语言学第五章语义学考研真题
Chapter Five: SemanticsI. 名词解释1.（南开大学2001，中山大学2004年考题）hyponymy考点分析：考查“上下义关系”的定义Answer: Hyponymy refers to the sense relations between a more general, more inclusive words and a more specific word. The word that is more general in meaning is called the superordinate, and the more specific words are its hyponyms.2. (南开大学2000年考题) sense考点分析：“意义”的定义Answer: Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of a linguistic form. It is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form; it is abstract and decontextualized. It is the aspect of meaning dictionary compilers are interested in. for example, the word dog is given the definition ―a domestic canine animal, occurring in many breeds that show a great variety in size and form‖. This does not refer to any particular dog that exists in the real world, but applies to any animal that meets the features described in the definition. So this is the sense of the word dog.3. (华南理工大学2004年考题) reference考点分析“所指/参照”的定义Answer: Reference means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the nonlinguistic world of experience. If we say ―The dog is barking‖, we must be talking about a certain dog existent in the situation; the word dog refers to a dog known to both speaker and the hearer. This is the reference of the word dog in this particular situation.4.(华南理工大学204年考题) interlanguage考点分析“中介语”的定义Answer: The type of language constructed by second or foreign language learners who are still in the process of learning a language is often referred to as interlanguage. As the name suggests, interlanguage is a language system between the target language and the learner’s native language. It is imperfect compared with the target language, but it is not mere translation from the learner’s native language.5.(中山大学2003年考题)error analysis考点分析：“错误分析”的定义Answer: Error analysis is the study and analysis of error and is confined to the language learner. Here, ―error‖ refers generally to the learner’s grammatical or pragmatic misuse or misunderstanding of the target language.II. 判断正误1.（大连外国语学院2001年考题）―Kids‖and ―children‖are synonyms despite their stylistic difference考点分析：同义关系的辨别Answer: T2. (大连外国语学院2002年考题) In the following pair of sentences, Sentence (a) presupposes Sentence (b)（a）John managed to finish in time（b）John tried to finish in time.考点分析：判断句子之间有何种意义关系Answer: T3. (东南大学2003年考题)If a word has sense, it must have reference.考点分析：考查sense 和reference之间的对应关系.(Note: Every word has a sense, but not every word has a reference.)Answer: F4. (上海外国语大学2000年考题) Regardless of their ethnic and cultural backgrounds, children of all colors and societies follow roughly the same route/order of language development, though they may differ in the rate of learning.考点分析：语言习得过程的普遍特点Answer: T5. (吉林大学2000年考题)Overgeneralization is a common error made by an early foreign language learner.考点分析：考查“语法规则过度概括”在什么情况下产生。

三、分析题1.什么是语言的意义？语言的意义是指语言表达所传递的信息内容。
它涉及词汇意义、句子意义和话语意义等多个层次。
9第五章 语言学概论中的语用
在具体句子中，话题与主语常常落在同一个句子成分 上，但有时也不一致。
话题与主语的区分
• 主语与谓语动词有直接密切的联系，由担任施事、受事等中心语 义角色的成分承当；
• 话题可以由担任外围语义角色的成分（时间、方所等）承担，还 可以与动词完全没有关系。
1.日常生活中的言内意外可以推导出的信息不必在话语中出 现。
• a.虎妞神秘兮兮地指着她的肚子对祥子说：“我有啦！”
• • （结合语境推导）
• b.侍平：你今后少跟少东家来往。
四凤：妈，我已是他的人啦！
•
（结合汉文化传统道德推导）
2.文学作品中的言内意外
• 在文学创作和欣赏中，“言外之意”起着举足轻重的作用。由于用 语言表达思想的时候可以“言不尽意”，留下一些意思上的空白让 听话人自己去补充、理解，同样的意思，用不同的说法，会收到 不同的效果。
• 这段篇章可以采用代词指代。
• 那个学生模样的年轻人1从桌上的辣油罐里又挖了厚厚 一勺辣子2到面汤3里，01搅拌开02，01埋头吹了吹03， 喝了一大口03，然后01连忙张大嘴巴，01拼命地哈气。 • 省略
• 句子结构中必不可少的成分：主语、宾语，如果缺失 就会促使受话者从前文中寻找与之相关联的信息，一 旦找到话语就衔接起来了。
• 说话者希望受话者特别关注的新信息，也即句子的焦点，一定会用一 些可以感知的手段标示出来。在会话中，焦点通过语调重音标示出来。 如例（2），重音可以落在“张三”、或“李四”或“借”或“这辆” 上，强调不同的内容。焦点还可以用句法形式表现出来，如例（1）用 “连…都”句式强调“小孩”。
四、日常生活和文学作品中的言内意外

Chapter 5 SemanticsⅠ. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False:1. Dialectal（方言的）synonyms（同义关系）can often be found in different regional dialects such as British English and American English but cannot be found within the variety itself, for example, within British English or American English. F2. Sense is concerned with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience, while the reference deals with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. F3. Linguistic forms having the same sense may have different references in different situations. T4. In semantics, meaning of language is considered as the intrinsic and inherent relation to the physical world of experience. F5. Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. T6. Behaviourists attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer. T7. The meaning of a sentence is the sum total of the meanings of all its components. F8. Most languages have sets of lexical items similar in meaning but ranked differently according to their degree of formality. T9. “It is hot.” is a no-place predication because it contains no argument. T10. In grammatical analysis, the sentence is taken to be the basic unit, but in semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is predication, which is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence. T Ⅱ. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:11. Semantics can be defined as the study of meaning.12. The conceptualist view holds that there is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to.13. 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.14. Words that are close in meaning are called synonyms.15. When two words are identical in sound, but different in spelling and meaning, they are called homophones（同音/形异义词）.16. Relational opposites are pairs of words that exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the two items.17. Componential（指数）analysis is based upon the belief that the meaning of a word can be divided into meaning components.18. Whether a sentence is semantically meaningful is governed by rules called selectional restrictions, which are constraints on what lexical items can go with what others.19. An argument is a logical participant in a predication, largely identical with the nominal element(s) in a sentence.20. According to the naming theory of meaning, the words in a lan-guage are taken to be labels of the objects they stand for.Ⅲ. There are four choices following each statement. Mark the choice that can best completethe statement:21. The naming theory is advanced by ___A_____.A.PlatoB.BloomfieldC. Geoffrey LeechD. Firth22. “We shall know a word by the company it keeps.” This statement represents __B_____.A. the conceptualist view（概念）B. contexutalismC. the naming theoryD. behaviourism23.

It would be impossible to give an adequate description of meaning if the context of language4. What essentially distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning the context of use is considered.5. The major difference between a sentence and an utterance is that a sentence is not uttered while an utterance is.6. The meaning of a sentence is abstract, but context-dependent.7. The meaning of an utterance is decontexualized, therefore stable.8. Utterances always take the form of complete sentences9. Speech act theory was originated with the British philosopher John Searle.10. Speech act theory started in the late 50’s of the 20th century.11. Austin made the distinction between a constative and a performative.12. Perlocutionary act is the act of expressing the speaker’s intention.Ⅱ.

1. 1.What is the connotative meaning advanced by Leech? Discuss it in detail with
examples.
The word “meaning”itself has different meanings. This is a big difficulty in the study of meaning. In their book The Meaning of Meaning in 1923 , C. K. Ogden and I . A. Richards presented a “ representative list of the main definitions which reputable students of meaning have favored”. There are 16 major categories of them, with sub-categories all together, numbering 22.
Leech recognized 7 types of meaning in his Semantics, first published in 1974, as follows:
a)Conceptual meaning: It is concerned with the relationship between a word and the
thing it denotes, or refers to. In this sense , conceptual meaning overlaps to a large
extent with the notion of REFERENCE. But Leech also uses “sense”as a briefer
term for his conceptual meaning. As a result, Leech’s conceptual meaning has two
sides: sense and reference.
b)Connotative meaning: connotative meaning means what is communicated by virtue
of what language refers to, over and above its purely conceptual content.
c)Social meaning d) Affective meaning e) Reflected meaning f) Collocative
meaning g) Thematic meaning
2. 1. What is the Cooperative Principle and its four maxims. How does the flouting of maxims
give rise to conversational implicature? (书P101)
3. Make a critical comment on Leech’s politeness principle?
4. In the study of meaning, why should we consider context?。
