语言学概论期末复习重点

语言学概论期末复习提纲导言部分一、语言的三大发源地:中国、印度、希腊-罗马五、根据研究对象的不同把语言学分为专语语言学和普通语言学。

五、1共时语言学:以同时的静态分析的方法、研究语言相对静止的状态。

描写分析语言在某一个时期、某一个阶段的状况,时从横的方面研究语言。

(如现代汉语、当代英语)五、2历时语言学:从历时的、动态的角度研究语言发展的历史,观察一种语言的各个结构要素在不同发展阶段的历史演变,是从纵的方面研究语言的历史。

(如汉语史)五、3专语语言学:又称具体语言学、个别语言学,是以一种或几种有联系的语言为研究对象,研究某一语言的结构。

五、4普通语言学:以人类一般语言为研究对象,研究人类语言的性质、结构特征、发展规律,是综合众多语言研究成果而建立起来的。

五、5现代语言学之父:瑞士索绪尔代表作《普通语言学教程》六、语言学流派:历史比较语言学,为后来的结构主义和描写语言学的产生和发展创造了有利条件,它在19世纪进入了系统的研究,是语言学走上独立发展道路的标志。

结构语言学的分支:布拉格学派、哥本哈根学派、美国描写语言学派。

美国描写语言学代表人物:布龙菲尔德代表作《语言论》第一章语言的功能第一节语言是人类最重要的交际工具一、语言是音义结合的符号系统,是人类最重要的交际工具和思维工具。

一、1语言的作用:语言是人类社会的交际工具,每个社会无论经济发达还是落后,都必须有属于自己的语言,都离布开语言这个交际工具。

语言是组成社会必不可少的一个因素,是人类与动物相区别的重要特征之一。

语言是联系社会成员的桥梁和纽带,没有语言,人类无法交际,人与人之间的联系就会中断,社会就会崩溃,不复存在。

语言又是思维工具,没有语言,人类就无法思维,也无法把思维表达出来。

(如普通话是汉民族用来交流思想传递感情的工具)一、2语言同社会的联系:语言与人类社会息息相关,人类社会以外无所谓语言,不同民族、不同地域都有不同语言。

同时社会的变化也给语言以极大的影响。

第一章绪论1.1什么是语言1.2语言的性质(1)语言具有系统性(systematic)(2)语言是一个符号系统语言符号是一种象征符号。

(3)语言符号的任意性(arbitrariness)与理据性(motivation)(4)口头性(5)语言是人类特有的(6)语言是用于交际的寒暄交谈(phatic communion)马林诺夫斯基提出的,认为语言除了用于表达思想、交流感情外,还可以用语言营造一种气氛或保持社会接触。

这种不用于表达思想、交流感情的语言使用,叫寒暄交谈。

1.3语言的起源1.4语言的分类1.4.1系属分类(Genetic Classification)历史比较语言学通过比较各种语言在不同时期语音、词性、曲折变化、语法结构上的相同特点来建立语言族系。

将语言分为语系(family)——语族(group)——语支(branch)——语言英语、德语属印欧语系日耳曼语族西日耳曼语支。

法语属印欧语系罗曼语族中罗曼语支。

汉语属汉藏语系汉语族。

1.4.2 类型分类(Typological Classifacation)根据词的结构类型,可分为(1)孤立语(isolating language)又叫词根语,一个词代表一个意思,缺少形态变化,语序和虚词是表达语法意义的主要手段。

汉语是典型的孤立语。

(2)粘着语(agglutinative language)简单词组成复合词,而词性和意义不变。

在词根前、中、后粘贴不同的词缀实现语法功能。

日语、韩语、土耳其语是典型的黏着语。

(3)屈折语(inflectional language)词形变化表语法关系的语言。

英语是不太典型的屈折语。

(4)多式综合语(polysynthesis language)把主、宾和其它语法项结合到动词词干上以构成一个单独的词,但表达一个句子的意思。

因纽特语是典型的多式综合语。

根据句子的语序类型,可分为SVO、SOV、OSV、OVS等1.5语言的功能1.5.1 一般功能1.5.2元功能(metafunction)1.6什么是语言学(linguistics)1.7语言学中的重要区分(1)语言(langue)和言语(parole/langage)索绪尔对语言和言语作出了区分。

Sense relations 意义关系Sense may be defined as the semantic relations between one word and another, or more generallybetween one linguistic unit and another.*distinctions between sense and reference:The distinction between sense and referenceis comparable to that between connotation anddenotation in philosophy①The former refers to the abstract propertiesof an entity, while the latter refers tothe concrete entities having these properties.②Every word has a sense, but not every wordhas a reference.③Reference in its wider sense would be therelationship between a word or phrase and anentity in the external world.④So sense is intra-linguistic and reference is extra- l linguistic3.3 kinds of sense relations:Synonymy (同义关系)Semantic relation of sameness or similarity inmeaning of two or more linguistic expressions.(absolute synonyms 绝对同义词、relative synonyms 相对同义词、Stylistic synonyms 文体同义词、Emotive synonyms 情感同义词、Collocational synonyms:搭配同义词)Antonymy (反义关系)·Relation of semantic opposition.·three main sub-types:1)Gradable antonymy (等级反义关系):They are gradable; the denial of one is not necessarily the assertion of the other. Thereis an intermediate ground between the two.(hot\cold warm\cool tall\shortbig\small )2Complementary antonymy(互补反义关系)The members of a pair in this type arecomplementary to each other. There is nointermediate ground between the two.(alive\dead odd\even single\marriedmale\female pass\fail hit\miss )3Converse antonymy(相反反义关系)The members of a pair in this type show thereversal of a relationship between twoentities. They are also known as relationalopposites. There are always two entitiesinvolved. One presupposes the other.(buy\sell give\receive husband\wifeteacher\student above\belowbefore\after)Hyponymy(上下义关系)A relationship between two words, in whichthe meaning of one of the words includes themeaning of the other word.Sometimes a superordinate may be asuperordinate to itself.A superordinate may be missing sometimes.(red green yellow)Hyponyms may also be missing.(uncle rice)ponential analysis (成分分析)Componential analysis: (in semantics) an approach to the study of meaning which analyses aword into a set of meaning components or semanticfeatures.Usually, componential analysis is applied to a group of related words which may differ from oneanother only by one or two components.Semantic features 语义特征or semantic components are the basic unit of meaning in a word. Themeanings of words may be described as a combinationof semantic features.5. An integrated theory(整体理论)The idea that the meaning of a sentence depends on the meanings of the constituent words andthe way they are combined is usually known as theprinciple of compositionality(复合性原则)a dictionarya semantic theorya set of projectionrules 投射规则The dictionary provides the grammatical classification and semantic information of words.The projection rules are responsible for combining the meanings of words together.Chapter 6Language and cognitionis cognitionTwo definitions about cognition:①In psychology it refers to the mental processesof an individual with particular relation to theview that argues that the mind has internalstates (beliefs, desires, and intentions) and canbe understood in terms of information processing.②Mental process or faculty of knowing, includingaspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning,and judgement.2.W hat is psycholinguistics(心理语言学)Definition:is the study of psychological aspects of languages; it usually studies thepsychological states and mental activityassociated with the use of language.6 subjects of research within psycholinguistics:Acquisition(语言习得) Comprehension(语言理解) Language and thoughtProduction(语言产出) Disorders(语言无序性) Neurocognition3.W hat is Cognitive LinguisticsDefinition: is a newly established approach to the study of language.Chapter 7Language, culture and Society1.L anguage and Culture①What is culture :Culture, in a broad sense, means the total way oflife of a people, including the patterns ofbelief, customs, objects, institutions,techniques, and language that characterizes thelife of the human community.In a narrow sense, culture may refer to local orspecific practice, beliefs or customs, which canbe mostly found in folk culture, enterpriseculture or food culture etc.②The relationship between language and cultureA language not only expresses facts, ideas,or events which represent similar world knowledgeby its people, but also reflects the people’sattitudes, beliefs, world outlooks etc. In a word,language expresses cultural reality.2.S apir-Whorf Hypothesis (萨丕尔-沃尔夫假设)Sapir and Whorf believe that language filters people’s perception and the way they categorize experiences. This interdependence of language and thought is now known as Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis.This hypothesis primarily suggests that our language will mould our view of the world.But few people would tend to accept the original for this theory. Thus, two versions, strong version and weak version have been developed.the strong version: the language patterns determinepeople’s thinking and behavior.the weak version: the former influences the latter.3.L anguage and society①Definition of sociolinguistics(社会语言学):Sociolinguistics is the sub-field of linguistics that studies the relation between language and society, between the uses of language and the social structures in which the users of language live.②The relatedness between language and society:1) While language is principally used tocommunicate meaning, it is also used to establishand maintain social relationships.2) Users of the same language in a sense allspeak differently. The kind of language each ofthem chooses to use is in part determined by hissocial background.3) To some extent, language, especiallythe structure of its lexicon, reflects both thephysical and the social environments of a society4) Judgments concerning the correctness andpurity of linguistic varieties are social ratherthan linguistic.4.Halliday’s register theory:Definition of register(语域): The type of language which is selected as appropriate to the type of situation is a register.Field of discourse(语场)refers to what is going on: to the area of operation of the language.Tenor of discourse(语旨)refers “to whom the speaker is communicating”Mode of discourse(语式)mainly refers to the means of communication.Chapter 8Language in use1.W hat is Pragmaticsthe study of language in use.2.S peech act theory1)The first major theory in the study of languagein use, which originated with the Oxford philosopher John Langshaw Austin: How to Do Things with Words2)Speech act: an utterance(表达) as a functionalunit in communication. In speech act theory, utterances have two kinds of meaning:a.propositional meaning 命题意义(also known aslocutionary meaning发话意义)b. illocutionary meaning行事意义(also knownas illocutionary force行事语力).A speech act is a sentence or utterance which hasboth propositional meaning and illocutionary force.3) 2 types of sentences:Performatives(施为句;行事话语): anutterance which performs an actConstative(表述句;述事话语): an utterancewhich asserts something that iseither true or false.*It has even been suggested that there is noreal difference between constative and implicitperformatives.All sentences can be used to dothings.theory of the illocutionary act(行事行为理论)T hree different types of act involved in or caused by the utterance of a sentence:L ocutionary act(发话行为)is the saying of something which is meaningful and can be understood.I llocutionary act (行事行为)is using asentence to perform a function,related to the speaker’s i ntention.P erlocutionary act(取效行为) is the result or effects that are produced by means of saying something.4.Categories of speech acts by Searle1. Representative(阐述类):stating or describing,saying what the speaker believes to betrue . I swear…)2. Directives(指令类): trying to get thehearer to do something..Your money or yourlife.)3. Commissives(承诺类):committing the speakerhimself to some future course ofaction. . I promise..)4. Expressive(表情类):expressing feelings orattitude towards an existing state. Thank you…)5. Declarations(宣告类): bring about immediatechanges by saying something.. you are fired...)theory of conversational implicature 会话含义理论The second major theory in the study of language in use proposed by Herbert Paul Grice: Logic and Conversation.1)Definition: Conversational implicature is a typeof meaning, which is deduced on thebasis of the conventional meaning ofwords together with the context,under the guidance of the CP and itsmaxims2)Characteristics of implicature:calculability(可计算性)cancellability/ defeasibility(可删除性/可取消性)Non-detachability(非可分离性)Non-conventionality(非规约性)1. The cooperative principle合作原则: The co-operation between speakers in using theconversational maxims is called the cooperativeprinciple.maxim对话准则: an unwritten rule about conversation which people know and whichinfluences the form of conversational exchanges Grice introduced 4 categories of maxims:a. the maxim of Quantityb. the maxim ofQualityc. the maxim of Relationd. the maxim ofManne rdevelopments1) Relevance theory 关联理论Definition:Every act of ostensivecommunication communicates the presumption of itsown optimal relevance.(每一个明示交际行为都传递一种假设:该行为本身具备最适宜关联)2)the Q- and R-principleThese two principle was proposed by Laurence Horn①The Q-principle is intended to invoke the firstmaxim of Grice’s Quantity, and the R-principlethe Relation maxim, but the new principles aremore extensive than the Gricean maxims.②Horn reduces all the Gricean maxims to twoprinciples: the Q- and R-principleA. The Q-principle (hearer- based):Make your contribution sufficientSay as much as you canB. The R-principle (speaker-based):Make your contribution necessarySay no more than you mustIn other words, the Q-principle is concerned with the content. The R- principle, on the other hand, is concerned with the form.Chapter 11Linguistic and Foreign Language Teaching1.D efinition:SLA: Second language acquisition 二语习得CPH :Critical Period Hypothesis 关键期假设UG:Universal Grammar 普遍语法LAD:Language Acquisition Device 语言习得基质IL:Interlanguage 中介语CA:Contrastive Analysis对比分析EA: Error Analysis 错误分析2.Universal Grammar 普遍语法Universal grammar holds that there are certain basic structural rules that govern language that allhumans know without having to learn them.3. Input and language learningLanguage Acquisition Device 语言习得基质·Krashen’s Input Hypothesis1)There were two independent means or routes of second language learning: acquisition andlearning.Acquisition is a process similar to the waychildren acquire their first language.Learning as another route is a consciouslearning of the second language knowledge bylearning the rules and talking about therules.2)Krashen put forward that learners advance their language learning gradually byreceiving “comprehensible input”. Hedefined comprehensible input as “i+1”:“i” represents learners’ current state ofknowledge, the next stage is i+1.4.Inter language (IL,中介语):Definition: is defined as an abstract system oflearners’ target language system, it has nowbeen widely used to refer to the linguisticexpressions learners produce (especially thewrong or not idiomatic ones) or learner language.analysis and error analysis 对比分析与错误分析Contrastive analysis (CA) is a way of comparinglanguages in order to determine potential errorsfor the ultimate purpose of isolating what needsto be learned and what does not need to belearned in a second language learning situation.The goal is to predict what areas will be easy tolearn and what areas will be difficult to learn.Error analysis (EA) involves, first independentlyor objectively, describing the learner’sinterlanguage (that is, their version of thetarget language and the target language itself),then a comparison of the two is followed tolocate mismatches.Two main sorts of errors:interlingual errors 语际错误 intralingualerrors 语内错误.。

语言学概论期末复习资料整理

语言学概论复习资料一、名词解释1.语言的主观性:说话者在话语中表达自己的情感、态度、意图。

(互动的另一方面包括受话人受到影响,做出相应的语言或行动上的反馈。

)3.心理现实:贮存在人脑的人对客观现实认知的成果,是关于客观现实的各种知识信息。

其来源:①感官对客观现实的直接感知,经脑神经综合处理转化为记忆信息;②对语言文字的接收处理。

4.颤音:舌尖或小舌连续颤动而发出的音。

(是舌尖、小舌这两个柔软的尖状物处在十分放松并有气流的冲击的状态下连续颤动而发出的音。

)例如:俄语中的Р(如РУка,手)是舌尖颤音[r]。

5.闪音:舌头颤动一次发出的音。

例如:英语very中的处于弱读音节的r[?]。

6.区别特征:具体语言中有区别音位作用的发音特征。

每一个音位都可以分解为几个不同的区别特征。

例如汉语普通话/ɑ/音位有不圆唇和舌位低两个发音特征;某个音位利用哪些特征和其他音位对立,这由该特征在音位系统中所处的地位而定。

例如:英语音位用清/p/浊/b/对立而不同于汉语普通话的用是否送气来区别。

8.成句范畴:语气(陈述、疑问、祈使、感叹)、情态、时、语态等句子功能意义类别。

成句范畴有一定的表达形式,例如疑问句语气可以用语调或虚词表达。

9.黏着语:只以黏着语素替换作为表示语法关系的主要手段的语言。

例如土耳其语、维吾尔语、芬兰语等。

11.中心意义:离开上下文后人们最熟悉的意义,它大多同本义一致,有时同本义不一致。

中心意义是从多义词在某个时代各义项之间的关系的角度分析出的。

例如,单独取出“兵”这个词,一般人首先想到的是“兵士”的意义。

二、相近概念的辨析1.语言和言语答:(1)语言是人类最重要的交际工具,是人们进行沟通交流的各种表达符号。

言语是说出来的话;说出来的一个词。

(2)语言与言语的区别:①语言是交际工具,非自由的,组词成句的规则有限;②言语即说话,运用交际工具,是自由的,创造新句无限。

(3)语言与言语的关系:①言语是对特定语言的具体运用;例如:他不言语。

《语言学概论复习题》导言1、历史比较语言学用历史比较的方法对不同语言进行比较分析,确定语言间的亲缘关系和历史发展,旨在重建亲属语言的原始母语,这样的语言研究叫做历史比较语言学。

代表人物有葆朴、拉斯克、格里木、施莱赫尔。

2、理论语言学以人类所有语言为研究对象,综合各种具体语言的研究成果,探索人类语言的起源、本质和一般规律。

《语言学概论》属于理论语言学的入门书,从理论上探讨人类语言的一般原理,主要包括三个问题:语言本质论、语言结构论、语言发展论。

3、什么是语言?语言是人类赖以交际和思维的音义结合的符号系统,一般有口语和书面语两种表现形式。

4、为什么说语言学既是一门古老的科学,又是一门年轻的科学?首先,语言研究具有悠久的历史,是一门古老的科学。

语言活动深入人类社会生活的一切领域,只要有人活动的地方就需要语言,人类很早就注意到了语言的重要性,很早就注重语言的研究。

在语文学时期,语言研究就和各种古文献的研究联系在一起。

它的内容和成果主要从一些政治、哲学、历史、宗教、文学、考古学等内容中体现出来。

古代的中国、印度、希腊-罗马是语言学的三大发源地。

人们通过对典籍的注解进行早起的语言学研究。

比如中国在这一阶段根据阅读典籍的需要来分析汉字,逐渐形成了以文字、音韵、训诂为主的传统语文学“小学”。

这些说明了语言学一门古老的科学。

其次,直到19世纪,比较语言学产生,后来经过发展又产生了语言学的各个部门,语言学才成为了一个独立的学科存在。

相比于其他的科学,语言学出现时间较晚,它是随着资本主义的发展和各族人民交往的日益频繁而逐渐产生的,属于比较年轻的科学。

西欧的文艺复兴,中国的五四运动都为语言学的发展创造了条件。

此外,语言学还与其他学科紧密相联。

由于语言的产生和物理、生理、心理等学科有关,现代汉语中的语言又和数学等科学有联系。

语言学和其他学科联系在一起有产生了社会语言学、心理语言学、统计语言学等。

这些也说明语言学是一门年轻的科学。

(完整word)岑运强主编的语言学概论期末资料复习,重点

总论:一、语言学的性质和任务专门研究人类语言的学科叫做语言学。

语言学是高校中文系必修的专业基础课。

大学中文系的语言学课程包括古代汉语、现代汉语和语言学概论等.古代汉语课程主要研究中国古代的语言,包括上古、中古、近代等若干阶段;现代汉语课程主要研究五四以来的语言;语言学概论不但涉及以上两门课程内容,还涉及大量外语知识,具有明显的交叉性,着重从理论上去研究语言.它着重在理论上对人类语言的共同规律进行研究,而这种研究又必须建立在个别的、实际的语言研究的基础上。

索绪尔对语言学的分类:1、语言的语言学和言语的语言学.2、历时语言学(研究语言历史)和共时语言学(研究语言现状)3、微观(内部)语言学和宏观(外部)语言学五段两线解放1、五段:(1)语文学阶段:研究古文献和书面语的学问。

目的让人读懂古文献,而不在于研究语言。

使得语言研究成为其他学科的附庸,还没有成为一门独立的科学.(2)历史比较语言学阶段19世纪初,英国人威廉·琼斯提出“印欧语假设”,成为历史比较语言学的先驱。

德国学者施列格尔提出“比较语法”,是历史比较语言学的草创者。

这以后,一大批学者建立了一套科学的历史比较方法,找出了不同语言的亲属关系,产生了历史比较语言学。

从而把语言研究从哲学、逻辑学等学科的附庸地位中解放出来,标志语言学已经成为一门真正独立学科。

19世纪中期,从理论上研究语言一般规律的普通语言学诞生。

奠基人先后分别是德国人洪堡特与瑞士人索绪尔。

(3)结构主义语言学阶段结构主义鼻祖——索绪尔结构主义语言学派又分为三派:布拉格学派(功能派)、哥本哈根学派(符号派)、美国派(描写派,影响最大)掌握每个学派2名代表人物。

结构主义语言学派推崇直接成分分析法(层次分析法)。

结构主义语言学派对中国的语言研究产生过巨大的影响。

(4)形式语言学阶段美国转换生成语法创始人-—乔姆斯基,目标是一个能生成所有句子的语法系统,主要包括生成和转换两个方面。

语言学概论期末突击复习资料.doc

一、名词解释1、语言类型:词根语——又称孤立语,其特点是缺乏形态变化,语法意义主要靠词序和虚词来表示。

汉语就是一种比较典型的词根语,例如,“我喜欢他”中的“我”是主语,“他”是宾语,主要取决于词序。

又如,“买菜”是述宾结构,“买的菜”是偏正结构,主要取决于虚词。

除汉语外,属词根语的还有越南语、彝语、苗语、缅甸语等。

屈折语一屈折语的特点是通过各种屈折方式来表示语法意义。

屈折可以分为内部屈折和外部屈折两种。

内部屈折是通过词的语音交替(改变部分语音)来构成不同的语法形式,表示不同的语法意义。

如英语的foot (脚,单数),feet (脚,复数)。

外部屈折是通过附加词缀的方式表示不同的语法意义。

如英语的book (单数,书)在后面加上词缀-s,就表示复数意义books (复数,书)。

屈折语的一个构形词缀可以同时表示几种不同的语法意义。

印欧语系各语言以及阿拉伯语等,一般都属于屈折语,德语和俄语最为典型。

2、条件变体与自由变体:条件变体一一音位的条件变体是指那些出现条件受环境限制的音位变体,即一个音位的各个变体从不在相同的语音环境中出现,只出现在不同的语音环境下,处于互补分布的状态。

例如英语的/p/、/〃、/k/三个辅音音位,当它们出现在词首时是送气的(如kill[k'il]),而出现在/s/后就变为不送气的了(skill[skil] )。

自由变体一一音位的自由变体是指那些在相同的语音环境中可以无条件变读的音位变体,即一个音位的各个变体可以自由替换而不会造成意义的改变。

3、语法形式与语法范畴语法形式一语法形式是反映词语的组合规则和语法类别的形式标志,是表示语法意义的形式手段,又称语法手段。

语法形式可分显性和隐性两种。

显性语法形式可以直接感知,主要包括语序、虚词、词缀、重叠以及各种语音形式。

隐性语法形式不能直接感知,但可通过能否组合、替换、扩展、变换等方式分析抽象出来。

语法范畴一一语法范畴有广义和狭义之分,广义的语法范畴是各种语法形式表示的语法意义的概括。
