1、语言学复习资料1第一次Exercise11 (1) metlanguage: it is the language used to analyze or describe a language. e.g. Some morphemes can derive new words, such as ness when it adhere to an adjective. (2) metalingual Metalingual is the function of language that can be used to talk about language itself. (3)Macrolin
2、guistics Macrolinguistics is the interedisciplinary study of language. It mainly includes such branches as Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics, Anthropological linguistics, Computational Linguistics, etc.(4)Langue: 略(5)Parole: 略(6)Competence: It is a language users underlying knowledge about the sys
3、tem of rules. (7)Performance: It refers to the actual use of language in concrete situations.2. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Give examplesfor illustration if necessary: 2-1. What are the major distinctions between langue and parole? The distinction between langue, a
4、nd parole was made by the famous linguist Ferdinand de Saussure early this century. Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. Langue is the set of conventions and rules which language
5、 users all have to follow while parole is the concrete use of the conventions and the application of the rules. Langue is abstract; it is not the language people actually use, but parole is concrete; it refers to the naturally occurring language events. Langue is relatively stable; it does not chang
6、e frequently; while parole varies from person to person, and from situation to situation. 2-2. How do you understand competence and performance? American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950s proposed the distinction between competence and performance. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal users k
7、nowledge of the rules of his language. This internalized set of rules enables the language user to produce and understand an infinitely large number of sentences and recognize sentences that are ungrammatical and ambiguous. According to Chomsky,performance is the actual realization of this knowledge
8、 in linguistic communication. Although the speakers knowledge of his mother tongue is perfect, his performances may have mistakes because of social and psychological factors such as stress, embarrassment, etc. Chomsky believes that what linguists should study is the competence, which is systematic,
9、not the performance, which is too haphazard.2.4. Saussures distinction between langue and parole seems similar to Chomskys distinction between competence and performance. What do you think are their major differences? Although Saussures distinction and Chomskys are very similar, they differ at least
10、 in that Saussure took a sociological view of language and his notion of langue is a matter of social conventions, and Chomsky looks at language from a psychological point of vies and to him, competence is a property of the mind of each individual.3. Decide whether each of the following statements i
11、s True or False: (1)Phonology is the study of speech sounds that human voice is capable of creating whereas phonetics is the study of a subset of those sounds that constitute language and meaning. (2) Phonetics is different from phonology in that the first focuses on chaos while the second focuses o
12、n order.(3)Morphology studies how words can be formed to produce meaningful sentences. (4)The study of the ways in which morphemes can be combined to form words is called morphology. (5) Syntax is different from morphology in that the former not only studies the morphemes, but also the combination o
13、f morphemes into words and words into sentences. (6) The study of meaning in language is known as semantics. (7) Both semantics and pragmatics study meanings. 4. There are four choices following each statement. Mark the choice that can best complete the statement. (1) Saussure took a (n)_ view of la

Phonetics: Phonetics is the science which studies the characteristics of human sound-making, especially those sounds used in speech and provides methods for their description, classi
19、fication and transcription.2. Articulatory Phonetics is the study of the production of speech sounds.3. Acoustic Phonetics is the study of the physical properties of the sounds produced in speech. 4. Auditory Phonetics is concerned with the perception of speech sounds5. Phonology is the study of the
20、 sound patterns and sound systems of languages. It aims to discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages, and to explain the variations that occur.6. Speech Organs: It is also named as VOCAL ORGANS, are those parts of the human body involved in the production of speec

IPA It is the abbreviation of International Phonetic Alphabet, which is devised by the International Phonetic Association in 1888 on the basis of the phonetic alphabet proposed at the time.
22、Since then it has undergone a number of revisions. 8. The manner of articulation It refers to ways in which articulation can be accomplished.9.

27、uire the quality of a speech sound. (T)2. Two sounds are in free variation when they occur in the same environment and do not contrast, namely, the substitution of one for the other does not produce a different word, but merely a different pronunciation. (T) 3. p is a voiced bilabial stop. (F)4. In
28、most cases, the number of syllables of a word corresponds to the number of morphemes. (F) Fill in the blanks1.Consonant sounds can also be made when two organs of speech in the mouth are brought close together so that the air is pushed out between them, causing _friction _.2. The qualities of vowels
29、 depend upon the position of the tongue and the lips. 3. In English there are a number of diphthong, which are produced by moving from one vowel position to another through intervening positions.4. Consonant sounds can be either voiceless or voiced , while all vowel sounds are voiced.5. _Pitch_ vari
