1.2.2Thedesign/definingfeaturesofhumanlanguage(CharlesHockett):
P8-10
1)Arbitrariness任意性
2)Productivity/Creativity创造性
3)Duality二重性
4)Displacement移位性
5)Culturaltransmission文化传递性
1)Arbitrariness
◎----Nological(motivated有积极性的orintrinsic固有的)connectionbetweensoundsandmeanings.
◎Somecompoundwordsarenotentirelyarbitrary,e.g.type-writer,shoe-maker,air-conditioner,photocopy…
⏹Apes[eɪp]gibber['
dʒɪbə].猴子唧唧叫
⏹Roosterscrow.公鸡喔喔叫
⏹Henscluck.母鸡咯咯嗒
⏹Chickspeep.小鸡唧唧唧
⏹Bullsbellow.Cowsmoo.老牛哞哞哞
⏹Ducksquack[kwæ
k].鸭子嘎嘎嘎
⏹Catsmew.小猫喵喵叫
⏹Frogscroak.青蛙呱呱呱
⏹Goatsbleat.小羊咩咩咩
⏹Pigsgrunt.小猪呼噜噜
⏹Micesqueak[skwik].老鼠吱吱叫
⏹Dogsbark.小狗汪汪叫
◎Animalsmakemuchthesamesoundsaroundtheworld,buteachlanguageexpressesthemdifferently.EnglishandChinesecowssoundthesame,butnotinEnglishandChinese!
◎Thearbitrarylinkbetweenalinguisticsign语言符号anditsmeaning,however,isalsoconventional符合习俗的.
2)Productivity/Creativity
◎----Peculiarto是…特有的humanlanguages,usersoflanguagecanunderstandandproducesentencestheyhaveneverheardbefore.
◎Languageisresourceful资源丰富的becauseofitsduality二元性anditsrecursiveness[ri'
kə:
sivnis]递归性.Wecanuseittocreatenewmeanings.
◎Wordscanbeusedinnewwaystomeannewthings,andcanbeinstantly立即地understoodbypeoplewhohavenevercomeacross讲得清楚明白thatusagebefore.
◎Therecursivenature递归性oflanguageprovidesapotentialtocreateaninfinitenumberofsentences.Forinstance:
①Heboughtabookwhichwaswrittenbyateacherwhotaughtinaschoolwhichwasknownforitsgraduateswho...②Thisisthecatthatkilledtheratthatatethemalt麦芽thatlayinthehousethatJackbuilt.
3)Duality(doublearticulation)
Lowerlevel----sounds(meaningless)
Higherlevel----meaning(largerunitsofmeaning)
二层性是指拥有两层结构这种特性,上层结构的单位由底层结构的元素构成,每层都有自身的组合规则。
(Lyons,1981)
E.g.b-o-o-k(meaninglesssegments:
lowerlevel,secondary)→Book(meaningfulunit:
higherlevel,primary)Questions:
①Canyouthinkofsomeothersystemswiththepropertyofduality?
②Whyisthispropertygenerallyassumedascentraltolanguage?
③Doesanimallanguagehavethisproperty?
●Hierarchy等级制度oflanguage:
Thesecondarylevelsounds
(meaningless)syllables
↓↓
Theprimarylevelmorphemes
(meaningful)words
phrases
sentences(etc.)
4)Displacement
----Languagecanbeusedtorefertothings,whicharenotpresent(intimeandspace):
realorimaginedmattersinthepast,presentorfuture,orinfar-away遥远的places.
E.g.Agibbon长臂猿neverutters发出acallaboutsomethingheatelastyear.
◎Animalcommunicationisnormallyunder“immediatestimuluscontrol”(直接刺激控制).Forinstance,awarningcryofabirdinstantlyannouncesdanger.
◎Humanlanguageisstimulus-free.Whatwearetalkingaboutneednotbetriggeredbyanyexternalstimulus刺激intheworldoranyinternalstate.
5)Culturaltransmission
◎----Languageisculturallytransmitted(throughteachingandlearning;
ratherthanbyinstinct).
◎Animalcallsystemsaregeneticallytransmitted.Allcats,gibbonsandbeeshavesystemswhicharealmostidenticaltothoseofallothercats,gibbonsandbees.
◎Thestoryofawolfchild狼孩,apigchildshowsthatahumanbeingbroughtupinisolationsimplydoesnotacquirehumanlanguage.
