CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

Definition : linguistics can be defined as the scientific or systematic study of language. It is always guided by the three cannons of science:exhaustiveness, consistency and economy.

Linguistics

Linguistics versus

traditional grammar:Linguistics describes languages and does not lay down rules of correctness while

traditional grammar emphasizes correctness.

Linguists regard the spoken language as primary, not the written while traditional grammar emphasizes the priority of written language.

Traditional grammar is based on Latin and it tries to impose the Latin categories and structures on other languages. Linguistics describes each language on its own merits.

Scope Microlinguistics Phonetics Phonology Morphology Syntax Semantics Pragmatics Macrolinguistics Sociolinguistics Psycholinguistics Neurolinguistics Stylistics

Discourse analysis Computational linguistics Cognitive linguistics

language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.

Language is a system---elements in it are not arranged and combined randomly, but according to some rules and Definition:principles. Language is arbitrary--- there is no intrinsic connection between the word (e.g. pen) and the thing(e.g.

what we write with).Language is vocal---the primary medium for all languages is sound. Language is used for human

communication ---it is human-specific, very different form systems of animal communication.

Ding-Dong Theory: human speech developed from primitive man giving vocal expression to the objects he encountered.

Sing-Song Theory: language developed from primitive ritual songs of praise.

Pooh-Pooh Theory: language came from interjections, which express he speaker’s emotions.

Origins Yo-He-Ho Theory: language came from the cries uttered, during strain of work.

Ta-Ta Theory : language came from the combination of certain gestures and tongues movements.

Bow-Wow Theory: language came from imitation of animal cries and other sounds heard in nature.

Arbitrarines s: this refers to the fact that there is no logical or intrinsic connection between a particular sound and the meaning it is associated with. For example, English should use the sounds/d ?g/ to refer to the animal dog, but Chinese should use “gou”to refer to te same animal. A dog may be called a pig if the first man happens to name it as a“pig”. So, the relationship between the sounds and their meaning is quite accidental. Of course, onomatopoetic words such as “quack-quack”and“bang”are exceptions, but words these are relatively few compared withe the total number of words in

language.

Design Duality: language operates on two levels of structure. At one level are elements which have no meaning in themselves but features which combine to form units at another level which do have meaning.

Productivity: productivity or creativity refers to man’s linguistic ability which enables him to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences in our native language, including the sentences which were never heard before.

Interchangeability : interchangeability or reciprocity refers to the fact that man can both produce and receive messages, and his roles as a speaker and a hearer can be exchanged at ease.

Displacement: displacement is a property of language enabling people to talk about things remote either in space or in time.

Specialization: specialization refers to the fact that man does not have a total physical involvement in the act of communication.

Cultural transmission : language is culturally transmitted. It cannot be transmitted through heredity. A human being brought up in isolations simply doesn ’tacquire language, as is demonstrated by the studies of children brought up by animals without human contact. Animals transmit their cries simply from parent to child, while human baby doesn’tspeak any language at birth. What language a baby is going to speak is determined by the culture he is born into. A Chinese baby born and brought

up in London by an English family will speak English, while an English kid brought up in a Chinese community will speak

Chinese.

Some major concepts in linguistics

Descriptive and prescriptive grammar

Descriptive grammars attempt to tell what is in the language; while prescriptive grammars tell people what should be in the language.As traditional grammars tried to lay down rules, they are often called prescriptive. Most modern linguistics is descriptive.

Synchronic and diachronic linguistics

When we study language at one particular time, it is called synchronic linguistics. When we study language developments through time, it is called diachronic or historical linguistics. Synchronic linguistics focuses on the state of language at any point in history while diachronic linguistics focuses on he difference in two or more than two tates of language over decades or centuries.

Langue and parole

F.de Saussure made an important distinction between langue and parole. Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community. Parole refers to particular realizations of langue. Langue is the social, conventional side of language, while parole is individualized speech.

Competence and performance

According to Chomsky, competence refers to the knowledge that native speakers have of their language as a system of abstract formal relations, while performance refers to their actual linguistic behavior, that is , the actual use of this knowledge.

Syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations

Saussure has put forward another pair of concepts: syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The former refers to the horizontal relationship between linguistic elements, which form linear sequences. The later means the vertical relationship between forms, which might occupy the same particular place in a structure.

Functionalism and formalism

Functionalism or functional linguistics refers to the study of the forms of language in reference to their social function in communication. Formalism or formal linguistics is the study of the abstract forms of language and their internal relations.

课后练习

If language is partially defined as communication, can we call the noises that dogs make language? Why or why not?

No,we can ’tcall the noises that dogs make as language even though language is partially defined as communication. There are two reasons for that: first, language is human-specific,it is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used only for human communication. Second, language has design features which are totally lack in animal communication systems. For example, language has two levels of structures:

at one level are elements which have no meaning in themselves but which combine to form units at another level which do have meaning. Noises made by dogs represent certain meaning but can not be further analyzed into smaller units.

What is the difference between a prescriptive and a descriptive approach to language?

Descriptive approach to language attempt to tell what is in the language, while prescriptive approach to language tells people what should be in the language. Most contemporary linguists believe that whatever occurs naturally in the language should be described. Certain forms are sued more regularly than others and by different people. Though some forms occur less frequently they should not be ignored. They can all

be recorded and explained as aspects of the languages since hey are actually used.

A wolf is able to express subtle gradations of emotion by different positions of the ears, the lips, and the tail. There are eleven postures of the tail that express such emotions as self-confidence, confident threat, lack of tension, uncertain threat, depression, defensiveness, active submission, and complete submission. This system seems to be complex. Suppose there were a thousand different emotions that the wolf could express in this way. Would you then say a wolf had a language similar to man ’s ? If not, why not?

No, we can not say a wolf has a language similar to that of men even though there were a thousand different emotions that the wolf could express with his positions of body parts. There are two reasons for that:

First, language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Language is human-specific. Second, language has design features which are lack in animals’communication systems. For example, language has two levels of structures: at one level are elements which have no meaning in themselves but which combine to form units at another level which do have meaning. But in wolf’s communication system, one position stands for one certain meaning, and can not be further analyzed into smaller units. And no the other hand, human linguistic units can be grouped and regrouped, arranged and rearranged according to certain rules but those positions owned

by wolf have no such features. Therefore, wolf ’s this system is not so productive as human languages.

Chapter 2 THE SOUNDS OF LANGUAGE

With some phonetic knowledge we can give a much more precise description to speech sounds. And with some INTRODUCTION

phonological knowledge we can become more aware of the functions of sounds in different languages. More

importantly, phonetics and phonology have made the greatest contribution to “teaching”machines to “talk ”.

Phonology : is the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language.

Phoneme is the phonological units of language, and it is an abstract collection of phonetic features which and

distinguish meaning.

Phoneme:

Minimal pairs

and

minimal sets \

Free variation For example, sip and zip is signaled by the fact that the initial sound of the first word is s/s/ and the initial sound of the second word is z/z/./s/and /z/can therefore distinguish or contrast words. Such distinctive sounds are called phonemes. Minimal pairs are pairs of words which differ from each other only by one sound. For example, chunk and

junk ,ban and bin, be and bat, fan and van, fine and vine, sink and zinc, site and side are minimal pairs in English.

When a group of words can be differentiated each one from the others, by changing one phoneme (always in the same position), then we have a minimal set. For example, a minimal set based on the vowel phonemes of English would include feat, fit ,fate fat fought and foot, and one based on consonants could have big, pig, rig, fig, dig and wig.

when two or more sounds occur in the same positon without any apparent change of meaning, they are said to be in free variation.

For example, there are two pronunciation of the word either,we can say /i: δ?r/ and /’a?δ?r/.

When a feature distinguishes one phoneme from another it is a distinctive feature (or a phonemic feature). For example, seal and zeal distinguishes by /s/ ad /z/,/s/ is voiceless and /z/ is voiced,so /s/ and /z/ is a voicing

difference.

The English word beautiful consists of three speech units: beau-ti-ful. These units, which are often longer than

one sound and smaller than a whole word, are called syllables.

Syllable structure syllable

syllables

onset Rime(rhyme)

Nucleus(peak)coda

Consonant(s)vowel consonant(s)

Consonant cluster In English some words may contain a sequence of two or more consonants in one syllable, for example, /spl/ in /’splendid/. Sequences of consonants like this are called consonant clusters.

Initial cluster: /spl/ in / ’spl?? / splash Final cluster: /st/ in /test/ test Medial cluster: /str/ in / ’pe?str?/ pastry

A word which begins with three-consonant clusters always observes three strict rules:

The first consonant must be /s/

The second phoneme must be /p /or /t/ or /k/

The third consonant must be /l / or /r / or /w / or /j /

Sound contrasts that extend over several segments (phonemes),and such contrasts are called suprasegmentals.

Suprasegmental features

Stress

Suprasegmentals

When a word has more than one syllable, one of

them will be pronounced with more prominence

than others. This brings us to another speech

sound phenomenon, that of stress.

Distinctive features

Intonation

When sounds which are identical as to their place or manner features may differ in length, pitch or loudness. When speaking, people generally raise and lower the pitch of their voice. This phenomenon is called intonation.

Definition: The study of the speech sounds that occur in all human languages is called phonetics.

Articulatory phonetics, which is the study of how speech sounds are produced, or“articulated”. Three research fields Acoustic phonetics, which deals with the transmission of speech sounds through the air.

Auditory phonetics, which deals with how speech sounds are perceived by the listener.

Articulators

and functions

Voiced and Pharynx is a tube which begins just above the larynx.

Velum or soft palate i s seen in the position that allows air to pass through the nose and the mouth.

Hard palate is often called the“roof of the mouth”, you can feel its smooth curved surface with your tongue. Alveolar ridge or alveolum is between the top front teeth and hard palate.

Tongue can be moved into many different places and different shapes.Teeth

Larynx is also an articulator.Lips

Notices Jaws are sometimes called articulators,but the jaws are not articulators in the same way as others.

The nose and the nasal cavity not articulators as others.

When the vocal cords are spread apart, the airstream from the lungs is not obstructed at the space between vocal cords and passes freely. The sounds produced in this way are described as voiceless sounds. The sounds represented by /p/,/t/,/k/,and /s/ in the English words seep/si:p/,seat/si:t/,and seek/si:k/ are voiceless sounds.

voiceless sounds

Nasal

and

oral sounds

Variations

of

sounds

When the vocal cords are drawn together, the airstream forces its way through and causes them to vibrate.

Sounds produced in this way are described as voiced sounds. The sounds represented by /b/, /d/, /g/ and /z/ in the English words cob/k ? b/,cod/k ? d/,cog/k ? g/,and daze/de ?z/ are voiced sounds.

When the velum is lowered, air escapes through the nose as well as the mouth; sounds produced this way

are called nasal sounds. There are three nasal consonants /m/, /n/,and ?// in English.

When the velum is raised all the way to touch the back of the throat, the passage through the nose is cut off.

When the nasal passage is blocked in this way, the air can escape only through the mouth. Sounds produced this way are called oral sounds. /p/ and /b/ are oral sounds.

Liaison: The phenomenon of the linking of two words in speech, in particular when the second word begins with

a vowel, is called liaison. The phrase “an egg”is often pronounced /?’neg/.

Elision :the loss of a sound or sounds in speech is called elision. The word“suppose”is often pronounced as/sp?? z/, “factory ”as / ’f? ktr?/.

Assimilation : the way that sounds belonging to one word or one syllable can cause changes in sounds belonging to neighboring words or syllables is called assimilation. In English the negative prefix occurs as

“im-”before words such as“possible”---”impossible”.

Classification of

English Speech Sounds

Definition: vowels are sounds produced without obstruction, so o turbulence or a total stopping Vowels of the air can be perceived.Front vowels: /i:/ / ?/ /e/ / ?/ /? / /ɑ/

The height of the tongue Central vowels: / з:/ /?/ /?/

Back vowels: /u:/ /u/ / ?:/ / ?/ / ɑ:/

The shape of the lip Rounded vowels: /u:/ /u/ / ?:/ / ?/

Unrounded vowels: /i:/ / ?/ /e/ / ?/ /? / /ɑ/ /з:/ /?/ /?/ / ɑ:/

Open vowels: /? / /ɑ/ / ?/ / ɑ:/

The width of the mouth Close vowels:/i:/ / ?/ /u:/ /u/

Semi-open vowels: /?:/ /e/ / ?/ /з:/ /?/ /?/

Consonants are sounds produced by constricting or obstructing the vocal tract at some

places to divert, impede or completely shut off the flow of air in the oral cavity.

Bilabials / p, b, m, w/

Labiodentals / f, v/

Consonants Dentals / ?, δ/

CAPTER 2课后练习

2. What is the test most often used for determining phonemes in a language?

Minimal pair test or substitution test is the first rule of thumb to determine the phonemes of any language, that is , to see whether substituting one sound for another result in a different word. If it does , the two sound represent different phonemes. For example, we see from the contrast between fine and vine and between chunk and junk that /f /, /v /,/ ? /and / ? / must be phonemes in English because substituting /v/ for /f /,or / ? / for / ? / produce a different word.

3. What ’s the difference between an open and a closed syllable?

The units, which are often longer than one sound and smaller than a whole word, are called syllables. Syllables can be divided into two sorts: the open syllables and the closed syllables. Syllables like me, by or no that have an onset and a nucleus, but no coda are called open syllables; while the coda is present in the syllables like up, cup or hat, which is called closed syllables.

4. For each group of sounds listed below, state the phonetic feature or features which they share

/p/ /b/ /m/feature: bilabial,stop,consonant

/g/ /p/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /b/feature: stop, consonant

/?/ /u:/ / ?/feature: back, rounded, vowel

5. Name the single feature that distinguishes the following pairs of sounds.

/δ / : /?,/ voicing ( voiceless vs. voiced )

/p /: /f /place of articulation ( bilabial vs. labio-dental ) /? /: /e /the height of the tone rising. ( high vs. mid )/b /: /m /manner of articulation. (stop vs. nasal) /s /: /? /place of articulation (alveolar vs.

palatal)

/s /: /δplace/ of articulation (alveolar vs. dental)

6. The following sets of minimal pairs show that English /p/ and /b/ contrast in initial, medial and final positions.

Initial Medial final

pit/bit rapid/rabid cap/cab

Find similar seets of minimal pairs for each pair of consonants given:

Initial Medial final

/k/-/g/Kook/gook raking/raging lak/leg

/m/-/n/Moon/noon dime/dine beam/bean

/b/-/v/Berry/very dribble/drivel dub/dove

/b/-/m/Be/me ribbed/rimmed rib/rim

/p/-/f/Pat/fat depend/defend rap/raff

7. The english data below provide examples of stress placement on certain verbs.

A B C

ap’pear a’dapt as’tonish

col’lide col ’lapse con’sider

e’rase e’lect i’magine

ca’rouse ob’serve de’termine

cor ’rode tor ’ment‘promise

1)Describe in words the stress placement on these verbs. Make sure you refer to syllable structure in your statement.

2)Provide syllable representations of the words col ’lide, e’lect, and con’sider in order to illustrate your conclusion about stress placement in these forms.

1)Stress in languages may be predictable by rules: lexical category, morphological structure and number of syllables all seem to be

relevant factors for the placement of stress in English words.

For two-syllable verbs, the final(ultimate) syllable will receive main stress if tie has a long vowel or ends in at least two consonants. In this case, the first(penultimate) syllable may have secondary stress, contain an unstressed full vowel, or contain a reduced vowel. For example, a’dapt, e’lect.

If the ultimate syllable does not have a long vowel or end in two or more consonants, the penultimate syllable is stressed, as in ’promise. Otherwise, the main stress will be put on the second syllable. For example, ca ’rouse, ob’serve, astonish, de’termine.

If there is a double-letter in the word, the main stress should be put between them, or in other words, on the second one of the two. Such as ap’pear, cor’rode, col ’lide, col ’lase

2)They are two-syllable words; therefore the final (ultimate ) syllable will receive main stress,, as col’lide, e’lect and con’side.

《语言学教程》中文笔记(完整)

语言学教程笔记 第一章语言学导论 语言的定义特征:从本质上将人类语言与动物语言区分开的人类语言的区别性特点。 1. 任意性:任意性是指语言符号的形式与所表示的意义没有天然的联系,任意性是语言的核 心特征。例如,我们无法解释为什么一本书读作 a /buk/,一支钢笔读作a /pe n/。 任意性具有不同层次:(1)语素音义关系的任意性。(2)句法层面上的任意性。 (3) 任意性和规约性。 2. 二层性:二层性是指拥有两层结构的这种特性,上层结构的单位由底层结构的元素构成, 每层都有自身的组合规则。话语的组成元素是本身不传达意义的语音,语音的唯一作用就是 相互组合构成有意义的单位,比如词。因为底层单位是无意的,而上层单位有明确的意义,所以我们把语音叫做底层单位,与词等上层单位相对。二层性使语言拥有了一种强大的能产 性。 3. 创造性:创造性指语言的能产性,指语言有制造无穷长句的潜力,这来源于语言的二层性 和递归性。利用二重性说话者可以通过组合基本语言单位,无止境地生成句子,大多数都是以前没有过的或没有听过的。 4. 移位性:是指人类语言可以让使用者在交际时用语言符号代表时间上和空间上并不可及的 物体、时间或观点。因此我们可以提及孔子或北极,虽然前者已经去世两千五百五十多年而 后者位置距我们非常之远。语言使我们能够谈及已不存在或还未出现的事物。移位性赋予人 们的概括与抽象能力使人类受益无穷。词在指称具体物体时,并不总是出现在即时、形象化 的语境中。他们通常为了体现指称含义而被使用。 5. 文化传递性:语言不是靠遗传,而是通过文化传递的。 6. 互换性:指人可以是信息的发出者,也可以是信息的接受者,即人作为说话者和听话者的 角色是可以随意更换的。 元语言功能:我们的语言可以用来讨论语言本身。比如说,我可以用“书”指代一本书,也可以用“书这个词”来指代“书”这个词本身。这使语言具有无限的自我反身性:人类可以谈论“说话”,也可以思考“思考"。所以只有人类才能提问:元语言功能对交际、思考及人类的意义是什么?

刘润清寄语英语的专业学生

北外刘润清教授 寄语英语专业学生 我(刘润清)今天跟大家谈谈我在英语学习中的一些经历和感受,希望能给大家一点启发。 我在中学学的是俄语,1960年报考北京外国语学院(现北京外国语大学)的俄语系。但报到时却得知我被分到了英语系。我的同班同学都学过英语,至少知道800个英语单词,发音也没有太大问题。 惟独我这个农村孩子一个英语单词也不知道,一切都要从头学起。更可笑的是,别人说yes时,我会不自觉地说出俄语“是”的音/da/;别人说no 时,我会说/niet/。发英语的几个元音时,我也遇到很多困难,经常在班上引起哄堂大笑。 好在我在班上年纪最大,脸皮也厚,又是团干部,因此无论别人怎么笑,我也没太在乎。幸运的是,我遇到了一位好老师。夏祖煃老师,不仅有丰富的教学经验,又有真诚、热情的工作态度;他经常鼓励我这个最落后的学生。老师和同学

的帮助,给了我极大的信心,因此我从来没有被困难吓倒过。 我把周末的时间都用在了学习上。对着镜子练发音,一练就是几个小时,有时嗓子都练哑了。当时全班只有一个大型录音机,要听大家都听,不听谁也别听,录音机死沉死沉的,也不可能搬到宿舍去。录音里只有精读课文和生词,除此之外,就再也没有任何其他听力材料了。 我还经常在黑板上练拼写,写满一黑板,就擦掉又写。单单这发音和拼法,就不知道花去了我多少时间。我的语法还算好,当时没有什么专门的语法课,精读课文中出现什么语法现象,老师就顺便讲一下。但总的来说,在第一学年,我一直是班上的最后一名。到一年级结束的时候,我才算入了门。 【北外求学第二年】 二年级仍以精读课为主,它既是英语输入的主要来源,也是口语、笔语练习的主要场所。同时,还开了泛读课,让我们读最简单的英语小故事。从二年级起,老师还要求我们用英英词典。我记得第一次拿到Advanced Learners Dictionary 时,查了一两个词,心里就十分激动:我可以用英文解释英文了!初用英英词典时,当然也遇到不少困难。为了查一个

新编语言学教程第2版第4章答案

《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版第4章练习题参考答案Chapter 4 Syntax 1. What is syntax? Syntax is a branch of linguistics that studies how words are combined to form sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences. 2. What is phrase structure rule? The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements (i.e. specifiers, heads, and complements) that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule. The phrase structural rule for NP, VP, AP, and PP can be written as follows: NP →(Det) N (PP) ... VP →(Qual) V (NP) ... AP →(Deg) A (PP) ... PP →(Deg) P (NP) ... We can formulate a single general phrasal structural rule in which X stands for the head N, V, A or P. 3. What is category? How to determine a word's category? Category refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same or similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence, a noun phrase or a verb. To determine a word's category, three criteria are usually employed, namely meaning, inflection and distribution. 若详细回答,则要加上: Word categories often bear some relationship with its meaning. The meanings associated with nouns and verbs can be elaborated in various ways. The property or attribute of the entities denoted by nouns can be elaborated by adjectives. For example, when we say that pretty lady, we are attributing the property ‘pretty’ to the lady designated by the noun. Similarly, the properties and attributes of the actions, sensations and states designated by verbs can typically be denoted by adverbs. For example, in Jenny left quietly the adverb quietly indicates the manner of Jenny's leaving. The second criterion to determine a word's category is inflection. Words of different categories take different inflections. Such nouns as boy and desk take the plural affix -s. Verbs such as work and help take past tense affix -ed and progressive affix -ing. And adjectives like quiet and clever take comparative affix -er and superlative affix -est. Although inflection is very helpful in determining a word's category, it does not always suffice. Some words do not take inflections. For example, nouns like moisture, fog, do not usually take plural suffix -s and adjectives like frequent, intelligent do not take comparative and superlative affixes -er and -est.

北外教授寄语学英语方法

下文的作者是北京外国语大学刘润清教授,寄语所有英语专业的朋友。静下心来,看完本文,尤其注意大学这看似漫长实则短暂的几年时光中,刘润清教授是如何提高英语水平的。诚然,刘教授当年经历的教学法、师资、学习环境已经经历了较大的变革,但不变的是学习英语的过程,若想追寻的大师的足迹,必须抛却浮躁,脚踏实地地走上这条漫长的学习道路(当然,对于广大英语爱好者来说,这篇文章也具有极高的指导意义): 我在中学学的是俄语,1960年报考北京外国语学院(现北京外国语大学)的俄语系。但报到时却得知我被分到了英语系。我的同班同学都学过英语,至少知道800个英语单词,发音也没有太大问题。惟独我这个农村孩子一个英语单词也不知道,一切都要从头学起。更可笑的是,别人说yes时,我会不自觉地说出俄语“是”的音/da/;别人说no时,我会说/niet/。发英语的几个元音时,我也遇到很多困难,经常在班上引起哄堂大笑。好在我在班上年纪最大,脸皮也厚,又是团干部,因此无论别人怎么笑,我也没太在乎。幸运的是,我遇到了一位好老师。夏祖煃老师,不仅有丰富的教学经验,又有真诚、热情的工作态度;他经常鼓励我这个最落后的学生。老师和同学的帮助,给了我极大的信心,因此我从来没有被困难吓倒过。我把周末的时间都用在了学习上。对着镜子练发音,一练就是几个小时,有时嗓子都练哑了。当时全班只有一个大型录音机,要听大家都听,不听谁也别听,录音机死沉死沉的,也不可能搬到宿舍去。录音里只有精读课文和生词,除此之外,就再也没有任何其他听力材料了。我还经常

在黑板上练拼写,写满一黑板,就擦掉又写。单单这发音和拼法,就不知道花去了我多少时间。我的语法还算好,当时没有什么专门的语法课,精读课文中出现什么语法现象,老师就顺便讲一下。但总的来说,在第一学年,我一直是班上的最后一名。到一年级结束的时候,我才算入了门。 二年级仍以精读课为主,它既是英语输入的主要来源,也是口语、笔语练习的主要场所。同时,还开了泛读课,让我们读最简单的英语小故事。从二年级起,老师还要求我们用英英词典。我记得第一次拿到Advanced Learners Dictionary时,查了一两个词,心里就十分激动:我可以用英文解释英文了!初用英英词典时,当然也遇到不少困难。为了查一个词,不知道要查多少其他词。有时查来查去,就忘了最初是要查哪一个词了。但是,英英词典使我们看到了英汉词典中解释的局限性和误导性。从根本上说,查完英汉词典和汉英词典,并不能够真正学会使用一个词。只有查一部好的英英词典,才能真正搞清一个词的确切含义和用法。随着词汇量的扩大,使用英语词典的兴致也越来越高。有时,查上瘾来,会查上个把小时,忘记了正在读的文章。那时,我们都把Advanced Learners Dictionary上标的25个句型背得滚瓜烂熟。总之,查英英词典本身就是在学地道的英文。 就我个人的经验而言,精读课的作用是最大的,一切基础知识都来自于精读课。此外,给我留下较深印象的是那些简易读物。这些小书深深地吸引了我,并让我眼界大开,因为里面有一种全新的文化。与此同时,我还惊叹于其中简单、地道的英文所包含的极强的表达力。那

克拉申输入假说及其对英语教学的启示

克拉申输入假说及其对英语教学的启示(2009-05-01 11:42:10) 标签:校园分类:英语 摘要:克拉申输入假说对英语教学和英语学习有着重要的启发和指导意义,本文通过对该假说的提出和验证,探讨其对中、小学英语教学产生的影响。 这么多人学英语,却这么多人学不好,如何提高中、小学英语教学质量的问题一直困扰着中国英语教育界。中、小学英语教育是基础,其教学质量的好坏直接影响着大学的英语教学。在英语教育界流传着这样一个故事:有一位过了大学英语六级的大学毕业生,到外资企业应聘,面试时招聘者用英语问了应聘者几个问题,他却不知如何回答,最后他向招聘者说:“我听不懂,不知如何回答,你能不能出几道选择题给我做?”其结果可想而知。无独有偶,笔者的一位同事曾抱怨,他在上英语课时因讲英语太多,捱学生告他的状。由此可见,我国英语教学存在着许多问题,要改变目前的状况,抓好中、小学英语基础教育是关键。本文试图通过对克拉申输入假说的提出和验证,探讨其对中、小学英语教学的启示,从而引起广大中、小学英语教师的重视,以便能运用该理论指导英语教学,达到提高教学质量的目的。 1、克拉申输入假说 克拉申的输入假说(Input Hypothesis)是第二语言习得的一种理论。第二语言习得理论作为一门独立的学科形成于20世纪60年代末、70年代初。在这方面的研究中成就最大、影响最广的要算克拉申(S. D. Krashen)。克拉申是美国南加州大学的教师,他从70年代初开始研究第二语言习得,并多次在他的著作及文章中阐述他的输入假说。克拉申认为,只有当习得者接触到可理解的语言输入(comprehensive input),即略高于他现有语言技能水平的第二语言输入,而他又能把注意力集中于对意义或信息的理解而不是对形式的理解时,才能产生习得。如果习得者现有水平为“i”,能促进他习得就是“i+1”的输入。根据克拉申的观点,这种“i+1”的输入并不需要人们故意地去提供,只要习得者能理解输入,而他又有足够的量时,就自动地提供了这种输入。按照输入假设,说话的流利程度是随时间的流逝自然而然地达到。[1][P122] 克拉申的理想输入应具备四个特点:可理解性(comprehensibility);既有趣,又有关联(interesting and relevant);非语法程序安排(not grammatically sequenced)和要有足够的量(i+1)。 可理解性,是指理解输入的语言是语言习得的必要条件,不可理解的输入对学习者无用,只是一种噪音。对初学者来说,输入那些不理解的语言等于浪费时间。 既有趣又有关联,指的是使语言输入对语言的习得有利,必须对它的意义进行加工,输入的语言材料越有趣,越有关联,学习者就会在不知不觉中轻松地习得语言。 非语法程序安排,指的是语言习得重要的是足够的可理解的输入,按语法程序安排的教学是不足的也是不必要的。 要有足够的输入量,指的是克拉申提出的i+1原理。[2][P9] 2.输入假说对英语教学的启示 克拉申在美国对外国移民第二语言习得进行多年的研究后,提出他的输入假说,然后在西

新编语言学教程刘润清版1,2章复习大纲

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Definition : linguistics can be defined as the scientific or systematic study of language. It is always guided by the three cannons of science:exhaustiveness, consistency and economy. Linguistics Linguistics versus traditional grammar: Scope Microlinguistics Phonetics Phonology Morphology Syntax Semantics Pragmatics Macrolinguistics Sociolinguistics Psycholinguistics Neurolinguistics Stylistics Discourse analysis Computational linguistics Cognitive linguistics Definition: Ding-Dong Theory: human speech developed from primitive man giving vocal expression to the objects he encountered. Sing-Song Theory: language developed from primitive ritual songs of praise. Pooh-Pooh Theory: language came from interjections, which express he speaker ’s emotions. Origins Yo-He-Ho Theory: language came from the cries uttered, during strain of work. Ta-Ta Theory : language came from the combination of certain gestures and tongues movements. Bow-Wow Theory: language came from imitation of animal cries and other sounds heard in nature. Design features Linguistics describes languages and does not lay down rules of correctness while traditional grammar emphasizes correctness. Linguists regard the spoken language as primary, not the written while traditional grammar emphasizes the priority of written language. Traditional grammar is based on Latin and it tries to impose the Latin categories and structures on other languages. Linguistics describes each language on its language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Language is a system---elements in it are not arranged and combined randomly, but according to some rules and principles. Language is arbitrary --- there is no intrinsic connection between the word . pen) and the thing. what we write with).Language is vocal---the primary medium for all languages is sound. Language is used for human communication ---it is human-specific, very different form Arbitrarines s: this refers to the fact that there is no logical or intrinsic connection between a particular sound and the meaning it is associated with. For example, English should use the sounds/d?g/ to refer to the animal dog, but Chinese should use “gou ” to refer to te same animal. A dog may be called a pig if the first man happens to name it as a “pig ”. So, the relationship between the sounds and their meaning is quite accidental. Of course, onomatopoetic words such as “quack-quack ” and “bang ” are exceptions, but words these are relatively few compared withe the total number of words in language. Duality: language operates on two levels of structure. At one level are elements which have no meaning in themselves but which combine to form units at another level which do have meaning. Productivity : productivity or creativity refers to man ’s linguistic ability which enables him to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences in our native language, including the sentences which were never heard before. Interchangeability : interchangeability or reciprocity refers to the fact that man can both produce and receive messages, and his roles as a speaker and a hearer can be exchanged at ease. Displacement: displacement is a property of language enabling people to talk about things remote either in space or in time. Specialization : specialization refers to the fact that man does not have a total physical involvement in the act of communication. Cultural transmission : language is culturally transmitted. It cannot be transmitted through heredity. A human being brought up in isolations simply doesn ’t acquire language, as is demonstrated by the studies of children brought up by animals without human contact. Animals transmit their cries simply from parent to child, while human baby doesn ’t speak any language at birth. What language a baby is going to speak

波罗的海国家的语言政策与民族整合

波罗的海国家的语言政策与民族整合 戴曼纯刘润清 【内容提要】由于历史原因及政治因素,波罗的海国家的语言政策带有浓厚的政治色彩。语言政策被当作一种政治工具,为民族整合服务。语言法照顾到人们的语言能力和兴趣,调动了不同群体,在一定程度上起到了权利再分配的作用;对入籍者提出语言要求很好地表达了民族标准。这些国家的语言政策在政治和外交上都蕴含着丰富的启示。 【关键词】波罗的海国家语言政策民族整合 【作者简介】戴曼纯,1964年生,北京外国语大学中国外语教育研究中心教授、博士、博士生导师;刘润清,1939年生,北京外国语大学中国外语教育研究中心教授、博士生导师。(北京100089) 一引言 波罗的海国家(立陶宛、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚)在20世纪经历了至少六次大的语言政策变化:(1)沙皇时期严重的俄语化及随后短暂的自由化;(2)第一次独立后重申民族语言地位;(3)1940~1941年苏联统治第一阶段的俄语 化;(4)1941~1944年德国纳粹占领时期强制推行德语;(5)1944年至20世纪八九十年代苏联解体期间回归“社会主义语言平等”的俄语化;(6)成为独立主权国家后将民族语言确立为唯一的国语[1]。20世纪的波罗的海国家几乎成了语言政策的试验场,民族语言受到一次又一次的生存威胁。 波罗的海国家与原苏联、现今的俄罗斯有着复杂的历史渊源,20世纪初同为沙皇帝国的行省,在十月革命和第一次世界大战德国战败的混局中争取独立,此后在1940年进入原苏联的版图,在1991苏联解体变革中又重获独立。三国在20

世纪的历史基本相同或极其相似。它们的语言渊源略有不同,拉脱维亚语和立陶宛语是印欧语的近亲;与斯拉夫语系、日耳曼语系不同,爱沙尼亚语则是芬兰-乌戈尔语的一支。不过,三种语言都使用拉丁文字,立陶宛语据称是保存最完善的古印欧语之一。拉脱维亚语和立陶宛语是硕果仅存的现代波罗的语言(另一最大的波罗的语言普鲁士语,18世纪末期已经消亡),虽然它们在斯拉夫语及日耳曼语环境包围中生存下来,但是后两种语言对其词汇和结构产生了一定的影响。 语言的变迁在很大程度上取决于周边语言环境和语言接触。 原苏联时期,其他共和国的一些民众迁徙进入波罗的海国家,在一定程度上改变了这里的人口结构。爱沙尼亚的原住民族由战前的88%降低至1989年的61.3%,拉脱维亚从77%降至52%,立陶宛变化不大,由80.6%降至79.6%。 人口变化必然带来语言使用者群体结构的变化,本地人为了更好地生活下去开始学习俄语,少部分俄语移民开始学习本地语言[2]。俄语成为该地原苏联时期的主要语言。当地开设俄文学校,非本地共和国语言使用者的子女只好在俄文学校和共和国语言学校就读,但是通常会倾向于前者。 俄文学校不教授当地语言,而俄语是当地语言学校的必修课,这就导致了一边倒的双语制[3]。当地人不得不掌握俄语,比如在爱沙尼亚,俄语成了工作场所和行政机构使用的语言。有政策规定要求人们在提交学位论文时使用俄语;俄语甚至成了获得职业资质或入党资格的条件;俄语在银行、统计、机场、采矿、能源、军事、国家计划、克格勃等许多行业或机构取代了当地语言。 苏联解体后,波罗的海国家重新独立。从语言和政治角度讲,三国开始重建其社会格局,原有的少数民族通过政治主权的变化转变为语言多数民族[4]。

英语阅读:如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料

美联英语提供:英语阅读:如何选择正确的英语课外阅读材料 小编给你一个美联英语官方试听课申请链接:https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d76753863.html,/?tid=16-73374-0我们常说的英语阅读就是读者利用相关的英语知识和非英语知识去解读包含一定英语知识和非英语知识的阅读材料。英语知识是指读者英语语音、词汇、语法以及篇章知识的总和,而非英语知识是指读者英语知识以外的背景知识,即直接或间接获取的知识经验的总和。 在培养学生的英语语言综合运用能力听说读写过程中,阅读能力的提高对于英语学习者来说是重中之重。诚如刘润清教授所总结的那样“正式的外语教学与其他学科教学一样,要想真正掌握一门外语,需要大量的阅读,有独立的思维过程和分析总结过程”。 课外阅读是高中英语教学的必要补充。高中英语大纲明确指出:要提高学生的阅读能力,单纯通过教科书的课文教学是远远不够的,还要根据学生的具体情况,有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的课外读物。理由是:第一,现行的课文教学篇目少,篇幅短,不能保证充分的阅读活动;第二,精读教学担负着语言知识教学的任务,所以,课文生词和新的语言结构的密度大,不适用于流畅阅读的训练;第三,精读实际上综合训练,大量的时间用于为语言点的掌握而安排的听、说、读、写操练上,读的专门训练不够。因此,大纲的指出实际上对我们的外语教师提出了更高的、更全面的要求。 我们的理解是,这里的课外阅读即泛读,让学生独立阅读,但又不是“放羊式”的阅读,而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。因此,我们认为泛读既是阅读材料的问题,也是阅读方法的问题,老师应做到以下几点: 首先,给学生选择时应掌握以下原则:(1)思想性强,内容健康; (2)材料难易适合学生的实际水平; (3)题材涉及面广,材料新颖,具有趣味性; (4)文章体载多样化; (5)语言地道、规范。
