Lexicology is a branch of linguistics, inquiring into the origins and meanings of words.

Morphology : the study of morpheme and their different forms.

Semantics:the study of word meaning.

Etymology: the study of the origin of words, and of their history and changes in

their meaning.

Stylistics : the study of the variation in language which is dependent on the situation in which the language is used and also on the effect the writer or speaker wishes to create on the reader or hearer

Lexicography : the compiling of dictionaries.

Synchronic study : the study of a word or words at one particular point in time.

Diachronic study: a n approach to lexicology which studies how a word (or words)

changes over a period of time.

word: a word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and

meaning and syntactic function.

vocabulary:Vocabulary refers to the total number of the words in a language, but it can stand for all the words used in a particular historical period.Vocabulary also refers to all the words of a given dialect, given book, a given discipline and the words possessed by an individual person.

Terminology术语consists of technical terms used in particular disciplines and

academic areas as in medicine:

Jargon行话refers to the specialized vocabularies by which members of particular arts, sciences, trades and professions communicate among themselves such as in

business.

slang俚语belongs to the sub-standard language, a category that seems to stand between the standard general words including informal ones available to everyone

and in-group words

Argot黑话generally refers to the jargon of criminals. Its use is confined to the sub-cultural groups, and outsiders can hardly understand it,

Archaism s古词语are words or forms that were once in common use but are now

restricted only to specialized or limited use.

Neologisms新词语are newly-created words or expressions, or words that have taken

on new meanings.

denizen s同化词are words borrowed early in the past and now are well assimilated

into the English language.

Alien非同化词are borrowed words which have retained their original pronunciation

and spelling.

Translation-loans. 借译词Translation-loans are words and expressions formed from the existing material in the English language but modelled on the patterns taken from

another language.

Semantic-loan s借义词Words of this category are not borrowed with reference to the

form. But their meanings are borrowed.

Content word: the basic word stock is the foundation of the vocabulary ,which accumulated over centuries and forms the common core of the language. It is the most

important part of vocabulary.

Creation : the formation of new words by using the existing materials, namely roots, affix es and other elements. Semantic change means an old form which takes on a

new meaning to meet the new need.

Morpheme: the smallest meaningful unit in a language

Allomorph: any of the different forms of a morpheme

Free morpheme: a linguistic form which can be used on its own as a word

Bound morpheme: a form (morpheme) which can not he used alone hut must be used with another morpheme. Bound morphemes include hound roots and affixes

Affixes: forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or function

Prefixation(suffixation): is the formation of new words by adding prefixes(suffixes) to stem

Inflectional affixes: affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships

Derivational affixes: affixes added to other morphemes to create new words

Root: a morpheme which is the basic part of a word that can not be further analyzed without total loss of identity

Stem: a form to which affixes of any kind can be added

Bound root: a root that can not stand alone as a word

Monomorphemic words: words that have nothing more than a free morpheme

Affixation: Derivation (also known as affixation) is the process of formation of words by adding word-forming or derivational affixes to stems. Affixaton consisits of prefixation and suffixation. Prefixation is the formation of new words by adding prefixes to stems; suffixation is the formation of new words by adding suffixes to

stems.

Compounding: Compounding or composition is the formation of new words by joining two or more stems. Words formed in this way tire called compounds.

Conversion:Conversion is the formation of new words by converting words of one class to another class. Functional shift = conversion Zero-derivation .Adjective to noun :

(1) full conversion (2) partial conversion

Acronymy Acronymy is the process of forming new words by joining the initial letters of neames of social and political organizations or special noun phrases and technical terms Acronymy包含两类:1) initialisms (不发音)e.g. BBC, VOA, TB2)

acronyms (形成新的发音)e.g. CORE, TEFL

Blending is the formation of new words by combining parts of two words or a won!

plus a part of another word. Words formed by blending are called blends or

pormanteau.

Clipping is a way of making new words which involves the shortening a longer word by cutting a part off the original and using what remains instead.

Back-formation is a process of forming new words considered to the opposite process of suffixation by the removal of an affix from existing word.

Words from proper names of place, people, trade, book, etc.

Concept,is beyond language, is the result of human cognition, reflecting the objective

world in the human mind

Sense : denotes the relationships inside the language.

definite concept. Compare the following;词义的缩小Narrowing is a process by which a word of wider meaning acquires a specialized sense;词义的升华Elevation is a process by which a word moves from a derogatory or neutral sense to a neutral and/or appreciative sense;词义的降格Degradation is a process by which a word of reputation slides into a pejorative use,;词义的转移Transfer is a process by which a word denoting one thing changes to refer to a different but related thing. Paper serves as an example. This word formerly denoted an African plant papyrus, which was once used to make paper. In modern times, paper is made from rags, wood, straw and the like, but the product has retained the same name. There is associated transfer.

There are other kinds of transfer, such as, concrete to abstract, abstract to

concrete and transfer of sensation.

语境的种类:非语言语境。语言语境:词汇语境和语法语境。There are two types of contexts: linguistic context and extra-linguistic (or non-linguistic context). Extra-linguistic context refers to those situations and features which are not directly a part of the language in use but which either contribute in conveying a message or have an influence on language use. Linguistic or Intra-linguistic context is further subdivided into lexical context and grammatical context. By lexical context we mean the words that occur together with the word in question. By grammatical context we mean that the meanings of a word may be influenced by

the structure in which it occurs.

语境的作用:Three major functions of context: elimination of ambiguity, indication of referents, provision of clues for inferring word-meaning. Context an be summed up as follows:1) definition 2) explanation 3) example 4) synonymy 5) Antonymy

6)hyponymy 7) relevant details 8) word structure

英语习语的特点The characteristics of idioms include semantic unity and structural

stability.

英语习语的分类According to the criterion of their grammatical functions, we classify them into idioms nominal in nature, idioms adjectival in nature, idioms verbal in nature, idioms adverbial in nature, and sentence idioms. The stylistic features are characterized with colloquialisms, slang, and literary expressions.

英语习语的使用The use of idioms involves their stylistic features, rhetorical features , and variations of idioms.

英语习语的修辞色彩The rhetorical features of idioms are represented with phonetic manipulation ( alliteration头韵法and rhyme叠韵) , lexical manipulation

( reiteration复用, repetition重复and juxtaposition反义词叠用), figures of speech ( simile明喻, metaphor暗喻, metonymy转喻, synecdoche借代, personification拟人,

euphemism委婉)

英语习语的变异形式In the variations, addition, deletion, replacement, position-shifting and dismembering are involved in the changes in idioms

constituents .

Associative meaning : 1) associative meaning is the secondary meaning supplemented to the conceptual meaning. 2)It differs from the conceptual meaning in that it is open-ended and indeterminated. 3)It is liable to the influence of such factors as culture , experience, religion, geographical region, class background,education, etc. 4)Associative meaning comprises four types : connotative, stylistic, affective, and collocative.

Metonymy和Synecdoche ,修饰有何区别? Both metonymy and synecdoche involve substitution of names, yet they differ in that the former is a case of using the name of one thing for another closely associated with it and the latter is that of substituting part for the whole and vice versa.

词典的种类There are four types of dictionaries with their features mentioned in this parts: (1) monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, (2) linguistic and encyclopedic dictionaries, (3) unabridged, desk and pocket dictionaries, (4) specialized dictionaries. A monolingual dictionary is a dictionary which is written in one language. A bilingual dictionary is one in which two languages are involved. A linguistic dictionary is a dictionary which aims at defining words and explaining their usages in the language. An encyclopedic dictionary is one in which encyclopedic information is provided along with the general information as in a linguistic dictionary . An encyclopedia is a dictionary which only provide encyclopedic information concerning each headword. An unabridged dictionary is an unshortened dictionary with at least 200,000 headwords that can supply a great quantity of basic, information about a word. A desk dictionary is a medium-sized dictionary containing words ranging from 50,000 to 150,000. A pocket dictionary is a dictionary which has about 50,000 entries or fewer.

Introduction部分:

Lexicology这门课算哪一种学科的分支exicology is a branch of linguistics.

Lexicology和那些重要的学科建立了联系:1)Morphology 2) Semantics 3) Stylistics 4)

Etymology 5) Lexicography

研究lexicology的两大方法:1) Diachronic approach : 历时语言学2) Synchronic approach : 共时语言学e.g. wife纵观历时语言学的方法论,woman词义的变化算是词义

变化的哪一种模式?

Woman的词义的变化算Narrowing or specialization

第一章

What is word ?词具有哪些特点?词的特点也就是对词的名词解释。1) A word is a minimal free form of a language;2) A sound unity or a given sound ;3) a unit of meaning;4) a form that can function alone in a sentence.以上词的四个特点也就是词的名词解释

词的分类(classification of a word)词根据发音可以分为哪两种词?或者说词根据拼

写可以分为哪两类词?

1) simple words 2) complex words单音节词例子:e.g. Man and fine are simple多音节词例子:e.g. Management, misfortune, blackmail,management可以次划分为manage 和–ment misfortune可以次划分为mis- 和fortune。blackmail次划分为black和mail

What is the relationship between sound and meaning?1)There is ‘no logical relationship between the sound and actual thing.e.g. dog. cat2)The relationship between them is conventional.3) In different languages the same concept can be

represented bydifferent sounds.

What is relationship between sound and form?1)The written form of a natural language

is the written record of the oral form. Naturally the written form should agree with the oralform, such as English language.2)This is fairly true of English in its earliest stage i.e. Old English3)With the development of the language, more and more differences occur between the two.

What are the great changes that causes illogical relationship or irregularity between sound and form?1) The internal reason for this is that the English alphabet was adopted from the Romans, which does not have a separate letter tore present each sound in the language so that some letters must do double duty or work together in combination.2) Another reason is that the pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years, and in some cases the two have drawn farapart.3) A third reason is that some of the differences were created by the early scribes.4) Finally comes the borrowing, which is an important channel of enriching the English

vocabulary.

要记住以上四句话中的关键词:1) influenced by Romans2) Pronunciation changed3)

early scribes4) borrowing

你能不能举出外来语对英语发音,拼写造成不一致的例子有哪些?e.g. stimulus (L) ,fiesta (Sp) ,eureka (Gr), kimono (Jap)外来语对英语造成的最大的影响就是

‘sound and form ’不一致。

What is vocabulary?Vocabulary refers to the total number of the words in a language, but it can stand for all the words used in a particular historical period.Vocabulary also refers to all the words of a given dialect, given book, a given discipline and the words possessed by an individual person.

Classification of Words (本课的一个重点, 年年考试都考)

What is the classification of words? How to classify words in linguistics? Three criteria :1) By use of frequency 2) By notion 3) By origin

By use of frequency可划分为:1) The basic word stock 2) Nonbasic word vocabulary

By notion概念可划分为:1) Content word2) Functional word 实词虚词 Content words are also known as notional words . (Content words的别称)Functional words are also known as empty words, or form words. (Functional words的别称)Functional words possesses a characteristic of basic word stock, i.e. stability According to Stuart

Robertson ,et al (1957),* (年年考试必考) the nine functional words , namely ,and , be , have , it , of , the , to , will ,you

What are the characteristics of basic word stock?1) All national character2) Stability3) Productivity4) Polysemy5) Collocability要把握住‘All national character’词,就是和我们日常生活息息相关的,最普通词

稳定性是基本词的一个很大特点,请你举例说明?e.g. man, woman , fire, water …e.g. machine, video, telephone …e.g. bow, chariot , knight Stability is relative, not

absolute.

根据词的use frequency划分出的基本词之外,还有一类词叫作None basic vocabulary, 非基本词有几大特点?或者是几大分类?1) Terminology e.g. sonata, algebra2) Jargon e.g. Bottom line ( Jargon ) 3) Slang e.g. smoky, bear ( Slang ) 4) Argot e.g. persuader5) Dialectal words e.g. station ( AusE = ranch ) bluid ( ScotE= blood)6) Archaisms e.g. wilt (will)7) Neologisms e.g. email ( Neologisms )beaver是girl 的slang表达方式,但是二者之间存在着Stylistic difference

Which constitutes the larger number among English vocabulary, content words or functional words ? Answer : Content words What is native words? Answer : (1) By origin, English words can be classified into native words and borrowed words.(2) Native words are words brought to Britain in the fifth century by the German tribes: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, thus know asAnglo-Saxon words. (3) Words of Anglo-Saxon origin are small in number ,amounting to roughly 50,000 to 60,000, but they form the mainstream of the basic word stock and stand at the core of the

language

什么叫borrowed words?Answer: (1) words taken over from foreign languages are know as borrowed words or loan words or borrowings in simple terms.(2) It is estimated that English borrowings constitute 80 percent of the modern English vocabulary (3) The English language has vast debts .In any dictionary some 80% of the entries are

borrowed.

什么叫Denizens?Denizens are words borrowed early in the past and now are well assimilated into the English language. In other words they have come to conform to the English way of pronunciation and spelling, such as port from portus (L).‘Denizens’的例子都要记:Port from portus (L), cup from cuppa (L),shift from

skipta (ON), shirt from skyrta (ON), change from changier (F), pork from porc (F).

什么叫Translation-loans ?Translation-loans are words and expressions formed form the existingmaterial in the English language but modeled on the patterns taken from another language, such as ‘ long time no see from haojiumeijian (Ch)

什么叫Semantic-loans ?words of this category are not borrowed with reference to the form ,But their meaning are borrowed , in other words, English has borrowed a new meaning for an existing word in the language ,such as the word dream ,which originally meant ’joy’ and ‘music ’, and its modern meaning was borrowed later

from the Norse.

第二章:The development of the English vocabulary

The Indo-European Language Family It is assumed that the world has approximately 3,000(some put it5,000)languages ,which can be grouped into roughly 300 language families on the basis of similarities in their basic word stock and grammar .

(重点:语系划分的标准)What is the criteria to divide language families ?The answer :

1. the basis of similarities in their basic word stock

2. grammar(重点)The Balto-Slavic comprises such modern languages as(选择题内容:)Prussian, Lithuanian , Polish ,Czech, Bulgarian ,Slovenian and Russian.

‘Indo-European’ 两大分支:1.Eastern set 2.Western set Eastern set: Balto-Slavic, Indo-Iranian, Armenian and Albanian Western set : Celtic, Italic , Hellenic, Germanic. In the western Set, Greek is the modern language derived from Hellenic.

Celtic :Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Breton The five Romance languages, namely ,Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian , Roumanian all belong to the Italic.

The Germanic family consists of the four Northern European Languages: Norwegian ,Icelandic, Danish and Swedish ,which are generally known as Scandinavian languages. Then there is German, Dutch ,Flemish and English.With Vikings’ invasion, many Scandinavian words came into the English language. It is estimated that at least 900 words of Scandinavian origin have survived in modern English. Old English has a vocabulary of about 50,000 to 60,000 words. It was a highly inflected language just like modern German.

重点句: Modern English began with the establishment of printing in England

古英语最大的模糊性的概念来自于 (scripts )古英语正因为出现印刷术才打破了 ( early scripts)Sound and form真正达到统一是在什么时期?.Sound and form reached their concord in ( Modern English period )如果从词汇变化的角度而言,Modern English又

可以细划分为early period ,modern period.

*现代英语早期阶段属于哪一种文化现象的发展时期(重要的选择或填空内容)Early

modern English appeared in the Renaissance

Modern English period有什么样的外来语的进入?The Latin words swarmed into English in early modern English period现代英语时期,英语词汇大量丰富还有另外一个原因是(colonization)The richness of Modern English in vocabulary also arises from(Colonization )The English language has evolved from a synthetic language to the present analytic language ( 重要选择或填空内容)Growth of Present-day English

Vocabulary

Three main sources of new words :1)The rapid development of modern science and technology 2)Social, economic and political changes;3)The influence of other

cultures and language

2.4 Modes of Vocabulary Development1)creation 2) semantic change 3)

borrowing2)Semantic change (还包括外来词的Semantic loans )Elevation, degradation, extension, narrowing, transfer外来词可以被称作borrowed words , 因此又可以被称作 .重点句:borrowed words are also known as loaned words .恢复古英语的用词是美国英语的一大特色Reviving archaic or obsolete words also contributes to the growth of English vocabulary though quite insignificant. This is especially

trueof American English.

第三章复习

The smallest unit in the English language refers to (morphemes)

The minimal free form in the English language refers to (word)

In the plural form changing, some of the words will take internal vowel change , this internal vowel change is called (allomorphs)

Deer复数没有变,还是deer, sheep复数没有变,还是sheep, 因此,这种变化被称作(zero

derivation)

名词解释:Morphemes : The minimal meaningful units in a language are known as morphemes. In other words, the morphemes isthe smallest functioning unit in

composition of words

Allomorphs : The alternative morphs are known as allomorphs, e.g.the morpheme of plurality {-s} has a number of allomorphs in different sound context, e.g. in cats in bags, matches It can be realized by the change of an internal vowel as in

foot-feet, man-men, goose-geese or by zero morphs as in deer-deer, fish-fish 大道若直,上善若水!为英语本科的全部通过而努力!!!

简答题: what are the types of morphemes ? ( 答简答题时,名词解释)答案:Free morphemes and bound morphemes 。

Free morphemes : 1) Free morphemes are independent of other morphemes and are considered to be free.2) These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences. 3) They are identical with root words, as each of them consists of a single free root words ,as each of them consists of a single free root 4) free morphemes are

free roots.

bound morphemes: 1) Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound.. 2) They are bound to other morphemes to form words.

3) Bound morphemes include two types: bound root and affix affix 分为两类: inflectional and derivational affixes. Inflectional affixes : Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional, thus known as inflectional morphemes. Derivational affixes: 1)derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create now words.2) Derivational affixes can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes. root : 1) a root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity. 2) the root, whether free or bound, generally carries the main component of meaning in a word 3) a ’root is that part of a wordform that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed’ stem :1) a stem may consist of a single root morpheme as in iron or of two root morphemes as in a compound like handcuff. 2) It can be a root morpheme plus one or more affixational morphemes as inmouthful, underestimate. 3) Therefore, a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of

any kind can be added.

问题:Stem和root有一个最大的区别在哪里? ( 连着两年没有考过)

答案: a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any

kind can be added.

问题:请加以区别下面两个词的特征: nation , dict请加以理论的分析?Both nation and dict belong to roots, nation is free root, which can function alone in a sentence, Nation as a free root, has complete meaning, when both prefixes and suffixes attached to it are removed, nation as a free root, still remains Dict is a bound root, which can not function alone grammatically , dict carries the fundamental meaning of words, dict has to combine with the other morphemes to create new words , for example , dictionary ,

contradiction .

问题:分析下面一句话: He is much more cleverer than any other one in the village, too heads are better than one.请从构词角度分析以上的例子,c leverer , better cleverer (-er : inflectional affixes ) better ( good , well的特殊变化) It is allomorph of good

Chapter 1 1.1 What Is a Word 词的概念:A word can be defined as a meaningful group of letters. (一个词可以被定义为一组有意义的字母) 词包含以下几点: ① a minimal free form of a language.一门语言中最小的形式 ② a sound unity.一个声音统一体 ③ a unit of meaning.一个意义单位 ④ a form that can function alone in a sentence.能在句子中起独立作用的一个形式 A word is a free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic function.词是一门语言中具有一定的声音,意义和句法功能的最小形式 Words can be simple and complex.词可以是简单的也可以是复杂的 1.2 Sound and Meaning 声音与意义之间的关系:This symbolic connection is almost always arbitrary,and there is no logical relationship between the sound and the actual thing and idea itself .The relationship between them is conventional. 这种象征性的联系几乎总是任意的,声音与实际的事物和观念本身没有逻辑关系。他们之间的关系是约定俗成的。 1.3 Sound and Form 读音与拼写不一致的原因:①The English alphabet was adopted from the Romans,which does not have a separate letter to represent each sound in the language. ②The pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years. ③Some of the differences were created by the early scribes. ①英语字母表是从罗马人那里采用的,罗马人没有一个单独的字母来代表语言中的每个 声音。 ②这些年来,发音的变化比拼写的变化更快。 ③有些差异是由早期的抄写员造成的。
