名词解释 Extension of meaning, also known as generalization, is the name given to the widening of meaning which some words undergo. It is a process by which a word which originally had a specialized meaning has now become generalized.词义的扩大也被称为普遍化,是指词的意义的扩展。这是一个词的词义从表达某一专门的意义转化到表示概括意义的过程。 Narrowing of meaning, also called specialization, is the opposite of widening 16 meaning. It is a process by which a word of wide meaning acquires a narrower or specialized sense. 词义的缩小也称为词义的具体,与词义的扩大相反。这是意义范围较大的词向意义较小的的方向演变的过程 Elevation or amelioration refers to the process by which words rise from humble beginnings to positions of importance.词义的的升格是指原来表示低微意义的词转而成为表示重要意义的词的词义演变过程。 Degradation or pejoration of meaning is the opposite of semantic elevation. It is a process whereby words of good origin fall into ill reputation or non-affective words come to be used in derogatory sense. 词义的降格与语义的升格相反,这是词从表示褒扬或中性的意义向表示贬义的意义的演变的过程 Blending is the formation of new words by combining parts of two words or a word plus a part of another word. Words formed in this way are called blends or pormanteau words. 拼缀法是通过合并两个词的某些部分或一个词与另外一个词的另一部分相加起来构成新词。以此种方式构成的词被称作为拼缀词或拼缀。 Another common way of making a word is to shorten a longer word by cutting a part off the original and using what remains instead. This is called clipping.-另一个常见的构词法时将原词的一部分截去,只用剩下来的一部分构成新词,这种方法叫截短法。 Acronymy is the process of forming new words by joining the initial letters of names of social and political organizations or special noun phrases and technical terms. Words formed in this way are called initialisms or acronyms, depending on the pronunciation of the words.首字母拼音法是将社会组织、特殊的名词词组或技术术语的首字母连起来构成新词的方法。以这种方法构成的词根根据其读音不同又分别叫做首字母缩略词和首字母拼音词。 Back-formation is considered to be the opposite process of suffixation. Words created through back-formation are mostly verbs. 逆生法被认为是后缀法的队里过程。由逆生法生成的词多半是动词。 Morphemes are abstract units, which are realized in speech by discrete units known as morphs. They are actual spoken, minimal carriers of meaning. The morpheme is to the morph what a phoneme is to a phone. -词素(形位)是抽象的单位,是由分立的形素在话语中具体实现的。“形素”是实际说出来的最小的意义携带体形位与形素的关系同音位与因素的关系一样。 Some morphemes, however, are realized by more than one morph according to their position in a word. Such alternative morphs are known as allomorphs.有些词素根据它们在词中的位置不同可有一个以上的不同形素实现,这些不同的形素叫词素变体。 Derivational affixes. As the term indicates, derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. Derivational affixes can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes. Prefixes come before the ward and the suffixes after the word.派生词缀。是加在其他词

英汉词汇文化内涵对比研究 摘要 词汇是语言的载体,是沟通和交流的基础,是文化的组成部分,同时也具有文化内涵。文化,是语言发展的成果,是社会意识形态的集中反映,影响着社会生活,也影响着词汇的发展和变迁。英汉词汇因所属国的文化历史国情不同而具有不同的文化内涵,集中体现在构词、语义和词义上等等。本文通过分析对比英汉词汇文化内涵上的差异及其原因,旨在指导读者正确认识不同语言间的文化差异,更好地联系文化内涵深入地了解词汇的相关知识,从而在对语言的把握上提高一个层次。 关键词:词汇,对比,文化内涵,文化差异 1. 引言 人类社会在发展过程中产生了语言和文化,在语言的各个组成成分中,最能反映民族文化特征的是该民族语言的词汇,词汇背后反映的是该民族的文化认知方式。英汉词汇因本民族的文化成就而有所差异,通过对比研究这两种语言的文化内涵,不仅可以凸显被对比语言的共性和特性,有重要的学术价值,也有利于有针对性地制定学习和教学策略,更可以为语言的综合研究提供相关资料,为词汇学的发展做出积极贡献。 2. 文化内涵 2.1 文化内涵的定义 英国人类学家爱德华·泰勒于1871年提出——文化是一个复合整体,包括知识、信仰、艺术、道德、法律、习俗以及作为一个社会成员的人所习得的其他一切能力和习惯。这是以后文化被重复和扩展定义的基础。文化具有传承性,动态性,民族性和多样性,文化作为一种历史现象,不同民族拥有不同文化,不同的文化之间既有共性又有个性。语言作为文化的载体,语言的使用离不开作为社会河文化成员的人以及使用的语言环境。 2.2 文化与词汇的联系

3.3 谚语 谚语是心理,语言与文化的综合产物。英汉中存在具有共同比喻的谚语,如:火上浇油——pour oil in the flame 半斤八两——sin and half dozen 破釜沉舟——burn one's boats 以牙还牙——a tooth for a tooth 但由于两个民族有各自独特的文化背景和各自独特的风俗习惯,思维方式,因此谚语联想,引申和比喻上有很大的不同。例如汉语“拍马屁”取自古人讨好某人时,用手拍主人的马的屁股,说,“好马,好马”,而英语对应的意思是lick one's boots,舔靴子之意,再如:害群之马——black sheep;一箭之遥——at a stone’s throw; 掌上明珠——the apple of one’s eye; 棋逢对手——diamond cuts diamond.这些谚语后都蕴含着各自的文化信息。英语有时从字面上表达一个意思,实际上整体意义完全不同,如pull one’s leg——拉后腿,前者是“戏弄人”的意思,后者是“阻挠或牵制别人的行为”。再如,move heaven and earth 不是天翻地覆的意思,而是竭尽全力的意思。类似的谚语还有很多。 4. 英汉词汇文化内涵差异产生的原因 4.1 构词方法不同 英汉语在构词法上既有共性,又存在一定的差异,具有各自的特殊性。汉英语属于两种差异较大的语言类型,从来源来看,汉语属于汉藏语系,英语属于印欧语系;从类型上讲,汉语属于分析语,英语属于综合分析语;汉语是象形表意文字,英语是表音文字,汉语重意合,而英语重形合,这些都取决于汉英两种民族不同的思维方式和民族心理素质,不同的思维方式和民族心理素质就会产生不同的语言形式,这些自然也会在构词上有所体现。 4.2 思维方式和认知方式不同 总体而言,汉族人的认知方法倾向于感性和具体,而西方人认知方法比较理想和抽象。汉语数词的使用频率远高于英语的数词就可以说明这个问题,如,“五体投地”,“八面埋伏”,“九死一生”,“十全十美”,“三思而行”等等。西方文化是一种重分析性,实证性和逻辑性的认识文化,要求周密,精确和明细

《词汇学》教案

《词汇学》课程教学大纲 适用专业:对外汉语、汉语言文学专业 学时:36 先修课程:古代汉语现代汉语 一、本课程的地位和作用 汉语词汇学,与文字学、音韵学、训诂学、语法学都是汉语言专业的一门专业课,是有关汉语的重要内容之一。通过汉语词汇学这门课程的学习,使学生初步了解并掌握古代汉语词汇方面的初步知识及古代汉语词汇的一般特点,了解古今汉语词汇方面的内在联系,为今后从事汉语教学和进一步研究汉语词汇打下扎实的基础。 二、本课程的教学目标 本课程的开设,主要是为培养学生了解古今汉语词汇的语音特点、意义和一般用法,从汉语词汇知识中吸取营养,充实自己,在现实生活的语言交流和交际之中正确运用汉语的词汇。同时,也为进一步研究汉语词汇打基础。 三、课程内容和基本要求 汉语词汇学的主要内容和基础知识,主要是研究汉语词汇的类别、词的语音特征、词的语音形式、演变及其规律,词汇的构成和构

成方式、词义及词义特点、词义的演变、古今词义的异同、词的同义反义现象、同类词、同源词、同音词,词汇研究的方式、手段、词汇学史等方面的内容,要求对这些知识有个一般的了解和基本的掌握,最好能够运用这些知识去研究汉语中所出现的具体的语言现象。 第一章序论 一、词汇学的对象和分科 1、任何语言都有自己的语音系统、词汇和语法构造,语言的这三个组成部分在语言学上都有相应的学科来进行研究。词汇学就是其中以词和词汇作为研究对象的一门学科。所谓词汇就是语言里的词和词的等价物(如固定词组)的总和。词汇中包括实词和虚词,词汇学的研究重点是实词。因为有的虚词词汇意义已经弱化,有的甚至完全失去了词汇意义,只剩下语法意义,所以它们主要是语法学研究的对象。 2、在中国语言学史上,词汇的研究比语音和语法的研究都开始得早,这就是所谓训诂”。最古的一部训诂书《尔雅》写成于西汉时代。到了清朝乾嘉时代。训诂学更有了高度的发展,段玉裁(1735--1815)、王念孙(1744--1832),王引之(1766--1834)等人把这门学问推进到了一个崭新的历史阶段。此外,我国的词典编纂工作开创之早与规模之大也是举世闻名的。 3、欧洲语言学发展的情况与此不同,开始得最早的是语法的研究。语音和词汇的研究在长时期内只是语法学的附庸。到了十九世纪,语音学和词汇学才逐渐成为独立的语言学学科。但是跟语音学和语法学比较起来,词汇学直到今天还是比较落后的。

英语词汇学期末论文 题目:浅析英语词汇巧记法 专业:英语 班级:13级3班 学号:201313010309 姓名:黄旷静 完成时间:2015年1月14号

浅析英语词汇巧记法 摘要:词汇是英语学习的基础,没有足够的词汇量就不可能高水平的掌握英语这门外语,而浩瀚的词汇海洋让很多人望而生畏。尽管花费了大量时间精力去背,记忆的效果却差强人意,原因就在于没有使用科学的方法记忆词汇。其实,世间万物都是有规律性的,英语单词的组词与构词方法也有规律,了解了它的规律有利于我们有效甚至高效学习英语单词。为了提高单词记忆的效率,本文从不同方面介绍几种记忆方法。 关键词:词汇科学记忆规律效率 一.读音记忆法 1.拼读法 英语是拼音文字,英语中的单词的读音大多是有规律的,熟悉字母及字母组合的发音规则,掌握正确的拼法与读音之间的关系,可以根据单词的读音,降低记忆难度,正确地拼写单词。 例如ay读[ei]。带有ay字母组合的词,如say,day,way,pay,may,play,spray,不仅发音容易,而且拼写也没有任何困难。Sh ch tion ture 等也都有固定读音,ee发音为i: culture 文化pasture牧场mature 成熟的architecture 建筑学带有true的单词也都能很方便的记忆下来

2.谐音法 尽管有些人认为用这种谐音记忆法记忆单词不科学,不利于正确掌握发音,但实践证明,对尚未掌握外语的构词特点和记词规律的初学者来说,采用谐音法记单词确实能有效地记住一部分难记的单词。但是,在用谐音法记单词时需要特别注意,绝不可将其作为模仿发音的依据,只能作为记忆单词时的谐音联想手段,以加强记忆,而必须按照单词的标准发音去读记,以避免这种记词法干扰正确发音。用谐音法记单词是,根据外语单词的读音到中文中寻找与其读音相似的谐音,寻找到谐音与单词的联系。用这种方法甚至可能达到终身不忘,这也正是谐音记忆法的绝妙之处。 例如:mouth嘴[联想:说话“冒失”的就是嘴] think想[联想:想时要“深刻”] 二.联想法 1.拆分联想 科学研究表明:联想是记忆的基础。世界著名的生理学家巴甫洛夫指出:"记忆要依靠联想,而联想则是新旧知识建立联系的产物。”联想法是联想记忆的进一步运用和发展。它是指学习者展开积极丰富的想象力,使所要记忆的知识生动、形象化,通过联想在新旧知识(如英语熟词词义与生词词义)之间建立起一种联系,从而达到以旧带新、快速记忆的目的。
