psycholinguistics:Psycholinguistics is the study of psychological aspects of language; it usually studies the psychological states and mental activity associated with the use of language. As an interdisciplinary academic field based on psychology and linguistics, psycholinguistics investigates the six following subjects: language acquisition, language comprehension, language production, language disorders, language and thought, and cognitive architecture of language, The most important research subjects are acquisition, comprehension and production.

language acquisition: Language acquisition is one of the central topics in psycholinguistics. Acquiring a first language is something every child does successfully, in a matter of a few years and without the need for formal lessons. Four phases are identified and acknowledged in the process of language acquisition: holophrastic stage, two-word stage, three-word utterances, and, Fluent grammatical conversation stage. holophrastic stage:Holophrastic stage is the first phase of language acquisition. The main linguistic accomplishments during this stage are control of the speech musculature and sensitivity to the phonetic distinctions used in the parents' language. Shortly before their first birthday, babies begin to understand words, and around that birthday, they start to produce them. At this stage, words are usually produced in isolation; this one-word stage can last from two months to a year. About half the words are for objects: food, body parts, clothing, vehicles, toys, household items, animals. There are words for actions, motions, and routines.

two-word stage:Two-word stage is the second phase of language acquisition. Around 18 months, the child begins to learn words at a rate of one every two waking hours, and keeps learning that rate or faster through adolescence. The primitive syntax begins with two-word strings. Children announce when objects appear, disappear, and move about, point out their properties and owners, comment on people doing things and seeing things, reject and request objects and activities, and ask about who, what, and where. These sequences already reflect the

language being acquired: in 95% of them, the words are properly ordered.

three-word utterances: Three-word utterances stage is the third phase of language acquisition. Three-word utterances look like samples drawn from longer potential sentences expressing a complete and more complicated idea. For example, although the children never produced a sentence as complicated as Mother gave John lunch in the kitchen, they did produce strings containing all of its components in the correct order.

connectionism:With respect to language comprehension, connectionism in psycholinguistics claims that readers use the same system of links between spelling units and sound units to generate the pronunciations of written words and to access the pronunciations of familiar words, or words that are exceptions to these patterns. In this view, similarity and frequency play important roles in processing and comprehending language, with the novel items being processed based on their similarity to the known ones.

cohort model: The cohort model is a supposed doctrine dealing with the spoken word recognition postulated by Marslen-Wilson and Welsh in 1990, it is suggested that the first few phonemes of a spoken word activate a set or cohort of word candidates that are consistent with the input. These candidates compete with one another for activation. As more acoustic input is analyzed, candidates that are no longer consistent with the input drop out of the set. This process continues until only one word candidate matches the input; the best fitting word may be chosen if no single candidate is a clear winner.

interactive model: The interactive model holds that in recognizing the spoken words higher processing levels have a direct, “top-down” influence on lower levels. Lexical knowledge can affect the perception of phonemes. There is interactivity in the form of lexical effects on the perception of sublexical unit s. In certain cases, listeners’ knowledge of words can lead to the inhibition of certain phonemes; in other cases, listeners continue to “hear” phonemes that have been removed from the speech signal and replaced by noise.

race model: The race model suggests in spoken word recognition there are two routes that race each other -- a pre-lexical route, which computes phonological information from the acoustic signal, and a lexical route, in which the phonological information associated with a word becomes available when the word itself is accessed. When word-level information appears to affect a lower-level process, it is assumed that the lexical route won the race.

serial model: Serial model proposes that the sentence comprehension system continually and sequentially follows the constraints of a language’s grammar with remarkable speed. Serial model describes how the processor quickly constructs one or more representations of a sentence based on a restricted range of information that is guaranteed to be relevant to its interpretation, primarily grammatical information. Any such representation is then quickly interpreted and evaluated, using the full range of information that might be relevant.

parallel model:Parallel model emphasize s that the comprehension system is sensitive to a vast range of information, including grammatical, lexical, and contextual, as well as knowledge of the speaker/writer and of the world in general. Parallel model describes how the processor uses all relevant information to quickly evaluate the full range of possible interpretations of a sentence. It is generally acknowledged that listeners and readers integrate grammatical and situational knowledge in understanding a sentence.

resonance model:The resonance model is a model about text comprehension, in this model, information in long-term memory is automatically activated by the presence of material that apparently bears a rough semantic relation to it. Semantic details, including factors such as negation that drastically change the truth of propositions, do not seem to affect the resonance process. It emphasized a more active and intelligent search for meaning as the basis by which a reader discovers the conceptual structure of a discourse. In reading a narrative text, reader attempts to build a representation of the causal structure of the text, analyzing events in terms of goals, actions, and reactions. A resonance process serves as a first stage in processing a text, and,

reading objectives and details of text structure determine whether a reader goes further and searches for a coherent structure for the text.

construal:Construal is the ability to conceive and portray the same situation in alternate ways through specificity, different mental scanning, directionality, vantage point, figure-ground segregation etc.

construal operations:Construal operations are conceptualizing processes used in language process by human beings. That is, construal operations are the underlying psychological processes and resources employed in the interpretation of linguistic expressions.

figure-ground alignment: Figure-ground alignment seems to apply to space with the ground as the prepositional object and the preposition expressing the spatial relational configuration. It also applies to human perception of moving objects. Since the moving object is typically the most prominent one, because it is moving, it is typically the figure, while the remaining stimuli constitute the ground.

trajector: Trajector means a moving or dynamic figure.

landmark: Landmark means the ground provided for a moving figure.

basic level category: Basic level category is the most economical level at which you can find the most relevant information. The information on our interactions with objects in the real world are stored at this level. It is at this level that we conjure up the general gestalt of the category. subordinate level: Subordinate level is the level at which we perceive the differences between the members of the basic level categories.

image schema:Image schema is a recurring, dynamic pattern of our perceptual interactions and motor programs that gives coherence and structure to our experience.

metaphor:Metaphor involves the comparison of two concepts in that one is construed in terms of the other. It’s often described in terms of a target domain and a source domain. The target domain is the experience being described by the metaphor and the source domain is the means that we use in order to describe the experience.

metonymy:Metonymy is a figure of speech that has to do with the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another.

ontological metaphors:Ontological metaphors mean that human experiences with physical objects provide the basis for ways of viewing events, activities, emotions, ideas, etc., as entities and substances.

structural metaphors:Structural metaphors play the most important role because they allow us to go beyond orientation and referring and give us the possibility to structure one concept according to another.

generic space: Generic space maps onto each of the inputs. It reflects some common, usually more abstract, structure and organization shared by the inputs. It defines the core cross-space mapping between them.

blend space:Blend space is the fourth space onto which is partially projected by inputs I1 and I2.

Psycholinguistics is the study of psychological aspects of language; it usually studies the psychological states and mental activity associated with the use of language. Most problems in psycholinguistics are more concrete, involving the study of language acquisition especially in children and linguistic performance such as producing and comprehending utterances or sentences among adults. An important focus of psycholinguistics is the largely unconscious application of grammatical rules that enable people to produce and comprehend intelligible sentences. Psycholinguists investigate the relationship between language and thought, a perennial subject of debate being whether language is a function of thinking or thought a function of the use of language. Psycholinguistics is also concerned with how languages are learned, and the role they play in our thinking.

As an interdisciplinary study of language and psychology, psycholinguistics has its roots in structural linguistics on the one hand, and in cognitive psychology on the other hand. It is also closely related to a set of other disciplines, such as anthropology, or the neurosciences. The work of Chomsky and other proponents of transformational

grammar have had a marked influence on the field. In the 1960s and early 1970s numerous psychologists and linguists used the transformational-generative model proposed by Chomsky to discover how children come to know the grammatical processes that underlie the speech they hear and to investigate the processing and comprehension of language; spoken or written. And now, psycholinguistics has been turning increasingly to other functionally related and socially oriented models of language structure. Experts use experiments to investigate such topics as short-term and long-term memory, perceptual strategies, speech perception based on linguistic models, the brain activity involved in language use, and language impaired due to brain damage, cognition and language.

It is customary to distinguish six subjects of research within psycholinguistics:

1) Acquisition: how does a child acquire the language skills (first language acquisition) and how are they extended to other languages (second/foreign language acquisition)?

2) Comprehension: how is the acoustic or visual signal linguistically interpreted by the hearer or reader?

3) Production: how is the information that somebody wants to convey transformed into acoustic waves, or written characters?

4) Disorders: what causes the occurrence of transient or more permanent disturbances of the speech and language processing systems?

5) Language and thought: what role does human language play in thinking? And what differences do different languages make to how we think?

6) Neurocognition: how is the cognitive architecture of language and language processing implemented in the human brain, i.e., what is the cerebral-functional architecture of our language faculty? Here, we will focus on the former three subjects, say, acquisition comprehension and production.

3.

Language acquisition is one of the central topics in psycholinguistics. Possessing a language is the quintessentially human trait: all normal humans speak, no nonhuman animal does. Learning a first language is something every child does successfully, in a matter of a few years and

without the need for formal lessons. With language so close to the core of what it means to be human, it is not surprising that children's acquisition of language has received so much attention. Anyone with strong views about the human mind would like to show that children's first few steps are steps in the right direction.

Language acquisition begins very early in the human lifespan, and begins, with the acquisition of a language's sound patterns. The main linguistic accomplishments during the first year of life are control of the speech musculature and sensitivity to the phonetic distinctions used in the parents' language.

Around 18 months, language changes in two ways. Vocabulary growth increases; the child begins to learn words at a rate of one every two waking hours, and will keep learning that rate or faster through adolescence.

Children's two- and three-word utterances look like samples drawn from longer potential sentences expressing a complete and more complicated idea.

Between the late two-word and mid-three-word stage, children's language blooms into fluent grammatical conversation rapidly, sentence length increases steadily. Because grammar is a combinatorial system, the number of syntactic types increases exponentially, doubling every month, reaching the thousands before the third birthday. Normal children can differ by a year or more in their rate of language development, though the stages they pass through are generally the same regardless of how stretched out or compressed and many children speak in complex sentences before they turn two.

4.

Word lays in the central position in language comprehension because of its extremely important role in transmitting the meaning. Word recognition can be viewed in terms of recognition of spoken words and printed ones.

The perception of spoken words is an important task for language user. It seems that human is well adapted for the perception of speech because we usually seem to perceive speech automatically and with little effort. Speech is distributed in time, a fleeting signal that has few reliable cues to the boundaries between sound segments and words. How listeners hear a sequence of discrete units even though the

acoustic signal itself is continuous is the core question in this subfield of psycholinguistics. Features of speech could cause difficulty for listeners, for example, some phonemes may be omitted in conversational speech, some may change their pronunciations depending on the surrounding sounds (e.g., /n/ may be pronounced as [m] in lean bacon), and many words have “everyday” pronunciations (e.g., going to frequently becomes gonna). Listeners attempt to map the acoustic signal onto a representation in the mental lexicon almost as the signal starts to arrive. According to cohort model proposed by Marslen-Wilson and Welsh in 1990, the first few phonemes of a spoken word activate a set or cohort of word candidates that are consistent with the input. These candidates compete with one another for activation. As more acoustic input is analyzed, candidates that are no longer consistent with the input drop out of the set. This process continues until only one word candidate matches the input; the best fitting word may be chosen if no single candidate is a clear winner. For example, to an instruction “pick up the candle” listeners sometimes glance first at a picture of a candy. This suggests that a set of words beginning with /k?n/ is briefly activated. Listeners may glance at a picture of a handle, too, suggesting that the cohort of word candidates also includes words that rhyme with the target. The interactive model holds that higher processing levels have a direct, “top-down” influence on lower levels. Lexical knowledge can affect the perception of phonemes. There is interactivity in the form of lexical effects on the perception of sublexical units. In certain cases, listeners’ knowledge of words can lead to the inhibition of certain phonemes; in other cases, listeners continue to “hear” phonemes that have been removed fro m the speech signal and replaced by noise. The race model does not agree “top-down” effects, it has two routes that race each other--a pre-lexical route, which computes phonological information from the acoustic signal, and a lexical route, in which the phonological information associated with a word becomes available when the word itself is accessed. When word-level information appears to affect a lower-level process, it is assumed that the lexical route won the race.

Listeners’ knowledge of language and i ts patterns facilitates perception in some ways. For example, listeners use phonotactic information such as the fact that initial /tl/ is illegal in English to help

identify phonemes and word boundaries. Listeners also use their knowledge that English words are often stressed on the first syllable to help parse the speech signal into words. These types of knowledge help us solve the segmentation problem in a language that we know.

Print serves as a map of linguistic structure, readers use the clues to morphological structure that are embedded in orthography in reading the printed words. For example, they know that the prefix re- can stand before free morphemes such as print and do, yielding the two-morpheme words reprint and redo. Encountering vive, reads may wrongly judge it to be a word because of its familiarity with revive. Phonology and other aspects of linguistic structure are retrieved in reading. In printed word recognition, there is a question about how linguistic structure is derived from print. One idea is that two different processes are available for converting orthographic representations to phonological representations. A lexical route is used to look up the phonological forms of known words in the mental lexicon; this procedure yields correct pronunciations for exception words such as love. A nonlexical route accounts for the productivity of reading: It generates pronunciations for novel letter strings (e.g., tove) as well as for regular words (e.g., stove) on the basis of smaller units. This latter route gives incorrect pronunciations for exception words, so that these words may be pronounced slowly or erroneously (e.g., love said as /l?v/) in speeded word naming tasks. connectionist theories claim that a single set of connections from orthography to phonology can account for performance on both regular words and exception words.

Another question about orthography-to-phonology translation concerns its grain size. English, which has been the subject of much of the research on word recognition, has a rather irregular writing system. For example, ea corresponds to /i/ in bead but /?/ in dead; c is /k/ in cat but /s/ in city. Such irregularities are particularly common for vowels. Quantitative analyses have shown, however, that consideration of the consonant that follows a vowel can often help to specify the vowel’s pronunciation. Th e /?/ pronunciation of ea, for example, is more likely before d than before m. Such considerations have led to the proposal that readers of English often use letter groups that correspond to the syllable rime (the vowel nucleus plus an optional consonantal coda) in spelling-to-sound translation.

Because spoken words are spread out in time, spoken word recognition is generally considered a sequential process. With many printed words, though, the eye takes in all of the letters during a single fixation. The connectionist models of reading maintain that all phonemes of a word are activated in parallel. Dual-route models, in contrast, claim that the assembly process operates in a serial fashion such that the phonological forms of the leftmost elements are delivered before those for the succeeding elements. Although many questions remain to be answered, it is clear that the visual representations provided by print rapidly make contact with the representations stored in the mental lexicon. Once this contact has been made, it matters little whether the initial input was by eye or by ear. The principles and processing procedures are much the same.

5.

Structural factors in comprehension. Comprehension of written and spoken language can be difficult because it is not always easy to identify the constituents (phrases) of a sentence and the ways in which they relate to one another. Psycholinguists have proposed principles interpreting sentence comprehension with respect to the grammatical constraints. The most popular principle is Minimal attachment which defines “structurally simpler”, and it claims that structural simplicity guides all initial analyses in sentence comprehension. In this view, the sentence processor constructs a single analysis of a sentence and attempts to interpret it. The first analysis is the one that requires the fewest applications of grammatical rules to attach each incoming word into the structure being built; it is the automatic consequence of an effort to get some analysis constructed as soon as possible. Consider the sentence The second wife will claim the inheritance belongs to her. When the inheritance first appears, it could be interpreted as either the direct object of claim or the subject of belongs. It was found that readers’ eyes fixated for longer than usual on the verb belongs, which disambiguates the sentence. They interpreted this result to mean that readers first interpreted the inheritance as a direct object. Readers were disrupted when they had to revise this initial interpretation to the one in which the inheritance is subject of belongs. They described the readers as being led down a garden path because the direct object analysis is structurally simpler than the other possible analysis.

Lexical factors in comprehension. Psycholinguists have proposed that the human sentence processor is primarily guided by information about specific words that is stored in the lexicon. In the sentences like The salesman glanced at a/the customer with suspicion/ripped jeans, the prepositional phrases with suspicion or with ripped jeans could modify either the verb glance or the noun customer. This is true only for action verbs, not for perception verbs like glance at. It has been noted that an actual preference for noun phrase modification only appeared when the noun had the indefinite article a.

Psycholinguists are also interested in the way in which a speaker formulates some intention, or expresses some idea in speech, in a conversational setting or otherwise. Various aspects of process of language production, such as conceptualization and linearization, grammatical and phonological encoding, self-monitoring, self-repair and gesturing during speech have been topics of interest.

The first focus is on the generation of simple utterances. Among the simplest utterances we produce are single words. The ability to produce words is, of course, a core ingredient of the ability to produce larger utterances. Therefore, single word access has been and still is a central research topic. Multiple word utterances require the speaker to run the word access procedure repeatedly. The issue is whether these access procedures overlap in time and whether they mutually interact. In language comprehension, as we have discussed, comprehenders must map the spoken or written input onto entries in the mental lexicon and must generate various levels of syntactic, semantic, and conceptual structure. In language production, people are faced with the converse problem. They must map from a conceptual structure to words and their elements.

7.

Cognitive linguistics is a newly established approach to the study of language that emerged in the 1970s as a reaction against the dominant generative paradigm which pursues an autonomous view of language. Cognitive linguistics is based on human experiences of the world and the way they perceive and conceptualize the world.

8.

Lakoff and Johonson (1980) classify conceptual metaphors into three categories: ontological metaphors, structural metaphors and orientational metaphors.

Ontological metaphors mean that human experiences with physical objects provide the basis for ways of viewing events, activities, emotions, ideas, etc., as entities and substances. Ontological metaphors can serve various purposes. By ontological metaphors we give bounded surfaces to less clearly discrete entities (mountains, hedges, street corners) and categorize events, actions and states as substances. In ontological metaphors it is our experiences of interacting with physical bounded bodies, which provide the basis for categorizing events, activities, ideas etc., as entities and substances.

Structural metaphors play the most important role because they allow us to go beyond orientation and referring and give us the possibility to structure one concept according to another. This means that structural metaphors are grounded in our experience. Structural metaphors imply how one concept is metaphorically structured in terms of another.

Orientational metaphors give a concept a spatial orientation. They are characterized not so much by structuring one concept in terms of another, but by a co-occurrence in our experience. The orientational metaphors are grounded in an experiential basis, which link together the two parts of the metaphor. The link verb “is”, part of the me taphor, should be seen as the link of two different co-occurring experiences. For example, MORE IS UP. This metaphor is grounded in the co-occurrence of two different kinds of experiences: adding more of a substance and perceiving the level of the substance rise. Orientational metaphors are based on human physical and cultural experience. For example, in some cultures the future is in front of us, whereas in others it is in back of us. Now let us study some orientational metaphors and give a brief hint about how each metaphorical concept might have arisen from human physical and cultural experience.

Blending operates on two input mental spaces to produce a third space, the blend. The blend inherits partial structure from the input spaces and has emergent structure of its own. There are some

conditions needed when two input spaces I1and I2are blended: 1) Cross-Space Mapping: there is a partial mapping of counterparts between the input spaces I1 and I2. 2) Generic Space: It maps onto each of the inputs. It reflects some common, usually more abstract, structure and organization shared by the inputs. It defines the core cross-space mapping between them. 3) Blend: the inputs I1and I2are partially projected onto a fourth space, the blend. 4) Emergent Structure: the blend has emergent structure not provided by the inputs. This happens in three interrelated ways: (a) Composition: Take together, the projections from the inputs make new relations available that did not exist in the separate inputs. (b) Completion: Knowledge of background frames, cognitive and cultural models, allows the composite structure projected into the blend from the inputs to be viewed as part of a larger self-contained structure in the blend. The pattern in the blend triggered by the inhe rited structures is “completed” into the larger, emergent structure. (c) Elaboration: The structure in the blend can then be elaborated. This is “running the blend.” It consists in cognitive work performed within the blend, according to its own emergent logic.

The blending theory suggests a new way of thinking about what constitutes a novel inference. Because the mapping operation involves integrated frames rather than isolated predicates, the choice of one particular framing over another necessarily results in a different set of attendant inferences. Besides the acquisition of unknown facts, a novel inference might involve a new construal of a well-understood phenomenon, a change in prominence of a particular element, or simply the availability of connected frames.

Some of these senses of in and out involve clear-cut physical orientation in space, while others involve more abstract nonspatial relations, such as walk in a daze, brush your teeth in a hurry, get lost in the newspaper, enter into a conversation, speak out on some topic. However, they all require some activity of establishing relations, either among physical or among abstract entities or events.

语言学概论作业 Chapter 1 1.How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: linguistics is the scientific study of language? To understand this definition, we should focus on three words in this sentence: scientific, study and language. First of all, scientific here means a study which is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. The linguist studies it to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system. Secondly, the word study here refers to investigation or examination. Thirdly, Language here is general term. It refers to any human language, Chinese spoken by the Chinese, English by the English people, German by the Germans, or even Esperanto, an artificial language. Language here also means the dialects or variants of a common language such as Cantonese, a variant of Mandarin.Therefore, this whole sentence can be interpreted that linguistics is a language study through the systematic investigation of linguistic data and some general theory of language structure. 2.What are the major branches of linguistics? What does each of them study? Phonetics:the study of sounds used in linguistic communication.It describes individual speech sounds and indicates their physical or phonetic properties. Phonology:it studies the ways in which these sounds form patterns and systems and how they work to convey meaning in the system of language. Morphology: a field of linguistics focused on the study of the forms and formation of words in a language Syntax:A set of rules that govern how words are combined to form phrases and sentences. Pragmatics: the study of the use of language in a social context. 3.In what basic ways does modern linguistics differ from traditional grammar? ①Linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive. ②Modern linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written. ③Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework. 4.Is modern linguistics mainly synchronic or diachronic? Why? In modern linguistics, the linguists seem to give priority to synchronic studies other than diachronic ones. Because it is believed that unless the various states of

Discuss the following questions. 4) To what extent is phonology related to phonetics and how do they differ? Phonetics is the branch of linguistics studying the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their description, classification and transcription. Phonology is the study of sound systems that occur in a language and the patterns where they fall in. Minimal pairs, phonemes, allophones, free variation, complementary distribution, etc., are all to be investigated by a phonologist. Both are concerned with the same aspect of language----the speech sounds. But they differ in their approach and focus. Phonetics is of general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages; it focuses on chaos. Phonology aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication. A phonologist studies what he believes are meaningful sounds related with their semantic features, morphological features, and the way they are conceived and printed in the depth of the mind. Phonological knowledge permits a speaker to produce sounds which form meaningful utterances, to recognize a foreign “accent”, to make up new words, to add the appropriate phonetic segments to form plurals and past tenses, to know what is and what is not a sound in one?s language. It focuses on order.

1. Anthropological Study of Linguistics: aims to look at the relationships between language and culture in a speech community. For this reason, it can alternatively be called anthropological linguistics. More specifically, practitioners of the field want to know more about a given community by examining the correlation between the tradition of the community, beliefs, and social behavior of community members and their language use in different contexts of communication. Communication: is an information process taking place between at least two parties or persons. Communicative Competence:is a sociolinguistic rule put forward by Dell Hymes in contrast with the “competence” vs. “performance” dichotomy in theoretic linguistics. Context of Situation: is a framework put forward by Firth. This theory has the following elements (Firth, 1950: 43-44 [Palmer, 1981: 53-54]). A. The relevant features of the participants: persons, personalities: (i) The verbal action of the participants. (ii) The non-verbal action of the participants. B. The relevant objects. C.

徐通锵 叶蜚声 《语言学纲要》学习指导书课后习题答案

《语言学概论》学习辅导书参考答案(导言) 一、名词解释(20分,每小题4分) 1.语言学:就是以语言为研究对象的科学,研究语言的本质、语言的结构和发展规律。 2.小学:指我国传统的语文学,包括文字学、音韵学、训诂学三方面的内容。 3.专语语言学:也叫具体语言学、个别语言学,以一种(或几种有联系的)语言为研究对象,研究某一种语言的结构。 4.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,是从横向的方面研究语言。 5.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,是从纵向的方面研究语言的历史。 二、填空题(20分,每空1分) 1.中国? 印度? 古希腊-罗马具有悠久的历史文化传统,是语言的三大发源地。 2.文字学? 音韵学? 训诂学? 是我国传统的语文学。 3.研究语言的结构,主要是研究语音? 词汇和语义? 语法三个部分。 4.运用语言传递信息的过程,可分为编码? 发送? 传递? 接收解码五个过程 5.专语语言学可以从纵向和横向研究语言,由于研究角度不同,所以又分为历时语言学和共时语言学 6.历史比较语言学的建立,标志着语言学开始走上独立发展的道路。 7.布隆菲尔德的代表着作《语言论》,是美国结构主义语言学的奠基性着作。 8.索绪尔被称为现代语言之父,其代表作有《普通语言学教程》 三、问答题(60分,每小题10分) 1.古代的语言研究和今天的语言研究有哪些不同? ①研究对象不同:古代的语言学主要以书面语为主要研究材料,不重视口头语言的研究,而今天的语言学则十分重视口语研究,如制定语言规范,确立共同语的各方面标准等,都要依据口语的研究成果; ②研究目的不同:古代语言学研究语言,主要是给政治、哲学、宗教、历史、文学方面的经典着作作注解,比如我国古代的语文学主要就是围绕阅读先秦经典着作的需要来研究文言的,而现代语言学的研究目的主要是分析语言的结构,以此探讨语言发展的共同规律。 2.语言交际过程分哪几个阶段?请举例具体说明 可分为编码、发送、传递、接收、解码五个阶段。编码就是发话人利用词语组织语句;发送就是把思维成果变成话语,通过发音器官表达出来;传递就是通过空气振动形成声波,把话语传达给受话人;接收是受话人利用听觉器官感知对方所说的话;解码则经过大脑的思维把声波还原成语言,理解对方话语的含义,从而完成信息传递接收。如果受话人收到语言信息有所反馈,那么上述五个阶段则又重复一遍,只是发话人与受话人调换了。 3.“语言学既是一门古老的科学,又是一门年轻的科学;既与社会科学有密切的联系,有与自然科学有密切的联系。”怎样理解这段话的含义? 语言是伴随着人类一起出现的,是人类社会生活必不可少的,所以人类很早就注意到了语言的重要性,很早就注意研究语言,所以语言学是古老的,但语言学直到18世纪下半叶,产生了历史比较语言学,后来又建立了语言学的各个部门,语言研究才发展成为一门独立的学科,同其它学科相比,语言学的确是十分年轻的。语言是社会现象,与社会的政治、经济、文化、历史等密切相关,而语言的发生又与物理、生理、心理等学科密切相关,而现代社会语言与语言的信息处理(如机器翻译、语码转换等)又涉及到数学、计算机科学,所以语言学既与社会科学有密切的联系,又与自然科学有密切的联系。正因为如此,随着语言学与别的学科的交融,又产生了许多新的语言学分支学科,如社会语言学、心理语言学、统计语言

《语言学概论》作业参考答案

《语言学概论》作业参考答案 一、名词解释 1.音位:最小的可以区别意义的语音单位,通常由一簇互相不区别意义的音素构成。如|A|音位里就有前A、后A、央A等几个音素。 2.塞擦音:辅音的发音方式之一。其特点是发音时,两个发音部位紧靠在一起形成阻碍,在保持这个阻碍的同时,留出一个窄缝,让气流从窄缝中磨擦成声,最后除去这个阻碍。如:b‘p‘k‘就是。 3.递归性:语言的递归性是指,组合结构中的某个单位,可以不断地被一个同功能的短语替换,从而使基本结构里的某个扩展为非常复杂的结构,但其作用仍然等于原始项。也即语言的整体结构与基本框架不变。语法结构的这种性质,我们称之为语言结构的递归性。语言的递归性是语言结构一种非常重要的特性。如:人打倒了|敌人/凶恶的敌人/盘踞在中国大陆的敌人/曾经盘踞在中国大陆的不可以一世的敌人/曾经盘踞在中国大陆不可一世但最终被人民打倒的敌人 4.复综语:语言类型之一。这种语言的动词内有用不同的形态表示各种复杂的语法成分。多见于美洲印第安人的语言。举例。 5.自由变体:音位变体的一种类型。通常指对出现的组合条件没有硬性要求的音位变体。举例。 6.元音:音素的类型之一。即发音时气流在口腔中不受阻碍而形成的音。举例。 7.语法形式:表示语法意义方式与材料。举例。 8.词干:一个词的主要部分,词汇意义的承担者。举例。 9.音色:语音四要素之一,又叫音质,指声音的特色。由物体振动的不同形式所决定。举例。 10.塞音:辅音的发音方式之一。其特征发音时两个发音部位紧靠在一起,保持一段时间,然后突然除阻,爆破成声。也叫爆破音。举例。 11.共同语:随着社会政治经济集中,会以一种方言为基础形成共同语,以满足整个社会交际往来。共同语又叫天下通语、雅言。举例。 12.数:语法范畴之一。指是用一个词的不同形态表示出来的词语数的语法意义。在单数、复数、双数等。举例。 二、谈谈语言符号的特点 答案要点: 1.单位明晰性 2.任意性 3.结构二层性 4.开放性 5. 传授性 答:(1).语言是一种工具,即交际工具和思维工具;而思维是一种能力和过程,即人脑能动地反映客观现实的能力和过程。 (2).概念用词语表达,判断用句子表达,但概念按照逻辑规律构成的种种判断和词语按语法规则构成的啊、种种句子是有区别的。如:语言中的每个词不一定都表示一个概念,每个句子不一定都表示判断。 (3).思维过程是运用概念按照逻辑规律构成种种判断,语言运用过程则是运用词语,按照句法构成各种句子。 (4).语言是具有民族特点的,各民族都有自己的语言特点,世界上有许多种语言。但思维是各民族共同的,全人类具有共同的思维形式和思维规律。 三、试分析汉字跨越方言交际的特点与原因

英语语言学第章课后练习题答案

《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版第1-3章练习题参考答案 Chapter 1 Introduction P13 1. How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language? 答:Linguistics is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. In order to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system, the linguists has to collect and observe language facts first, which are found to display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them; then he formulates some hypotheses about the language structure. The hypotheses thus formed have to be checked repeatedly against the observed facts to fully prove their validity. In linguistics, as in any other discipline, data and theory stand in a dialectical complementation, that is, a theory without the support of data can hardly claim validity, and data without being explained by some theory remain a muddled mass of things. 2. What are the major branches of linguistics What does each of them study 答:The major branches of linguistics are: (1) phonetics: it studies the sounds used in linguistic communication; (2) phonology: it studies how sounds are put together and used to convey meaning in communication; (3) morphology: it studies the way in which linguistic symbols representing sounds are arranged and combined to form words; (4) syntax: it studies the rules which govern how words are combined to form grammatically permissible sentences in languages; (5) semantics: it studies meaning conveyed by language; (6) pragmatics: it studies the meaning in the context of language use. 3. In what basic ways does modern linguistics differ from traditional grammar 答:The general approach thus traditionally formed to the study of language over the years is roughly referred to as “t raditional gramma r.” Modern linguistics differs from traditional g rammar in several basic ways. Firstly, linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive. Second, modem linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written. Traditional grammarians, on the other hand, tended to emphasize, maybe over-emphasize, the importance of the written word, partly because of its permanence. Then, modem linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework. 4. Is modern linguistics mainly synchronic or diachronic Why 答:In modem linguistics, a synchronic approach seems to enjoy priority over a diachronic one. Because people believed that unless the various states of a language in different historical periods are successfully studied, it would be difficult to describe the changes that have taken place in its historical development. 5. For what reasons does modern linguistics give priority to speech rather than to writing 答:Speech and writing are the two major media of linguistic communication. Modem linguistics regards the spoken language as the natural or the primary medium of human language for some obvious reasons. From the point of view of linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing. The writing system of any langu age is always “invented” by its users to record spee ch when the need arises. Even in today's world there are still many languages that can only be spoken but not written. Then in everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed. And also, speech is always the way in which every native speaker acquires his mother tongue, and writing is learned and taught later when he goes to school. For modern linguists, spoken language reveals many true features of human speech while written language is only the “revised” record of spe ech. Thus their data for investigation and analysis are mostly drawn from everyday speech, which they regard as authentic.
