领会：Connections between first and second language acquisition; Contrastive analysis; Error analysis; Characteristics of interlanguage; Individual Differences in second language acquisition

简单应用：Krashen’s Input Hypothesis

一、定义

1. Second Language Acquisition(SLA)第二语言习得：refers to the systematic study of how one person acquires a second language subsequent to his native language. 指一个人在习得其母语之后是如何习得一门第二语言系统的研究。

2.over generalization过度概括: the use of previously available strategies in new situations. 将以前适用的策略运用于新的场合。

3. interlanguage中介语：learners’independent system of the second language which is of neither the native language nor the second language, but a continuum or approximation from his native language to the target language. 它既不是本族语，也不是第二语言，而是一个处于本族语和目的语之间的连续体或临界体。

二、知识点

11.2 Connections between first language acquisition and second language acquisition第一语言习得与第二语言习得之间的联系

1. While the L1 is acquired subcon sciously, the L2 or FL is more commonly learned consciously.

2. In acquiring their L1 children always concentrate on meaning. The L2 learners concentrate on code structure.

3. One learners his directly from reality. The L2 is learnt in manageable sequence

4. In L1 a children apply the rules subconsciously while the L2 learners, after a period of training are able to verbalize the rules.

Interlanguage(IL)语言石化现象：中介语fossilization的主要特征之一(指错误或不地道的表达)

11.3Contrastive analysis (CA)对比分析(1960s)

native language本族语被认为是造成在学习第二语言或外语中缺乏成功的主要原因，人们在迁移和负迁移之间做出了区分：

Positive transfer迁移----facilitate target language learning促进目的语的学习Negative transfer负迁移----interfere or hinder target language learning干扰目的语的学习

It is believed that differences between the native language and the target language would pose difficulties in second/foreign language learning and teaching, 本族语和目的语之间的区别会为第二语言（外语）的学习造成困难

e.g. *To touch the society .

*There are more people come to study in the states.

*I wait you at the gate of the school.

Shortcomings of CA：

The CA was soon found problematic, for many of the predictions of the target language learning difficulty formulated on the basis of contrastive analysis turned out to be either uninformative or inaccurate. Predicted errors did not materialize in learner language while errors did show up that the contrastive analysis had not predicted. “differences”and “difficulties”are not identical concepts. 没过多久人们就发现对比分析有问题，因为许多基于对比分析作出的目的语的学习困难的预见，要么是不准确的，要么就是没有信息意义。（预见的的错误在学习者的语言中没有实现，而对比分析贸易预见的错误却出现了。）人们开始意识到“差异”和“困难”并不是同一概念。（盛行一时的CA逐渐被EA所取代。）

11.4Error analysis (EA) 错误分析

The contrastive approach to learners’errors has shed new light on people’s attitudes: the errors are significant in telling the teacher what needs to be taught, in telling the researcher how learning proceeds and those errors are a means whereby learners test their hypotheses about the language to be learnt.关于学习者错误的对比理论使人们的观点更加明朗化：错误在告诉老师需要教什么和告诉研究者学习是如何进行的是很重要的，那些错误也是学习者测试对所要学习的语言进行假设的一种手段。（错误分析首先是独立或客观地对学习者的中介语进行描写（即他们自己对目的语和目的语本身的描写）然后对两者进行比较以找出不配之处，与对比分析不同，错误分析不是那么看重需学习者的本族语。）

The main purpose for CA is to predict learners errors while that for EA is to explain learner’s error. CA的主要目的是预见学习者的错误，EA是解释学习者的错误。Two main sorts of errors: Interlingual errors语际错误& intralingual errors语

内错误

1. Interlingual errors 语际错误: mainly result from cross-linguistic interference at different levels such as phonological, lexical, grammatical or discoursal etc. 主要是由于不同层面的跨语言干扰，如音位层、词汇层、语法层或话语层

For examples,

a） Substitution of [t] for [ ] and [d] for [ ]:

three发成tree, this发成dis.

b） Shortening of long vowels长元音的缩短:

sheep发成ship, meet发成mit

2. The intralingual errors语内错误：mainly from faulty or partial learning of the target language, independent of the native language.主要是由于对目的语的错误或不完全的学习造成的，它与本族语无关。

Two types of errors have been well exploited: overgeneralization过度概括& cross-association互相联想

1）O vergeneralization过度概括---- the use of previously available strategies in new situations. 将以前适用的策略运用于新的场合。

e.g. ?Walked, watched, washed…

*rided, *goed, *doed, *eated…(造成误导和不合适)

?Jane advised me to give up smoking.

Jane told me to give up smoking.

*Jane hoped me to give up smoking. (造成误导和不合适)

*Jane suggested me to give up smoking. (造成误导和不合适)

?The girl is in a blue ski jacket.

The girl is dressed in a blue ski jacket.

*The girl is worn a blue ski jacket. (造成误导和不合适)

2）Cross-association 互相联想：refers to the phenomenon that the close association of the two similar words often leads to confusion,两个拼写、发音、意义相近的词，两者之间相近的联想经常会导致混淆，这样的内部干扰称为互相联想。

e.g.

Other/another, much/many, stalagmite/stalactite…

It may also occurs at all levels of language from phonological to syntactic,互相联想可以出现在从音位到句法的所有层面上：

e.g.

The coffee is very hot. I can’t drink it.→The coffee is too hot to drink.

The apricot杏子is sour. I can’t eat it.→

* The apricot is too sour to eat it.（混合的句子）

Errors & mistakes语误和差错

Errors语误---- unintentionally deviant from the target language and not self-corrigible by the learner (failure in competence)；无意地偏离目的语，而学习者不能自我纠正，它表明的是语言能力上的失败（不可纠正） Mistakes ---- either intentionally or unintentionally deviant forms and self-corrigible (failure in performance).有意或无意地偏离的形式，并且可以自我纠正，表明的是语言行为的失败。（可纠正）

11.5 Interlanguage (by S. Pit Corder & Larry Selinker)

中介语：被确立为学习者的第二语言系统

Interlangauge中介语：learners’ independent system of the second language which is of neither the native language nor the second language, but a continuum or approximation from his native language to the target language. 它既不是本族语，也不是第二语言，而是一个处于本族语和目的语之间的连续体或临界体。

What learners produce, correct or wrong, are evidence or the approximation from their first language to the target language. 学习者所创造的东西，无论正确与否，都是从第一语言到目的语之间的临界体的证据。

Three important Characteristics of interlanguage中介语的三个重要特征：systematicity系统性, permeability渗透性and fossilization.语言石化现象

Fossilization语言石化现象：a process occurring from time to time in which incorrect linguistic features become a permanent part of the way a person speaks or writes a language.一个时不时会出现的过程，在这个过程中，不正确的语言特征成为了一个人说或写一门语言的方式的一个不变的部分。

11.6 The role of native language in 2nd language learning

本族语在第二语言学习中的作用

Language transfer语言迁移(behaviorism行为主义):

positive正面迁移& negative负面迁移（干扰）

Mentalists argued that few errors were caused by language transfer; transfer is not transfer, but a kind of mental process.精神第一性论者认为语言迁移造成

的语误很少，因此迁移并不是迁移，而是一种心理过程。

Three interacting factors in determining language transfer第二语言学习的语言迁移中有三个相互作用的因素:

1) A learner’s psychology学习者的心理（学习者如何组织他的本族语）

2) Perception of native-target language distance对本族语和目的语之间举例

的感知

3) Actual knowledge of the target language对目的语的现实知识

11.7 Second language learning models and input hypothesis

第二语言学习的模式和输入假设

Behaviorism model emphasizes the role of imitation and positive reinforcement, a “nurture”position;行为主义模式强调模仿与正面强化的作用，处于一个“培育”的位置。

The mentalists or the innativists shift to a “nature”position by stressing that human beings equipped innately with language acquisition device, are capable of language learning provided with adequate language input. 精神第一性论者或语法天生主义者已经转移到一个“天性”的位置，他们强调人天生具有语言习得机制，能够在提供足够输入的情况下学习语言。

The social interactionists argue that language and social interaction cannot be separated. 当今的第二语言习得的模式和理论主要分歧：语言习得和社会

互动是互相依赖，不能分开的。

Krashen’s Input Hypothesis 克拉申的输入假设：

Krashen make a distinction between acquisition & learning.两种独立的第二语言学习的方式或途径：习得（非正式、自然的学习）和学习（有意识的）。

He put forward that learners advance their language learning gradually by receiving comprehensible input.他还提出学习者是通过接受“可理解的输

入”来逐渐推进他们的语言学习的。

He defined comprehensible input as “i + 1”（他把可理解的输入定义为“i + 1”）:“i”represents learners current state of knowledge, the next stage is an “i + 1”.

i 表示学习者当前的知识状态，下一个阶段就是i+1

Krashen mistook input and intake, thus receive criticism.（后来他的输入假设受到了批评，因他误把“input”当作“intake”（即已经被学习者内在化了的实际输入部分）

11.8 Individual differences 个体差异

1. Language aptitude语言能力：refers to a natural ability for learning a second language. It is believed to be related to a learner’s general intelligence. John Carroll identified some components of language aptitude指学习第二语言的天生能力。人们认为它是与学习者的总体智力有关，John Carroll曾经对语言能力的几个组成成分作出鉴定即（语言天赋的4种能力）:

1）Phonemic coding ability语言编码能力，2）Grammatical sensitivity语法感受能力，3）Inductive language learning ability（归纳性语言学习能力）推理能力，4）Rote learning ability（背诵学习能力）言语记忆能力

2. Motivation 动机：can be defined as the learner’s attitudes and affective state or learning drive. It has a strong impact on his efforts in learning a second language. Generally four types of motivations have been identified学习者的态度、情感状态或学习动力的动机对学习者在学习第二语言中所作出的努力有很大影响:

1）Instrumental motivation工具性动机，

2）Integrative motivation综合性动机，

3）Resultative motivation结果性动机

4）Intrinsic motivation内在动机

3.Learning strategies学习策略：are learners’conscious, goal-oriented and problem-solving based efforts to achieve learning efficiency.（According to Chamot (1986) & Oxford (1990), three types of strategies have been identified）是学习者有意识的、以目的为导向，以解决问题为基础，为提高学习效率而作出的努力（Chamot (1986) & Oxford (1990)所提出的划分得到了广泛的认可）:

1）Cognitive strategies认知策略---- analyzing,synthesis and internalizing what has been learned.涉及分析、综合以及将所学的内容进行内在化的策略。

2）Metacognitive strategies元认知策略---- planning, monitoring and evaluating one’s learning.计划、监测和评价一个人的学习的技巧。

3）Affect/social strategies影响、社会策略---- the ways learners interact with other speakers. 处理学习者与其他言者，本族或非本族的，交际或交往的方法。Cohen (1998) further distinguishes language learning strategies and language using strategies科恩进一步对语言学习策略和语言使用策略进行了区分，四个分支：1）retrieval strategies检索策略, 2）rehearsal strategies背诵策略,

3）cover strategies替代策略, 4）communication strategies交际策略

4. Age of acquisition习得的年龄：Recent studies support the hypothesis that in terms of learning achievement and grammaticality the younger learners outperform the adults.从学习成就和语法性的角度来看，年幼的学习者比成人的要强，

5. Personality 个性：In terms of communicative ability rather than grammatical accuracy or knowledge of grammatical rules, the personality traits such as extroversion, talkative, self-esteem, self-confidence can be found in successful second language learners ( as in the case of Liyang: Crazy English).从交际能力来看，尽管不同的研究产生了不同的结果，但是，像外向、健谈、自尊、自信这些个性特征都能在成功的第二语言学习者身上找到。

《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？

最新新篇简明英语语言学-Chapter-Three-Morphology

Chapter Three Morphology形态学 一、定义 1. Morphology形态学：t he study of the internal structure of words (内部研究), and the rules by which words are formed. 对单词的内部结构和单词构成规则的研究。 2. Morpheme 词素：The smallest unit of language that carries information about meaning or function. 最小的语言单位,携带信息的意义或功能。 二、知识点 3.2 Distinctions between open and close classes word 1. Open class words开放性词类: In English, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs make up the largest part of vocabulary. They are content words of a language.，which are sometimes called open class words, since new words can be added to these classes regularly. 在英语中，名词、动词、 形容词和副词占词汇的绝大部分。他们是一门语言中的实义词，由于我们经常可以在这类词中加入新词，所以他们有时也称开放性词类。 2. Close classes word封闭性词类：Conjunctions, prepositions, articles and pronouns is small and stable since few new words are added , therefore such words have been referred to as closed class words. 构成连词、介词、冠词和代词的词相对较少，通常不添加新词，所以被称为封闭性词类。

Chapter 4 Phonology(音位学) 4.1 phonetics and phonology:语音学与音位学的区分 Both phonetics and phonology are concerned with speech.语音学和音位学都士对语音的研究。 定义区别 -Phonetics is a study of the production, perception and physical properties of speech sounds. 语音学是研究语音的生产、感知和物理性质的。 -Phonology studies how speech sounds are combined，organized，and convey meanings in particular languages.研究语音如何在在特定的语言中结合、组织和表达含义。 ---Phonology is language-specific.it is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.音位学是特定于语言的。它的研究对象是自然语言中的声音是如何组织和使用的。 ---Phonetics is a study of speech sounds while phonology is a study of the sound syst em of a language.语音学是一个研究语音的然后音位学是研究一种语言的声音系统的学科。 4.2 Phonemes，phones and allophones 音位、音子、音位变体 Different languages have different phonological systems.不同的语言有不同的语音系统。 定义： ①Phones are the smallest identifiable phonetic unit or segment found in a stream of speech. 音子就是在连续的发音中可辨认的最小语音单位或片段。 ②Allophones are the phones which represent a phoneme in a language and cannot change word meaning by substituting any of the set for another.音位变体是指代表语言中音位的音子，即使以一个取代另一个也不改变词义。 ③Phonemes are the minimal distinctive units in the sound system of a language.音位是语言系统中最小的独特的单位。 Allophones are the realization of a particular phoneme while phones are the realizatio n of phonemes in general.音位变体是一个特定音素的认知而音子则是一般的音素。 4.3Minimal pairs 最小对立体 The phonologist is concerned with what difference are significant or technically speaki ng, distinctive. Minimal pair---a pair of words which differ from each other by one sound. Three conditions（情况）: 1）the two froms are different in meaning意义不同 2）the two forms are different in one sound segment声音片段不同 3）the different sounds occur in the same position of the two words.不同声音发生在两个单词的相同位置 Minimal set: a group of words can satisfy（满足）the three conditions . Minimal pairs help determine phonemes. 最小对立体用来定义音位。 4.4 identifying phonemes 识别音素 4.4.1 contrastive distribution，complementary distribution and free variation 对比分布，互补分布和自由变异 The distribution of a sound refers to the collective environments in which the sound concerned may appear.一个声音的分布是指其有关的声音可能出现的集体环境。 1）contrastive distribution对比分布 If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment and the substitution of on

Chapter 5 Semantics ?Semantics----the study of language meaning. ?Semantics is defined as the study of meaning. However, it is not the only linguistic discipline that studies meaning. ?Semantics answers the question “what does this sentence mean”. In other w ords, it is the analysis of conventional meanings in words and sentences out of context. ?Meaning is central to the study of communication. ?Classification of lexical meanings. Here are G. Leech’s seven types of meaning. ( British linguist) ? 1. Conceptual meaning (also called denotative or cognitive meaning) is the essential and inextricable part of what language is, and is widely regarded as the central factor in verbal communication. It means that the meaning of words may be discussed in terms of what they denote or refer to. ? 2. Connotative meaning – the communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, embraces the properties of the referent, peripheral ? 3. Social meaning (stylistic meaning) –what is conveyed about the social circumstances of the use of a linguistic expression ? 4. Affective meaning (affected meaning)– what is communicated of the feeling or attitude of the speaker/writer towards what is referred to ? 5. Reflected meaning – what is communicated through association with another sense of the same expression ?Taboos ? 6. Collocative meaning – the associated meaning a word acquires in line with the meaning of words which tend to co-occur with it ?(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 can be together called associative meaning–meaning that hinges on referential meaning, less stable, more culture-specific ) 7. Thematic meaning—what is communicated by the way in which the message is organized in terms of order ?What is meaning?---- Scholars under different scientific backgrounds have different understandings of language meaning. Some views concerning the study of meaning ?Naming theory (Plato) ?The conceptualist view ?Contextualism (Bloomfield) ?Behaviorism Naming theory (Plato): Words are names or labels for things. The linguistic forms or symbols, in other words, the words used in a language are taken to be labels of the objects they stand for; words are just names or labels for things ?Limitations: 1) Applicable to nouns only. 2) There are nouns which denote things that do not exist in the real world, e.g. ghost, dragon, unicorn, phenix… 3) There are nouns that do not refer to physical objects but abstract notions, e.g. joy, impulse, hatred…

简明英语语言学知识点汇总

新编简明英语语言学知识点汇总1 Introduction 1.1 What is linguistics? Scientific study of language.

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Characteristics: ①language is system,elements of language are combined according to the rules;

②language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what it stands for, A rose by any other name would smell as well; ③language is vocal because the primary medium for all language is sound; Language is a system which consists of two structures. At the lower level there is a structure of sounds,which are meaningless by themselves.But the sounds can grouped or regrouped together into a larger numbers of units of meaning such as morpheme or words,which are found at the higher level of system(carp & park).Then the higher level can be arranged and rearranged into an infinite numbers of sentences;

郭著章《英汉互译实用教程》(第4版)教材配套题库-第5章 翻译常用的八种技巧【圣才出品】

第5章翻译常用的八种技巧 5.1 重译法 一、英译汉 1. It may seem strange to put into the same packet an industrial revolution and two political revolutions. But the fact is that they were all social revolutions. 【译文】把一场工业革命同两次政治革命归作一类似乎有点奇怪，但事实上这三次革命都是社会革命。 2. Two things are outstanding in the creation of the English system of canals, and they characterise all the Industrial Revolution. 【译文】在修建英国的运河网的过程中，有两点是非常突出的，而这两点也正是整个工业革命的特点。 3. The canals were arteries of communication: they were not made to carry pleasure boats, but barges. 【译文】运河是交通的动脉，开运河不是为了走游艇，而是为了通行驳船。 4.
