2.2. Language teaching research

2.2.1 The Characteristic features of langauge teaching research

1) Language teaching research is an independent discipline.

2) Language teaching research is an interdisciplihary science.

3) Language teaching research is an applied science.

4) Language teaching research is an empirical science.

2.2.2 The Issues of language teaching research

a. Comparative study: of native speakers and non-native speakers, of target language and native language, of L2 learning of children and adults.

b. learning and teaching study: learning & acquisition, L2 teaching,

c. Learner study: attitudes & motivation, learning strategies & style,

d. Language study: communicative aspects, structure of convensation, code-switching, linguistic aspects of computer-assisted learning

2.2.3 possible fields of language teaching research

1)The models of linguistic theory and linguistic description

2)The models of language learning

3)The application of the theoretical models

The four areas of LT

--syllabus design, compilation of teaching material, classroom

teaching, testing/evaluation

4)Classroom teaching practice

2.2.4 Some essential factors affecting L2 learning

3. Language

3.1 Definition of language

It is really just as difficult to define language as it is to define man.

人:是一切社会关系的总和;

是唯一能把动物养成宠物和煮成食物的动物;

是一种会笑的动物;

"Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication" Wardhaugh in his "Introduction to Linguistics" (1972).语言是用于人类交际的、任意的、有声的符号系统

3.2 Design Features of Language

1) Arbitrariness---There is no logical (intrinsic or direct) connection between the sound/sign and meaning, between the word and its object, between the grammar and the meaning it carries;

or the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural relationship to their meaning.

A building we live in with our family

--house in English, maison in French, dom in Russion, casa in Spanish, fangzi in Chinese

However, language is not entirely arbitrary; there are cases where there seems to be some association between sounds and meaning, e.g.

Onomatopoetic words: bang,

Some compound words: tractor driver shoe-maker

The other side of the coin of arbitrariness is conventionality. The link between linguistic sign and its meaning is a matter of convention.

A pair of trousers---- A pair of shirts

Go shopping *go buying go hunting

冬瓜(white gourd) (夏天吃的)

北戴河is not a river 中南海is not a sea.

食堂餐厅 *餐堂 *食厅

外公—外婆*外母老公—老婆*老母

英国的语言---- 英文英语

中国的语言----中文(*中语)汉语

昨天昨晚 *昨早 *昨月 *昨年

去年 *去天 *去晚 *去月

明天明年 *明月 *明周

今天今年 *今月

二百五----傻里傻气的人

生前好友已婚夫妇未婚妻

七嘴八舌----七张嘴里如果长出把条舌头,其中必有一人为“怪胎”

四季如春----夏春秋三季温暖如春,为比喻。“春季如春”则文理不通。

三长两短、七上八下三下五除二

2) Duality

Two levels:

Lower level---- a limit set of sounds, meaningless

Higher level----units of meaning coming from the combination of the units of lower level

Phoneme—morpheme—words—phrase—clause—sentence

3) Productivity--The users of a language can utilize a limited linguistic

rules to produce or understand infinite meaningful linguistic forms, including those they have never heard before.

The man that the girl that my wife taught married published many poems. (和我妻子教的那个女孩结婚的那个男人发表了许多诗)

他一边脱衣服,一边穿裤子。(小学生的造句练习)

4) Displacement---Language can be used to tallk about what happened in the past, what is happening at present, or what will happen in the future. Also we can use language to refer to things no matter how far away they are or whether they are real or imagined.

5) Cultural Transmission----A language system is not genetically transmitted, but culturally transmitted. That is, a language system is passed on from

one generation to another by teaching and learning rather than by instict.

Prescriptive: it aims lay down rules for "correct" behavior. Modern linguistics is descriptive; its investigations are based on authentic, and mainly spoken data. Traditional grammar is prescriptive; it is based on "high" written language Synchronic vs. diachronic 共时性与历史性 The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study The description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study In modern linguistics, synchronic study seems to enjoy priority over diachronic study. Speech and writing 口头语与书面语 Speech enjoys priority over writing in modern linguistics study for the following reasons: (1) speech precedes writing in terms of evolution (2) a large amount of communication is carried out in speech tan in writing (3) speech is the form in which infants acquire their native language Language and parole 语言与言语 Language refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community Parole refers to the realization of language in actual use Competence and performance 能力与运用 Chomsky defines competence as the ideal users' knowledge of the rules of his language Performance: the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication What is language 什么是语言 Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication Characteristics of language: 语言的特性 Language is a rule-governed system Language is basically vocal Language is arbitrary (the fact different languages have different words for the same

英语语言学概论--整理

Chapter 1 Language语言 1.Design feature (识别特征) refers to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication. 2.Productivity(能产性) refers to the ability that people have in making and comprehending indefinitely large quantities of sentences in their native language. 3.arbitrariness (任意性) Arbitrariness refers to the phenomenon that there is no motivated relationship between a linguistic form and its meaning. 4.symbol (符号) Symbol refers to something such as an object, word, or sound that represents something else by association or convention. 5.discreteness (离散性) Discreteness refers to the phenomenon that the sounds in a language are meaningfully distinct. 6.displacement (不受时空限制的特性) Displacement refers to the fact that human language can be used to talk about things that are not in the immediate situations of its users. 7.duality of structure (结构二重性) The organization of language into two levels, one of sounds, the other of meaning, is known as duality of structure. 8.culture transmission (文化传播) Culture transmission refers to the fact that language is passed on from one generation to the next through teaching and learning, rather than by inheritance. 9.interchangeability (互换性) Interchangeability means that any human being can be both a producer and a receiver of messages. 1.★What is language? Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. This definition has captured the main features of language. First, language is a system. Second, language is arbitrary in the sense. The third feature of language is symbolic nature. 2.★What are the design features of language? Language has seven design features as following: 1) Productivity. 2) Discreteness. 3) Displacement 4) Arbitrariness. 5) Cultural transmission 6) Duality of structure. 7) Interchangeability. 3.Why do we say language is a system? Because elements of language are combined according to rules, and every language contains a set of rules. By system, the recurring patterns or arrangements or the particular ways or designs in which a language operates. And the sounds, the words and the sentences are used in fixed patterns that speaker of a language can understand each other. 4.★ (Function of language.) According to Halliday, what are the initial functions of children’s language? And what are the three functional components of adult language? I.Halliday uses the following terms to refer to the initial functions of children’s language: 1) Instrumental function. 工具功能 2) Regulatory function. 调节功能 3) Representational function. 表现功能 4) Interactional function. 互动功能 5) Personal function. 自指性功能 6) Heuristic function. 启发功能[osbQtq`kf`h] 7) Imaginative function. 想象功能 II.Adult language has three functional components as following: 1) Interpersonal components. 人际 2) Ideational components.概念 3) Textual components.语篇
