Oh, well. Maybe I can find a copy on .2.I used the new computer registration system to charge my tuition on my credit card, and theytotally messed it up. They were supposed to charge me $500 for the two art classes, and instead, it says that I’m enrolled in three history classes to the tun e of $900. This is ridiculous!3.Today is my graduation day. I am done! Now, I can finally spend my weekends doingsomething other than cramming for exams and writing term papers. Yippee!4.This schedule is baffling. It says that English 90 is offered at both the midtown and downtowncampuses, but the times are vague. Look here; does this nine mean AM or PM? Hmm, I’m stumped.5.Oh yeah. I absolutely recommend professor Ponz. She’s a real dilly, let me tell you. If youenjoy writing endless term papers on meaningless subjects, participating in class activities that have zero relevance to the topic of the course, she’s the teacher for you!Chapter TwoPart Two Main DialogueDenise: Excuse me, miss, how much does it cost to ride BART?Stranger: Well, that depends on your destination. From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as far as Fremont, it costs a lot more.Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Strang er: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that. Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth.Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take?Tom: Berkeley. We take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right?Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one stop on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station.Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change trains.Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it?Denise: It’s 8:15.Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after 8:04.Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch?Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train willstop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train right away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearin g a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming! You’d better hurry so you don’t miss it!Part ThreeExercise 3AThe BART system is a modern metro that links thirty-nine stations throughout Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

语音chapter_1-北京大学中国语言学研究中心
第一节语音的基础知识一、语音的性质什么是语音？语音是由人的发音器官发出来的具有一定意义的声音。
自然界的风声、雨声都不是由人的发音器官发出来的，所以不是语音；气喘声、打喷嚏声虽然是由人的发音器官发出来的，但那只是人的本能生理反应，并不具有意义，不起交际作用，所以也不是语音。
语音是语言的物质外壳，语言要通过语音来传递信息进行交际。
没有语音这个物质外壳，意义无法传递，语言也就不能成为交际工具。
语音具有物理的、生理的和社会的三种性质。
（一）语音的物理性质语音作为一种声音具有物理性质。
从物理上说，声音是由物体振动而产生的音波。
下面是音波示意图：图中 到b是一个波，b到c是另一个波。
A和A＇叫波峰，B和B＇叫波谷。
到b、b 到c的距离叫波长。
A、A＇、B、B＇到甲乙线上的距离叫振幅。
语音和其他声音一样具有音高、音强、音长、音色四种要素。
1．音高指声音的高低，是由发音体振动的快慢来决定的。
声波每秒振动的周期次数就是声波的频率。
振动的次数多，频率就高，声音就高；振动的次数少，频率就低，声音就低。
音乐里的音阶是由音高构成的。
汉语的声调，如北京话里的dū（督）、dú（独）、dǔ（赌）、dù（度），主要是由不同的音高构成的。
女人的声音听起来比男人高，就是因为女人说话时声波的频率比男人高。
2．音强指声音的强弱，是由声波振幅的大小决定的。
振幅大，声音就强；振幅小，声音就弱。
敲鼓时，用力大，音强就强，发出的声音就大；用力小，音强就小，发出的声音就小。
北京话里的“孝子”和“儿子”里的“子”音强不同，前一个“子”音强比较强，后一个“子”音强比较弱。
3．音长指声音的长短，是由发音体振动时间的长短决定的。
时间长，音长就长；时间短，音长就短。
英语eat（吃）和it（它）的区别，主要是其中元音i的音长不同。
eat里的i音长长，it里的i音长短。
广州话里“三”和“心”的不同，主要是其中元音ɑ的音长不同，“三”里的ɑ音长长，“心”里的ɑ音长短。

Organs of Articulation and English Phonemes
Classification of Consonants 辅音的分类
The lips, the tongue, the soft palate with the uvula, the vocal cords and the lower jaw are very active in the articulation of speech sounds. So speech sounds are produced by the vibration of the vocal cords and the definite movement of these organs of speech.
English Phonemes 音素
There are 48 phonemes in English, among which 20 are vowels and 48 are consonants. When they are drawn near together, they are made to vibrate by the air coming from the lungs, thus producing voice. When we pronounce vowels and voice consonants, the vocal cords are drawn near together and vibrate. When we pronounce voiceless consonants, the vocal cords are kept apart and, of course, do not vibrate.
语言学讲义第一章
Chapter 2Speech Sounds2.1 Phonetics and PhonologyWe can analyze speech sounds from various perspectives and the two major areas of study are phonetics and phonology•Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. •Phonology is the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of languages.Major branches of phonetics：1. Acoustic phonetics (发音语音学): the study of the physical properties of the speech sounds.2. Auditory phonetics (声学语音学): the study of the way listeners perceive these speech sounds.3. Articulatory phonetics (听觉语音学): the study of how the vocal tract produces the sounds of language.•Phonology is the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of languages.–It aims to ‗discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur‘.–In phonology we normally begin by analyzing an individual language, say English, in order to determine its phonological structure, i.e. which sound units are used and how they are put together.–Then we compare the properties of sound systems in different languages in order to make hypotheses about the rules that underlie the use of sounds in them,–and ultimately we aim to discover the rules that underlie the sound patterns of all languages. Differences Between Phonology and Phonetics2.2 Speech organsPositions of vocal folder( 声带)•V oiceless: [p, s, t] 声带分开，气流无阻碍•V oiced: [b, z, d] 声带相连，气流受阻•Glottal stop(喉塞音): [?] 声带紧闭，无气流通过•Nasals: [m, n, ŋ] 双唇紧闭，鼻腔发音2.3 Segments, divergences and phonetic transcription•Segment音段：there are 4 sound segments in pronouncing “above” (a-b-o-v)•Divergence偏差：ghoti → enough [f] →women [i] →[f i∫] fishnation [∫]→•phonetic transcription音标The IPA→International Phonetic AssociationInternational Phonetic Alphabet•In 1886, the Phonetic Te achers‘ Association was inaugurated by a small group of language teachers in France who had found the practice of phonetics useful in their teaching and wished to popularize their methods. It was changed to its present title of the International Phonetic Association (IPA) in 1897. The first version of the International Phonetic Alphabet (the IPA chart) was published in August 1888.2.4 Consonants and vowels•Consonants The sounds in the production of which there is an obstruction of the air-stream at some point of the vocal tract.•Vowel The sounds in the production of which no vocal organs come very close together and the air-stream passes through the vocal tract without obstruction.In what ways consonants differ from vowels?•Air-stream in Articulation--consonants: the flow of air comes out with some obstructions.--vowels: the flow of air comes out freely2) Function:--consonants are used to separate the vowels.--vowels are used to help the speech organs to get from one consonant position to the next.Categories of consonants:(according to manner of articulation & place of articulation)According to manner of articulation•Stop/plosive 爆破音Oral stop 口腔爆破[ b, p, t, d, k, g]Nasal stop 鼻腔爆破[ m, n, ŋ]•Fricative 摩擦音[ f, v, θ, ð, s, z ʃ, ʒ, h]•(median) Approximant 无摩擦延续音[w, ɹ, j]•Lateral (Approximant)舌边音[ l ]•Affricate (stop + fricative) 塞擦音[ tʃ, dʒ]•others: trill颤音tap一次性接触音flap闪音[r]According to places of articulation•Bilabial 双唇音[b, p, m]•Labiodental 唇齿音[f, v]•Dental 齿音[θ, ð ]•Alveolar 齿龈音[ t, d, n, s, z, ɹ, l ]•Postalveolar / palatal-alveolar颚齿龈音[ ʃ, ʒ]•Retroflex 卷舌音[ r ]•Palatal舌面中音[ j ]•Velar 软颚音[ k, g, ŋ]•Uvular 小舌音（法语中）•Pharyngeal 咽头音（阿拉伯语中）•Glottal 喉音[ h ]Table of English ConsonantsDescription of English consonants•The consonants of English can be described in the following manner:[p] voiceless bilabial stop[b] voiced bilabial stop[s] voiceless alveolar fricative[z] voiced alveolar fricativeV owels•English vowels P52V owel glides•Pure/ monophthong vowels [a] [i]•V owel glidesDiphthongs [ai] [ei]Triphthong [aie] [aue]Description of English vowels•The description of English vowels needs to fulfill four basic requirements:–the height of tongue raising (high, mid, low);–the position of the highest part of the tongue (front, central, back);–the length or tenseness of the vowel (tense vs. lax or long vs. short), and–lip-rounding (rounded vs. unrounded).•We can now describe the English vowels in this way:–[♓] high front tense unrounded vowel–[✞] high back lax rounded vowel–[ ] mid central lax unrounded vowel–[✈] low back lax rounded vowelEnglish vowels2.5 Coarticulation and Phonetic Transcription•2.5.1 Coarticulation•Sounds continually show the influence of their neighbors. For example, map, lamb. When such simultaneous or overlapping articulations are involved, we call the process coarticulation.–If the sound becomes more like the following sound, as in the case of lamb, it is known as anticipatory coarticulation.–If the sound shows the influence of the preceding sound, it is perseverative coarticulation, as is the case of map.2.5.2 Narrow and Broad Phonetic Transcription•◆Broad transcription: omit some details, not necessarily phonological, used in most dictionaries and language textbooks, often in square brackets [ ]◆Narrow transcription: phonological in character, differentiate speech sounds in more detail with the help of the diacritics, enclosed in slant brackets / /•[p] is aspirated in peak and unaspirated in speak.–This aspirated voiceless bilabial stop is thus indicated by the diacritic h, as [p h], whereas the unaspirated counterpart is transcribed as [p].2.6 Phonological AnalysisDefinition of Phonology•Yule‘s book, P54―Phonology is essentially the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language.‖ It studies speech as a purposeful human activity; it views speech as a sys tematically organized activity, intended– under normal circumstances—to convey meaning.Some Key Concepts of PhonologyPhone and Phoneme•A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning; some do, some don’t. e.g. [tin] → [t] [i] [n]•A phoneme can be defined as a minimal unit of sound capable of distinguishing words of different meanings. E.g. [tin] [din] → /t/ /d/–In English, the distinction between aspirated [p h] and unaspirated [p] is not phonemic.–In Chinese, however, the distinction between /p/ and /p h/ is phonemic.Differences Between Phone & Phoneme2.6.1 Phonemes and Allophones•Minimal Pairs•§Minimal pairs: When two words such as ―pat‖ and ―bat‖ are identical in form except for a contrast in one phoneme, occurring in the same position, the two words are described as a minimal pair.Allophones•Allophone: the phonetic variants of a phoneme, or, a set of different forms of a phoneme. e.g. the 2 allophones of the same phoneme /p/ are [pʰ] as in pin and [p] in spin.Complementary distribution•In this case the allophones are said to be in complementary distribution because they never occur in the same context:–[p] occurs after [s] while [p h] occurs in other places./p/ [p] / [s] _____[p h] elsewhere•This phenomenon of variation in the pronunciation of phonemes in different positions is called allophony or allophonic variation.•Phonetic similarity: the allophones of a phoneme must bear some phonetic resemblance•Free Variants and Free Variation (P59)Apart from complementary distribution, a phoneme may sometimes have free variants. For example, cup→[kʰɅpʰ] or [kʰɅpɅ] (the diacritic ― Ʌ‖ indicates no audible release in IPA symbols) The difference may be caused by dialect, habit or individual preference, instead of by any diatribution rule, such phenomenon is called free variation.2.6.2 Phonological processesAssimilationDefinition ---When two phonemes occur in sequence and some aspect of one phoneme is taken or ―copied‖ by the other, the process is known as assimilation, which is also often used synonymously with coarticulation.Types ---•Regressive assimilation /anticipatory coarticulation ( a following sound influences a preceding sound, e.g lamb);•Progressive assimilation /perseverative coarticulation (a preceding sound influences a following sound ,e.g ?to meet you )•Note: assimilation is also happened between words,e.g. sun glass /ŋ/, you can keep them. /ŋ/2.6.3 phonological rules•Nasalization rule (鼻音化):[-nasal] → [+nasal] / ____ [+nasal]→stands for “becomes”/ refers to “in the environment of ”___ “ focus bar” refers to “ the location of the change”/æ/→[æ̃] /____+nasal,+ consonant.e.g. lamb → [læ̃m b] can → [cãn]•Dentalization rule（齿音化）:[-dental] → [+dental] / ____ [+dental]e.g. tent [tɛnt] tenth [tɛṋθ]/n/ is dentalized before a dental fractive /θ/•Velarization rule（颚音化）:[-velar] → [+velar] / ____ [+velar]e.g. since [siṋθ] sink [siŋk]the alveolar nasal /n/ becomes the velar nasal /ŋ/ before the velar stop /k/. (They are all instances of assimilation.)Aspiration rule•V oiceless stop →aspirated/ word initially and initially in stressed syllable•V oiceless stop →unaspireted /#s __ (#:word boundary)voiceless stops are aspirated when they are the initial of a stressed syllable; and are unaspirated after /s/.e. g. “pin” for the first case, and “spin” for the latter one.Lengthening rule•V →V___C# voiced•(V owels are lengthened preceding voiced consonant)Flapping rule•Alveolar stop →voiced flap/V__V unstressed•(/t/,/d/ become [D] between two vowels, the second of which is unstressed)G lottalization rule•Stop voiceless →[?]/__σor /__nasal (σ:syllable boundary)•(/p/, /t/, /k/, especially /t/. Are glottalized when syllable-final or before nasals).Deletion rule•§Under certain circumstances some sounds disappear. Some preceding fricatives and affricates will be influenced by the following sound, which is a devoicing process, namely, the voiced sound will become voiceless.•[+voiced] →[+voiceless]/__ [+voiceless]•(f, v, s, and others)•( love to →[ lΛvtə] [lΛftə] ;•(For more examples please refer to P 61)The English pluralsEnglish Past Tense form•The regular past tense form in English is pronounced as [t] when the word ends with a voiceless consonant, [d] when it ends with a voiced sound, and [ɪd] when it ends with [t] or [d]. e.g. •stopped, walked, coughed, kissed, leashed, reached•stabbed, wagged, achieved, buzzed, soothed, bridged•steamed, stunned, pulled•played, flowed, studied•wanted, located, decided, guided2.7 Distinctive FeaturesThe idea of Distinctive Features was first developed by Roman Jacobson (1896-1982) in the 1940s as a means of working out a set of phonological contrasts or oppositions to capture particular aspects of language sounds. Since then several versions have been suggested.Definition: A particular characteristic which distinguishes one distinctive sound of a language (phoneme) from another or one group of sounds from another group.•[+voiced]& [+nasal] are distinctive features.•Some of the major distinctions include [consonantal], [nasal] and [voiced].–The feature [consonantal] can distinguish between consonants and vowels, so all consonants are [+consonantal] and all vowels [–consonantal].–[nasal] and [voiced] of course distinguish nasal (including nasalized) sounds and voiced sounds respectively•These are known as binary features because we can group them into two categories: one with this feature and the other without.–Binary features have two values or specificati ons denoted by ‗ + ‘ and ‗–‘ so voiced obstruents are marked [+voiced] and voiceless obstruents are marked [–voiced].•The place features are not binary features – they are divided up into four values:–[PLACE: Labial]–[PLACE: Coronal]–[PLACE: Dorsal]–[PLACE: Radical]•They are often written in shorthand forms. P672.8 Syllables•Suprasegmentals•Suprasegmental features are those aspects of speech that involve more than single sound segments.•The principal suprasegmentals are:2.8.1 the Syllable Structure•Syllable•Words can be cut up into units called syllables. A unit in speech which is often longer than one sound and smaller than a whole word.•Onset: the beginning sounds of the syllable; the ones preceding the nucleus. These are always consonants in English.•Rhyme( or rime): the rest of the syllable, after the onset. The rhyme can also be divided up: rhyme=nucleus + coda•Nucleus: the core or essential part of a syllable.•Coda: the final sounds of a syllable; the ones following the nucleus. These are consonants in English2.8.2 The syllable structureσO(nset) R(hyme)N(ucleus ) Co(da)k r æ k t •Monosyllabic word: a word with one syllable, like cat and dog,•Polysyllabic word: a word with more than one syllable, like transplant or festival•Open syllable: bar, tie•Closed syllable: bard, tied•Maximal Onset Principle (MOP)–When there is a choice as to where to place a consonant, it is put into the onset rather than the coda. /k∧ntri/2.9 Stress•Stress refers to the degree of force used in producing a syllable. In transcription, a raised vertical line [│] is often used just before the syllable it relates to.–A basic distinction is made between stressed and unstressed syllables, the former being more prominent than the latter.–Types: primary ~; secondary ~Changing English Stress PatternBecoming norm •inTEGral •coMMUNal •forMIDable •conTROVersyVerb •conVICT •inSULT •proDUCE •reBEL•BLACKboard•BLACKbird。
语言学教程第一章总结
1115101044 李素萍Chapter1 Invitation to Linguistics1.1 Why Study Language?Language is such an integral part of our life and humanity that too much about it has been taken for granted.Language plays a central role in our lives as individuals and social beings.1.2 What Is Language?Language is the systematic, conventional use of sounds, signs or written symbols in a human society for communication and self-expression.(David Crystal, 1992)Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.(Ronald Wardhaugh)To give the barest of definition, language is a means of verbal communication. In short, language distinguishes us from animals because it is far more sophisticated than any animal communication system.1.3 Design Features of LanguageArbitrarinessArbitrariness means that the form of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their sound and meaning. The dog barks wow wow in English but “汪汪汪” in Chinese.Arbitrary relationship between the sound of a morpheme and its meaning. Arbitrariness at the syntactic level. language is not arbitrary at the syntactic level.The link between a linguistic sign and its meaning is a matter of convention. DualityThe property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels has its own principles of organization:Primary units …words‟ (meaningful) consist of secondary units …sounds‟ (meaningless).CreativityLanguage is resourceful because of its duality and its recursiveness. We can use it to create new meanings.Words can be used in new ways to mean new things, and can be instantly understood by people who have never come across that usage before. Information imparted by animals is severely limited and confined to a small set of messages, as birds, bees.Because of duality the human speaker is able to combine the basic linguistic units to form an infinite set of sentences, most of which are never before produced or heard.Language is creative in another sense,that is, its potential to create endless sentences.DisplacementHuman languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication. Thus, we can refer to Confucius, or the North Pole.In a word, intellectual benefits of displacement to us is that it makes possible for us to talk and think in abstract terms.1.4 Origin of LanguageThe”bow-wow”, the” po oh-pooh” and the” yo-he-yo” theory1.5 Functions of LanguageLinguists talk about the functions of language in an abstract sense, that is, not in terms of using language to chat, to think, to buy and sell, to read and write, to greet, praise and condemn people, etc.For Jakobson, language is above all for communication.While for many people, the purpose of communication is referential, for him (and the Prague school structuralists), reference is not the only, not even the primary goal of communication.In conjunction with speaker, addressee, context, message, code, contact, Jakobson established a well-known framework of language functions based on the six key elements of communication, namely:referential (to convey message and information), poetic (to indulge in language for its own sake), emotive (to express attitudes, feelings and emotions), conative (to persuade and influence others through commands and requests), phatic (to establish communion with others)，metalingual (to clear up intentions and meanings).Halliday proposes a theory of metafunctions of language, that is, language has ideational, interpersonal and textual functions.Informative function(ideational function)信息功能Language is the instrument of thought and people often feel need to speak their thoughts aloud.Language serves for the expression of content and give helps to determine our way of looking at things.Interpersonal Function人际功能By far the most important sociological use of language, and by which people establish and maintain their status in a society， e.g. Dear Sir, Dear Professor, Johnny, yours, your obedient servant.It is concerned with interaction between the addresser and addressee in the discourse situation.Performative Function施维功能Language canbe used to do things, to perform action.It is primarily to change the social status of persons and is usually quite formal and even ritualized. For example, in Chinese when someone breaks a bowl or a plate the host or the people present are likely to say sui sui ping an. Emotive Function感情功能It is one of the most powerful uses of language because it is crucial in changing the emotional status of an audience for or against someone or something.It is a means of getting rid of our nervous energy when we are under stress, e.g. God, My, Damn it, What a sight, Wow, Ugh, Oh.It is also discussed under the term expressive function. The expressive function can often be entirely personal and totally without any implication of communication to others.Phatic Communion寒暄功能It refers to the social interaction of language.We all use small, seemingly meaningless expressions to maintain a comfortable relationship between people without involving any factual content. Ritual exchanges about health or weather such as Good morning, God bless you, Nice day often state the obvious.Recreational Function娱乐功能The recreational function of a language is often overlooked because it seems so restrictive in purpose and supposedly so limited in usefulnessThe use of language for the sheer joy of using it, such as a baby's babbling or a chanter's chanting.Metalingual Function元语言功能Our language can be used to talk about itself, for example, I can use the word book to talk about a book, and I can also use the expression “the word book” to talk about the sign “book” itself.1.6 What Is Linguistics?Linguistics is usually defined as the scientific study of language or, alternatively, as the scientific study of language. Linguistics is a rich and exciting field.Linguistics has firmly established its place as a major branch of humanities and social sciences as well.1.7 Main Branches of LinguisticsPhonetics语音学Phonetics studies speech sounds, including the production of speech, that is how speech sounds are actually made, transmitted and received, the description and classification of speech sounds, words and connected speech, etc.Phonology音系学Phonology studies the rules governing the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds and the shape of syllables. It deals with the sound system of a language by treating phoneme as the point of departure.A phoneme is the smallest linguistic unit of sound that can signal a difference in meaning.Morphology形态学Morphology is concerned with the internal organization of words. It studies the minimal units of meaning — morphemes and word-formation processes. Syntax 句法学Syntax is about principles of forming and understanding correct sentences. Semantics语义学Semantics examines how meaning is encoded in a language.Pragmatics语用学Pragmatics is the study of meaning in particular context. In other words, pragmatics is concerned with the way language is used to communicate rather than with the way language is internally structured.1.8 MacrolinguisticsOther disciplines such as psychology, sociology, ethnography, the science of law and artificial intelligence etc. are also preoccupied with language. Psycholinguistics心理语言学Psycholinguistics investigates the interrelation of language and mind, for example, in processing and producing utterances and in language acquisition. Sociolinguistics社会语言学Sociolinguistics is the study of the characteristics of language varieties, the characteristics of their functions, and the characteristics of their speakers as these three constantly interact and change within a speech community. Anthropological Linguistics人类语言学Anthropological linguists are interested primarily in the history and structureof formerly unwritten languages.Computational Linguistics计算语言学Computational linguistics centers around the use of computers to process or produce human language(also known as “natural language”, to distinguish it from computer languages).To this field, linguistics contributes an understanding of the special properties of language data, and provides theories and descriptions of language structure and use.1.21.What are synchronic and diachronic studies?The description of a language at some point of time (as if it stopped developing)is a synchrony study (synchrony). The description of a language as it changes throughtime is a diachronic study (diachronic). An essay entitled “On the Use of THE”, for example, may be synchronic, if the author does not recall the past of THE, andit may also be diachronic if he claims to cover a large range or period of time whereinTHE has undergone tremendous alteration (see Hu Zhuanglin et al.,pp25-27).1.22.What is speech and what is writing?No one needs the repetition of the general principle of linguistic analysis,namely, the primacy of speech over writing. Speech is primary, because it existedlong long before writing systems came into being. Genetically children learn to speak before learning to write. Secondly, written forms just represent in this way or thatthe speech sounds : individual sounds, as in English and French as in Japanese.In contrast to speech, spoken form of language, writing as written codes, giveslanguage new scope and use that speech does not have. Firstly, messages can be carriedthrough space so that people can write to each other. Secondly, messages can be carriedthrough time thereby, so that people of our time can be carried through time thereby,so that people of our time can read Beowulf, Samuel Johnson, and Edgar A. Poe. Thirdly,oral messages are readily subject to distortion, either intentional or unintentional(causing misunderstanding or malentendu), while written messages allow and encouragerepeated unalterable reading. Most modern linguistic analysis is focused on speech,different from grammarians of the last century and theretofore.1.23.What are the differences between the descriptive and the prescriptive approaches?A linguistic study is “descriptive” if it only describes and analyses the facts of language, and “prescriptive” if it tries to lay down rules for??“correct” language behavior. Linguistic studies before this century were largely prescriptivebecause many early grammars were largely prescriptive because many early grammarswere based on “high” (literary or religious) written records. Modern linguistics is mostly descriptive, however. It (the latter) believes that whatever occurs in natural speech (hesitation, incomplete utterance, misunderstanding, etc.) should bedescribed in the analysis, and not be marked as incorrect, abnormal, corrupt, or lousy.These, with changes in vocabulary and structures, need to be explained also.1.24.What is the difference between langue and parole?F. de Saussure refers “langue”to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community and refers “parole” to the actual or actualizedlanguage, or the realization of langue. Langue is abstract, parole specific to thespeaking situation; langue not actually spoken by an individual, parole always anaturally occurring event; langue relatively stable and systematic, parole is a massof confused facts, thus not suitable for systematic investigation. What a linguistought to do, according to Saussure, is to abstract langue from instances of parole,i. e. to discover the regularities governing all instances of parole and make thanthe subject of linguistics. The langue-parole distinction is of great importance, which casts great influence on later linguists.1.25.What is the difference between competence and performance? According to N. Chomsky, “competence” is the ideal language user‟s knowledgeof the rules of his language, and “performance” is the actual realization of thisknowledge in utterances. The former enables a speaker to produce and understand anindefinite number of sentences and to recognize grammatical mistakes and ambiguities.A speaker‟s competence is stable while his performance is often influenced by psychological and social factors. So a speaker‟s performance does not always match or equal his supposed competence.Chomsky believes that linguists ought to study competence, rather than performance. In other words, they should discover what an ideal speaker knows of hisnative language.Chomsky‟s competence-performance distinction is not exactly the same as , thoughsimilar to , F. de Saussure‟s langue-parole distinction. Langue is a social product,and a set of conventions for a community, while competence is deemed as a propertyof the mind of each individual. Sussure looks at language more from a sociologicalor sociolinguistic point of view than N. Chomsky since the latter deals with his issuespsychologically or psycholinguistically.。

第一节语音的基础知识
一、语音的性质
什么是语音？语音是由人的发音器官发出来的具有一定意义的声音。
自然界的风声、雨声都不是由人的发音器官发出来的，所以不是语音；气喘声、打喷嚏声虽然是由人的发音器官发出来的，但那只是人的本能生理反应，并不具有意义，不起交际作用，所以也不是语音。
语音是语言的物质外壳，语言要通过语音来传递信息进行交际。
没有语音这个物质外壳，意义无法传递，语言也就不能成为交际工具。
语音具有物理的、生理的和社会的三种性质。
物理属性、生理属性和社会属性（本质属性）
（一）语音的物理性质
语音作为一种声音具有物理性质。
从物理上说，声音是由物体振动而产生的音波。
下面
是音波示意图：
图中A到b是一个波，b到c是另一个波。
A和A＇叫波峰，B和B＇叫波谷。
A到b、b 到c的距离叫波长。
A、A＇、B、B＇到甲乙线上的距离叫振幅。
语音和其他声音一样具有音高、音强、音长、音色四种要素。
1．音高指声音的高低，是由发音体振动的快慢来决定的。
声波每秒振动的周期次数就是声波的频率。
振动的次数多，频率就高，声音就高；振动的次数少，频率就低，声音就低。
音乐里的音阶是由音高构成的。
汉语的声调，如北京话里的dū（督）、dú（独）、dǔ（赌）、dù（度），主要是由不同的音高构成的。
女人的声音听起来比男人高，就是因为女人说话时声波的频率比男人高。
2．音强指声音的强弱，是由声波振幅的大小决定的。
振幅大，声音就强；振幅小，声音就弱。
敲鼓时，用力大，音强就强，发出的声音就大；用力小，音强就小，发出的声音就小。
北京话里的“孝子”和“儿子”里的“子”音强不同，前一个“子”音强比较强，后一个“子”音强比较弱。
3．音长指声音的长短，是由发音体振动时间的长短决定的。
时间长，音长就长；时间
短，音长就短。
英语eat（吃）和it（它）的区别，主要是其中元音i的音长不同。
eat里的i音长长，it里的i音长短。
广州话里“三”和“心”的不同，主要是其中元音ɑ的音长不同，“三”里的ɑ音长长，“心”里的ɑ音长短。
4．音色（又称音质）指声音的特色，是由声波的不同形状决定的。
它是每个声音的本质，所以也叫音质。
音色是区别不同声音的最重要的要素，元音ɑ、o、i的区别就是由于它
们的音色不同。
下面是ɑ、o、i波纹的示意图：
（二）语音的生理性质
语音是由人的发音器官发出来的，因而具有生理性质。
发音时发音器官状况不同、所用的方法不同，发出的声音也不同，所以我们在学习语音时也要研究发音器官的构造及其在发音中所起的作用。
（三）语音的社会性质
语言是人类最重要的交际工具，具有社会性；语音是语言的物质外壳，也具有社会性。
每种语言的语音特点，如：有哪些音，没有哪些音；哪些音能和哪些音相拼，不能和哪些音相拼；哪些音能区别意义，哪些音不区别意义等等，这些主要不是由语音的物理性质和生理性质决定的，而是由语音的社会性质决定的，也就是由使用该语言的民众决定的，所以说语音的社会性是语音的本质属性。
例如，上海话有入声，北京话没有入声。
“吸、白、笔、入”，在上海话里是入声，发音短促，在北京话里不是入声，发音不短促。
又如，北京话里声母ɡ、k、h不和韵母i、û相拼，而胶东话里就可以相拼。
“去”北京话读qu，不读kû，而胶东话就读kû。
再如，北京话的n和l能区别意义，“脑”和“老”发音不同；而兰州话里n和l 不区别意义，“脑”“老”的声母既可以是n也可以是l。
二、发音器官
发音器官可以分为三个部分。
（一）肺和气管
气流是发音的动力，呼气时肺是气流的动力站。
气管是气流出入的通道，吸气时气流经过气管进入肺，呼气时气流由肺经过气管呼出。
汉语主要靠呼出的气流来发音。
（二）喉头和声带
气管的上部接着喉头。
喉头是由四块软骨构成的圆筒，圆筒的中部附着声带。
声带是两片富有弹性的肌肉薄膜，两片薄膜中间的空隙是声门，声门是气流的通道。
声带可以放松，也可以拉紧。
放松时发出的声音较低，拉紧时发出的声音较高。
声门可以打开，也可以关闭。
打开时，气流可以自由通过；关闭时，气流可以从声门的窄缝里挤出，使声带颤动发出响亮的声音。
（三）口腔和鼻腔
喉头上面是咽腔。
咽腔是个三叉口，下连喉头，前通口腔，上连鼻腔。
呼出的气流由喉头经过咽腔到达口腔和鼻腔。
口腔、鼻腔、咽腔都是共鸣器，对发音来说口腔最重要。
构成口腔的组织，上面的叫上腭 ，下面的叫下腭。
上腭包括上唇、上齿、齿龈、硬腭、软腭和小舌，下腭包括下唇和下齿，舌头也附着在下腭上。
舌头又分为舌尖、舌面和舌根。
上腭上面的空腔是鼻腔，软腭和小舌处在鼻腔和口腔的通道上。
软腭上升时，鼻腔关闭，气流从口腔通过，这时发出的声音叫口音。
软腭下垂时，口腔中的某一部位关闭，气流从鼻腔通过，这时发出的声音叫鼻音。
下面是口腔和鼻腔的示意图：
三、语音的基本概念
（一）音素和元音、辅音
音素是最小的语音单位，它是从音色的角度划分出来的。
例如，汉语里的 ɑ、i 、u 都是音素。
一种语言的语音系统大都是由几十个不同的音素组成的。
音素分为元音和辅音两大类，元音如ɑ、o 、e 、i 、u ；辅音如b 、p 、d 、t 、ɡ、k 、s 、r 。
元音和辅音的区别主要是：
1上唇 2 上齿 3 齿龈
4 硬腭
5 软腭
6 小舌
7 下唇 8 下齿 9 舌尖
10 舌面 11 舌根 12 咽腔
13 咽壁 14 喉盖 15 声带
16 气管 17 食道 18 鼻孔
1．元音发音时，气流不受阻碍；辅音发音时，气流通过口腔、鼻腔时要受到阻碍。
2．元音发音时，发音器官各部位保持均衡的紧张状态；辅音发音时，构成阻碍的部位比较紧张，其他部位比较松弛。
3．元音发音时，气流较弱；辅音发音时，气流较强。
4．元音发音时，声带要颤动，发出的声音比较响亮；辅音发音时，有的声带颤动，声音响亮，如m、n、l、r，有的不颤动，声音不响亮，如b、t、z、c。
（二）音节
音节是听觉上最容易分辨出来的语音单位，如“建设”是两个音节，“图书馆”是三个音节，“社会主义”是四个音节。
汉语音节和汉字基本上是一对一，一个汉字也就是一个音节。
只有少数例外，如“花儿、盆儿”都写成两个汉字，可是读成一个音节huür、pénr。
音节是由音素构成的。
北京话里一个音节可以只有一个音素，例如“啊”（ü）、“鹅”（é），也可以有两个或三个音素，例如“搭”（dü）、“地”（dì）、“人”（rén）、“民”（mín），最多可以有四个音素，例如“交”（jiüo）、“先”（xiün）。
（三）声母、韵母、声调
汉语音韵学的传统办法是把一个音节分为声母、韵母和声调三个部分。
声母指音节开头的辅音，韵母指音节里声母后面的部分。
例如dü（搭）的声母是d，韵母是ü；jiǎ（甲）的声母是j，韵母是iǎ；rǎnɡ（嚷）的声母是r，韵母是ǎnɡ。
元音、辅音和声母、韵母是从不同的角度分析语音得出来的概念。
元音、辅音是音素的分类，适用于一切语言；声母、韵母是对汉语的音节进行分析得出的概念，只适用于汉语和与汉语有相同的音节结构的语言。
在普通话中，声母都是由辅音充当的，韵母主要由元音来充当，有的韵母中也有辅音，但只限于n和nɡ。
换一个角度说，元音只用在韵母中，辅音主要用在声母中（只有nɡ不作声母）。
辅音n既用在声母中,也用在韵母中。
如音节niün(蔫)里的前一个n 是声母,后一个n是韵尾。
辅音 nɡ不用在声母中，只用在韵母中，如ɡünɡ（钢）里的nɡ。
声调指整个音节的高低升降的变化。
普通话里dū（督）、dú（毒）、dǔ（赌）、dù（度）这四个音节的声母和韵母都相同，只是声调不同，表示的意思也就不同。
