一。The Development of English Vocabulary

There are about one million English words in all. English is also an international language in this society. You can see English words almost every where, even in non-English-spoken countries.

How does English come into being? Why it has so many vocabularies? In the following passage, I will give you a general picture about these two questions. The English people are of a mixed blood. The early inhabitants of the island we now call England were Britons, but in fact all the races were the invaders came from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC, but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: one is Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish; another is the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization. Then at the beginning of the fifth century Britain was invaded by three tribes from the northern Europe: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three tribes merged into one people, and the three dialects they spoke naturally grew into a single language, the English language.

But at first, the English word made up of only a small part of native words and some borrowed words. The native words were the core words of English. According to a kind of classification of language, English is classified as a Teutonic language, which is a Germanic language. To be more exact, English belongs to the low West Germanic branch of the Indo-European family. Because of the complex history of Briton, the language of English is of a mixed character. On one hand, it shares with West Germanic languages many common words and similar grammatical structures. On the other hand, more than half of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin and French. Besides, English has accepted words from other languages of the world in the course of its historical development.

The history of English language is divided into three periods:

1. the old English period ( from 450AD to 1150 AD )

2. the middle English period ( from 1150AD to 1500AD )

3. the modern English period ( from 1500AD up to now )

As I mentioned above, in fact, that there is also a period we can call it the

pre-old English period, which includes the Celts, the Scottish and Irish races and culture, and also Welsh race and culture were brought by the Celts. Then the Romans brought Latin alphabet and civilization to this land. After these two were the formation of the Anglo-Saxons people, which is the original English race and language.

Old English consists mainly about the native language of Anglo-Saxons people. The period from 450AD to 1150AD is known as the old English period, and it is

also been called Anglo-Saxons period. It is described as the period of full inflections, since during most of this period the case endings of the noun, the adjective, and the conjugation of the verb were not weakened. Also during this period, when the Norman Conquest in 1066AD brought French to England, and much of the English vocabulary was replaced by words borrowed from French and Latin.

Old English is a synthetic language. (There are two classes of languages in the world: synthetic and analytic. A synthetic language is one which shows the relation of words in a sentence largely by means of inflections. An analytic language is one which indicates the relation of words in a sentence by means of word order, prepositions or auxiliary verbs, rather than by inflections.) Old English nouns and adjectives have four cases: the nominative case, the genitive case, the dative case and the accusative case. Apart from these four cases, Latin nouns have the ablative and locative cases.

Middle English period is from 1150AD to 1500AD. During this period the inflections which had begun to break down towards the end of the old English period, became greatly reduced, and it is known as the period of leveled inflections. The Norman Conquer was the cause of this change. The change of this period had a great effect on both grammar and vocabulary. In grammar English has changed from a highly inflected language to an analytic language. In this period many old English words were lost, but thousands of words borrowed from French and Latin appeared in the English vocabulary. French influence on the English vocabulary is much more direct and observable. The number of French words that came into English was very numerous. More than half of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin.

Modern English period is from 1500 to the present. A large part of the original inflectional system has disappeared, and it is known as the period of lost inflections. We may divide this period into two parts: the early Modern English period and the Late Modern English period.

The early modern English period extends from 1500AD to 1700AD. The chief influence of this time was the great humanistic movement of the Renaissance. In this period the study of the Latin and Greek classics was stressed, so the influence of Latin and Greek on English was great.

The late modern English period started after 1700AD. The eighteenth century in England was a time of stabilizing and purifying the English language. The publication in 1755AD of A Dictionary of the English Language edited by Samuel Johnson was a typical example of consolidating and purifying the English language in this period. He set a standard for using English words in spelling, meaning and usage. In the eighteenth century French greatly influenced English. The number of French words in the period from 1650AD to 1800AD increased rapidly. Such as: ballet, cartoon, champagne, cohesion, dentist, patrol, publicity, routing, etc.

Meanwhile the territorial expansion of the English empire in this period resulted in the expansion of the English vocabulary. Thus, there are many words flow into English vocabulary, which includes American Indian words, Mexican words, Peru words, Brazil words, India and African words.

The nineteenth and twentieth centuries are a period of rapid expansion for the English vocabulary in the history of the English language. In this period many changes have taken place. Especially the great development of science and technology is reflected in the English vocabulary.

Besides, the great changes in industry, in political and social lives, in sports and amusements all have contributed a great deal to the English vocabulary. Since the Second World War the English vocabulary has been affected powerfully by social, political, economic, especially scientific and technical changes. The English vocabulary not only changes, but also changes quickly in this period. Thousands of new words are added, existing words acquire new meaning and old words die out.

Till now, the English vocabulary is still changing, some words come out and some die out. In a word, as society is constantly in a state of development, so is language. Society depends on language for its existence. As society develops new objects are created that require the invention of new words and expressions. Therefore, the changing of English vocabulary is an endless changing process.

The Lexical Features of Advertisement on Newspaper

Newspapers are generally the cheapest way to reach a mess audiences,and the timing is fast.Adverments make an important part on English Newspaper.We live in a world of advertising.Advertising provides a valuable service to society and its members,because it defines for consumers the meaning and the role of products,services and institutions.Newspaper advertisements’ main text use words for the spread of vector,and must must be simple eye-catching,because of the layout of resources.To some extent,the

newspaper advertisements content mainly rely on language to

express.Advertising language ,playing a role of communication and persuasion,has developed its own features.Naturally,advertisements in English have become an important means of communicating

ideas,demoinstrating a variety of linguistic features of its own.The present study discusses some lexical features of English advertisement texts.

ⅠChoose the simple words

Advertiment language must be easily understood terms so that readers can get information as soon as possible.In advertising,simple words can win the consumers by their exact,effective expression an d a kind of closeness.E.g.

①Take time.Any time.

Continuous using two “time” can make the language simple and clear.

②Once tasted,always loved.

The article should be clearly and concisly understood in order to arouse the interest of customers on food which make them mouth-watering.

③My goodness!My Guinness!

Common language facilitate people to memory and speak,this reproduce the scene of people driking the Guinness beer which is full of praise.

ⅡFrequent Employment of Simple Verbs

Simple verbs are frequently employed in English advertisements, which is an obvious wording characteristics of English advertising texts.Verbs are the most important part of language.It is a prominent feature in adervertising english that verbs are regularly used for the ultimate goal of advertising ,which is to enable consumers to buy their goods.So in terms of the using of words,dynamic and strong word will produce a better feeling effects.Verbs can be used to “touch”the consumer's heart.In this way,they will have impules to buy the goods.E.g.

①Drink Coca-Cola.

②I want you to sponsor a Rice Paddy Baby.

③For incredible speed and accuracy, try the Minolta 7000, the world’s first body-integral auto-focus SLR.

In the above examples, “try”,”sponsor” and “drink”are to fulfill the “get action” requirement seem more euphemistic and even more attractive.

④Get noticed. Get results.

⑤Feel the Hyatt Touch.

⑥Send today for your free sample, and try the new flavor.

After reading the above ads, we feel encouraged to take buying action or make repeated purchases. The active voice doesn’t force people to take the passive action while it makes people feel that they do something of their own accord. Ⅲ. Adjectives

⑴It is hard for us to think of any really persuasive message without the use of descriptive and vivid adjectives. Copywriters like to use a large number of adjectives not only to describe the quality and features of the products or services, but to a great extent to praise and beautify them.

E.g.

For people who care about their bodies, Dairy Farm brings fresh skimmed milk. With almost no fat, it keeps your body fit inside and outside, fresh skimmed milk. Fresh Dairy Farm.

The adjective “fresh” in Example appears three times to emphasize how fresh the product is, making its quality particularly attra ctive. And the adjective “fit” points out the remarkable function of the product.

⑵The copywriter tends to select the superlative or comparative forms of adjectives that carry positive meanings so as to make a comparison and stress the wonderful qualities of the advertised product. E.g.

①Using Dove, I do feel 20 years younger.

“Younger” just emphasizes the magic power of the product.

②Discover the season’s newest splendor.

The word “newest” , which is an advertisement of a kind of perfume, means “fashionable to the highest degree”.

Of course, the advertisers must make sure that the advertised goods or services are actually the best in the same category.Sometimes people do not know how superb the goods or the services are in quality. Anyhow, people tend to believe what is said in advertisements.

Ⅳ.New Words Constantly Appear

In order to attract people’s attention, copywriters like to create some new words which are more active. The new words are mainly used for truthfulness, humor or emphasis in English advertising texts. E.g.

①Surefit Shoe Ltd.

“Surefit” is a new word which makes consurms thing of a sentence”Surely to fit your feet”.That means the shoes are fot for your feet.

②Give a Timex to all, and to all a good time.

The well-known watch brand “Timex” is a variation of “Time + Excellent”, wh ich persuasively shows the merit of the watch brand. Thus, brand names get and retain a unique image.

Ⅴ.Pronous

Pronouns of the first and second person: we, I and you outnumber the other pronouns in advertisements. It is because that you, we and I help create a friend-like intimate atmosphere to move and persuade the audience. The audience will easily accept a product, a service or an idea as if a good friend recommended them.Sometimes,we use infinitive pronouns,such as

all,everyone,none,nothing and so on in order to feflect the extraordinary

characteristics of a particular commodity or it has been spending and receiving most of people.E.g.

Our finest time.

It is about a well-known red wine.A pair of lover drink together at romantic atmosphere.

Ⅵ.Compound words

A compound word is often a noun or an adjective made up of two or more words which are frequently used to express more information in limited space. Especially,compound adjectives are often seen in advertisements.E.g.

Kodak Single-use-came ras take pictures where you wouldn’t normally take your camera.

It used the compound word skillfully and describe the capability and function of the product incisively and vividly.

Now we have briefly discussed the six wording characteristics of English advertisements. We have got to know that simple verbs and concise adjectives are very important words in English advertising, and that new words which are attractively used to stress the new and special qualities or functions of the advertised products. Language in advertising presents us with a colorful, interesting and wonderful world in order to serve the purpose of attracting advertising readers. Of course, besides the above features discussed in this study, there is much more for further study in advertising language.

成绩 Root and Affixation of Lexicology Abstract: It’s important and permanent to master the vocabulary in the English learning. Everyone who has ever set foot on English realizes that it’s somewhat incredible for us to reciting numerous and difficult words. Nevertheless, there are some skills we should acquire to make word-recitation easier and more effective. This paper mainly discusses the using of vocabulary root and affix. Only by having a good knowledge of the roots and affixes, can we prosper our English vocabulary and further our English study. Key words: root; affixation; detailed analysis; difficult words 1Introduction: Blindly reciting numerous and difficult words is a total waste of time and energy. Especially, situation becomes worse for the college students with little words storage and non-interest. However, most of the English words are comprised with roots and affixes, which are limited, stable and short. If we acquire them, it will be much simpler and rapider for us to recognize the unfamiliar and difficult words through the analysis on roots and affixes. If we can master and know how to use them properly, it will be a big step for the further study of this foreign language. A road of a thousand miles begins with each single step, so does the English words. Now we are going to learn the root and affixation respectively. Definition is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity and it carries the main component of meaning in a word. By learning the roots, we will find it not complicated for us to understand the long and difficult words which we often encounter in the tough reading test. However long and tough the word is, we can divide it into several parts, the fundamental part is the root and then we can understand what it means and fluently blurt it out without repeating it. Here are some detail analyses of the examples: Internationalist: nation is the root which means country or state, inter- is prefix meaning between or interactive, -al is the suffix and the –ist is the suffix meaning the person. So you will quite simply find its meaning. Invigorate: the root is vigor similar to power and energy, in- means making sth have the function of verb, here is make sth vigor, -ate is the verb suffix. So invigorate is to make sth vigorous. Antecedent: -ced- is the root referring to motion or going forward, ante- is before, and –ent means somebody. So antecedent is somebody who moves ahead of us, the same as forefather or ancestor. Protract: -tract is the root like pulling sth or extending sth make it wider or longer, pro- is the prefix meaning “ahead”. After analyzing this word, we know that “protract” is similar to prolong meaning make sth longer or longer to live. A lot of words contain this root, such as detract, extract, subtract, attract, tractable, intractable, etc. Arbitrariness: arbitrary is the root indicating to randomness or out of order, -ness is the noun suffix. The profound meaning of learning roots is that you will find it much easy to memorize words because there are so many word share the same root. No matter how long and hoe difficult the word is, the basic meaning of the word is stable and unchangeable. If we recite words according the

英语词汇学总结(细致)

Chapter 1Word-Structure 1. The definition of morpheme 1.1 What is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit of language?- morpheme What are words composed of? - Words are formed by morphemes. A word is the smallest unit that stands alone to communicate meaning. 1.2 What are the Chinese equivalents对应词of morpheme? 语素词素-形位 2.1 Morphemes may be classified into free and bound. Free morphemes, also called content morphemes, may constitute words by themselves. These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. So we may say that free morphemes are free roots. Bound morphemes = Bound root + affixes, known as grammatical morphemes, must appear with at least one other morpheme, either free or bound. Bound morphemes are chiefly found in derived words, e.g. recollection, idealistic, ex-prisoner 2.2 Morphemes may also be classified into roots (or root morphemes) and affixes (or affixational morphemes). Task: (1) Read the following words and find the root in each word. heart, hearten, dishearten, heartless, hearty, heartiness, sweetheart, heartbroken, kind-hearted, whole-heartedly. (2) What is your definition of root? A root is the part of the word-form which remains when all the affixes have been removed. (3) Is a root necessarily a free morpheme? Why? 2.2.1 Two types of roots - Free root In English, many roots are free morphemes, such as black in black, blackboard, blacksmith. - Bound root However, there are quite a number of roots which cannot exist on their own and thus belong to the class of bound morphemes. For example, ceive in receive, conceive, perceive, deceive; mit in permit, commit, submit; tain in retain, contain, maintain; cur in recur, occur, incur, etc. these roots cannot be used to form new words. 2.2.2 Two types of affixes Affix is a collective term for the type of formative (构词成分) that can be used only when added to another morpheme. - Inflectional affixes (or inflectional morphemes) serve to express the following meanings: (1) plurality: e.g. -s in chairs, pens; -es in boxes, tomatoes; en in oxen. (2) the genitive case: e.g. ’s in boy’s, children’s. (3) the verbal endings: for example, a. -(e)s in words like eats, teaches shows the third person singular present tense. b. -ing in words like eating, teaching shows the present participle or gerund. c. -(e)d in words like worked, saved shows the past tense or past participle. (4) the comparative and superlative degrees: e.g. -er in words like smaller, harder; -est in words like smallest, hardest. - Derivational affixes (or derivational morphemes)can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes. ?(1) Prefixes are affixes before the root, e.g: unjust, rewrite. As a rule, most prefixes modify the meaning of roots, but not their parts of speech.

英语词汇学期末论文

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

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

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

英语词汇学论文(浅谈英语词汇的发展)

英语是当今国际性最强的语言。对学习英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对英语知识的掌握会是一个很大的促进。英语是当今国际性最强的语言。在全世界用得最广的10种语言中,英语居首,虽然说汉语的人数占世界首位,但说英语的人在世界上分布最广。对学英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对学习英语不仅是一个很大的促进,而且随着英语在我国经济、商业各部门的地位Et趋重要,对英语词汇的发展有个大概的了解,会为较快地扩大词汇量,掌握更多的英语知识铺平道路。一种民族语言及其词汇的发展与民族的历史密切相关。要了解英语词汇的发展史,不可避免地跟整个英语的发展史,及至英国的历史是密不可分的。不列颠群岛的最早居民是克尔特人。公元前55年,罗马人在凯撒大帝的率领下入侵不列颠群岛,克尔特人被赶入威尔士和苏格兰的深山之中。这一时期,在英国历史上称为罗马占领时期。直到公元410年,罗马占领时期才告结束。随后,来自德国北部平原的三个13耳曼部落盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人开始来到不列颠定居,英语就是盎格鲁——撒克逊人的语言。语言史家一般把英语的历史分为三个时期:古英语时期;中古英语时期;现代英语时期。一、古英语时期:又称盎格鲁——撒克逊时期。13耳曼部落在不列颠定居以后,各自占领了一地区。盎格鲁人占领了泰晤士河以北的英格兰大部地区和苏格兰的低地;撤克逊人占领了泰晤士河以南的大部分地区;朱特人占领了肯特郡一带地区。由于全国长期没有统一,所以,古英语时期存在着多种方言,其中撒克逊语曾一度占主导地位,在英语形成过程中起了重要作用。古英语的词汇有着浓厚的13耳曼语族的特点,这主要表现为复合法是重要的构词方法,复合词在古英语词汇中占有显著地位。据统计,在英语史诗《贝奥伍夫》的3000行诗句中,竞有1069个复合词,像fifteen,Sunday,Monday等都在其中。古英语时期有两个重要历史事件给英语词汇带来较大影响。第一件事是基督教传人英国。公元597年,一个名叫奥古斯丁的牧师从罗马来英国传教,罗马文化随着基督教传人英国。与此同时,一批拉丁词汇进入英语,像表示家庭用具的词如kettle,cup;表示植物名称的词有pear,beet;以及street,wall,wine等。此外,还有大批与宗教有关的拉丁词汇进入英语,像creed,pope,priest,gospel等。第二件事是北欧人人侵英国。从公元790年开始,大量斯堪的纳维亚人在英国定居,丹麦国王卡纽特还一度成为英国的君主。斯堪的纳维亚人和英国人交往频繁,很多斯堪的纳维亚词汇进入英语。这表现在:1、英语中的一些常用代词(they,them,their,both,same等)都来自斯堪的纳维亚语。2、与普通百姓的13常生活有关的很多词汇来自斯堪的纳维亚语。如:名词有anger,egg,fellow,gate,husband等;形容词有happy,ill,weak,wrong等;动词有call,get,give,lift,raise等。这些斯堪的纳维亚词汇至今仍在英语中广泛使用。二、中古英语时期:公元1066年,诺曼人在威廉率领下,横渡英吉利海峡,在哈斯丁战役中击溃了盎格鲁撒克逊军队。英王哈罗德战死,英国被征服,这在历史上称为诺曼征服。诺曼征服对英语的发展有巨大的影响。早在诺曼征服以前,法语词汇就开始进入英语。英法两国隔海相望,历史上两国交往频繁,在古代和中世纪,两国的王室、贵族通婚时有发生。以诺曼征服为起点的中古英语时期,约有10000多法语词汇进入英语,其中75%流传至今并仍在使用。诺曼征服以后,英国结束了分裂状态,置于中央集权的封建制度统治之下。诺曼人占据了教会和政府的一切重要职务。以后的二、三百年间,诺曼法语成为英国的官方语言,普通人仍然说英语,但英语的文字记载几乎中断。直到1204年以后,英语才逐渐恢复主导地位。15世纪,伦敦标准方言兴起。这一时期,英语词汇的变化相当显著,由于诺曼法语度是英国统治阶级的语言,大批法语词汇涌入英语,这在政治、宗教、法律、军事、社交、服饰、饮食——凡是与统治阶级有关的一切领域都有反映。法语词成为这些领域所用词语的主体。据说,一个受过相当教育的英国人,即使没

英语词汇学的论文怎 么写

英语词汇学的论文怎么写? 英语词汇学习 在英语词汇学习过程中,学习者要遵循第二语言习得的规律,掌握并灵活运用多种词汇学习策略。可分为词汇表策略、语境策略、精加工策略、语义场策略。 一.词汇表策略(Word list strategy ) 词汇表策略一般为:一列是按字母顺序排列的英语单词,另一列是这些单词的汉语意思(等值词、同义词或近义词)。有些学者认为,通过词汇表策略能够迅速且有效地学会大量的词汇。然而,Gaims 和 Redman 却指出,通过词汇表记忆词汇会阻碍对所记词汇进行充分地处理和系统地组织,因此就失去了有效的长时记忆的基础。语言大师桂诗春教授也认为,词汇表策略既费时又费力,徒劳无功,因为这种做法不仅把外语的词语和母语的词语等同起来,而且把它从语言和语境中孤立出来。 二.语境策略( Context strategy ) 语境策略就是学习者通过上下文语言环境所提供的信息对出现在语境中的生词进行猜测,从而习得这个单词。语境策略是目前比较流行的词汇学习策略之一,它不仅仅可以扩大词汇量,而且可以让学生了解有关目的语的文化知识。但是,Channell ( Carter &McCarthy ,1988:89 ) 认为,音节认知和重音认知对学习者理解词汇起着非常重要的作用。为了更好地理解词汇,学习新单词的方法应使学习者准确地内化和吸收新单词:即学会单个音标的发音、了解音节数、掌握重音位置。从这一方面来看,运用语境策略学习词汇不能算是一个很好的方法。 三.精加工策略( Elaborative strategy )

精加工策略是指通过对学习材料进行深入细致的分析、加工,理解其内在的深层意义并促进记忆的一种策略。皮连生(1998)在《学与教的心理学》一书中也曾提到:“精细加工策略”(同“精加工策略”)指对学习材料作精细的加工活动,即通过在要记忆的材料上增加相关的信息来达到对新的材料记忆的学习方法。如对材料补充细节、举出例子、作出推论或使之与其它观念形成联想等,旨在为知识的检索提取提供新的途径,为知识的构建提供额外的信息。精加工策略的关键是将学习者头脑中已有的经验与要学习的词汇联系起来,充分利用已有的经验对要学习的词进行深水平的加工,使其合理化、富有意义,进而达到理解、记忆的目的。学习者已经掌握的熟悉的母语知识或外语知识、头脑中生动鲜明的形象以及其他多种相关的知识经验等都可以作为已有的经验加以利用。 最常用的精加工策略是联想。联想又可以分为:词缀联想、对比联想、关系联想、接近联想、相似联想等。心理学认为,联想反映了客观事物之间的联系。它在促进人的记忆、想象、思维等心理活动中占有重要的地位。在运用联想学习词汇时,通过串联归类,纵横联系,辨析分解,在脑际建立相互依存的知识结构,从而战胜遗忘,增强记忆。例如:词缀联想。在学习词缀 -tion时,学习者可以联想-tion构成的词汇:corporation , administration , competition , congratulation , description 等。通过词缀联想,学习者可以学一个会一串,迅速地扩大词汇量。Krashen 在“输入假设”( input hypothesis ) 中也提到:只有接受可理解性输入( comprehensible input ),语言习得才会产生。精加工策略,可以建立形象与词汇之间的联系,使抽象的材料具体化,使学习者要记忆的目标词转化为可理解性输入,这一信息加工过程遵循了 Krashen 的“输入假设”,是一种行之有效的英语词汇学习策略。 四.语义场策略( Semantic field strategy ) 语义场理论是德国学者 J.Tries (引自伍谦光,1995:94)最先提出来的。这个理论的核心就是探讨词所表达的类概念与词表达的种概念之间的关系。根据这

英语词汇学论文(中文版) 单词记忆法细谈 一,读音规则记忆法 它就是按照元音字母、元音字母组合、辅音字母及辅音字母组合在开音节和闭音节的读音规律记忆。例如:ea,ee,er,ir,ur,or分别能发[i:][:][:]等。还有些固定的字母组合,例如:ing发[i],ly发[li],ty发[ti]和各种前缀、后缀,例如:a-,re-,un-,dis-,im-;-ed,-ing,-ly,-er,-or,-ful,-y等都有其比较固定的发音。掌握了这些规则,记单 词时就不必一个字母一个字母地记忆了。 二.字母变化记忆法 英语单词中以某个单词为基础,加、减、换、调一个字母就成了另一个新单词。具体方法 如下: 1.前面加字母。例如:is/his,ear/near/hear,read/bread 2.后面加字母。例如:hear/heart,you/your,plane/planet 3.中间加字母。例如:though/through,tree/three,for/four 4.减字母。例如:she/he,close/lose,star/tstar 5.换字母。例如:book/look/cook,cake/lake/wake/make/take 6.调字母(即改变字母顺序)。例如:blow/bowl,sing/sign, from/form 三.联想记忆法

在日常生活中可以根据所处的环境,所见到、所摸到的事物,联想相关的英语单词。例如: 打球时联想到:ball,(play)basketball,(play)football,(play)volleyball,playground等等;吃饭时联想到:dining-room,(have)breakfast,(have)lunch,(have)supper等等;睡觉 时联想到:bed,bedroom,gotobed,sleep,gotosleep,fallasleep等等。如果长期坚持下支,效果就会很好。 四.归类记忆法 众所周知,单词本身、单词与单词之间都存在着或多或少的联系,英语词汇中 有许多单词有着其近义词、反义词、一词多义、一词多音、同音词或形音形似词等内 在或外在的联系。因此,记忆单词的主要方法是把单词之间存在的这种联系挖掘归纳 出来,通过对比、对照的方式把学过的单词从各个方面进行归类 1.按词的构造归类 按词跟、前缀、后缀、合成词归类,找出词与词最本质 的联系。这种联系不仅使新词记得快、记得牢、记得久,而 且也同时复习了大量的旧词。合成词,如: schoolbag,school-boy,classroom,football,blackboard,etc. 前缀后缀词,如:unhappy,unhealthy,unfriendly,unlucky,worker,writer,visitor,us

在认知语言理论指导下的中学英语词汇教学的启发 摘要:英语教学追根溯源是一种语言的教学,因此若想要成功地完成英语教学任务就要引用语言学的理论作为指导。词汇是英语学习中一个重要环节,对于英语学习者来说词汇不足是英语学习的最大障碍。针对中小学英语 课堂词汇教学的实际问题,本文以语言学理论为指导,探讨了如何找到 更为科学的理论来指导词汇教学,培养学生有效地词汇学习方法,提出 词汇教学中要重视基本范畴词的学习,重视词汇讲解方法,从而提高学 生学习词汇的兴趣和教学质量。 关键词:语言学习理论;英语词汇;教学;方法

在认知语言理论指导下的中学英语词汇教学的启发 英语教学离不开基础理论——语言学,词汇知识是语言能力的一个重要组成部分。在语言学习的发展过程中,语言学的三要素—语音,语法,词汇,起初阶段语言学家的研究领域在语音—语言学和音位学方面,后来集中在语法学方面,而忽视了对词汇学的研究。在实际的教学中,教师在课堂上往往能够系统地讲授语音学和语法学理论,很少在课堂上系统地讲授词汇学原理,而学生在英语学习中最大的难点就是如何学习和掌握词汇。 一.与词汇教学密切相关的认知语言学理论 认知语言学是20世纪80年代在美国和欧洲兴起的新的语言学科,处于语言研究的前沿,是现代语言学研究的重要课题。从20世纪90年代起认知语言学在我国得到蓬勃的发展,对于语言研究的各个方面都起着重要的启示和指导作用。词汇研究一直是认知语言学的重要内容之一。 1.范畴理论 认知语言学认为人们在对周围事物的认知过程中,把世界上相同或相似的事物在认知中组织在一起,并赋予它们语言符号,于是形成了范畴。基本等级范畴是人类对事物进行分类最基本的心理等级,是人与自然,社会相互作用最直接,相关性最大的关联点。基本范畴理论为英语词汇教学提供了非常好的理论基础。范畴化是人们对事物分类时的心理过程,范畴是范畴化得到的结果[1]。范畴化是人类基本认知能力之一。一个范畴是一个模糊的集合,为认知语言学的研究提供了新的研究思路和方法,有些认知语言学家已经在改理论的启迪下进行了语义范畴的研究。如P. Kay 和 C. K. McDaniel 在模糊集合论的引导下设计了一系列关于颜色光谱性质和人类视觉神经系对颜色词范畴的感知实验,在颜色词研究领域做出了许多有价值的发现(吴世雄,陈炜振,2004)[2]。 2.隐喻研究 隐喻的本质问题一直是语言学家,心理学家,哲学家等所共同关注讨论的问题,尤其是二十世纪以来,隐喻更多是作为横跨心理学,哲学,语言学等学科的多维性研究课题。七十年代后欧美学者对隐喻的研究出现了狂热时期,他们从语言学的角度透视隐喻的实质,在更广泛的层面上讨论隐喻在人类认知社会活动的重要作用。 隐喻中的本体和喻体是两个不同的事物,代表两种不同的概念域,将本体和喻体并置将产生两种不同事物不能融合的矛盾,但是本体和喻体特征之间的互动将会使得本体和喻体在一定的意义中达到一定的统一并获得隐喻的意义。Lakoff & Johnson [3] 指出,“隐喻无所不在,在我们的语言中,思想中。其实我们人类的概念系统就是建立在隐喻之上的”。他们认为隐喻的本质是通过另一类事物来理解和经历一类事物的方式,是人类在感知体验的基础上,用具体的、已知的、熟悉的事物来理解抽象的、未知的和不熟悉的事

浅谈中国语言规划 ——李宇明《中国语言规划论》读后感内容摘要:21世纪,发达国家和正在迅速发展的国家,纷纷跨入信息化时代,语言文字的信息化成为了国家信息化的关键,更是经济大国的整体风貌的体现。李宇明所著商务印书馆出版的《中国语言规划论》,是我所接触语言学书籍里面最具代表性的一本。他在书中通过对多篇文章的论述,明确的表述了自己的观点以及对现在所存在的问题的思考,引入我进入到了语言学里更为广阔的一片天地。 主题词:语言发展中国规划 语言是人类社会特有的现象。人们通过语言传递信息,表达感情。在人类社会发展和生活中,语言犹如空气和水一样必不可少。21世纪,发达国家和正在迅速发展的国家,纷纷跨入信息化时代,语言文字的信息化成为了国家信息化的关键,更是经济大国的整体风貌的体现。李宇明所著商务印书馆出版的《中国语言规划论》,是我所接触语言学书籍里面最具代表性的一本,他在书中通过对多篇文章的论述,明确的表述了自己的观点以及对现在所存在的问题的思考,引入我进入到了语言学里更为广阔的一片天地。 “语言规划”这个名称从词源史来说时间并不长,1957年美国哥伦比亚大学语言学家威因里希才第一次提出。《中国语言规划论》并不是第一本写语言规划的书,但却是具代表性的一本书,通过《中国当前语言文字工作任务》、《信息时代语言文字工作任务》、《信息时

代的中国语言问题》《语言学发展的新机遇》、《信息时代需要更高水平的语言文字规范》等多篇文章的论述,清楚的描述了自己的见解并阐述了时代赋予我国语言文字工作者的神圣使命。同时他的文章是站到时代高端去审视国家的语言问题。更值得我深深地了解到真谛。 1《中国语言规划论》的内容特点 1.1站位高,展现强烈的时代气息,这是《中国语言规划论》一书的一个重要特点。 中国正在向经济大国阔步迈进,中国的语言文字工作者必须站到时代潮头,与时俱进的思考自己的工作如何让才能跟历史车轮同进。一些“传统任务”的完成,比如普通话的推广、现行汉字的整理和汉语拼音方案的推行,也应提升到信息化的高度来统筹规划。 1.2有思路,明确提出自己意见,这是《中国语言规划论》一书的又一个重要特点。 《我国的语言生活问题》一文提出四个思路:其一,促使汉语成为国际强势语言;其二,争取汉语在虚拟世界里的地位;其三,处理好外语与母语的关系;其四,保护濒危语言。《通过语言文字规范标准的建设》的一文提出三个思路:其一,建设规范标准的理想体系;其二,建立科学的运作机制;其三,处理好刚与柔、学理与俗实、制定与维护、科学性与时效性等关系。诸如此类的论说,不可能全是创新,却表明了作者很有主见。 1.3讲品味,重视学术层面的探讨,这是《中国语言规划论》一书的再一个重要特点。

Lexical motivation and implications for language learning and teaching Introduction Most English words are conventional, arbitrary symbols. There is no connection between the word form and its meaning. Some English words are motivated symbols. What is motivation? Motivation means relation between the form of the word and the original fact or reality. More specifically, if there is a relationship between phonic (sound) form of a word/lexeme and an object/fact of extra-lingual reality, or between a new word and the original word, we speak of motivated words. There are four principal types of motivation: Onomatopoeic motivated, syntactically motivated, semantically motivated and etymologically motivated. 1)Onomatopoeic motivation means defining the principle of motivation by sound. The sounds of such words as cuckoo, ding-dong, swish, buzz, seem to be appropriate to their senses. Some of these onomatopoeic terms have certain elements in common. For Example, the sounds / sn / may express three types of experiences: "breath-noise (sniff, snuff, snore, snort), "quick separation or movement" (snip, snap, snatch), and "creeping" (snake, snail, sneak, snoop). Another interesting feature of onomatopoeic patterns is that they often work by vowel alternation. By substituting one vowel for another one can express different noises: snip - snap, sniff - snuff, flip - flap - flop. It should be noted that many onomatopoeic forms are based on alternations of not vowels but of initial consonants: higgledy-piggledy, helter-skelter, namby-pamby, roly-poly, etc. 2)Syntactic motivation means that by analyzing the formation of the word, one can gain the meaning of it. Apparently, words which have syntactic motivation are almost derivative or compound words. So, syntactic motivation, namely, the syntactic relations between the two bases of compounds, account for a large part of self-explaining compounds. A possible sub classification of compound nouns could be made by the part of speech of each base. 'Daydreaming' and 'sightseeing' are compound nouns from 'N+V-ing'. And others such as teacher, worker, leader, and singer, etc --- these derivative words are not non-motivation. They all consist of a verb and –er. These words mean people who do these actions. And from the affix of the derivation words, we can often infer their meaning. Take collapse for example. It is made up of col (which means doing things together) and lapse (which means falling down), so the word means falling down together. And then we can imagine it into subside or cave in. But we can not take this regulation for granted. Eggplant has no egg in side; pineapple has neither pine nor apple; and there’s no ham in hamburger at all. Some abrogative words have allegoric significance, so their motivation is unobvious. For example, night-cap means the wine drunk before sleep instead of the cap used for sleep. 3)Semantic motivation means that motivation is based on semantic factors. It is a kind of mental association. When we speak of the bonnet or the hood of a car, of a coat of paint, or of potatoes cooked in their jackets, these expressions are
