语言学纲要期末复习重点

语言学纲要期末复习重点

1、语言学的三大发源地中国、印度、希腊—罗马。

最初的语言学是是为了给遗留下来的政治、哲学、历史、、文学等古典文献作注解,而不是探索语言的规律。

这时候的语言学还不是一门独立的学科。

2、语言符号的特点语言符号具有任意性和线条性的特点。

〔1〕任意性是指语言符号的声音形式和意义内容的结合是任意的,二者没有必然联系。

比方:粤方言中读"人〞,读作[zen],新会话读作[ngæ n],开平话有的读作[ngæn] 、[ngin],台山话读作[ngin],闽南话读作[n^ng],但是表达的意义是一样的。

〔2〕线条性指的是语言符号的能指在时间上呈线性排列。

在交际过程中,语言符号只能一个跟着一个按时间顺序出现,形成延续的线性序列,绝不可能在同一时间说出两个符号。

如:"庄〞的语音形式就是由zh-u-a-ng四个音素依次出现而形成的。

3、组合关系和聚合关系〔1〕组合关系是指构成线性序列的语言成分之间的构造关系。

即两个或两个以上同一性质的构造单位〔例如音位与音位、词与词等等〕,按照线性的顺序可以前后连接起来的横向关系。

〔2〕聚合关系是指同一构造内一样位置上可以互相替换的语言成分之间的纵向关系。

即在语言的组合构造的*一个位置上能够互相替换的几个具有一样作用〔组合能力〕的单位符号之间的关系。

〔3〕不仅各级语言符号处在这两种根本的关系之中,构造符号的音位和意义同样也处于这两种关系之中。

4、语音四要素〔1〕音高:声音的上下,取决于发音体〔人的发音体是声带〕的振动频率。

音高在语言中的作用:构成声调和语调。

〔2〕音强:声音的强弱,取决于发音体振幅的大小。

对于语音而言,就是由发音时用力的大小决定的。

音强在语言中的作用:构成语调、轻重音。

〔3〕音长:声音的长短,取决于发音体振动持续时间的长短。

音长变化在许多语言中有区别意义的作用。

音长在语言中的作用:构成长短音、轻音。

如英语中的pool[pu:l]〔水池〕与pull[pul]〔拖、拉〕。

语言学概论期末复习重点

语言学概论期末复习重点一、语音学语音学是研究语音的学科,重点研究语音的产生、结构、运动和感知等方面。

在复习时,需要关注以下内容:1.国际音标的掌握,包括元音、辅音和音节等。

2.发音器官的构造和功能,比如舌头、喉头、声带等的作用。

3.音位与音素的区别,音位是语言中的最小语音单位,音素是语音的实际表现。

4.音变规律,比如浊音化、清音化、辅音的鼻化等。

二、语法学语法学是研究语言结构和规则的学科,包括句法学、词法学等分支。

在复习时,需要关注以下内容:1.语法的基本概念,包括句子、短语、词类等。

2.句法分析的方法,包括基于短语结构的上下位关系分析和基于依存关系的句法分析。

3.句子成分的分类与功能,包括主语、谓语、宾语、定语等。

4.语法关系的表示,包括句法树和依存关系图等。

三、语义学语义学是研究词义和意义的学科,包括词义学、语用学等分支。

在复习时,需要关注以下内容:1.语义的基本概念,包括词义、句义、语篇意义等。

2.词义的分类,包括编码词义和概念词义等。

3.语义关系的表示,包括隐性关系和显性关系等。

4.语义义原的掌握,比如用来描述词义的最小单位,可以用来解释多义、歧义、同义等现象。

四、语用学语用学是研究语言在特定情境中的使用和理解的学科,包括语用规则、言语行为等方面。

1.言语行为的分类,包括表示、指示、陈述、询问等。

2.言语行为的成分,包括言辞、语境、意图等。

3.语用规则的掌握,比如礼貌原则、言外之意等。

4.言语行为的实现方式,包括直接言语行为和间接言语行为等。

以上仅为语言学概论期末复习的一些重点内容,学生可以结合教材和课堂笔记进行更深入的学习和理解。

此外,复习时可以参考相关的案例和实例,加深对语言学原理的理解和应用。

语言学概论期末复习重点

语言学概论期末复习重点

语言学概论期末复习提纲导言部分一、语言的三大发源地:中国、印度、希腊-罗马五、根据研究对象的不同把语言学分为专语语言学和普通语言学。

五、1共时语言学:以同时的静态分析的方法、研究语言相对静止的状态。

描写分析语言在某一个时期、某一个阶段的状况,时从横的方面研究语言。

(如现代汉语、当代英语)五、2历时语言学:从历时的、动态的角度研究语言发展的历史,观察一种语言的各个结构要素在不同发展阶段的历史演变,是从纵的方面研究语言的历史。

(如汉语史)五、3专语语言学:又称具体语言学、个别语言学,是以一种或几种有联系的语言为研究对象,研究某一语言的结构。

五、4普通语言学:以人类一般语言为研究对象,研究人类语言的性质、结构特征、发展规律,是综合众多语言研究成果而建立起来的。

五、5现代语言学之父:瑞士索绪尔代表作《普通语言学教程》六、语言学流派:历史比较语言学,为后来的结构主义和描写语言学的产生和发展创造了有利条件,它在19世纪进入了系统的研究,是语言学走上独立发展道路的标志。

结构语言学的分支:布拉格学派、哥本哈根学派、美国描写语言学派。

美国描写语言学代表人物:布龙菲尔德代表作《语言论》第一章语言的功能第一节语言是人类最重要的交际工具一、语言是音义结合的符号系统,是人类最重要的交际工具和思维工具。

一、1语言的作用:语言是人类社会的交际工具,每个社会无论经济发达还是落后,都必须有属于自己的语言,都离布开语言这个交际工具。

语言是组成社会必不可少的一个因素,是人类与动物相区别的重要特征之一。

语言是联系社会成员的桥梁和纽带,没有语言,人类无法交际,人与人之间的联系就会中断,社会就会崩溃,不复存在。

语言又是思维工具,没有语言,人类就无法思维,也无法把思维表达出来。

(如普通话是汉民族用来交流思想传递感情的工具)一、2语言同社会的联系:语言与人类社会息息相关,人类社会以外无所谓语言,不同民族、不同地域都有不同语言。

同时社会的变化也给语言以极大的影响。

格,时,体,态,人称等。 25.词的概念意义:也叫理性意义,词汇意义的主体部分,是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。 26.词的色彩意义:指词汇主体意义之外,还包涵感情色彩,语体色彩,象征功能等其他与 概念义相关的意义。 27.隐喻:引申的两种形式之一,建立在两个意义所反映的现实现象的某种相似的基础上。 其相似可以是外形的相似,某种性质的相似等等,认知语言学的莱可夫和约翰逊把隐喻分为 实体,结构和空间三种。 28.派生意义:词义中由本义衍生出来的意义。 29.词的中心意义:多义词在语言的发展过程中,某一个意义可能会占据中心地位,语言学 中把这种意义叫做中心意义,是就多义词在某个时代的各个意义的关系说的。 30.转喻:引申的两种形式之一,其基础不是现实现象的相似,而是两类现实现象之间存在 着某种联系,这种联系在人们的心目中经常出现而固定化,因而可以用指称甲类现象的词来 指称乙类现象。 31.词的语义特征:某一小类词中所特有的能对其所在格式起制约作用的并足以区别于其他 小类词的语义要素。 32.语义场:具有相同的语义特征的词义所构成的集合叫做语义场,同一义场内的词义相互 有一定的制约关系,体现了词义的结构系统性。 33.构词法:同一个词在造句时因其句法位置的差异而发生的不同变化,语言学家把专门研 究词形变化现象和规则的学问称为词形学通常简称为构词法。 34.语义角色:句中名词和动词有不同的语义关系,语义学中称之为“语义角色”,是可以涵 盖许多句子动-名关系的抽象角色,如施事,受事,工具等。 35.蕴涵:通俗地说,句子真值的蕴涵关系就是,从一个句子的句义一定可以推导出另一个 句子的句义,反向推导却不成立。 36.预设:通俗地说,如果一个句子的肯定和否定两种形式都以另一句子的肯定式为前提, 则另一句子是该句的预设。 37.语境:语言出现的环境,包括三个方面:话语的物理语境,又叫做“言谈现场”;话语语 境;说话人和受话者的背景知识。 38.话题:一个句子中句义信息所关涉的那个实体是句子的“话题”。 39.说明:针对话题展开的句子其它部分是“说明”。 40.焦点:从信息的角度看,句子中的新信息是说话者所传递信息的重点所在,是说话者认 为受话者不知道因此希望受话者特别关注的部分。 41.会话合作原则:它是指交际双方为使会话合作顺利进行,以达到共同的沟通目的而必须 相互配合,共同遵循的某些准则。它具体包括:量的准则(指所提供的信息的量),质的准 则(所说的话力求真实),关系准则(所说的话是相关的),方式准则(清楚明白说出要说的 话)。 42.言语行为:人们说出的话是一种社会行为,本身也构成新的人类经验,与现实世界中的 其他人,物,现象,事件有着“行为-效力”的关联。这些是语言在另一层次上的意义。语 言行为可以分为三个环节,分别是言内行为,言外行为和言后行为。言语行为可以分为不同 的类型,如阐释,命令,请求,询问等等。 43.社会方言:根据社会因素而区分的社团与语言特点相关,因此这些社会社团又被称为不 同的“言语社团”。各个言语社团的语言是在全民语言基础上产生的各有自己特点的语言分 支或语言变体,这就是所谓社会方言。 44.地域方言:从同一语言分化出来的地域分支,如果处于不完全分化的社会条件和同一语

第一章(判)Language is only a means of communication.(F)Language has a form-meaning correspondence.(F)The function of language is to exchange information.(F)English is more difficult to learn than Chinese.(F)Black English is not standard and should be reformed.(F)The following are some fundamental views about language.判)Children learn their native language swiftly, efficiently and without instruction.(T)Language operates by rules.(T)All languages have three major components: a sound system语音系统, a system of lexicogrammar词汇语法 and a system of semantics语意学.(T)Everyone speaks a dialect.(T)Language slowly changes.(T)Speakers of all languages employ a range of styles and a set of jargons行话.(T) Languages are intimately related to the societies and individuals who use them.(T) Writing is derivative 来源的of speech.(T)Language is a means of verbal communication.分析)P3)it is instrumental in that communication by speaking or writing is a purposeful act. It is social and conventional in that language is a social semiotic 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.Design features of languageThe features that define our human languages can be called design features.(1)Arbitrariness任意性分析,以下三点瑞士Saussure(现代语言学之父): the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meaning . (定义)(1)Arbitrary relationship between the sound of a morpheme词素and its meaning, even with onomatopoeic拟声的 words:The dog barks bow wow in English but “汪汪汪” in Chinese.2)Arbitrariness at the syntactic句法的level: language is not arbitrary at the syntactic level.(判)By syntax that sentences are constructed to the grammar of arrangement3)Arbitrariness and convention. Conventionality 规约性T he link between a linguistic sign and its meaning is a matter of convention.Conventionality , as learners of English we are often told “this is an idiom”—meaning it is conventional to say things this way and you cannot change the expression any other way even if you think it does not look or sound logical.(2)Duality 双重性定义/单By duality is meant the property of having two levels of structures, such that units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level(3)Creativity 创造性定义/填Language is resourceful because of its duality and its recursiveness递归性. (4)Displacement 移位性定义Human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication.And one thing we can say for certain is that language evolves within specific historical, social and cultural contexts.单Functions of languageFor Jakobson, language is above all for communication.In his famous article, Linguistics and Poetics, he defined six primary factors of any speech event, namely:speaker, addressee, context, message, code元语言解码, contact.Six key elements of communication,namely:referential (to convey message and information),Poetic诗学 (to indulge in language for its own sake),emotive (to express attitudes, feelings and emotions),conative意动(to persuade and influence others through commands and requests), phatic寒暄(to establish communion with others)Metalingual funcation (to clear up intentions and meanings).Halliday proposes a theory of metafunctions of language, that is, language has ideational概念功能, interpersonal 人际功能and textual 语篇功能functions.填(1)Informative function最重要For most people the informative function is predominantly the major role of language.判The informative function is indeed a crucial function of language.(2)Interpersonal functionBy far the most important sociological use of language, by which people establish and maintain their status in a society.(3)Performative function施为功能The performative function of language is primarily to change the social status of persons, as in marriage ceremonies, the sentencing of criminals, the blessing ofchildren, the naming of a ship at a launching ceremony, and the cursing of enemies. For example, sui sui ping an(4)Emotive functionExpressive function(5)Phatic communion 寒暄功能书上的例句选择(6)Recreational function 娱乐功能the use of language for the sheer joy of using it, s uch as a baby's babbling or a chanter's chanting.(7)Metalingual function 源语言填空Our language can be used to talk about itself.What is Linguistics?The scientific study of human languageMain branches of linguistics 定义/填空/大题Phonetics 语音学Phonology 音系学Morphology 形态学Syntax 句法学Semantics 语义学Pragmatics 语用学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.We can approach it on various levels.At one level, speech is a matter of anatomy 解剖学and physiology生理学. We can study organs such as tongue and larynx and their functions in the production of speech.At another level, we can focus on the speech sounds produced by these organs by identifying and classifying the individual sounds. This is the domain of articulatory phonetics发音语言学.We can also investigate the properties of the sound waves —acoustic phonetics声学语言学.As speech is intended to be heard or perceived, it is therefore possible to focus on the way in which a listener analyses or processes a sound wave —auditory phonetics听觉语言学.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 is concerned with the internal organization of words. It studies the minimal units of meaning — morphemes and word-formation processes. Morphemes serve different purposes.Syntax is about principles of forming and understanding correct sentences. Semantics examines how meaning is encoded in a language.Pragmatics is the study of meaning in context. It deals with particular utterances in particular situations and is especially concerned with the various ways in which the many social contexts of language performance can influence interpretation. Psycholinguistics 心理语言学单Psycholinguistics investigates the interrelation of language and mind, for example, in processing and producing utterances and in language acquisition.❖SociolinguisticsSociolinguistics 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.Descriptive vs. prescriptive 描述❖Synchronic vs. diachronicA synchronic description takes a fixed instant (usually, but not necessarily, the present) as its point of observation. Most grammars are of this kind.Diachronic linguistics is the study of a language through the course of its history. The structure of Shakespeare English❖Langue & parole 区别Saussure distinguished the linguistic competence of the speaker and the actual phenomena or data of linguistics (utterances) as langue and parole.❖Competence and performanceThis fundamental distinction is discussed by Chomsky in his Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965).A language user's underlying knowledge about the system of rules is called his linguistic competence.Performance refers to the actual use of language in concrete situations第二章Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived.定义Three main areas:Articulatory phonetics: studies the production of speech sounds;Acoustic phonetics: studies the physical properties of speech sounds;Auditory phonetics: studies the perception of speech sounds.Phonology is the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of language.单Speech Organs 发音器官定义/填空=Vocal organs: parts of human body involved in the production of speechVocal tract, oral cavity口腔, nasal cavity鼻腔Vocal folds 声带apart: voiceless sounds [p, s, t]Close together: voiced sounds [b, z, d]Totally closed:glottal stop 声门塞音The IPAInternational Phonetic Alphabet国际音标表格The idea was first proposed by the Danish grammarian Jespersen in 1886.The first version of IPA was published in August 1888.The latest version was revised in 2005.Consonants and VowelsConsonants: produced by a closure接近 in the vocal tract, or by a narrowing which is so marked that air cannot escape without producing audible friction.Vowels: produced without such stricture so that air escapes in a relatively unimpeded way through mouth or nose.Distinction between C and V: Obstruction of airstream气流是否受阻单/填空The Sounds of EnglishRP vs GATeaching of English as a foreign language, it is referred to as received pronunciation(RP)In the USA, the widely accepted accent used by most educated speakers is often referred to as general American(GA)Consonants:[p] voiceless bilabial stop[b] voiced bilabial stop[s] voiceless alveolar fricative[z] voiced alveolar fricativeP36 The description of vowels:The height of tongue raising (high, mid, low)The position of the highest part of tongue (front, central, back)The length or tenseness of the vowel(tense, lax)Lip-rounding (rounded & unrounded)Vowels[iː] high front tense unrounded vowel[ʊ] high back lax rounded vowel[ə] mid central lax unrounded vowel[ɒ] low back lax rounded vowel[e] mid front lax unrounded vowelCoarticulation 协同发音定义P37When such simultaneous or overlapping articulations are involved, we call the process CoarticulationBroad transcriptionNarrow transcriptionAllophones 音位变体P40Peak /speakA process by which one sound takes on some or all the characteristics of a neighboring sound.P45Elsewhere condition 剩余条件规则定义The more specific rule applies first. 较为特殊的规则应用在先Distinctive featuresThe idea of Distinctive features was first developed by Roman Jacobson Suprasegmentals 超音段Suprasegmental features are those aspects of speech that involve more than single sound segments. The principal suprasegmentals are stress, tone and intonation.The syllable structure 音节理解P47A syllable must have a nucleus核心节 or peak节峰, which is often the task of a vowel第三章Morpheme and morphology定义Morpheme is the smallest unit of language in regard to the relationship between sounding and meaning, a unit that cannot be divided into further smaller units without destroying or drastically altering the meaning.The systematic study of morpheme is a breach of linguistics called morphology, which investigates the internal structures and rules of morphemes by which words are formed.Types of morphemesRoot affix stem(P53)Inflectional affix and derivational affix简答P54less productive grammatical function e.g. toys, walks, John’smore productive form new wordse.g. receive, reception, receptionistdo not change the word class of the wordmight change the word classdepend on other factors within a phrase or a sentencedepend on the meaning we want to expressin most cases suffixesprefixes/suffixesWord1)Stability2)Relative uninterruptibility相对联系3)A minimun free formClassification of words1)variable and invariable words可变化和非变化词2)Grammatical words and lexical words语法词和词汇词Grammatical/Function words:功能词conjunctions, prepositions, articles, pronouns.Lexical/Content words:实义词nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs.3) Closed-class words and open-class words封闭类词和开放类词Closed-class words: New members cannot normally be addede.g. pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, articles, auxiliaries.Open-class words: New members can be added; membership is infinite or unlimitede.g. nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.4)Word classWord formation(1) 看PPTWord formation(2): lexical changeInvention 发明法Blending 混成法举例/定义Blending is a process in which two words are blended by joining together the initial part of the first word and the final part of the second word, or by only joining the initial parts of the two words.smog烟雾(smoke+fog); boatel水上旅馆(boat+hotel); brunch早午餐(breakfast+lunch); telecastAbbreviation 缩写词(clipping 截断法)A new word is created by the following methodsCutting the final part: fanatic(fan), advertisement(ad)Cutting the initial part: aeroplane(plane), omnibus(bus)Cutting both the initial part and final parts accordingly: influenza(flu), refrigerator(fridge)Acronym 首字母缩略词Acronym is made up from the first letters of the name of an organization, which has a heavily modified headword.Eg: CIA, EEC, WTO, UNESCOThis process is also widely used in shortening extremely long words of word groups in science, technology, and other special fields.Eg: AIDS, SARS, Radar, VATBackformation 逆构词法定义An abnormal type of word-formation where a shorter word is derived by deleting an imagined affix from a longer form already in the language. Analogical creation 类推构词Class shift 词类转换Borrowing 借词PPTGreek: electricity, atomFrench: entail, mortgageSpanish: macho, grandeeLatin: adjacent, inferiorGerman: quartz, plunder第四章Syntax 句法学 P17Syntax is about principles of forming and understanding correct English sentences.或者Syntax is the study of the rules governing the ways different constituents are combined to form sentences in a language, or the study of the interrelationships between elements in sentence structures.Syntactic relations 句法关系单P73单Syntactic relations can be analysed into three kinds: positional relations 位置关系 relations of substitutability 替代关系 relations of co-occurrence 同现关系Positional relation 位置关系Positional relation, or WORD ORDER, refers to the sequential arrangement of words in a language.Relation of substitutability可替换性关系Grammatical construction语法结构P75Immediate constituents直接成分Constituent is a part of a larger linguistic unit.IC analysis 直接成分分析法Tree diagram要求会画树形图P77Endocentric and Exocentric Constructions向心结构和离心结构单Usually noun phrases, verb phrases and adjective phrases belong to endocentric typesExocentric :the basic sentence, the prepositional phrase, the predicate (verb + object) construction, the connective (be + complement) construction.Predicate 谓语除主语之外的其他所有成分,谓语通常表达主语的动作,过程和状态Predicate refers to a major constituent of sentence structure in a binary analysis in which all obligatory constituents other than the subject were considered together.Category 范畴单Number 数Gender 性Case 格Agreement 一致关系单This syntactic relationship may be anaphoric, as when a pronoun agrees with its antecedent,Recursiveness 递归性Recursiveness mainly means that a phrasal constituent can be embedded within another constituent having the same category.Recursiveness also includes several phenomena such as coordination and subordination, conjoining 连接and embedding嵌入, hypotactic and paratactic.判第五章Semantics 语义学The subject concerning the study of meaning 研究意义的学科Semantics is the study of the meaning of linguistic units, words and sentences in particular.Meanings of “meaning”Geoffrey Leech (1974, 1981). Semantics: The Study of MeaningSeven types of meaning:Conceptual meaning概念意义Associative meaning 联想意义Connotative meaning内含意义Social meaning社会意义Affective meaning情感意义Reflected meaning反射意义Collocative meaning搭配意义Thematic meaning主位意义The referential theory 指称论The theory of meaning which relates the meaning of a word to the thing it refers to, or stands for, is known as the referential theory.Words → Meaning: Words ‘name’ or ‘refer to’ things -- PlatonicAnd that something is abstract, which has no existence in the material world and can only be sensed in our minds. This abstract thing is usually called concept(概念).Sense relations PPT单Synonymy同义词buy/purchaseworld/ universebrotherly/ fraternalAntonymy 反义词1.Gradable antonyms 等级反义词hot Vs. cold2.
