语言学概论复习要点

语言学概论复习要点

语言学概论复习要点语言学概论复习提要一、语言学的对象和任务1.语言学的对象和任务(1)研究对象:语言。

(2)主要任务:研究语言的本质、结构和规律,使对语言的认识上升到理性阶段。

2.语言学简史(1)语文学阶段。

语言学三大发源地:古代中国、古代印度和古代希腊。

公元前4世纪,印度学者波尼尼的《梵语语法》或称《波尼尼语法》。

古希腊学者亚里士塔尔库斯的《希腊语法》。

早在公元前4世纪,被中国古代人们尊崇为十三经之一的《尔雅》就已初具规模,它是世界上第一部物类与义类的词典,比西方早了两千多年。

到东汉时期又出现了世界第一部字典《说文解字》,比西方的字典早了一千五、六百年。

古代中国的语文学通称小学,包括文字学、训诂学和音韵学,是中国古代语言学研究成就的集中体现。

语文学与现代语言学的区别:第一,从研究对象看,古代语言学只重视书面语言,把古代书面语作为语言的研究对象,而对当时社会普遍使用的口语不予重视。

第二,从研究任务看,古代语言学并不把描写语言的规律作为主要任务,只重视为流传下来的政治、哲学、宗教、历史、文学等方面的经典作注解,目的是为了让人们能够读通、读懂古代的经典。

换言之,它还没有发展成为一门独立的学科,而只是经学的附庸。

(2)历史比较语言学阶段。

19世纪初,西方语言学者开始运用历史比较法研究语言本身,产生了历史比较语言学。

在初创阶段,英国的威廉·琼斯最先发现希腊语和拉丁语、梵语有惊人的相似处,于是大胆地提出了“印欧语假设”,成为历史比较语言学的先驱。

德国的施列格尔也看到梵语和欧洲许多语言有着不可否认的共同点,第一个提出“比较语法”,是历史比较语言学的草创者。

历史比较语言学摆脱了过去从属经学的附庸地位,标志着语言学已经成为一门真正独立的学科。

历史比较语言学由于涉及多种语言,这为普通语言学的创立奠定了基础。

19世纪中叶,从理论上研究人类语言一般规律的普通语言学诞生。

奠基人是德国的洪堡特和瑞士的索绪尔。

洪堡特被公认为普通语言学的第一个奠基者,他的许多语言学观点被后代学者不断继承和发展。

语言学纲要期末复习资料

语言学纲要重点第一章语言的功能一、语言的社会功能(给出句子,判断属于哪一个?)P71. 语言的信息传递功能信息传递功能是语言的最基本的社会功能。

这一功能体现在语言上就是内容的表达。

信息的传递是社会中人与人的基本交流方式。

通过星系的交流,人们才可以在社会中彼此分享各自的经验感知,更好地分工协作。

人类还借助语言之外的其他形式传递信息,它们是文字,旗语,信号灯,电报代码,数学符号,化学公式等等。

语言是人类社会信息传递第一性的、最基本的手段,是最重要的交际工具。

2. 语言的人际互动功能语言的社会功能的另一个重要方面是建立或保持某种社会关联,这就是语言的人际互动功能。

互动包括两个方面:一个是说话者在话语中表达自己的情感、态度、意图,另一方面这些又对受话者施加了影响,得到相应的语言或行动上的反馈,从而达到某种实际效果。

第二章语言是符号系统一、语言与符号(符号的性质与特征、征候)P221.语言是符号系统,这是语言本身的性质和特点。

2.符号:就是用甲事物简单地来代表乙事物。

符号都由形式和意义两个方面组成,如:形式:红灯红绿灯(符号)意义:禁止通行3.征候:征候是事物本身的特征,它传递的某种信息,可以通过它自身的物质属性来判断。

如:在山里赶路,看到远处炊烟袅袅升起,就可以知道那里有可以邪教或者投宿的人家。

二、语言符号的层级系统(哪几层,哪几级?)P28语言的符号不是互不相干的一盘散沙,而是有组织、有条理的系统。

语言的系统是什么样的?这个问题很复杂,语言学家在不断地探索。

多数学者的看法可以概括成:语言是一种分层装置,这种装置靠组合和替换来运转。

这里先讲语言的分层情况。

语言的底层是一套音位,一种语言的音位的数目虽然只有几十个,却能构成数目众多的组合。

这些组合为语言符号准备了形式的部分。

语言的上层是音义结合的符号和符号的序列,这一层又分为若干级。

音系层:音位(几十个)→音节→音步→…语调段语法层:语素(几千个)→词→词组/短语→小句→句子三、组合关系和聚合关系(理解)P30语言链条上由符号组成的每一个环节都可以卸下来,换上另一个环节,组成新的链条。

语言学纲要复习资料语言学纲要期末复习资料导言部分1.文字、音韵、训诂之学是中国“小学”的主要研究内容。

2.20世纪初,瑞士语言学家索绪尔在《普通语言学教程》中提出,存在于语言社团中每个人头脑中的共同的语言形式结构是语言学研究的真正对象,是现代语言学的标志著作。

3.结构主义语言学:20世纪30至50年代,在欧美形成的语言学流派。

布龙菲尔德的《语言论》是该派的奠基之作。

4.生成语言学:创始人是美国语言学家诺姆-乔姆斯基,《句法结构》的出版标志着转换生成语言学的诞生。

其研究对象是语言能力而不是语言行为。

是欧美语言学理论中最有影响的一种。

5.共时和历时语言学共时:研究相对静止的状态——横向研究历时:探索语言在不同阶段的演变——纵向研究同:都是研究语言的时角,二者是对立统一的,共时体现历时,历时是共时的不同表现。

异:语言的不同时期的先后变化属于历时问题,语言在同一时期的不同变化属于共时问题。

6.历史比较语言学:对不同语言或同种语言的不同发展阶段做比较研究,拟构语言的原始基础形式,确定语言间的亲缘关系,以展现语言的发展变化规律。

第一章语言的功能1.语言是最重要的信息传递工具,语言是第一性,最基本的手段,文字是第二性,辅助性的,文字是对语言的再编码系统。

2.人的大脑分为左右半球,语言功能是由左半球控制的。

3.运用语言进行传递信息,大致分为五个部分编码、发出、传递、接受、译码阶段。

4.思维方式的差异更多地体现在不同语言在表达思想时语法方面的特点。

5.思维能力的普遍性和思维方式的特殊性,与语言的性质是密切相关的。

6.语言和言语的区分是索绪尔提出的,言语不稳定,语言是稳定的。

7.语言是符号系统,是最重要最典型的符号,符号的形式和意义是约定,无必然联系。

征候是事物本身的特征,它传递的某种信息,可以通过它自身的物质属性来推断。

(远处的炊烟、病人的脉象、气色、舌苔、口气,罪犯的指纹,脚印)8.音————义————心理现实————客观现实语言符号指称反映客观现实:是四维时空中外在于人的所有存在,当下和历史上所有的人物、事物、现象以及他们的相互关系及其变化。

《语⾔学概论》复习资料详细语⾔学概论第⼀章语⾔与语⾔学第⼀节绪论(语⾔学及其地位)语⾔学,顾名思义,是研究语⾔的科学。

语⾔是语⾔学的研究对象,所以,我们说,语⾔学是以语⾔作为专门研究对象的⼀门社会科学。

语⾔和⾔语的区分德·索绪尔(瑞⼠):20世纪最著名、影响最远的语⾔学家之⼀。

他的学说被誉为“哥⽩尼式的⾰命”,导致了欧美结构主义语⾔学派的诞⽣和发展,并使语⾔学成为⼀门真正独⽴的、⼗分专门的科学。

现代语⾔学的历史,正是从他这⾥开始的。

索绪尔被称为“现代语⾔学之⽗”;索绪尔在《普通语⾔学教程》中对语⾔和⾔语的区分作了系统的理论阐述。

其⽬的是为了纯化语⾔研究对象。

“语⾔”是说话所使⽤的⼀套符号系统;“⾔语”指说出来的话。

(语⾔和⾔语的关系:①抽象和具体的统⼀。

②⼀般和个别的统⼀。

③客观和主观的统⼀。

④稳定性和灵活性的统⼀。

)两者之间的联系(索绪尔称为的“第⼀个⼗字路⼝”)第⼀,没有⾔语就没有语⾔。

⾔语是第⼀性的,语⾔是第⼆性的。

第⼆,语⾔来源于⾔语⼜反作⽤于⾔语,起着决定性的规范作⽤。

区分的意义⾸先,它使语⾔的研究精确了范围;其次,对语⾔学习具有指导意义。

再则,知道了这⼀道理,就会对⽇常⽣活中许多含混的概念重新建⽴较为清醒的认识。

语⾔的存在形式:⽂字产⽣以前,语⾔只有⼀种存在形式—⼝语。

⽂字产⽣以后,⼈们⽤⽂字把语⾔记录下来,产⽣了书⾯语,在书⾯语的基础上⼜产⽣了⽂学语⾔。

⼝语就是⼈们通过发⾳器官发出声⾳以表达意义的⾔语体系,这是语⾔的原始存在形式。

对于⼈类来说,在⽂字产⽣以前⼈们使⽤语⾔进⾏交际只使⽤⼝头形式。

书⾯语就是长期使⽤⽂字记录⼝语后所形成的书⾯⾔语体系。

⼝语和书⾯语的联系:(1)⼝语是书⾯语产⽣的基础。

(2)书⾯语是⼝语的加⼯和创造。

⼝语和书⾯语的区别:(1)存现形式不⼀样,表现风格不同。

(2)物质基础不⼀样,发展速度不同。

⾔语的形式:外部⾔语:⼈们可以听到或看到的话语。

内部⾔语:⼈们听不到的内⼼独⽩(⽤看不见的肌⾁说话)两种形式都是运⽤语⾔的过程和结果。

第一章语言和语言学1.语言与各个领域的社会活动都有着密切的联系,在这种情况下,语言学必须明确自己的研究对象,才能成为一门现代意义上的科学。

2.任何符号,包括语言符号都是形式和意义的统一体。

3.什么是语言的客观存在形式语言的客观存在形式首先表示为有声的口头语言即口语,而当出现了文字以后,又表现为有形的书面语言即书面语。

4.语言符号的强制性正因为语言符号是社会约定俗成的,因此在同一社会,同一时代,对使用同一种语言的每一个社会成员来说是强制性的,是不能任意改变的,因为如果个人可以任意改变,那就互相听不懂了,也就从根本上丧失了交际工具的作用。

5.语言与言语的区别语言是言语活动中同一社会群体共同掌握的、有规律可循而又成系统的那一部分;而含有个人要素或个人杂质的说话行为和说出来的话只能属于言语。

第二章语音1.声音的四要素:音高,音强,音长,音质2.振幅:也就是发音体振动时离开平衡位置的最大偏移距离。

3.频率:发音体在每一秒钟内振动的次数。

4.音高:就是声音的高低。

它是由频率的大小决定的。

频率同音高成正比。

频率越大,声音越高;频率越小,声音越低。

5.音强:就是声音的强弱。

它是由振幅的大小决定的。

振幅同音强成正比,振幅的大小又决定于使发音体振动外力的大小。

外力大,振幅就大,声音就强;外力小,振幅就小,声音就弱。

6.音长:就是声音的长短。

它是由发音体振动的持续时间决定的。

发音体振动的持续时间长,声音就长;发音体振动的时间短,声音就短。

7.基音:振动中有一个频率最低的振动,由它发出的声音叫做“基音”。

其他振动发出的声音叫做“陪音”。

8.乐音:当基音的频率的陪音的频率之间存在着整数倍的比例关系时,会形成一种复杂而有规则的,具有周期性重复特征的声波形式,这种声音叫做乐音。

9.噪音:如果基音的频率和陪音的频率之间不存在整倍数的比例关系,就会形成一种杂乱无章的不规则的声波形式,这种声音叫做噪音。

10.语音的生理基础:语音是由人的发音器官协同动作而产生的,人的发音及其运动是“语音的生理基础”,决定着语音的生理特征。

第一章语言和语言学第一节认识人类的语言一、语言的性质和类型1.只有人类才有语言【领会】语言是人类所独有的。

人类的语言跟动物的“语言”相比较,有几个显著和重要的特点:一是“内容更多”。

多种场合、多种方式、多种内容。

二是“用处更大”。

主要:交际功能。

其它:标志、记录、思维、认知,等等。

三是“能够创造”。

具有离散性,能用有限的声音和意义按照一定规则组配成无限的话语。

2.语言和民族、国家的关系【领会】大多数情况:一个民族使用一种语言。

但不能把“相互能够听懂”作为确定语言的标准,并进一步作为确定民族和国家的标准。

这种理解只适合于欧洲的“新兴民族国家”,对一个历史悠久、幅员辽阔的国家是不适应的。

尽管“语言”是最直观、最容易识别的民族标志,但事实上还不是最可靠的标志。

从目前了解到的情况来看,“共同的历史文化传统和由此产生的民族认同感”也许是维系一个民族的最根本的因素,因而也是确定一个民族的最根本的标准。

3.语言的谱系分类和语言的形态分类【领会】语言的谱系分类就是从“历时”演变角度划分不同的语言,是根据各种语言在语音、语汇、语法等方面是否有共同来源和相似性的大小对语言进行的分类。

也叫“语言的亲属关系分类”。

从语言的“共时”角度来划分不同的语言,可以建立“语言的形态分类”,也叫“语言的结构类型分类”。

可分为“形态语”和“孤立语”,或者分成“综合性语言”和“分析性语言”。

4.语系、语族;屈折语、孤立语;综合性语言、分析性语言【识记】谱系分类层级:语系、语族、(语支)、语言、方言、次方言(土语)。

语系是根据语言有无历史同源关系划分出来的语言类别,是语言谱系中最大的类。

语系的下一级叫作“语族”,同一语族的语言不但有相同的来源,相似点也更多。

形态语(综合性语言)指通过词的形态变化来体现各种结构意义的语言。

包括“屈折语、黏着语”等小类。

如俄语、维吾尔语。

孤立语(分析性语言)指没有形态变化的语言。

如汉语。

屈折语主要是句子中某些词本身有丰富的形态变化,是形态语中的一个小类。

导言1、语言学的三大发源地P1中国、印度、希腊—罗马是语言学的三大发源地。

2、传统语文学的构成部分P1文字、音韵。

训诂是我国传统语文学的构成部分,统称“小学”。

3、语言的构造P2语音、词汇和语义、语法三个部分4、语言交际的五个阶段P3编码——发送——传递——接收——编码5、语言学的概念以语言为研究对象的科学,研究探索语言的本质、结构和发展规律。

第一章语言的社会功能1、语言与言语的关系?言语是利用语言进行交际的行为和结果。

言语是个人的,语言是社会的;言语是具体的,语言是抽象的;言语是有阶级性的,语言是全民性的。

语言制约着言语,指导人们进行言语实践;语言存在于言语之中,存在于人们的交际过程之中,存在于言语行为和言语作品之中。

语言不能够脱离言语,言语也不能脱离语言,它们是不可分离的。

语言(language)和言语(parole)的区别是现代语言学奠基人索绪尔在《普通语言学教程》中提出的重要概念。

其区别表现在:第一,从运用角度来说,语言是社会共有的交际工具,相对稳定,语言是不自由的,有规则的,处于相对静止状态,语言是一个封闭的系统;言语是对语言的具体运用和由此产生的言语作品,是自由结合的,处于运用状态,言语始终是开放的。

第二,从表现形式看,语言是个音义结合的符号系统,人们要遵照这个系统的规则来使用它,是社会的,有共同性,也就是说语言属于全体社会成员;言语是人们运用语言的过程和结果,除了具有社会的因素外,还具有个人的因素,而且还要受某种特定语境的影响,从某种程度上来说,言语属于讲话者个人。

第三,语言的各个部分是有限的,抽象的;但言语是无限的,具体的。

联系表现在:第一,从历史上看,言语事实在先,规则在后,因此言语是第一性的,语言是第二性的。

哪里有言语,哪里就有语言;哪里没有言语,哪里就没有语言。

语言是存在于言语之中的,语言是从言语中抽象概括出来的模式,抽象的语言是不存在的,语言都是以言语的形式存在着的。

第二,语言来源于言语,又反作用于言语。

Polysemy is the same as homonymy.( )23. Homophones are words which are identical in sound.( )24. The superordinate term is more general in meaning than its hyponyms.( )25. In a pair of gradable antonyms, the denial of one member of the pair implies the assertion of the other.( )26. In componential analysis, the plus sign is used to indicate that a certain semantic feature is present.( )27. The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality.( )28. All the grammatically well-formed sentences are semantically well-formed.( )29. A predicate is something said about an argument.( )30. There is only one argument in the sentence "Kids like apples".B.

Gradually linguists found that it would be impossible to give an adequate description of meaning if the context of language use was left unconsidered.( ) 24. What essentially distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning the context of use is considered.( ) 25.
