A. language functions B. sentence structures

C. textual organization D.word formation

答案:B。

解析:Syntax is about principles of forming and understanding correct

English sentences,是关于形成和理解正确英语句子的原则。也就是句子结构。故选择B。

39.(考察点:design features of language) Which of ale following is NOT

a distinctive feature of human language?

A. Arbitrariness B. Productivity

C. Cultural transmission D. Finiteness

答案:D。

解析:题问下面四个选项中,哪一个不是人类语言的主要特征?除Finiteness(有限性)外,选项中的其它的三项Arbitrariness(任意性),

Productivity(能产性)和Cultural transmission(文化传递性)在语言学概述部分都提到了。故选择D。

A. John Searle B. John Austin

C. Noam Chomsky D. M.A,K. Halliday

答案:B。

解析:问言语行为是哪位语言学家首先提出来的?根据语言学著作的介绍,John Austin于l969年首先提出了“言语行为”理论,其他人如John Searle (1969年提出)等,不管是提出或是进一步阐述该理论,都是在John Austin之后,对比不应有什么怀疑。故选择B。

38.(考察点:main branches of linguistics) What essentially distinguish-

es semantics and pragmatics is the notion of

A. Reference B. Meaning C. Antonymy D. Context

答案:D。

解析:A. Reference即所指,指一种语言形式在现实世界中指代的事物,主要研究语言元素和非语言经验世界之间的关系;C. Antonymy即反义词。再观题意Semantics examines how meaning is encoded in a

language,而pragmatics is the study of meaning in context。在没语境的情况下研究语言的意义是语义学的主要任务。在有语境的情况下研究语言的意思是语用学的主要课题。故选择D。

39. (考察点:meaning)The words “kid, child, offspring” are examples

of

A. dialectal synonyms B. stylistic synonyms

C. emotive synonym D. collocational synonyms

答案:B。

解析:A. dialectal synonyms指地域同义词:意义相同,但用在不同的方言中。E.g. (BE) autumn VS (AE) fall;B. stylistic synonyms指风格同义词:意义相同,但风格不同,有的正式,有的随意,有的中性。(e.g. 口头语、常用语和书面语);C. emotive synonym指感情色彩不同的同义词,词义相近但又有不同的感情色彩,如褒义、贬义或中性;

D. collocational synonyms搭配同义词,由于词语的搭配而形成的同义词。E.g. “be charge with” 和“ be accused of”。题目中Kid指小孩,child指孩子,offspring指子孙,其实都是同样的,只是正式程度不同。故选择B。

40. (考察点:人物)The distinction between parole and langue was

made by

A. Halliday B. Chomsky C. Bloomfield D. Saussure

答案:D。

解析:A. Holliday韩礼德是系统功能语法的代表人物;

B. Chomsky乔姆斯基区分的是competence 和 performance语言能力指理想语言 使用者关于语言规则的知识储备;语言运用指真实的语言使用者在实际场景中的语言使用;

C. Bloomfield 布龙菲尔德是结构主义的代表人物,认为语言学是心理学的分支,重视行为主义;

D. Saussure索绪尔把“语言”和“言语”区分开来语言指语言系统的整体,这个整体相对是比较稳定的;言语则指代某个个体在实际语言使用环节中说出的具体话语。

再观题意parole and langue指言语和语言,其区分者是Saussure。故选择D。 2007年

A. Phonology B. Morphology

C. Semantics D. Sociolinguistics

syllables,研究语音和音节的构成、分布和排列规则;

B. Morphology(形态学)is concerned with the internal organization of

words,涉及词的内在结构;

C. Semantics(语义学)is about principles of forming and

understanding correct English sentences,研究语言中语义是如何编码的;

D. Sociolinguistics(社会语言学)is the study of the

characteristics of languagevarieties,the characteristics of their

functions,and the characteristics of their speakers, 研究各种语言变体的特征、它们的功能特征和语言使用者特征。

那么研究词的内部结构和构词规则的是形态学。故选择B。
