Parole: Parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use; parole is the concrete use of the conventions and the application of the rules; parole varies from person to person, and from situation to situation.V. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give examples for illustration if necessary:61. Language is generally defined as a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Explain it in detail.First of all, language is a system, because elements of language are combined according to rules. Secondly, language is arbitrary because there is no intrinsic connection between form and meaning, or between the sign and what it stands for. Different languages have different words for the same object in the world. This fact is a good illustration of the arbitrary nature of language. This also explains the symbolic nature of language: words are just symbols; they are associated with objects, actions, ideas, etc. by convention . Thirdly, language is vocal because the primary medium is sound for all languages, no matter how well - developed their writing systems are.The term "human" in the definition indicates that language is possessed by human beings only and is very different from the communication systems of other living creatures. The term "communication" means that language makes it possible for its users to talk to each other and fulfill their communicative needs.62. What are the design features of human language? Illustrate them with examples.1) ArbitrarinessAs mentioned earlier, the arbitrary property of language means that there is no logical connection between meanings and sounds. For instance, there is no necessary relationship between the word elephant and the animal it symbolizes. In addition, different sounds are used to refer to the same object in different languages, and even within the same language, the same sound does not refer to the same thing. However, language is not entirely arbitrary. There are words which are created in the imitation of sounds by sounds, such as crash, bang in English. Besides, some compound words are also not entirely arbitrary. But the non-arbitrary words are quite limited in number. The arbitrary nature of language makes it possible for language to have an unlimited source of expressions.2) ProductivityLanguage is productive or creative in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. This is why they can produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences, including sentences that they have never said or heard before. They can send messages which no one else has ever sent before.Productivity is unique to human language. Most animal communication systems appear to be highly restricted with respect to the number of different signals that their users can send and receive.3) DualityThe duality nature of language means that language is a system, which consists of two sets of structure, or two levels, one of sounds and the other of meanings. At the lower or the basic level, there is the structure of sounds, which are meaningless, discrete, individual sounds. But the sounds of language can be combined according to rules into units of meaning such as morphemes and words, which, at the higher level, can be arranged into sentences. This duality of structure or double articulation of language enables its users to talk about anything within their knowledge. No animal communication system has duality or even comes near to possessing it.4) DisplacementDisplacement means that language can be used to refer to things which are present or not present, real or imagined matters in the past, present, or future, or in far-away places. In other words, language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker. Animal calls are mainly uttered in response to immediate changes of situation.5) Cultural transmissionHuman beings were born with the ability to acquire language, but the details of any language are not genetically transmitted or passed down by instinct. They have to be taught and learned, but animal call systems are genetically transmitted.63. How is modern linguistics different from traditional grammar?Traditional gram-mar is prescriptive; it is based on "high "(religious, literary) written language. It sets grammatical rules and imposes the rules on language users. But Modern linguistics is descriptive; It collects authentic, and mainly spoken language data and then it studies and describes the data in an objective and scientific way.64. How do you understand the distinction between a synchronic study and a diachronic study?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. A synchronic study of language describes a language as it is at some particular point in time, while a diachronic study of language is the study of the historical development of language over a period of time.65. Why does modern linguistics regard the spoken form of language as primary, not the written?First, the spoken form is prior to the writ-ten form and most writing systems are derived from the spoken form of language.Second, the spoken form plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed and it serves a wider range of purposesFinally, the spoken form is the medium through which we acquire our mother tongue.66. What are the major distinctions between langue and parole?The distinction between langue, and parole was made by the famous linguist Ferdinand de Saussure early this century. Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. Langue is the set of conventions and rules which language users all have to follow while parole is the concrete use of the conventionsand the application of the rules. Langue is abstract; it is not the language people actually use, but parole is concrete; it refers to the naturally occurring language events. Langue is relatively stable; it does not change frequently; while parole varies from person to person, and from situation to situation.67. How do you understand competence and performance?American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s proposed the distinction between competence and performance. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language. This internalized set of rules enables the language user to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences and recognize sentences that are ungrammatical and ambiguous. According to Chomsky, performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. Although the speaker’s knowledge of his mother tongue is perfect, his performances may have mistakes because of social and psychological factors such as stress, embarrassment, etc.. Chomsky believes that what linguists should study is the competence, which is systematic, not the performance, which is too haphazard. 68. Saussure’s distinction between langue and parole seems similar to Chomsky’s distinction between competence and performance. What do you think are their major differences?Although Saussure’s distinction and Chomsky’s are very similar, they differ at least in that Saussure took a sociological view of language and his notion of langue is a mater of social conventions, and Chomsky looks at language from a psychological point of vies and to him, competence is a property of the mind of each individual. 69. Do you think human language is entirely arbitrary? Why?Language is arbitrary in nature, it is not entirely arbitrary, because there are a limited number of words whose connections between forms and meanings can be logically explained to a certain extent, for example, the onomatopoeia, words which are coined on the basis of imitation of sounds by sounds such as bang, crash,etc.. Take compounds for another example. The two elements “photo” and “copy” in “photocopy” are non-motivated, but the compound is not arbitrary.Chapter 2：PhonologyIV. Define the terms below:45. phonology: Phonology studies the system of sounds of a particular language; it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.46. phoneme: The basic unit in phonology is called phoneme; it is a unit of distinctive value. But it is an abstract unit. To be exact, a phoneme is not a sound; it is a collection of distinctive phonetic features.47. allophone: The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophones of that phoneme.48. international phonetic alphabet: It is a standardized and internationally accepted system of phonetic transcription.49. intonation: When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation.50. phonetics: Phonetics is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language; itis concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world' s languages51. auditory phonetics: It studies the speech sounds from the hearer's point of view. It studies how the sounds are perceived by the hear-er.52. acoustic phonetics: It studies the speech sounds by looking at the sound waves. It studies the physical means by which speech sounds are transmitted through the air from one person to another.53. phone : Phones can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speakinga language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning.54. phonemic contrast: Phonemic contrast refers to the relation between two phonemes. If two phonemes can occur in the same environment and distinguish meaning, they are in phonemic contrast.55. tone: Tones are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords.56. minimal pair: When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair.V. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give ex-amples for illustration if necessary:57. Of the two media of language, why do you think speech is more basic than writing?1) In linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing.2) In everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed.3) Speech is always the way in which every native speaker acquires his mother tongue, and writing is learned and taught later at school.58. What are the criteria that a linguist uses in classifying vowels?1) Vowels may be distinguished as front, central and back in terms of the position of the tongue in the mouth.2) According to how wide our mouth is opened, we classify the vowels into four groups: close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels, and open vowels.3) According to the shape of the lips, vowels are divided into rounded vowels and unrounded vowels.4) The English vowels can also be classified into long vowels and short vowels according to the length of the sound.59. What are the major differences between phonology and phonetics?They differ in their approach and focus. Phonetics is of a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages: how they are produced, how they differ from each other, what phonetic features they possess, how they can be classified. Phonology, on the other hand, is interested in the system of sounds of a particular language; it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.60. Illustrate with examples how suprasegmental features can affect meaning.1) The location of stress in English distinguishes meaning, such as `import and import. The similar alternation of stress also occurs between a compound noun and a phrase consisting of the same elements. A phonological feature of the English compounds is that the stress of the word always falls on the first element and the second element receives secondary stress, for example: `blackbird is a particular kind of bird, which is not necessarily black, but a black `bird is a bird that is black.2) The more important words such as nouns, verbs adjectives , adverbs,etc are pronounced with greater force and made more prominent. But to give special emphasis to a certain notion, a word in sentence that is usually unstressed can be stressed to achieve different effect. Take the sentence “He is driving my car.” for example. To emphasize the fact that the car he is driving is not his, or yours, but mine, the speaker can stress the possessive pronoun my, which under normal circumstances is not stressed.3) English has four basic types of intonation, known as the four tones: When spoken in different tones, the same sequence of words may have different meanings. Generally speaking, the falling tone indicates that what is said is a straight-forward, matter-of-fact statement, the rising tone often makes a question of what is said, and the fall-rise tone often indicates that there is an implied message in what is said.61. In what way can we determine whether a phone is a phoneme or not?A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one sound for other results in a change of meaning. If it does, the two sounds then represent different phonemes.Chapter 3：MorphologyIV. Define the following terms:31. Morphology: Morphology is a branch of grammar which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed.32. inflectional morphology: The inflectional morphology studies the inflections33. derivational morphology: Derivational morphology is the study of word- formation.34. Morpheme: It is the smallest meaningful unit of language.35. free morpheme: Free morphemes are the morphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves or in combination with oth-er morphemes.36. bound morpheme: Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used indepen-dently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word.37. Root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself al-though it bears clear, definite meaning; it must be combined with another root or an affix to form a word.38. Affix: Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational. Inflectional affixes manifest various grammatical relations or grammatical categories, while derivationalaffixes are added to an existing form to create a word.39. Prefix: Prefixes occur at the beginning of a word . Prefixes modify the meaning of the stem, but they usually do not change the part of speech of the original word.40. Suffix: Suffixes are added to the end of the stems; they modify the meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech.41. Derivation: Derivation is a process of word formation by which derivative affixes are added to an existing form to create a word.42. Compounding: Compounding can be viewed as the combination of two or sometimes more than two words to create new words.V. Anwser the following questions:43. What are the main features of the English compounds?Orthographically a compound can be written as one word, two separate words with or without a hyphen in between. Syntactically, the part of speech of a compound is determined by the last element. Semantically, the meaning of a compound is idiomatic, not calcu-lable from the meanings of all its components. Phonetically, the word stress of a compound usually falls on the first element.44. Discuss the types of morphemes with examples.Free morphemes: They are the independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by the mselves, for example, “book-” in the word “bookish”.Bound morphemes: They are those that cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word such as “-ish” in “bookish”. Bound morphemes can be subdivided into roots and affixes. A root is seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it has a clear and definite meaning, such as “gene-” in the word “generate”. Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational. Inflectional morphemes manifest various grammatical relations or grammatical categories such as “-s” in the word “books” to indicate plurality of nouns. Derivational affixes are added to an existing form to create a word such as “mis-” in the word “misinform”. Derivational affixes can also be divided into prefixes and suffixes.

语言学作业参考答案
Myth1 Language is only a means of communication.If language is viewed only as a system of communication, then many species communicate. Humans also use systems other than language to relate to each other and to send and receive “messages,” like so-called body language. The question is whether the communication systems used by other species are at all like human linguistic knowledge, which is acquired by children with no instruction, and which is used creatively rather than in response to internal or external stimuli. So language should be defined as a system of vocal symbols used for human communication that can also talk about our thoughts, feelings and language itself.Note: 有些同学从语言功能的角度对此论述进行批判，或者只是对语言的定义进行阐述，并非不正确，只是在论述的时候，简单的摘抄笔记或者书本的句子，并没有看到论点。
Myth 2 Language has a form-meaning correspondence.Language is arbitrary which means there is no logic connection between the form and the meaning and they do not correspond to each other. The connection between for form and meaning is the conventionality. Note: 有些同学大概不理解form-meaning correspondence (语言与形式的对应关系), 所以在阐述的时候，没有讲到点上。

文学院2011级在职研究生“语言学概论”课程作业
一、名词解释
1. 语言
语言是以语音为物质外壳，以语义为意义内容的，音义结合的词汇建筑材料和语法组织规律的体系。
语言是一种社会现象，是人类最重要的交际工具，是进行思维和传递信息的工具，是人类保存认识成果的载体。
语言具有稳固性和民族性。
2.语音
语音是人类发音器官发出的具有区别意义功能的声音；语音是最直接地记录思维活动的符号体系，是语言交际工具的声音形式。
语音的物理基础主要有音高、音强、音长、音色，这也是构成语音的四要素。
人的发音器官及其活动情况是语音的生理基础。
3.符号
符号是指具有某种代表意义的标识。
来源于规定或者约定成俗，其形式简单，种类繁多，用途广泛，具有很强的艺术魅力。
4.音标
音标就是记录音素的符号，是音素的标写符号。
它的制定原则是:一个音素只用一个音标表示，一个音标只表示一个音素。
如汉语拼音字母、英语的韦氏音标和国际音标等。
5.语流音变
语流音变：在连续的语流中，一个音可能由于邻近音的影响，或自身所处地位的不同，或说话的快慢、高低、强弱的不同而在发音上产生一些变化，这种现象叫“语流音变”。
6.词类
词类是指词在语法上的分类，也就是把汉语里的所有词，根据它们的词汇意义和语法特点进行分类，这样得出的结果就是词类。
现代汉语教学系统把词分为十二类：实词名词、动词、形容词、数词、量词、代词虚词副词、介词、连词、助词、叹词、拟声词。
7.文字
文字是人类用来记录语言的符号系统。
文字在语言学中指书面语的视觉形式，古代把独体字叫做“文”，把合体字叫做“字”，现在联合起来叫做“文字”，文字的基本个体叫做“字”。
在日常生活中，“文字”还可以指书面语、语言、文章、字等。
8.同义词
同义词是指意义相同或相近的词。
同义词中，意义和用法完全相同的很少，同义词中的近义词的意义只是相近，并不相同，一般不能互相代替。
9.借词
所谓借词就是一种语言从另一种语言中"借"来的词，通常这种词都是音译词，比如"沙发"、“麦克风”，以至于“塔”；英语里的"tea","kung fu"借自中文。
10.社会方言
在语言学中，社会方言指的是在某一社会团体，社会阶层或次文化群中被使用的语言。
在此意义上，它区别于个人方言，即个人使用的特殊形式的语言。
社会方言也区分于地域方言，即特定地区使用的特殊形式的语言。
然而地域方言通常有
特殊的社会地位，所以一种特定的语言变体常常同时被视为地域方言和社会方言。
二、填空题
1. 人类的发音器官可分为（）、（）和（）三大部分。
2.语言是人类社会的（）工具，而且也是（）的工具，这是语言的两大社会功能。
3. 根据发音特点，音素可以分为（）和（）两类。
4. 任何符号，都是由（）和（）两个方面构成的。
5. （）是听觉上能够自然辨别出来的最小语音单位，它也是语音中最小的（）单位。
6. 语言体系中的一切成分都以关系为基础，语言系统中的所有符号既可以同别的符号组合，又可以被别的符号替换，这两种关系就是（）和（）。
7. 语音同其它声音一样，也具有（）、（）、（）和（）四个要素。
8. 词的结构类型可分为（）、（）和（）三类。
9. 只能附加在词根上面，表达一定语法意义的语素叫（）。
10. 词义具有（）性、（）性、（）性三个特征。
11. 依照语言间亲属关系的亲疏程度可以把语言分为（）、（）、（）和（）。
12.词义的演变主要指词义的扩大、（）和（）。
三、分析题
（二）将下列各词按照其构造方式分别填入下表内
踟蹰饽饽敢于纸张星星抓紧刚刚动员耳鸣飞快邋遢体验国家云集司仪奶牛奶奶桌子健美投资
仅仅甜头美容心算扩大夏至司机人潮开关披萨
记者海啸克隆筛选往来新潮皑皑布匹胳膊老乡
四、论述题
1.如何认识语言符号的层级性？
2. 举例说明语音的同化与异化、弱化与脱落。
同化：言语中最常见的一种语音变化，指两个不同或不相近的音连读，受影响而变得相同或相近。
如广州话中的“收音机”，往往说成“心机”，普通话中的“面包”miànbāo，前一个音节的韵尾/n/受到后一个音节的声母/p/影响，读成了/m/等。
异化：如果两个或多个相同或相近的音连在一起，又难免使语音成了囫囵的一串而难以分辨，所以其中一个要做出改变，这在语音学上叫做“异化”。
俄语里最丰富；法语“militɑire”[militε：r] →[melitε：r]
汉语主要表现为声调的异化：如两个上声连读，前一个变阳平（好好学习、粉笔、野草、悔改）
弱化：语流中有些音发音时受所处地位（位置：在词的末尾、作助词等）的影响而引起的肌肉紧张度减弱的音变现象。
如：大的[ta t&O01;]→[ta d&O01;]；哥哥[kγkγ]→[kγg&<241;]；妈妈[mA mA]→[mA m&<241;]；脑袋[nau tai]→[nau dε]（元音、辅音都弱化）
脱落：语流音变中连读的某个音消失的语音现象。
（往往弱化的某个音节进一步弱化形成脱落）汉语轻声音节经常出现脱落情况。
如：我们
[wom&<241;n ]→[wom]；豆腐[tou fu]→[touf]；意思
[yi si]→[yis]为了连读方便，儿化音节里韵尾-i -n常脱落。
（[i][n]韵尾与儿化的卷舌不协调，所以先减音再儿化）如“锅盖
儿”[kuo kɑi&<241;]→[kuo kɑ&<241;]；小孩儿
[φiɑu xai]→[φiɑu xar]；茶缸儿
[t&&51;’ɑka&&31;]→[t&&51;’ɑk&>59;&<241;]（只留鼻化的痕迹）
英语音节的连读或语速加快时，常出现脱落现象。
3. 为什么说组合关系和类聚关系是语言体系中两种最基本的关系？
在语言体系中一切成分都以关系为基础，语言成分之间的关系都是在两个不同的
范围内展开的，这就是组合关系和类聚关系。
语言的二层关系是相对于语言系统的整体来说的，至于这一系统是如何运作，使语言具有丰富性和生动性，创造出无限多的句子来，所依靠的是组合关系和聚合关系。
组合关系就是两个或两个以上同一性质的结构单位（例如音位与音位、词与词等等），按照线性的顺序组合起来的关系。
组合关系直接体现了语言的结构规则要求。
在语言的组合结构的某一个位置上能够互相替换的几个具有相同作用（组合能力）的单位符号之间的关系就是聚合关系。
聚合关系其实就是具有相同功能特点的一群符号之间的关系，由于它们的功能相同，所以在同一结构中可以互相替换，替换后虽然具体内容有所改变，但功能与结构关系没有变化。
组合关系所侧重的是符号和符号怎样组合成为一句完整的话，聚合关系所侧重的是如何替换现有的符号创造出更多的句子。
组合关系和类聚关系是语言体系中两种最基本的关系。
不但所有的语言符号（符号系列）处在两种关系中，构成符号的各级单位也处在该关系中。
同样，语义的搭配、同义词的选择等也反映出语义方面的组合和类聚关系。
4. 常见的语法手段和语法范畴有哪些类型？请举例说明。
5. 地域方言和社会方言是怎样形成的？它们的主要区别是什么？
方言是全民语言的地方变体，各方言之间并未斩断一切联系，他们的基本词汇和语法构造基本上还是相同的。
社会的发展往往造成社会内部进一步的分工，这样，同一分工的人群在语言交际上就具有某一社团的特征，产生了语言分支或者语言变体，这就是社会方言。
社会的发展往往还伴随着人群生活地域的扩展或者迁移，这样，原来是同一种语言的语言群落，由于地域的变更，某一地域的语言变体就会跟原来的语言逐渐有了差距，各地域之间的语言变体有了自己的稳定性，就产生了地域方言。
方言差异是语言演变不平衡性的重要体现，这种不平衡是指在不同语言社团中进展速度快慢的不同。
地域方言和社会方言都是随着社会分化而分化，是社会分化的伴随现象。
二者的主要区别在于：
（1）范围不同。
社会方言是适应社会分工需要而产生的全民语言的分支，是全民语言的社会变体。
而地域方言则是全民语言在不同地域上所产生的全民语言的分支，是语言发展不平衡性在地域上的反映，虽然都叫方言，但划分的角度是不同的。
（2）内部差异不同。
域方言之间的主要差别表现在语音上，同时也反映在词汇系统和语法系统方面，而社会方言的主要差别则在一般词汇方面，语音、语法方面没有差别。
（3）发展趋势不同。
地域方言在一定条件下可以发展为独立的语言，或在社会高度统一融合情况下可能消失；社会方言没有自己的基本词汇、语音系统、语法结构，在任何条件下都不可能发展成为独立的语言。
