英语词汇学教程张唯友第一章

第一章

1.A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound, meaning and syntactic function.

2. V ocabulary refers to the sum total of all the words in a language. In other words, vocabulary is composed of words and words make up vocabulary. If we compare vocabulary to a family, words are family members.

3. Sound is the physical aspect of a word and meaning is what the sound refers to. Sound and meaning are not intrinsically related and their collection is arbitrary and conventional. For example, tree/tri:/ means 树in English because the English-speaking people have agreed to do so just as Chinese people use/shù/(树) to refer to the same thing. This explains why people of different languages use different sounds to express the same concept. However, in the same languages, the same sound can denote different meanings, e.g. /rait/ can mean right, rite, and write.

4. There are generally four major causes of the differences between sound and form.⑴There are more phonemes than letters in English, so there is no way to use one letter to represent one phoneme.⑵The stabilization of spelling by printing, which breaks the synchronized change of sound and spelling. ⑶influence of the work of scribes, who deliberately changed the spelling of words and ⑷borrowing, which introduces many words which are against English rules of pronunciation and spelling.

5 .Early scribes changed the spelling of many words while copying things for others because the original spelling forms in cursive writing were difficult for people to recognize, such as sum, cum, wuman, munk and so on. Later, the letter u with vertical lines was replaced with o, resulting in the current spelling forms like some, come, woman, monk. The changed spelling forms are more distinguishable to readers.

6. Words of the basic word stock form the common core of the English language. They are the words essential to native speakers’ daily communication. Such words are characterized by all national character, stability, polysemy, productivity and collocability.

7. a. loose woman b. fellow c. pistol d. great e. coward

f. fight

g. police

h. drunk

i. woman

j. girl

8. haply = perhaps albeit= although

methinks = it seems to me eke= also

smooth= truth morn= morning

troth= pledge ere= before

quoth = said hallowed= holy

billow= wave/ the sea bade= bid

9. Neologisms refer to newly-coined words or old words with new meanings. For example, euro(欧元),e-book(电子书),SARS(非典), netizen (网民), are newly-coined words. Words like mouse(鼠标),web(网络),space shuttle(航天飞机) etc. are old words which have acquired new meanings.

10. By notion, words fall into content words and functional words. Content words include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverds and numerals, which have clear notions; whereas functional words are void of notions but are mainly used to connect content words into sentences. Content words are numerous and changing all the time, while functional words are small in number and stable. But functional words have much higher frequency in use than content words.

11. Native words form a small portion of the English vocabulary, but they make up the mainstream of the basic word-stock which belongs to the common core of the English language. Compared with most loan-words, native words are mostly essential to native speakers’ daily communication and enjoy a much higher frequency in actual use.

英语词汇学教程参考题答案(杨信彰)

《英语词汇学教程》参考答案 Chapter 1 1. The three definitions agree that lexicology studies words. Yet, they have different focuses. Definition 1 focuses on the meaning and uses of words, while definition 2 on the overall structure and history. Definition 3 regards lexicology as a branch of linguistics and focuses on the semantic structure of the lexicon. It is interesting to note that the three definitions use different names for the object of study. For Definition 1, it is words, for Definition 2 the vocabulary of a language, and for Definition 3 the lexicon. 2. (1) They can go into the room, and if they like, shut the door.

修订版《语言学纲要》第五章语义和语用答案

修订版《语言学纲要》第五章语义和语用答案第五章语义和语用一、名词解释基本词汇——基本词汇就是人们自古至今常用的，用来表达日常事物现象的，并成为构成新词基础的那一部分词。基本词汇里的词是语言词汇的核心。多义词——一个词有多个意义，它们概括反映相互有联系的几类现实现象。如“跑”就具有“两只脚或四条腿迅速前进”、“逃走”、〈方〉“走”、“为某种事务而奔走”、“物体离开了应该在的位置”、“液体因挥发而损耗”等六项互相有联系但又各不相同的意义，是多义词。反义词——语言中有很多意义相反的词，叫做反义词。反义词，是现实现象中矛盾的或对立的现象在语言中的反映。分相对反义词和绝对反义词两种。具有反义关系的两个词之间只需要有一个义项相对或相反就可以了。施事——自主性动作、行为的主动发出者。焦点——人们之所以要说话，是为了向对方传递他们所不知道的信息，也即新信息。从信息的角度看，句子中的新信息是说话者所传递信息的重点所在，是说话者认为受话者不知道因此希望受话者特别关注的部分。这就是句子的“焦点”。情态——情态是体现“说话者对所言的主观看法”的范畴。主要表达“必然性”、“可能性”、“必要性”等方面。语气——语气是表达“句子的言语交际作用”的范畴，指的是句子所携带的反映说话人使用句子的目的和说话人情绪的意义，包括陈述、疑问、祈使、感叹等言语行为——人们说出的话不仅仅是人类经验的映像(句义)，也不仅仅是特定说话者对人类经验的具体认知，它还是一种社会行为。像打人、吃饭等其他社会行为一样，“说话”这种社会行为也有对行为者之外的事物(特别是受话者)或行为者自身产生某种效力的

目标，也有因行为而引发实际变化的效果。简而言之，言语交际行为本身也构成新的人类经验，与现实世界中的其他人、物、现象、事件有着“行为—效力”的关联。这些是语言在另一层次上的意义。从这一视角对语言意义的关注称为言语行为研究。二、填空、( 一般性 ) 、( 模糊性 )、( 全民性)是词义概括性的三个重要的表现形式。、多义词有多项意义，最初的那个意义叫(本义)，离开上下文人们就能知道的那项意义叫( 中心意义)。汉语中的“老”有“年纪大”、“经常”、“陈旧的”等意义，其中，“年纪大”是( 本义 )，其余的是(派生意义)。三、分析题、指出下列同义词的意义差别父亲——爸爸语体色体不同，父亲是书面语体，爸爸是口语语体得到——获得感情色彩不同，“得到”是中性词，，“获得”是通过努力得到好的结果，是褒义词。眼红——嫉妒语体色体不同，嫉妒是书面语体，眼红是口语语体秘密——绝密词义轻重不同，秘密轻，绝密重。 3、收集汉语“烹调类”单音节动词，用一组语义特征描写它们的词义。蒸、煮、烹、煎、烤、烘、煨、炸、煸、爆、试分析下列句子的语义结构。

英语词汇学第一章

Chapter 1 1.1 What Is a Word 词的概念：A word can be defined as a meaningful group of letters. （一个词可以被定义为一组有意义的字母）词包含以下几点： ① a minimal free form of a language.一门语言中最小的形式 ② a sound unity.一个声音统一体 ③ a unit of meaning.一个意义单位 ④ a form that can function alone in a sentence.能在句子中起独立作用的一个形式 A word is a free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function.词是一门语言中具有一定的声音，意义和句法功能的最小形式 Words can be simple and complex.词可以是简单的也可以是复杂的 1.2 Sound and Meaning 声音与意义之间的关系：This symbolic connection is almost always arbitrary,and there is no logical relationship between the sound and the actual thing and idea itself .The relationship between them is conventional. 这种象征性的联系几乎总是任意的，声音与实际的事物和观念本身没有逻辑关系。他们之间的关系是约定俗成的。 1.3 Sound and Form 读音与拼写不一致的原因：①The English alphabet was adopted from the Romans,which does not have a separate letter to represent each sound in the language. ②The pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years. ③Some of the differences were created by the early scribes. ①英语字母表是从罗马人那里采用的，罗马人没有一个单独的字母来代表语言中的每个声音。 ②这些年来，发音的变化比拼写的变化更快。 ③有些差异是由早期的抄写员造成的。

第五章常用词汇以及表达方式的翻译(二)

第五章常用词汇以及表达方式的翻译（二）本章教学目标：掌握常用法律英语词汇以及表达方式的基本译法。课堂讲练：一、“FOR THE PURPOSE(S) OF----― 1、可翻译为“为---目的“（汉译英法律文本中多见）例1、（1）、Whoever, for the purpose of illegal possession, uses one of the following means during signing or performing a contract to obtain property and goods of the opposite party by fraud, -----, is to be sentenced to ----. （2）、This law is enacted for the purpose of protecting the legal rights and interests of the parties to contracts, maintaining the socio-economic order---. 注意，这种用法是我国法律英译文本的译法，在原文是英文的法律文本当中，要表达“为—目的“或”出于—目的“而使用“FOR THE PURPOSE(S) OF----―比较少见，一般使用“FOR”或者“IN ORDER TO”。（3）、This contract is entered into by and between Party A and Party B as follows in order to arrange the matters in respect of the loan provided by Party A to Party B for the purchase of the target goods. 小结：之所以建议用“FOR”或者“IN ORDER TO”，是因为“FOR THE PURPOSE(S) OF----―在英语法律文本中的用法已经不作“为—目的”讲。 2、译为“就---而言”，或“为了施行或实施—” 例2、（1）、For the purpose of subsection (3), permission shall be in the form of a thirty (30) business day prior notice in writing ---- （2）、For the purpose of this law, ―invention –creation ―means inventions ,utility models and designs.‖ 小结：该短语的恰当译法是“就---而言”，或“为施行---（法律条款名），尤其在其后跟法规编号时，最好可译为“就该（法规编号，比如第几条、款、章）而言”。二、“PROVIDE THAT“ “PROVIDE THAT“means: ―on condition that, if‖ 1) Provided that there is no opposition in writing by both Parties hereto at the expiration of its duration, this Contract shall be renewed automatically for one year. 2) Provided that you make adequate monetary compensation.，we shall waive our title to this land. 1、较少用法：放在句首，引导条件从句，与“IF”、“WHERE”等引导的条件从句无异。例3、（1）、Provided that the rent in respect of the aforesaid premises is not paid in advance as stipulated by Clause 1 hereof, the tenant shall be deemed to be in arrears with the rent. （2）、Provided that the offeree makes an acceptance beyond the time limit for acceptance, it shall constitute a new offer unless the offeror notifies the offeree in time that the acceptance is effective. 2、放在某句之后，以分号与主句隔开，表示与之前陈述相反的“例外”，相当于“with the exception of “，但不能译成“---以外，---除外”，而译成“但，但是“。法律英语中称为”但书“。 1)、The Licensee shall not be entitled to start any action for the infringement on the Licensed Trademark ;provided that the Licensor may, at its own discretion and cost, prosecute or otherwise to stop or prevent such actual or threatened infringement 2）、The interest rate applicable to each loan hereunder shall be the interest rate stipulated herein; provided that we have the right, in the manner as we deem appropriate, to adjust it from to time to the extent permitted by the applicable laws or regulations. 小结：“PROVIDE THAT“作为但书使用的场合远远多于其作为”如果“讲时使用的场合。对于作为“如果”来讲，正式的词很多，有‘WHERE“，”IN THE EVENT THAT“等，而要表示“但是”，“BUT”在法律英语中一般不用，而是“HOWEVER‘和“PROVIDE THAT“，这导致作为但书讲时，“PROVIDE

Unit 8 Check Your Understanding State whether each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE. a. English words are either appreciative or derogatory. (F) b. The affective meaning of a word may change over time. (T) c. Affective meaning has nothing to do with culture. (F) d. The semantic prosody of a word determines the affective meaning of its collocates. (T) e. A variety of lexical devices are employed in English to express affective meanings. (T) In-Class Activities 1. The following two pairs of sentences contain four words in bold face. A. a. His (her) eyes sparkled with amusement (merriment, good humour, high spirits, happiness). b. His (her) eyes glittered with anger (rage, hatred, malice). B. a. Look at that lovely little girl. b. Look at that tiny girl. ASK: (1) Can the two words in bold face in each pair of sentences be used interchangeably? If not, why? (2) Can you suggest more pairs like the above ones? KEY: Answer: (1) No. The verbs sparkle and glitter are close synonyms. They are different in terms of affective connotations. In the above two sentences, both adjectives (little and tiny) describe the smallness of the girl. However, little suggests ?attractiveness‘ and ?pleasantness‘ while tiny implies the abnormal growth of the child. Therefore, little is appreciative while tiny is derogatory. (2) Slim and skinny Famous and notorious Proud and arrogant Confident and conceited 2. The following are the concordance lines of the verbs cause and provide obtained with the corpus tool from a very small part of BNC (spoken and part of written news report). Observe the collocates of the two words and answer the questions that follow. ASK: (1) What are the features of the two words in terms of semantic prosody? (2) Can you use each of the two words in a sentence of your own? Answer: (1) Cause is often used with words with a negative feature, that is, something unpleasant, such as problem, damage, danger, chaos. Provide is often used with words with a positive feature, or something useful, for example, food accommodation, necessities, comfortable conditions.
