Langue(语言):

the language system shared by a “speech community”.

一个“语言社团”共有的语言系统。

Parole(言语):

the concrete utterances of a speaker.

说话人实际说的话语。

Phonology(音系学):

the study of the sound patterns and sound systems of language. It aims to discover the principles

that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur.

International Phonetic Alphabet(国际音标):

a set of standard phonetic symbols in the form of a chart (the IPA chart), designed by the International Phonetic Association since 1888. It has been revised from time to time to include

new discoveries and changes in phonetic theory and practice.

Cardinal Vowels(基本元音):

a set of vowel qualities arbitrarily defined, fixed and unchanging, intended to provide a frame of

reference for the description of the actual vowels of existing languages.

Assimilation(同化现象):

a process by which one sound takes on some or all the characteristics of a neighboring sound, a

If a following sound is influencing a

term often used synonymously with “coarticulation”.

preceding sound, it is called regressive ”assimilation”; the converse process, in which a preceding sound is influencing a following sound, is known as progressive ”assimilation”.Maximal Onset Principle(最大节首原则):

a principle for dividing the syllable when there is a cluster of consonants between two vowels,

which states that when there is a choice as to where to place a consonant, it is put into the onset

rather than the coda.

Morpheme(语素):

the smallest unit of language in terms of the relationship between expression and content, a unit

that cannot be divided into further smaller units without destroying or drastically altering the meaning, whether it is lexical or grammatical.

Inflection(屈折变化):

is the manifestation of grammatical relationship through the addition of inflectional affixes such

as number, person, finiteness, aspect and cases to which they are attached.

Derivation(派生词):

is the most common word-formation process to be found in the production of new English words.

It is accomplished by means of a large number of affixes of English language, and shows the relationship between roots and affixes.

Bound morpheme(黏着语素):

refer to those which cannot occur alone and must appear with at least one other morpheme.

Free morpheme(自由语素):

refer to those which may occur alone or which may constitute words by themselves.

Grammatical word(语法词):

refer to those which mainly work for constructing group, phrase, clause complex, or even text,

such as, conjunctions, prepositions, articles, and pronouns. Grammatical words serve to link together different content parts.

Lexical word(词汇词):

refer to those which mainly work for referring to substance, action and quality, such as nouns,

verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Lexical words carry the main content of a language.

Closed-class(封闭类):

A word that belongs to the CLOSED-CLASS is one whose membership is fixed or limited, such as pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, articles, and others. One cannot easily add or deduce a new member.

Open-class(开放类):

is one whose membership is in principle infinite or unlimited. When new ideas, inventions, or discoveries emerge, new members are continually and constantly being added to the lexicon. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and many adverbs are all open-class items.

Syntax(句法):

the study of the rules governing the ways different constituents are combined to form sentences

in a language, or the study of the interrelationships between elements in sentence structures.

Co-occurrence(共现):

It means that words of different sets of clauses may permit, or require, the occurrence of a word

of another set or class to form a sentence or a particular part of a sentence.

Endocentric(向心结构):

endocentric construction is one whose distribution is functionally equivalent to that of one or more of its constituents, which serves as a definable Center or Head of the whole.

Exocentric(离心结构):

exocentric construction refers to a group of syntactically related words where none of the words

or

is functionally equivalent to the group as a whole, that is, there is no definable “Centre” 

“Head” inside the group.

Subordination(从属关系):

refers to the process or result of linking linguistic units so that they have different syntactic status, one being dependent upon the other, and usually a constituent of the other. The subordinate constituents are words which modify the head. Consequently, they can be called modifiers. Coordination(并列):

a common syntactic pattern in English and other languages formed by grouping together two or more categories of the same type with the help of a conjunction such as and, but and or . Cohesion:

refers to relations of meaning that exist within the text, that define it as a text.

Synonymy(同义关系):

synonymy is the technical name for one of the sense relations between linguistic units, namely

the sameness relation.

Semantic components(语义成分):

semantic components, or semantic features, are semantic units smaller than the meaning of a word. For example, the meaning of the word boy may be analysed into three components: HUMAN, YOUNG and MALE.

Psycholinguistics(心理语言学):

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

Language acquisition(语言习得):

language acquisition is one of the central topics in psycholinguistics. Acquiring a first language is something every child does successfully, in a matter of a few years and without the need for formal lessons. Four phases are identified and acknowledged in the process of language acquisition: holophrastic stage, two-word stage, three-word utterances, and, fluent grammatical conversation stage.

cohort model(集群模型):

The cohort model is a supposed doctrine dealing with the spoken word recognition postulated by Marslen-Wilson and Welsh in 1990, it is suggested that the first few phonemes of a spoken word activate a set or cohort of word candidates that are consistent with the input. These candidates compete with one another for activation. As more acoustic input is analyzed, candidates that are

no longer consistent with the input drop out of the set. This process continues until only one word candidate matches the input; the best fitting word may be chosen if no single candidate is a clear winner.

interactive model(交互模型):

The interactive model holds that in recognizing the spoken words higher processing levels have a direct, “top-down” influence on lower levels. Lexical knowledge can affect the perception of phonemes. There is interactivity in the form of lexical effects on the perception of sublexical units.

In certain cases, listeners’ knowledge of words can lead to the inhibition of certain phonemes; in

phonemes that have been removed from the speech

other cases, listeners continue to “hear” 

signal and replaced by noise.

serial model(串行模型):

Serial model proposes that the sentence comprehension system continually and sequentially

follows the constraints of a language’s grammar with remarkable speed. Serial model describes how the processor quickly constructs one or more representations of a sentence based on a restricted range of information that is guaranteed to be relevant to its interpretation, primarily

grammatical information. Any such representation is then quickly interpreted and evaluated,

using the full range of information that might be relevant.

parallel model(并行模型):

Parallel model emphasizes that the comprehension system is sensitive to a vast range of information, including grammatical, lexical, and contextual, as well as knowledge of the

speaker/writer and of the world in general. Parallel model describes how the processor uses all

relevant information to quickly evaluate the full range of possible interpretations of a sentence. It

is generally acknowledged that listeners and readers integrate grammatical and situational knowledge in understanding a sentence.

figure-ground alignment(图形-背景关系):

Figure-ground alignment seems to apply to space with the ground as the prepositional object and

the preposition expressing the spatial relational configuration. It also applies to human perception of moving objects. Since the moving object is typically the most prominent one,

because it is moving, it is typically the figure, while the remaining stimuli constitute the ground.

basic level category(基本层次范畴):

Basic level category is the most economical level at which you can find the most relevant information. The information on our interactions with objects in the real world are stored at this

level. It is at this level that we conjure up the general gestalt of the category.

image schema(意象图式):

Image schema is a recurring, dynamic pattern of our perceptual interactions and motor programs

that gives coherence and structure to our experience.

Metaphor(隐喻):

Metaphor involves the comparison of two concepts in that one is construed in terms of the other.

It’s often described i n terms of a target domain and a source domain. The target domain is the

experience being described by the metaphor and the source domain is the means that we use in

order to describe the experience.

Metonymy(转喻):

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

that of another.

Communicative Competence(交际能力):

vs.

is a sociolinguistic rule put forward by Dell Hymes in contrast with the “competence” “performance” dichotomy in theoretic linguistics.

Context of Situation(语境理论):

is a framework put forward by Firth. This theory has the following elements (Firth, 1950: 43-44

[Palmer, 1981: 53-54]).

A. The relevant features of the participants: persons, personalities:

(i) The verbal action of the participants.

(ii) The non-verbal action of the participants.

B. The relevant objects.

C. The effects of the verbal action.

Ethnography of Communication(交际民族学):

is an authoritative research framework of our time in a linguistic study of social and cultural

factors (Hymes, 1962).

Speech Community(话语群体):

refers to a group of people who “share not only the same rules of speaking, but at least one

(Hymes, 1972: 52) SPEAKING: is a mnemonic way of summarizing

linguistic variety as well.” 

certain components of speech which make possible the description and analysis of

communicative behavior: S=Situation(场景), P=Participants(参与者), E=Ends(目的), A=Act

sequence(相关形式与内容), K=Key(语气), I=Instrumentalities(语式), N=Norms(准则),

and G=Genres(体裁).

Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis(萨丕尔--沃尔夫假设):

is a theoretic assumption which suggests that our language helps mould our way of thinking and,

consequently, different languages may probably express speakers' unique ways of understanding

the world. In a loose sense, this term can be interchangeably used with linguistic relativity and

linguistic determinism.

Variationist Linguistics(语言变体):

is a theoretic framework advanced by William Labov to study how language variation and change

take place in different social contexts or geographic districts under the influence of social factors

such as economics, education, class, gender, style, and so on. The method it uses is basically

quantitative, but qualitative instruments have recently been introduced in this branch of linguistic

research for a better description and explanation of the data collected.

performative(施为句):

A performative is a sentence like “I name this ship the Queen Elizabeth”, which does not desc things and cannot be said to be true or false. The uttering of a performative sentence is, or is a

part of, the doing of an action. Verbs like “name” are known as performative verbs.

locutionary act(发话行为):

The locutionary act is the ordinary act we perform when we speak, i.e. we move our vocal organs

and produce a number of sounds, organized in a certain way and with a certain meaning. For

we could say he produced a sound, word or

example, when somebody says “Morning!”,

sentence—“Morning!”

perlocutionary act(取效行为):

The perlocutionary act concerns the consequential effects of a locution upon the hearer. By

telling somebody something the speaker may change the opinion of the hearer on something, or

mislead him, or surprise him, or induce him to do something, etc. Whether or not these effects

are intended by the speaker, they can be regarded as part of the act that the speaker has

performed.

illocutionary act(行事行为):

The illocutionary act is the act performed in the performing of a locutionary act. When we speak

we not only produce some units of language with certain meanings, but also make clear our

purpose in producing them, the way we intend them to be understood, or they also have certain

we can say it has the force of a

forces as Austin prefers to say. In the example of “Morning!” 

greeting, or it ought to have been taken as a greeting.

cooperative principle(合作原则):

This is the principle suggested by Grice about the regularity in conversation, which reads

your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the

There are four

accepted purpose or direct ion of the talk exchange in which you are engaged”.

categories of maxims under it, namely, quantity maxims, quality maxims, relation maxim, and

manner maxims.

conversational implicature(会话含义):

This is a type of implied meaning, which is deduced on the basis of the conventional meaning of

words together with the context, under the guidance of the CP and its maxims. In this sense,

implicature is comparable to illocutionary force in speech act theory in that they are both

concerned with the contextual side of meaning, or 言外之意in Chinese.

entailment(衍推):

This is a logical relationship between two sentences in which the truth of the second necessarily

follows from the truth of the first, while the falsity of the first follows from the falsity of the

second. For example, when “I saw a boy” is true, “I saw a child” is necessarily true; and if child” is not true, “I saw a boy” will not be true either.

third-person narrator(第三人称叙述者):

If the narrator is not a character in the fictional world, he or she is usually called a THIRD-PERSON

NARRATOR, because reference to all the characters in the fictional world of the story will involve

the use of the third-person pronouns, he, she, it or they. This type of narrator is arguably the

dominant narrator type.

i-narrator(第一人称叙述者):

The person who tells the story may also be a character in the fictional world of the story, relating

the story after the event. In this case the critics call the narrator a FIRST-PERSON NARRATOR or

I-NARRATOR because when the narrator refers to himself or herself in the story the first person

pronoun I is used. First-person narrators are often said to be “limited” because they don't know all the facts or “unreliable” because they trick the reader by withholding information

or telling

untruths. This often happens in murder and mystery stories.

concordance(共现索引):

sorting the data in some way, for example, alphabetically on words occurring in the immediate

context of the word.

corpus(语料库):

a collection of linguistic data, either compiled as written texts or as a transcription of recorded

speech. The main purpose of a corpus is to verify a hypothesis about language, for example, to

determine how the usage of a particular sound, word, or syntactic construction varies.

汉语言文学《语言学概论》复习要点

《语言学概论》复习要点 重点名词概念:语言学、普通语言学、专语语言学、共时语言学、历时语言学 一、语言学、语言学的对象和任务 二、语言学在科学体系中的地位 三、语言学的基本类别 根据研究的对象的不同,语言学分为共时语言学和历时语言学、专语语言学和普通语言学。 四、语言学流派 各个语言学流派的观点、代表人物有所了解即可,注意布拉格学派、哥本哈根学派以及美国结构语言学派(也称美国描写语言学)都属于结构主义学派,是这一学派的三个分支。关于语言学流派的具体内容阐述,不作考试要求。 第一章言语的社会功能 本章须明确两个大的要点:语言的社会功能,即交际工具和思维工具;语言是一种社会现象。 主要名词概念:语言、社会、社会现象 第一节语言是人类最重要的交际工具 一、语言是人类社会的交际工具 1.语言的交际功能:语言是人类区别于其它动物的一个重要标志。语言是联系社会成员的桥梁和纽带,是社会成员互相之间交际和交流思想的工具,也是协调社会成员行动一致的工具。 2.语言是一种社会现象:语言是一种社会现象,和人类社会有着十分紧密的联系,没有人类社会,就没有语言,人类社会以外的社会无所谓语言。所谓社会现象是指那些与人类共同体的产生、存在和发展等活动密切联系的现象。不同的民族有不同的语言,不同的地域有不同的语言,同时社会的变化也给语言以极大的影响,而离开了人类社会,就无所谓语言可言了。总之,语言就是一种社会现象,同社会的关系非常密切,其产生、发展等都要受到社会的影响。 语言不是自然现象,一方面,语言同社会有着十分紧密的联系,社会的发展变化直接影响着语言的发展变化,也就是说,语言的发展变化是受制于社会的;另一方面,从语言的音义联系看语言不是自然现象,而是社会约定俗成的,没有必然的本质的联系,如果语言是自然现象,世界上的语言应该一样的,没有区别的,而实际上世界上的语言多种多样,而且许多语言中还有方言,这说明语言决不是自然现象。 3.语言是一种特殊的社会现象:语言不但是社会现象,而且是一种特殊的社会现象。语言作为社会现象的特殊性主要表现在,社会现象可分为经济基础和上层建筑两大类,任何一种社会现象,要么属于经济基础,要么属于上层建筑,而语言既不属于经济基础,也不属于上层建筑,这两者的变化都不会从本质上影响语言。所以,从本质上看,语言是人类共同的交际工具,不分阶级、阶层,一视同仁地为全社会的成员服务,没有阶级性,具有全民性特点。4.语言没有阶级性:可从这样几个方面思考,首先是看语言工具的服务对象,是为特定的阶级服务还是为大众服务。其次是结合语言自身的结构考察,观察语言在哪一方面体现了阶级性特征没有。再次是看语言产生的社会环境,语言产生于没有阶级的社会,社会上连阶级都没有,语言作为社会的产物更谈不上有阶级性了。 二、语言是人类最重要的交际工具 人类传递信息,进行交际和交流思想,除了使用语言外,还可以使用文字、旗语、红绿灯、电报代码、数学符号以及身势、表情等,在一定场合使用,可以弥补语言的一些不足,但是这些交际工具使用范围有限,有的仅用于特定的范围,最重要的是,这些交际工具,都离不开语言,都是在语言的基础上产生的,是辅助语言进行交际的,没有语言,这些手段的存在没有任何意义。 一般掌握:语言和说话的关系 第二节语言是思维的工具 一、语言和思维的关系 语言不但是人类的交际工具,同时也是人类思维的工具,是认识成果的贮存所。思维过程离不开语言,需要借助语言来进行比较、分析、综合等一系列活动,需要借助语言来形成思想,利用语言把它储存在头脑中,再借助语言把思想表达出来,传达给听话人,同时使听话人产生思想。而且人类思维的成果-概念,还可以通过词语固定下来。总之,思维活动的过程不可能离开语言而单独进行,思维离不开语言,必须借助语言材料才能进行。语言也离不开思维,二者是互相依存,共同发展的。 二、思维能力是全人类共同的,语言是各民族不同 思维能力没有民族性,全人类都有,但不同民族的思维方式是不同的,有差别的,这从不同民族的语言的差异方面可以看出来。不同的语言之间很少有意义、功能、色彩等都完全对应等同的词语。第二章语言是符号系统 本章要注意语言是符号、语言符号的任意性特点、语言的层级体系三大要点。 主要名词概念:符号、语言符号、任意性、线条性、二层性、组合关系、聚合关系 第一节语言符号的性质和特点 一、什么是符号 1.符号的含义:符号就是由一定的形式构成的表示一定意义的记号或标记,包括形式和意义两个方面,其作用是指称现实现象。2.符号的构成:符号是由形式和意义两个部分构成的结合体。形式就是符号外在的形状、结构,它是以某种物质的方式存在的,或者是声音,或者是线条,或者是色彩,等等。意义就是符号所代表的具体内容,任何一个符号,都有一定的意义,形式和意义在一定的符号系统中是密不可分的统一体,不能割裂二者之间的关系。形式和意义互相依存,谁也离不开谁。 二、语言符号及其特点 1.语言符号:从本质上看,语言也是一种符号,也有形式和意义两个方面,具有符号的一切特点。 语言符号又不同于一般符号。可从以下几个方面认识理解,首先,语言符号是声音和意义的结合体,是说的和听的;其次,一般符号的构成比较简单,而语言符号却是非常复杂的,可分不同的层级;再次,一般符号由于构造简单,因而只能表达有限的内容,而且这种内容是简单而固定的,语言符号则可以表达丰富多彩的意义;最后,语言符号具有以少驭多的生成机制,具有生成新的结构的能力,一般符号表达的意义是固定的,因而不能生成新的意义。2.语言符号的特点:语言符号具有任意性和线条性的特点。(1)所谓任意性,是指语言的声音形式和意义内容之间的联系是任意的,由社会约定俗成的,没有必然的、本质的联系。什么样的
