第一章 绪论Because there are words in every language that imitate natural sounds, such as crash, bang in English .besides, some compound words are also not entirely arbitrary .these words cannot be made freely .Because the details of any language are not genetically transmitted ,but instead have to be taught and learned anew . it is passed on from one generation to another through teachingand learning rather than by instinct . in contrast ,animals are born with the capacity to produce the set of calls peculiar to their species, so animals call system are genetically transmitted. The duality nature of language means that language is system ,which consists off two sets of structures ,or two levels ,one of sounds and the other of meanings . at the lower or thebasic level ,there is the structure of sounds , which are meaningless. At the higherlevel ,the units can be arranged and rearranged into an infinite number of sentences .Language is productive or creative in that it makes possible the construction and interpretationof new signal by its users. The users can send message which no one else has ever sent before. Displacement means that language can be used to refer to things which are present or not present ,real or imagined matters in the past, present, or future or in far-awayplaces . in other words language can be used to refer context removed from the immediate situation of the speakers. Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar . traditional grammar is prescriptive, it is based on high written language . it sets models for language users to follow . but modern linguistics is descriptive ,its investigation are based on authentic ,and mainly spoken language data. It is supposed to be scientific andobjective and the task of linguistics is supposed to describe the language people actually use, whether it is correct or not. Language exists in time and changes trough time. The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study, the description of a language as it changes though time is a diachronic study. A synchronic study of language describe a language as it is at some particular point in time ,while a diachronic study language is a historical stud ; it studies the historical development of language over a period.speech and writing are the two major media of communication . modern linguistics regards the spoken form of language as primary , but not the written form ,because thespoken form is prior to the written form and most writing systems are derived from spoken form of language. Langue and parole are French words, langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech communication ,and parole refers to the realization of langue in actural use. Langue is the set ofconventions and rules which language users all have to follow while parole is the concrete use of the conversation and the application of the rules. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal user ’s knowledge of the rules of his language,and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguisticscommunication. 第二章 音系学1. speech and writing are the two major media of communication. Modern linguistics regards the spoken form of language as primary ,but not the written form ,because the spoken for id prior to the written form and most writing systems are derived from the spoken form of language.the basic difference between a vowel and a consonant is that the pronunciation of a vowel,the air stream from the lung meets no obstruction of any kind in the throat, the nose, or the mouth, while in the pronunciation of a consonant , the air stream from the lungs is obstructed in one way or another.Which allophone is to be used is determined by the phonetic context in which it occurs. But the choice of an allophone is not random or haphazard in most cases; it is rule-governed . one of the tasks of the phonologist is to find out these rules.The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called suprasegmental phonemes; these are the phonological properties of such units as the syllable , the word ,and the sentence. The main suprasegmental featuresinclude stress, tone, and intonation.第三章 形态学Morphology is divided into sub-branches : inflectional morphology and lexical or derivational morphology. Free morphemes are themorphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves or in combination with other morphemes .bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be combinedwith other morphemes, either free or bound ,to form a word.derivational affixes are added to an exciting form to create a word . prefixes occur at the beginning of a word and. Prefixes modify the meaning of he stem .suffixes are added to the end of the stems ;they modifythe meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech.Syntactically, the part of speech of the compound is generally determined by the part of speech o the second element, e.g. icy-cold adj. head —strong adv. Greenhouse n. but there are many exception ,especially with hose compounds ending with a verb or an adverb or a preposition . for example,follow up , crackdown ,kickoff are allnouns instead of adverbs.and toothpick, snowfall,and facelift arenoun instead of verbs.semantically, the meaning of a compound is often idiomatic, not always being the sum total of the meaning of its components. For example ,a greenhouse is not a house that is green .in order to find out the meaning of a compound, one sometimes hasto consult the dictionary instead of doing some guess work.第四章 句法学 As a major component of grammar, syntax consists of a set o abstract rules that allow words to be combined with other words to form grammatical sentences. A sentences is considered grammatical when it is in agreement with thegrammatical knowledge in the mind of native speakers. Universally found in the grammars of all human language ,syntactic rules comprise the system of internalized linguistic knowledge of a language speaker known as linguistic competence.Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language. The word language in this definition implies that linguistics studies not any particular language ,but investigate or examine. And the word scientific refers to the way in which language is studied.Chomsky thinks that linguistics should study the ideal speaker ’s competence, but not his performance. For any natural language ,a set of syntactic rules are capable of yielding an endless number of sentences in that language .that is ,the syntactic rules of any language are finite in number, and yet there is no limit to the number of sentences native speakers of that language are able to produce and comprehend.Traditionally, there are three major types of sentences. They are simple sentence,coordinate sentence,and complex sentences.When a sentence is uttered or written down ,the words of the sentences are produced one after another in a sequence. Meanwhile,they are heard or read as arranged one after another in a sequence.therfore, the structure of a sentence is linear.major lexical categories are open categories in the sense that new words are constantly added. Minor lexical categories are closed categories becausethe number of lexical items in this categories is fixed and no new members are allowed for.The combinational pattern in a linear formula may be called a phrase structural rule. Syntactic movement is governed by transformational rules. The operation of the transformational rules may chang the syntactic representation of a sentence.parameters are syntactic options of UG that allow general principles to operate in one way or another and contribute to significant linguistics variation between and among natural language. Another parameter, the one that involves word order, concerns the directionality of case assignment ,i.e the directionality parameter. This parameter offers a neat and consist account forthe typological difference in the word order within the VP category between English and Japanese第五章 语义学Contextualism is based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. Two kinds of contest are recognized :the situational context and the Linguistic context.Obviously, linguistic forms with the same sense may have different references in different situation. For example, in the following exchange, the two speakers are surely talking about two different references, i.e. two different gogs.But because of their differentorigin ,there are often subtle differences between thesesynonyms .synonyms that are mutually substitutable under all circumstances are called complete synonyms . however, complete synonyms are rare.Dialectal synonyms which are used in different regional dialects .stylistic synonyms which differ in style. Synonyms hat siffer in their emotive or evaluation meaning collocational synonymssemantically different synonyms.A polysemic word i.e. a word with several meanings, is the result of the evolution of the primary meaning o the word ,the various meaning of the word are related to some degree ,as is discussed in the previous section.There is one advantage of componential analysis . by specifying the semantic features of certain words I will be possible to show how these words are related in meaning.there are three kinds. they are gradable antonyms,complementary antonyms and relational opposites. 第六章语用学Without this shared knowledge, linguistics communication would be impossible, and without considering this knowledge , linguistics communication cannot satisfactorily accounted for in apragmatic sense.If we regard a sentence as what people actually utter in the course of communication , it becomes an utterance ,and it should be considered in the situation in which it is actually uttered.Therefore ,while themeaning of a sentence is abstract ,and decontextualized, the meaning of an utterance is concrete ,and context-dependent. the act theory is the act of uttering words, phrases ,clauses. It is the ac of conveying literal meaning by meaning of syntax, lexicon and phonology.第七章 历史语言学Researches in historical linguistics shed light on prehistoric development in the evolution of language and the connections of earlier and later variants ofthe same language ,andprovide valuable insights into the kinship patterns of difference languages.it is generally accepted that the history of the English language is divided into the period of old English ,middle English and modern English.3.The most vigorous and no-going change in the historical development of a language is the change in its vocabulary.They are the Indo-European Family, The Sino-Tibetan Family, the Austronesian Family ,and the Afroasiatic Family.Grimm ’s major contribution to historical is his explanation of the relationships among cognates in terms of a sound shift, the systematic modification of a series of phonemes.Language do not change without reasons . a linguistics change is caused either by the inherent nature of language , or by external contacts of speakers of one language with the speakers of the other language.第八章 社会语言学Sociolinguistics is the study of language in social contexts. Sociolinguistics are also concern with the influence of extralinguistic factors on language use, such as age, gender, profession, and social statue.Sociolinguistics is the study of language in social contexts . in view of language as a primary means of communication among individual speakers of a society , sociolinguists are concerned with he social significance of language variation and languageuse indifferent speech communities including regional ,ethnic and social groups . sociolinguists are also concerned with the influence of extralinguistic factors on language use, such as age, gender,profession ,and social statue.The important characteristic of a speech community is that the members of the group must ,in some reasonable way, interact linguistically with other members of the community .they may share closely related language varieties, as wellas attitudes towards linguistic norms.they are regional dialects ,sociolects or social dialects ,and registers.第九章 心理语言学psycholinguistics is the study of language in relation to the mind. As the term suggests, psycholinguistics is viewed as the intersection of psychology and linguistics, drawing equally upon the language we acquire, produce and comprehend.By mean of dichotic listening tests, we can analyze the characteristic of incoming stimuli processed by the individual hemispheres.3. I has been proposed that the brain activity involved in hearing , understanding andthen saying a word would follow a definite pattern. 4.A safe conclusion from Genie ’s case for the moment is that the labguage faculty of an average human degenerates after the critical period and consequently ,most linguistic skills cannot develop.The most provocative position to date on the relationship between language and thought has been what is known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.第十章 语言习得the study of language acquisition enables linguistics ,psychologists and applied linguists to better understand the nature of human language and the developmental processes oflanguage acquisition.The biological, ornativist, view of language acquisition means that human are equipped with the neural prerequisites for language and language use. 3.In principle ,no human brain can store all the words and expressions of a language . what happens is that when processing the language the hear ,children construct the grammar and make sense of the expression according to the grammar . when producing utterances, they follow the internalizedgrammatical rules.Starting from the prelinguistic cooing and babbling stage ,children move through the one-word ,two-word and multiword stage ,gradually acquiringphonology ,morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, and discourse skills of the adult language system as they grow.Although SLA is not entirely different from FLA.some problems experienced in L2development by teenage or adult learners simply donot exist in children ’s L1. According toKrashen ,acquisition refersto the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicativesituation .learning ,however,is defined as a conscous process of accumulating knowledge of a second language usually obtained in school settings.It has been claimed that the optimum age for SLA is early teenage.。

( 1%×10=10% )11. A is one of the defining properties of human language, which means there is in general no natural relation between meanings and sounds.12. Among the three branches of phonetics, the study of the physical properties of the streams of sounds produced in speech is known as a phonetics.13. In using the morphological rules, we must guard against o in that different words may require different affixes to create the same meaning change.14. Universal Grammar is a set of principles and p of grammar which, according to Chomsky, is inherited genetically by all human beings.15. The synonyms such as economical, thrifty,and stingy are different in their e meaning.16. Most of the violations of the four maximsunder the Cooperative Principle give rise to conversational i .17. When there is a need to reduce ambiguity and increase communicative clarity or expressiveness, then rule eoccurs.18. A pidgin is a m language developed as a medium of trade, or through other extended but limited contact, between groups of speakers who have no other language in common.19.

Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so. ( 2% × 10=20% ) 21. ( ) “There’s a motorcycle coming" is seen as, out of context, a statement that a motorcycle is coming. But in a particular context, it might be a warning to a pedestrian not to step onto a road. When the study of meaning is considered in the context of use, it becomes a branch of linguistics called pragmatics.22.( )To distinguish between phonemes and phones,linguists use slashes//for phonetic segments and square brackets [ ] for phonemicsegments.23.( )Prefixes modify the meaning of the stem and also change the part of speech of the original word.24. ( )In addition to sentences and clauses,a syntactic category usually refers to a 1exical category or a phrasal category that performs a particular grammatical function.25.( )The word“flower”and “flour”,which are identical in sound,but different in spelling and meaning,are homophones.26.( )As the process of communication is essentially a process of conveying meaning in a certain context,pragmatics can be regarded as a kind of meaning study.27. ( )The meaning representation of words may change,becoming broader, narrower, or shifted.The word knight once meant “youth”,but was elevated in meaning in the age of chivalry;When Juliet tells Romeo,“I’m too fond.”She is not claiming she likes Romeo too much.She means “I am too foolish.”These are two examples of semantic broadening.28. ( ) In sociolinguistics,speech community refers to a group of speakers who constitute a community and share the same language or a particular variety of language.Speakers of English in general might be treated as such a community.29.( )Generally speaking,the lefthemisphere of the brain controls voluntary movements of, and responds to signals from,the right side of the body.30.( )The optimum age for SLA always accords with the maxim of’“the younger the better”.IV.

Directions: Fill in the blank in each of the following statements with one word, the first letter of which is already given as a clue. Notethat you are to fill in ONE word only, and you are not allowed to change the letter given. ( 1%×10=10% )11. D linguistics is the systematic description and elucidation of all linguistic changes through time. It studies the historical development of language over a period of time. For example, a study of the changes English has undergone since the time of Shakespeare would be a diachronic study.12. The phonemes of a language cannot be strung together in any random order to form words. The phonological system determines which phonemes can begin a word, end a word, and follow each other, in other words, there are s rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language.13. Morphology can be divided into two sub-branches: inflectional morphology and d morphology.14. Syntax consists of a set of abstract rules that allow words to be combined with other words to form grammatical sentences. It is universally found that syntactic rules comprise a speaker’s system of i linguistic knowledge known as linguistic competence.15. Pairs of words which exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the lexical items are called r opposites.16. Pragmatics and semantics are both linguistic studies of m , but what distinguishes them iswhether the context of use is considered.17. In Old English the word order is different from that of Modern English, and there are two negatives, “ne”(“not”) and “næfre”(“not”+“ever”=“never”). So d rule is one of the grammatical rules in Old English. 18. When a pidgin comes to be adopted by a community as its native tongue and is learned by children as their first language, it becomes c.19. The c age for the acquisition of the first language coincides with the period of brain lateralization.20. In second language learning, instrumental motivation o ccurs when the learner’s goal is f , and integrative motivation occurs when the learner’s goal is social.III. Directions: Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then give the correct version. ( 2%×10=20% )21.()Language is arbitrary by nature. And it is entirely arbitrary.22.()In producing stops or plosives, theobstruction created by the speechorgans is total or complete, with theobstruction audibly released and theair passing out again, such as Englishstops [p] and [t] in pit. In producing[p] and [t] the flow of air is blockedthrough the mouth only.23.()From the semantic point of view, themeaning of a compound is alwaysperceived from the meanings of itscomponents.24.()According to the “principles-and-parameters”theory, “principles”refer to highly abstract properties ofgrammar which are applied tolanguage in general and whichgenerate phrases and at the sametime restrain the power of Move a,while “parameters”allow generalprinciples to operate in certainrestricted ways, according to whichparticular grammars of naturallanguages vary.25.()In discussing the sense relationsbetween sentences, Y is aprerequisite of X. So if Y is true, X mustbe true.26.()According to Austin’s classification ofperlocutionary acts, speech acts fallinto five general categories, whichare representatives, directives,commissives, expressives anddecalrations.27.()For some speakers of American English,the word ask is pronounced [æks],but the word asking is pronounced[æskIŋ]. It is interesting that in OldEnglish the verb ask was aksian, withthe/k/preceding the/s/. This meansthat a historical metathesis ruleswitched these two consonants,producing ask in most dialects ofEnglish. Metathesis is thephonological process that reorderssegments, often by transposing twoadjoining sound segments.28.()Language varieties may be standardand nonstandard. Nonstandardvarieties are regarded assubstandard languages. Onlystandard varieties are regarded asthe only correct, logical and pure,and are effective in expressing ideasin communication.29.()Language is the only means of expressing thought.30.()The Error Analysis approach shows thatthere are striking similarities in theways in which different L2 learnersacquire a new language.Ⅳ.

( )A. phrasesB. clausesC. sentencesD. constituents5. The view that the meaning of a linguistic form is defined as the “situation in which thespeaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer” was proposed by ______.A. PlatoB.

Directions: Fill in the blank in each of the following statements with one word, the first letter of which is already given as a clue. Note that you are to fill in ONE word only, and you are not allowed to change the letter given. (1% ×10=10%)11. Double a refers to the property of languagewhich means language iscomposed of discrete units at two levels. At the lower level there is a structure of sounds,which are meaningless. At the higher level there are morphemes and words, which aremeaningful.12. In the production of v, the back of the tongueis brought into contact withthe soft palate, or velum, e.g., [k] in cat, [g] in get and [η] in sting.13. Morphological rules are the rules that govern which affix can be added to what type of s to form a new word.14. A sentence is a structurally independent unitthat usually comprises a number of words. A phrase structure tree diagram assigns a h structure to sentences.15. The words such as “pop” meaning a certainsound and “pop”meaning popular are in relationship of c homonyms.16. The c view in the discussion of semantics isoften considered as the initial effort to study meaning in a pragmatic sense.17. Extensive changes in rules of morphologyhave occurred in the history of English. English has lost most of its i endings, by which it is no longer possible to identify the functional roles of nouns.18. Diglossia describes any stable linguistic situation, in which there exists a strict fdifferentiation between a low-variety or L-variety and a high variety or H-variety.19. The localization of cognitive and perceptualfunctions in a particular hemisphere of the brain is called l.20. I is the language that a learner constructs at agiven stage of second language acquisition. III. Directions: Judge whether each, of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then give the correct version. (2% × 10=20%) 21.()According to Hall (1968), language is"the institution whereby humanscommunicate and interact with eachother by means of habitually usedoral-auditory arbitrary symbols." Mostlinguists today accept the view oflanguage as a set of "habitually usedsymbols."22.()Intonation refers to a distinctive patternof tones over stretch of speech inprinciple longer than a word, in otherwords, when pitch, stress and soundlength are tied to the sentence ratherthan the word in isolation, they arecollectively known as intonation. 23.()Suffixes are added to the end of stems,during the process of which theymodify the meaning of the originalword but usually do not change itspart of speech.24.()When we say a sentence has two levelsof structure, D-structure and S-structure, we do not mean that thesyntactic representations of thesetwo levels must be different. Sincesyntactic movement occurs to allsentences, so the representations ofthe twolevels look different.25.()“He has been to New York”presupposes “He has been to America”.26.()John Searle made a distinctionbetween what he called“constatives”and“performatives”.27.()Regularization of exceptional pluralforms of nouns constantly occurs. Byanalogy to foe/foes, and dog/dogs,English speakers started saying cowsas the plural of cow instead of theearlier plural kine. This analogicalchange does not occur when wordsare borrowed from foreign languages.28.()The common English address terms areFirst Name (e.g., John), Last Name(e.g., Smith), Title + Last Name (e.g.,Dr. Green), Title + Title (e.g., Mr.President), Title alone (e.g., Sir) andKin term (e.g., Dad).

Note that you are to fill inONE word only, and you are not allowed to changethe letter given.( 1%×10=10% )11. If a linguistic study aims to lay down rules for“correct” behavior, i.e., to tell people whatthey should say and what they should not, it is said to be p.12. Languages that use the pitch of individual syllables to contrast meanings are called tlanguages. Pitch variations can be used to distinguish meaning just like phonemes.13. I morphemes are those morphemes that showvarious grammaticalrelations or categories such as number, tense and case.14. A c sentence contains two or more clauses, one of which is incorporatedinto the other.15. In grammatical analysis, the sentence is takento be the basic unit, but in semantic analysisofa sentence, the basic unit is called p, which is the abstraction of themeaning of a sentence.16. The significance of Grice’s C Principle lies inthat it explains how it ispossible for the speaker to convey more than is literally said.17. The method of r of a parent language from acomparison of its daughterlanguages is called the comparative method.18. The avoidance of using t language mirrorssocial attitude, emotions andvalue judgements.19.

( ) The arbitrary nature of language isabsolute, i.e., there are no words in world languages that maintain a correspondence between form and sound.22. () Certain strings of phonemes arepermissible and others are not. If a word beginswith an/1/or/r/, the next segment must be a vowel. That is why / 1bIk/does notsound like an English word. It violates the restriction on the sequencing ofphonemes.23. () The different stresses used in acompound do not usually affect the meaning of thecompound.24. ( ) The recursive properties of phrasestructure rules enable these rules to generate an infinite number of sentences, and sentences with infinite length.25. ( ) Entailment is a relation of inclusion. If Xentails Y, the meaning of X is included in Y. 26. ( ) Performatives are sentences that donot state a fact or describe a state, and are not verifiable.27. ( ) Another kind of change that can bethought of as “economy of memory”results in a reduction of the number of exceptional or irregular morphemes. For example,children and adults are presently saying I dreamed last night(instead of dreamt).This kind of change has been called rule simplification.28. () One striking fact about theasymmetry between male and female terms in manylanguages is that when there are male/female pairs, the male form for the most partis unmarked and the female term is produced by adding a bound morpheme orbycompounding.29. ( ) Research findings have shown thatlanguage processing centers are situated ina single area of the left hemisphere.30. ( ) The grammatical errors that occur insecond language acquisition can allbe explained by mother tongue interference.Ⅳ.

The phonemes of a language cannot be strung together in any random order to form words. The phonological system determines which phonemes can begin a word, end a word, and follow each other, in other words, there are s rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language.13. Morphology can be divided into two sub-branches: inflectional morphology and d morphology.14. Syntax consists of a set of abstract rules that allow words to be combined with other words to form grammatical sentences. It is universally found that syntactic rules comprise a speaker’s system of i linguistic knowledge known as linguistic competence.15. Pairs of words which exhibit the reversal of a relationship between the lexical items are called r opposites.16. Pragmatics and semantics are both linguistic studies of m , but what distinguishes them is whether the context of use is considered.2 全国2010年10月自学考试现代语言学试题17. In Old English the word order is different from that of Modern English, and there are two negatives, “ne”(“not”) and “næfre”(“not”+“ever”=“never”). So d rule is one of the grammatical rules in Old English.18. When a pidgin comes to be adopted by a community as its native tongue and is learned by children as their first language, it becomes c .19. The c age for the acquisition of the first language coincides with the period of brain lateralization.20. In second language learning, instrumental motivation occ urs when the learner’s goal is f , and integrative motivation occurs when the learner’s goal is social.III. Directions: Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then give the correct version. (2%×10=20% )21.()Language is arbitrary by nature. And it is entirely arbitrary.22.()In producing stops or plosives, the obstruction created by the speech organs is total orcomplete, with the obstruction audibly released and the air passing out again, such asEnglish stops [p] and [t] in pit. In producing [p] and [t] the flow of air is blocked throughthe mouth only.23.()From the semantic point of view, the meaning of a compound is always perceived from themeanings of its components.24.()According to the “principles-and-parameters”theory, “principles”refer to highly abstractproperties of grammar which are applied to language in general and which generatephrases and at the same time restrain the power of Move a, while “parameters”allowgeneral principles to operate in certain restricted ways, according to which particulargrammars of natural languages vary.25.()In discussing the sense relations between sentences, Y is a prerequisite of X. So if Y is true,X must be true.26.()According to Austin’s classification of perlocutionary acts, speech acts fall into five generalcategories, which are representatives, directives, commissives, expressives anddecalrations.27.()For some speakers of American English, the word ask is pronounced [æks], but the wordasking is pronounced [æskIŋ]. It is interesting that in Old English the verb ask was aksian,3 全国2010年10月自学考试现代语言学试题with the/k/preceding the/s/. This means that a historical metathesis rule switched these twoconsonants, producing ask in most dialects of English. Metathesis is the phonologicalprocess that reorders segments, often by transposing two adjoining sound segments.28.()Language varieties may be standard and nonstandard. Nonstandard varieties are regarded assubstandard languages. Only standard varieties are regarded as the only correct, logical andpure, and are effective in expressing ideas in communication.29.()Language is the only means of expressing thought.30.()The Error Analysis approach shows that there are striking similarities in the ways in whichdifferent L2 learners acquire a new language.Ⅳ.
