3/Someimportantdistinctionsinlinguistics语言学研究中的几对基本概念
Prescriptiveanddescriptive规定与描写

Modernlinguisticsdiffersfromtraditionalgrammar.Traditionalgrammarisprescriptivewhilemodernlinguisticsisdescriptive.The

Speechandwriting口头语与书面语
Speechandwritingarethetwomajormediaofcommunication.Modernlinguisticsregardsthespokenformoflanguageasprimary,butnotthewrittenform.Reasonsare:
1.Speechprecedeswriting;
2.Therearestillmanylanguagesthathaveonlythespokenform;
3.Intermsoffunction,thespokenlanguageisusedforawiderrangeofpurposesthanthewritten,andcarriesalargerloadofcommunicationthanthewritten.

语音学研究的对象是语言的声音媒介,即人类语言中使用的全部语音。

4.Orthographicrepresentationofspeechsounds-broadandnarrow
transcriptions
语音的书写形式-宽式和窄式音标
IPA-InternationalPhoneticAlphabet国际音标
Therearetwowaystotranscribespeechsounds.Oneisthetranscriptionwithletter-symbols(字母符号)only,calledbroad
transcription(宽式音标).Theotheristhetranscriptionwith
letter-symbolstogetherwiththediacritics(变音符号),callednarrowtranscription(窄式音标).
实例:
对pit/spit中p音的比较:
pit中的p是送气音,在窄式音标中标为上标,写作:
[phit]spit中的p是不送气音,在宽式音标中不作标示,写作:
[spit]
对leaf/feel/build/health中l音的比较:
Leaf中l在元音前,叫清晰音,在宽式音标中不作标示,写作:
[li:
f]
Feel中l出现在单词结尾,叫模糊音,在窄式音标中加变音符号[~]Build中l出现在另一个辅音前,也叫模糊音,在窄式音标中也加变音符号
[~]
Health中l出现在齿音前,受其影响叫齿音[l],在窄式音标中加变音符号[II]
