Predication analysis --- a way to analyze sentence meaning1. What is semantics?Semantics is the study of meaning in language.Or specifically, it is the study of the meaning of linguistic units, words and sentences in particular.Different focus of the study in semantics:Logical semantics/philosophical semantics: Logicians and philosophers have tended to concentrate on a restricted range of sentences (typically, statements, or …propositions?) within a single language.Linguistic semantics: The linguistic approach is broader in scope, aiming to study the properties of meaning in a systematic and objective way, with reference to as wide a range of utterances and languages as possible.2. Meanings of “Meaning”The word “meaning” has different meanings.It has been studied for thousands of years by philosophers, logicians and linguists.The naming theory: Plato & AristotleWords are just names or labels for things.Can you show the limitations of this theoryThe semantic triangle: C. K. Ogden & I. A. Richards (1923) → The Meaning of Meaning.There is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to. In the interpretation of meaning they are linked through the mediation of concepts in the mind. ?thought/reference (concept)symbolizes refers tosymbol/form referent(word, phrase) stands for(object)Geoffrey Leech (1974, 1981). Semantics: The Study of Meaning. Seven types of meaning:Conceptual meaningConnotative meaningSocial meaningAffective meaning associative meaningReflected and meaningCollocative meaningThematic meaning(1) Conceptual meaningIt makes the central part of meaning.Refers to logical, cognitive or denotative content.Concerned with the relationship between a word and the thing it denotes, or refers to.(2) Connotative meaningThe communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its purely conceptual content.A multitude of additional, non-criterial properties, including not only physical characteristics but also psychological and social properties, as well as typical features. ?Involving the …real world? experience one associates with an expression when one uses or hears it.Unstable: they vary considerably according to culture, historical period, and the experience of the individual.Any characteristic of the referent, identified subjectively or objectively, may contribute to the connotative meaning of the expression which denotes it.(3) Social meaningWhat a piece of language conveys about the social circumstances of its use.Dialect: the language of a geographical region or of a social class.Time: the language of the 18th c., etc.Province: language of law, of science, of advertising, etc.Status: polite, colloquial, slang, etc.Modality: language of memoranda, lectures, jokes, etc.Singularity: the style of Dickens, etc.domicile: very formal, official steed: poeticresidence: formal horse: generalabode: poetic nag: slanghome: general gee-gee: baby language (4) Affective meaningReflecting the personal feelings of the speaker, including his attitude to the listener, or his attitude to something he is talking about.Youre a vicious tyrant and a villainous reprobate, and I hate you for it!Im terribly sorry to interrupt, but I wonder if you would be so kind as to lower your voices a little. orWill you belt up.(5) Reflected meaningArises in cases of multiple conceptual meaning, when one sense of a word forms part of our response to another sense. When you hear …click the mouse twice, you think of Gerry being hit twice by Tom so you feel excited.Many taboo terms are result of this.(6) Collocative meaningThe associations a word acquires on account of the meanings of words which tend to occur in its environment.pretty: girl, boy, woman, flower, garden, colour, village, etc.handsome: boy, man, car, vessel, overcoat, airliner, typewriter, etc.(7) Thematic meaningWhat is communicated by the way in which a speaker or writer organizes the message, in terms of ordering, focus, and emphasis.Mrs Bessie Smith donated the first prize.The first prize was donated by Mrs Bessie Smith.They stopped at the end of the corridor.At the end of the corridor, they stopped.3. Sense and referenceSense and reference are two terms often encountered in the study of word meaning. They are two related but different aspects of meaning.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-contextualized. It is the aspect of meaning dictionary compilers are interested in.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.Every word has a sense, but not every word has a reference.Grammatical words like but, if ,and do not refer to anything. And words like God, ghost and dragon refer to imaginary things. Therefore it is suggested that we should study meaning in terms of sense rather than reference.4. Sense relationsSynonymygradableAntonymy complementaryconverseHyponymyPolysemy4.1 SynonymySynonymy refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonyms. Complete synonyms are rare. According to the way they differ, synonyms can be divided into the following groups:i. Dialectal synonyms --- used in different regional dialectsBritish English American Englishautumn falllift elevatorflat apartmenttube undergroundii. Stylistic synonyms --- differing in stylekid, child, offspringkick the bucket, pop off, die, pass away, deceaseiii. Synonyms that differ in their emotive or evaluative meaningcollaborator, accompliceiv. Collocational synonymsaccuse, chargev. Semantically different synonymssurprise, amaze, astound4.2 AntonymyThe term antonymy is used for oppositeness of meaning. Words that are opposite in meaning are antonyms.There are three types of antonyms.i. Gradable: Can be modified by adverbs of degree like very; Can have comparative forms; Can be asked with how. good, badyoung, oldhot, coldii. Complementary: the denial of one member of the pair implies the assertion of the other.alive, deadmale, femalepresent, absentiii. Converse or relational: exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the pair; one presupposes the other. husband, wifebuy, sellbefore, after4.3 HyponymyHyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more general word and a more specific word. It is a kind of inclusiveness. Superordinate: the more general wordHyponyms: the more specific wordsCo-hyponyms: hyponyms of the same superordinateflower, rose, lilyanimal, cat, dogfurniture, bed, desk4.4 PolysemyPolysemy refers to the sense relation that the same one word has more than one meaning. Such a word is called a polysemic word.table: a piece of furniture; orderly arrangement of facts, figures5. Componential analysis---a way to analyze lexical meaningComponential analysis is a way proposed by the structural semanticists to analyze word meaning.The approach is based upon the belief that the meaning of a word can be dissected into meaning components, calledsemantic features.HUMANman (ADULT, MALE)woman (ADULT, FEMALE)boy (NON-ADULT, MALE)girl (NON-ADULT, FEMALE)father: PARENT (x, y) & MALE (x)x is a parent of y, and x is male.take: CAUSE (x, (HA VE (x, y)))x causes x to have y.give: CAUSE (x, (~HA VE (x, y)))x causes x not to have y.Componential analysis provides an insight into the meaning of words and a way to study the relationships between words that are related in meaning.6. Predication analysis --- a way to analyze sentence meaningThe meaning of a sentence is obviously related to the meanings of the words used in it, but it is also obvious that sentence meaning is not simply the sum total of the words.Predication analysis: proposed by the British linguist G. LeechThe basic unit in this method is called prediction. It is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence.A predication consists of argument(s) and predicate.An argument is logical participant in a predication, largely identical with the nominal element(s) in a sentence.A predicate is something said about an argument or it states the logical relation linking the arguments in a sentence. Tom smokes.Tom is smoking.Tom has been smoking. TOM (SMOKE)Does Tom smokingTom does not smoke. argument predicateKids like apples. → KID, APPLE (LIKE)It is hot. → (BE HOT)AssignmentsHow can words opposite in meaning be classified To which category does each of the following pairs of antonyms belong?north/south vacant/occupiedliterate/illiterate above/belowdoctor/patient wide/narrowpoor/rich father/daughterhonest/dishonest normal/abnormalExercisesI. Multiple choice.1. The naming theory seems applicable to ___ only.A. verbsB. adjectivesC. adverbsD. nouns2. Hyponyms of the superordinate “flower” do not include “___”.A. wardrobeB. tulipC. lilyD. rose3. Predication analysis is a way to analyze ___ meaning.A. phonemeB. wordC. phraseD. sentenceII. Make judgments (true or false)1. In the diagram of the classic semantic triangle, the word “symbol” refers to the object in the world of experience.2. When the same one word has more than one meaning we call it a polysemic word.3. Complete synonyms, i.e. synonyms that are mutually substitutable under all circumstances, are rare in English.。

语言学概论第五章

第五章语义第一节语义的性质1 语义语义是语言形式表达的内容,是人的思维活动和情感活动的结果。
2 理性意义理性意义也叫逻辑意义或指称意义,是对主客观世界的认识。
在词语平面上,它是与概念相联系的那一部分语义;在句子平面上,它是与判断和推理相联系的那一部分语义。
理性意义是语义的基本要素。
3 词的非理性意义词的非理性意义是说话人的主观情感、态度以及风格等方面的内容,它一般附着在词的理性意义之上的,因而又叫做词义的“附加色彩”。
4 语汇形式和语汇意义语汇形式就是一种语言里所有的实词和固定短语。
由语汇形式表达的语义叫“语汇意义”。
5 语法形式和语法意义语法形式包括语序、虚词、形态、重音、语调等形式。
由语法形式表达的语义叫语法意义。
6 语言意义和语境意义语言形式所表达的意义有一般与个别、稳定与临时的分别。
在通常情况下都能够存在的意义是一般的、稳定的,在特定的上下文,特定的交际场合中或特定的知识背景下才能出现的意义是个别的、临时的。
一般的、稳定的意义是语言形式本身所表达的意义,而个别的、临时的意义则是语言形式在特定的交际场合和知识背景等语境因素的作用下所表达的意义,前者我们通常称之为“语言意义”,也就是语义,后者则通常叫做“语境意义”。
7简述语义的概括性。
概括性是语义的重要属性,无论是词义还是句义都是概括的。
词义是一定的语言社会对一定对象的概括反映。
词义从具体事物中抽象概括出可以使某类事物区别于他事物的特征,同时舍弃同类事物之间的各种差别。
正是由于词义是概括的,人们才可能用有限的词语去指称它们,如“鞋”的词义是“穿在脚上、走路时着地而又没有高筒的东西”,这个意义是从皮鞋、布鞋、棉鞋、平底鞋、高跟鞋、球鞋、旅游鞋、拖鞋等各种具体的鞋子中抽象出来的,它反映了各种鞋所共同具有而其他类事物所没有的特征,而这种鞋在材料、款式、用途等方面的差别则被舍弃了。
专有名词虽然用来指称世界上独一无二的事物,而不是指称整类事物,但它的词义也是概括的。
《语言学概论》第五章 语义和语用

《语言学概论》第五章語義和語用第五章語義和語用语义是以语音形式表达的各级语言单位所包含的意义,以及在语言使用过程中产生的意义。
语言意义:语言系统中固有的意义是抽象的、概括的、相对稳定的,不受语境和语境的影响。
语用意义:指在一定的交际环境中所表达的特定的、暂时的、隐含的意义。
第一节词汇和词义一词和词汇词是语言中可以自由使用的最小符号,是语法结构中最重要的语法单位。
词汇是一种语言中所有的词和成语等固定用语的总汇,具有全民常用性、稳固性、能产性。
一般词汇语言词汇中除了基本词汇以外的词,包括新词、古词、外来词、行业用语、科技术语、方言俚语等,其特点为:数量大,成分杂,变化快。
二词的词汇意义1概念意义也称词的“理性意义”,它是词义的核心,指说一种语言的人在对现实世界的认知中形成的共同的主观映像,是认知的成果。
它这包含三个方面:1它是对现实世界中各种现象的分类和概括反映;2它对于说一种语言的所有人来说是共同的;3它必须与某种语言的特定声音相结合。
2色彩意义也称词的“修辞意义”,是指以理性意义为基础附加上人们的主观态度的意义,包括感情色彩、形象色彩、语体色彩、联想色彩。
a感情色彩:是指说话者对所谈对象的主观感情评价和态度。
有褒、贬、中性之分。
b形象意义:词在获得理性意义的同时,还往往因对对象的描绘而具有某种形象感。
①内部形式比较生动的复合词;②拟声、绘色、摹状的词;③具有比喻义的词。
c语体意义:词用于不同的语体时所产生的一种附加意义。
d联想意义:通过理性意义或语音中介的联想而产生的,大多具有民族特点。
3搭配意义一个词经常与一些词组合而不与另一些词搭配,这种由于组合关系而产生的意义叫搭配意义。
三词义的概括性1一般。
在复合词的词义中可以更清楚地看到,在词义的泛化中,把特殊复杂的东西变成一般简单的东西。
2模糊性。
一个词的意义所指的现象有一个大致的范围,它还必须包含能区别于其他现象的特征,但往往没有明确的界限。
3全民性。

1. 形式与意义直接相关,用实线连接。 意义通过符号形式来表达,形式是语义 的载体。 2. 意义是在各观事物的基础上概括而成 的,是客观事物在头脑中的概括反映, 两者也有直接联系,用实线连接。 3. 形式和所指之间没有必然的联系,故 而两者间用虚线连接,所以同一事物可 以用不同的形式来表示。
