VI. Give a short answer of no more than 50 words to each of the following questions.(简答题)

1.What is the creativity of human language?

Creativity of human language refers to the ability that we all have to construct and understand an indefinitely large number of sentences in our native language, (3分) including sentences that we have never heard before, but that are appropriate to the situation in which they are uttered. (2分)

2.What does “prediction analysis” refer to?

Predication, which is a major unit, is not identical to the propositions, questions and commands, etc. (1分).

Predication analysis refers to the kind of analysis which involves the breaking down of predication into their constituents – arguments and predicates. (4分)

3.What does “hyponymy” refer to?

Hyponymy refers to a paradigmatic relation between a more specific lexeme and a more general lexeme. (2分)

The relation indicates the notion of inclusion. (1分)

The “upper” term is called superordinate and the “lower” term is called hyponym. (2分)

4.What are the four components of communicative competence as specified by

Hymes?

(1) the ability to judge whether something is formally possible, (1分) i.e. whether something is grammatical. (0.5分)

(2) the ability to judge whether something is feasible, (1分) i.e. whether something is psychologically acceptable. (0.5分)

(3) the ability to judge whether something is appropriate, (1分) i.e. whether something is suitable in a certain social context. (0.5分)

(4) the ability to judge whether something is done, (1分) i.e. how often something occurs. (0.5分)

5.What is the nativist view of language acquisition?

The nativist (rationalist or mentalist) view of language acquisition is that children are born with an innate ability to acquire languages of a specific type, i.e. human languages, (2.5分) and that they go about that learning using principles unique to language learning. (2.5分)

6.In what way is componential analysis similar to the analysis of phonemes

into distinctive features?

In the light of componential analysis, the meaning of a word consists of a number

of distinctive meaning features; the analysis breaks down the meaning of the word into these features; it is these different features that distinguish word meaning. Similarly, a phoneme is considered as a collection of distinctive sound features; a phoneme can be broken down into these distinctive sound features and it is these sound features that distinguish different sounds.

VII. Write a passage of 100-150 words on the following topics.(论述题)

1.The cooperative principle

In making conversation, there is, as Grice holds, a general principle which all participants are expected to observe. He calls this guiding principle the Cooperative Principle, which contains four maxims:

The maxim of quantity

1. Make your contribution as informative as required.

2. Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.

The maxim of quality

1. Do not say what you believe to be false.

2. Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.

The maxim of relation

Be relevant.

The maxim of manner

1. Avoid obscurity of expression.

2. Avoid ambiguity.

3. Be brief.

4. Be orderly.

As a matter of fact, the above four maxims are not always strictly observed. Rather, they are often violated and the violations give rise to the “conversational implicatures”. For example, if A asked B “Where do you live” and B answered “It’s lovely weather, isn’t it”, then B viol ated the maxim of relevance and the conversational implicatures here might be “I don’t want to tell you where I live.”

2.How do sense and reference differ from each other?

Both sense and reference are concerned with the study of meaning, but they refer to two very different aspects of meaning. (3分)

Sense relates to the complex system of relationships that hold between the linguistic elements themselves (mostly the words); it is concerned only with intralinguistic relations. (3分) Sense relationships have formed an important part of the study. (1分)

Reference deals with the relationship between the linguistic elements (words, sentences, etc.) and non linguistic world of experience. (3分)

The study of sense relations is concerned with factual information or with propositions that can be true or false. (3分) But this is by no means the only kind of meaning. In fact, a great deal of our meaning is “infer-personal”or “social”, relating ourselves to others. (2分) Linguistic forms having the same sense may have different references in different situations. (2分)

Thus, we have two kinds of semantics, one that deals with semantic structure and the other that deals with meaning in terms of our experience outside language. The former is called sense or sense relations; the latter is called reference. (3分)

3.Phonetics and its branches.

Phonetics is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language; it is concerned with the sounds that occur i n the world’s language. (3分) Phonetics has three branches – articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and auditory phonetics. (1分)

Articulatory phonetics studies the human speech organs, and the way in which the speech sounds are produced. (3分)

Acoustic phonetics deals with the physical properties of the speech sounds; it studies the sound waves through the use of such machines as a spectrograph. (3分) Auditory phonetics is the study of the perception of sounds by the human ear. (2分)

Of the three, articulatory phonetics is the most highly developed. (2分) However, several important facts have been either discovered or comfirmed by acoustic and auditory phonetics. (2分) For example, it has been discovered that what might be heard as the same utterance is only coincidentally, if ever, physically identical. (2分) The “same” sounds we claim to have heard are in most cases only phonetically similar, but rarely phonetically identical. (2分)

4.How do phonetics and phonology differ from each other? And how are they

related to each other?

Both phonetics and phonology are concerned with the same aspect of language –the speech sounds. But they approach the subject from two different points of view. (3分)

Phonetics is general, descriptive and classificatory. It studies speech sounds as they are. (3分)

Phonology is concerned with the sound system of language; it studies the functioning of the speech sounds. (3分)

Phonetics provides the means for describing and classifying speech sounds; (2分) phonology studies the ways in which speech sounds form systems and patterns in human languages. (2分)

The phonology of a language is then the system and pattern of the speech sounds used in that particular language. (2分)

语言学概论期末复习 1. diachronic linguistics Linguistics that studies language over a period of time, also known as historical linguistics, study of the Chinese language since the end of the Qing dynasty up to the present. 2. arbitrariness Language is arbitrary for the forms of linguistic signs bear no natural resemblance to their meaning. The link between the linguistic signs and their meanings is a matter of convention, and conventions differ radically across languages. 3. langue According to Saussure, langue refers to the abstract linguistic systems shared by all the members of a speech community. It can be thought of as the generalized rules of the language that members of a speech community seem to abide by. 4. competence Chomsky defines competence as the abstract ideal user's knowledge of the rules of his language. According to him, anyone who knows a language has internalized a set of rules about the sequences permitted in his language. This internalized set of rules is termed as a person's competence. 5. morpheme The most basic element of meaning is traditionally called morpheme. The “morpheme' is the smallest unit in terms of relationship between expression and content, a unit which can not be divided without destroying or drastically altering the meaning. 6. Morphology Morphology studies morphemes and their different forms and the way they combine in word formation. So it refers to the study of the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed 7. Semantic triangle According to Ogden and Richard's semantic triangle, there is no direct link between language and the world, or between the symbol ( the linguistic elements, the word, the sentence) and referent ( the object in the world of experience). The link is via thought or reference, the concepts of our minds. 8. Lingua franca Lingua franca is the general term for a language that serves as a means of communication between different groups of speakers. 9. componential analysis Componential analysis is a way to analyze lexical meaning, and it defines the meaning of a lexical element in terms of semantic components. 10.

语言学概论试题及答案

语言学概论试题及答案 语言学概论作业1 导言、第一章、第二章 一、名词解释 1、历时语言学——就各种语言的历史事实用比较的方法去研究它的“亲属”关系和历史发展的,叫历时语言学。 2、语言——语言是一种社会现象,是人类最重要的交际工具和进行思维的工具。就语言本身的结构来说,语言是由词汇和语法构成的系统。 3、符号——符号是用来代表事物的一种形式,词这样的符号是声音和意义相结合的统一体。任何符号都是由声音和意义两方面构成的。 4、语言的二层性——语言是一种分层装置,其底层是一套音位;上层是音义结合的符号和符号的序列,这一层又分为若干级,第一级是语素,第二级是由语素构成的词,第三级是由词构成的句子。 5、社会现象——语言是一种社会现象和人类社会有紧密的联系。所谓“社会”,就是指生活在一个共同的地域中,说同一种语言,有共同的风俗习惯和文化传统的人类共同体。语言对于社会全体成员来说是统一的、共同的;另一方面,语言在人们的使用中可以有不同的变异、不同的风格。 二、填空 1、结构主义语言学包括布拉格学派、哥本哈根学派、美国描写语言学三个学派。 2、历史比较语言学是在19世纪逐步发展和完善的,它是语言学走上独立发展道路的标志。 3、人的大脑分左右两半球,大脑的左半球控制语言活动,右半球掌管不需要语言的感性直观思维。 4、一个符号,如果没有意义,就失去了存在的必要,如果没有声音,我们就无法感知,符号也就失去了存在的物质基础。 5、用什么样的语音形式代表什么样的意义,完全是由使用这种语言的社会成员约定俗成。 6、语言符号具有任意性和线条性特点。 7、语言的底层是一套音位,上层是符号和符号的序列,可以分为若干级,第一级是语素,第二级是词,第三级是句子。 8、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,符号之间的这两种关系是组合和聚合。 9、组合是指符号与符号相互之间在功能上的联系,聚合是指符号在性质上的归类。 三、判断正误(正确的打钩,错误的打叉) 1、文字是人类最重要的交际工具。(×) 2、地主阶级和农民阶级之间没有共同语言,这说明语言是有阶级性的。(×) 3、在现代社会,文字比语言更加重要。(×) 4、现代社会,沟通的方式很多,语言的重要性日渐削弱。(×) 5、语言是思维的工具,没有语言,人类就无法思维。(√) 6、语言和思维互相依存,共同发展。(√) 7、任何一种符号,都是由内容和意义两个方面构成的。(×) 8、从本质上看,语言其实是一种符号系统。(√)

语言学概论课堂试题答案整理

绪论及语言本质 1.我国古代学者为读懂古书而建立的训诂学、文字学、音韵学组成了我国的语文学,通称为“小学”。 2.“语言学概论”课程容在语言学学科分类中,属于理论语言学。 3.狭义的应用语言学一般是指语言教学。 4.17世纪,法国波瓦雅的修道院里有两位学者阿尔诺.兰斯洛合编了一本普遍唯理语法。 5.历史比较语言学的出现,标志着语言学走出传统语文学,成为一门独立的科学。 6.传统语文学一般主要指古代印度、古代希腊和古代中国三个地方的语文学。中国传统的语文学通常叫小学。 7.语言系统的两种基本关系是组合关系和聚合关系。它们是打开语言的两把钥匙。 8.1786年,英国的威廉琼斯在皇家亚洲学会宣读的论文《三周年演说》中指出有共同的结构特点。为了纪念这一新发现,这一年被认为是历史比较语言学诞生的一年。 9.历史比较语言学的奠基人是丹麦的拉斯克、德国的葆朴和格里木。 10.语言的分类一般从两个方面进行:第一,按照语言的(结构/形态)特点分类;第二,按照语言的(亲属/来源)关系分类。 11.著名语言学家瑞士的索绪尔的著作《普通语言学教程》标志着结构主义语言学的诞生。 12.美国结构主义语言学的代表人物是布龙菲尔德,他的代表著作是《语言论》。 13.转换生成语言学的代表人物是乔姆斯基,他被称为“标准理论”的著作是《句法理论问题》。 14.根据语言的结构或者形态特点,一般把语言分为孤立语(词根语)、粘着语、屈折语和多式综合语(编插语)四种。 1.人类语言和动物的交际方式有着根本区别。 2.什么样的声音与什么样的意义相结合,取决于约定俗成的社会习惯。这里的“约定俗成”的容既有任意性,也有强制性。
