第1章导言课后习题详解Check your understanding.State whether each of the following statements is True or False.(1) There is universal agreement about the origin of language.【答案】F(2) Pet dogs can speak human language.【答案】F(3) All human infants can speak some language.【答案】F(4) By creativity we mean the creative use of language as often practiced by poets. 【答案】F(5) With different cultures there will be different languages.【答案】F(6) Not all uses of language are meant to convey new information.【答案】TIn-Class Activities1. “Language”, like “yuyan”in Chinese, is used for different meanings in different contexts, as shown below:a. Chinese is a language.b. Linguistics is the systematic study of language.e. Both Jane and John like Shakespeare’s language.d. the language of beesAsk(1) What does “language” mean in each of the contexts?Key: a. a natural language; language in particular.b. a human-specific tool for communication; language in general.c. individual style of language use.d. a metaphorical way of referring to bees’ system of communication.(2) Is there any other context in which the use of the word means something else?Key: Yes. Example: language for the computer like C+.2. There is a well-known story in the Bible that reflects the importance of language in human society. According to the Old Testament, mankind spoke only one language until Nimrod began to build a tower that was to reach heaven. The Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand each other’s speech.”Ask(1) What if there were no language?Key: If there were no language, human beings could not communicate with each other, the experience of great persons and the process of history could not be documented. All in all, without language, the society can not move forward.(2) What if there were only one language the world over?Key: It would be much more convenient for human beings to communicate with each other; however, on the other hand, there could not be such a prosperous development of different cultures.(3) What can we learn from this Bible story?Key: Language is powerful as a tool of human communication.3. The course of linguistics is aimed at bringing our conscious attention to language, something with which we are very familiar and which, paradoxically, we find strange. For instance, language is said to be creative. Consider the following two statements:a. I learned a new word yesterday.b. I learned a new sentence yesterday.Ask(1) Do you think the two statements are equally probable, and if not, why not?Key: (a) is more likely than (b), since as the basic unit of meaning, the word can occur independently in language is finite in number, whereas as composed of words ,the sentence, though is almost infinite in number, is madepossible by our knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. We can always produce and understand sentences that we never come across before. In that sense, no sentence is absolutely new.(2) In what context do we make the second statement?Key: When we focus our attention on the meaning of a sentence or when we are concerned with the form of a sentence as found in a language class.4. The following English words are what we call onomatopoeic words, words that are characterized by a natural correspondence between their physical property (like sound or form) and their content or meaning:bang; bark; crash; hissAsk(1) Are there onomatopoeic words in Chinese?Key: Yes. e.g.“哗啦”、“扑通”、“喀嚓”.(2) Does the existence of onomatopoeic words overthrow the claim that language is arbitrary?Key: No. Onomatopoeic words account for a very limited percentage in the vocabulary of a language5. The arbitrary nature of language does not suggest that individuals can use a language arbitrarily. In fact, once the members of a community agree on the meaning of words, they are supposed to abide by the convention. Look at thefollowing cartoon:Ask(1) Can one really invent a language of one’s own?Key: No.(2) If not, why?Key: A language comes into being and is used by convention or agreement among its speakers.6. Before the middle of the eighteenth century, theories of the beginning of language were widely discussed. According to these early theories, man was created almost instantaneously and speech was provided to him as a divine gift at the moment of creation. So goes the story of the Garden of Eden. God created Adam and speech simultaneously. God spoke with Adam and Adam answered him. The language they used was Hebrew.Andreas Kemke, a Swedish philologist, asserted that in the garden of Eden, God spoke Swedish, Adam spoke Danish, and the serpent spoke French. Goropius Becanus, a Dutch theorist, asserted that the language of the Garden was Dutch.The Egyptians considered themselves the oldest civilization, and therefore the original language was Egyptian.On the assumption that babies, if left alone, will grow up speaking “the original”language, Psammetichus (6 B. C.) had two babies taken at random from an ordinary family and given to a servant to raise. He ordered the servant not to speak a word to the babies. When they were two years old, the children one day abruptly greeted the servant with “Bekos!” The servant immediately reported this to Psammetichus. The king checked with his counselors, who informed him that “bekos”meant “bread”in Phrygian. So in true “scientific”spirit, Psammetichus announced that Phrygian was the original language.Ask(1) Is there any basic flaw in this experiment?Key: The process is not strictly controlled. There may have been some coincidence. The sample size is too small for the experiment to be valid. (2) Do you think we really can answer the question about the beginning of language?Key: No, at least in the present condition where/when we cannot perform experiments on the human brain, the key organ of speech.7. Below are samples of speech from children at three different stages in their acquisition process.。

Ⅳ.Explain the following terms.1.Conversational implicature(川大2010研;武汉大学2004研;北京交通大学2007研)Key:Conversational implicature refers to a type of implied meaning,which is deduced on the basis of the conventional meaning of words together with the context,under the guidance of the CP and its maxims.For example,the implicature of He is a tiger could probably be he has some characteristics ofa tiger.2.Cooperative principle(北二外2010研;北京师范大学2003研)Key:Cooperative principle was proposed and formulated by Grice.It expressesthat in making a conversation,the participants must first of all be willing to cooperate;otherwise,it would not be possible for them to carry on the talk.It goes like this:“make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs,by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged”.This principle can be further specified as the four following maxims:Quantity,Quality,Relation;Manner.3.Violation of maxims(北交大2006研)Key:There are circumstances where speakers may not follow the maxims of the cooperative principle.For example,in conversation,a speaker may violate the maxim expectations by using an expression like“No comment”in response to a question.Although it is typically not“as informative as is required”in the context,it is naturally interpreted as communicating more than is said(i.e.the speaker knows the answer).This typical reaction to any apparent violation of the maxims is actually the key to the notion of conversational implicature.When we violate any of these maxims,our language becomes indirect.In this way,we can convey more than is literally said.For example,there is violation of the first maxim of Quantity,and sometimes the first Quantity maxim can be in conflict with the Quality maxim.4.Politeness。
