1、英语语言学名词现代语言学一 绪论 1 Linguisitics: 语言学 Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language 2 Phonetics: 语音学 The study of sounds which are used in linguistics communication is called phonetics. For example, vowels and consonants 元音、辅音、声调、重音以及节奏、音变3 Phonology: 音韵学The study of how sounds
2、 are put together and used in communication is called phonology. For example, phone, phoneme, and allophone. 4 Morphology: 形态学The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words is called morphology. For example, boy and “ish”-boyish, teach-teacher. 5 Syntax: 句法学 The study of how morp
3、hemes and words are combined to form sentences is called syntax. For example, ”John like linguistics.” 6 Semantics: 语义学The study of meaning in language is called semantics. For example: “The seal could not be found. The zoo keeper became worried. The seal could not be found, The king became worried.
4、” Here the word seal means different things. 同义词、反义词,同音词7 Pragmatics: 语用学 The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics. For example, “I do” The word do means different context. 在特定情景中的特定话语,研究如何通过语境来理解和使用语言。8 Sociolinguistics: 社会语言The study of language with reference to society is call
5、ed sociolinguistics. For example: regional dialects, social variation in language. 方言,9 Psycholinguistics: 语言心理 The study of language with reference to workings of mind is called psycholinguistics. 二 音系学 1 Phonetics: 语音学The study of sounds that are used in linguistic communication is called phonetic
6、s. 2 Phonology: 音韵The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology. 3 Phone: 语音 Phone can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speaking a language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning; some do, some do
7、nt. 4 Phoneme: 音素;音位Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning. The basic unit in phonology is called phoneme; it is a unit that is of distinctive value. 5 Allophone: 音位变体The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the
8、allophones of that phoneme. 6 Complementary distribution: 互补分布,语言学专业名词。当两个语言成分(辅音、元音、词素等)不能在同一个环境中出现,即可形成语言互补分布。These two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in complementary distribution. 7 Minimal pair: 最小对,在一种语言中,在某一方面差异最小的一组成分When two different forms are identical in every way except f
9、or one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the stings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair. 8 Stress: 重读When a certain syllable of a word is stressed, it means that the syllable is pronounced with great force than the other or others. 9 tones: 声调Tones are pitch variation, which
10、 are caused by the different rates of vibration of the vocal cords. Pitch variations can distinguish meaning just like phoneme; therefore, the tone is a suprasegemental feature. 10 Intonation: 语调When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are
11、collectively known as intonation. Intonation plays an important role in conveying meaning in almost every language, especially in a language like English 三 形态学 1 morphology: 形态学Morphology is a branch of grammer which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. 2
12、inflectional morphology:曲折形态学 Inflectional morphology studies the inflections of word-formation. 3 derivational morphology: 派生形态学Derivational morphology is the study of word-formation. 4 morpheme: Morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of language. 5 free morpheme: 自由语素Free morpheme are the morphe
13、mes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves or in combination with other morphemes. 6 bound morpheme: 黏着词素Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be combined with other morphemes, either free or bound, to form a word. 7
14、 root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it bears clear, definite meaning; it must be combined with another root or an affix to form a word. 8 affix: 词缀Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational. 9 prefix: 前缀Prefix occur at the beginning of a
15、word. 10 suffix: 后缀Suffixes are added to the end of the stems; they modify the meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech. 11 derivation: 派生Derivation affixes are added to an existing form to create a word. Derivation can be viewed as the adding of affixes to stem to fo
16、rm nes words. 12 compounding: 复合词Like derivation, compounding is another popular and important way of forming new words in English. Compounding can be viewed as the combination of two or sometimes more than two words to create new words. 四 句法学 1 linguistic competence: Comsky defines competence as th
17、e ideal users knowledge of the rules of his language, and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. 2 sentence : A sentence is a structurally independent unit that usually comprises a number of words to form a complete statement question or command. 3 transfor
18、mation rules: Syntactic movement is governed by transformational rules. The operation of the transformational rules may change the syntactic representation of a sentence. 4 D-structure : A sentence may have two levels of syntactic representation. One exists before movement take place, the other occu
19、rs after movement take place. In formal linguistic exploration, these two syntactic representation are commonly termed as D-structure. 5 Move : Just as there is a general rule for all phrase structure rules,i,e. the X-bar schema, there is a general movement rule accounting for the syntactic behavior
20、 of any constituent movement. This movement rule is called Move 五 语义学 1 semantics: 语义学Semantics can be simply defined as the study of meaning in language. 2 sense: Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form; it
21、 is abstract and decontextualized. 3 reference: Reference means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience. 4 synonymy: 同义词Synonymy refers to the sameness or close similarity o
22、f meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonymy. 5 polysemy: 一词多义Polysemy refers to the fact that the same one word may have more than one meaning.A word having more than one meaning is called a polysemic word. 6 antonymy: 反义词Antonymy refers to the oppositeness of meaning. Words that
23、are opposite in meaning are called antonyms. 7 homonymy: 同音异意Homonymy refers to the phenomenon that words having different meanings have the same form,i.e. different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both. 8 hyponymy:下义关系Hyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more general, mor
24、e inclusive word and a more specific word. 9 componential analysis: 成分分析Componential analysis is a way to analyze wprd meaning. It was proposed by structural semanticists. 10 grammatical meaning: 语法意义The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality,i.e. its grammatical well-formedn
25、ess. The grammaticality of asentence is governed by the grammatical rules of the language. 11 semantic meaning : The semantic meaning of a sentence is governed by rules called selectional restrictions. 12 predication: 预言In semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is called predication. The pr
26、edication is the abstraction of the meaning of a sentence. 六 语用学 1 pragmatics: Pragmatics can be defined as the study of how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication. 2 context:语境,上下文 The notion of context is essential to the pragmatic study of language. Generally spea
27、king, it consists of the knowledge that is shared by the speaker and the hearer. 3 utterance meaning:话语意义 Utterance is based on sentence meaning; it is realization of the abstract meaning of a sentence in a real situation of communication, or simply in a context. 4 locutionary act: 言内行为A locutionary
28、 act is the act of utterance words,phrases,clauses. It is the act of conveying literal meaning by means of syntax, lexion and phonology. 5 illocutionary act: 言外行为An illocutionary act is the act expressing the speakers intention; It is the act performed in saying something. 6 perlocutionary act: 言后行为
29、A illocutionary act is the act performed by or resulting from saying something: it is the consequence of, or the change brought about by the utterance; it is the act performed by saying something. 七 历史语言学 1 historical linguistics: Historical linguistics is the subfield of linguistics that studies la
30、nguage change. 2 apocope: 字尾音消失(省略)Another well-documented sound loss is the deletion of a word-final vowel segement, a phenomenon called apocope. 3 epenthesis: 插入音A change that involves the insertion of a consonant or vowel sound to the middle of a word is known as epenthesis. 4 metathesis: 音位转换,语音
31、异位Sound change as a result of sound movement is known as metathesis. 5 compounding: Compounding is a process of combining two or more words into one lexical unit. 6 derivation: Derivation refers to the process by which new words are formed by the addition of affixes to the roots. 7 blending: Blendin
32、g is a process of forming a new word by combining parts of other words. 8 back-formation: Back-formation is a process by which new words are formed by taking away the suffix of an existing word. 9 semantic broadening: Semantic broadening refers to the process in which the meaning of a word becomes general or inclusive than its historically earlier denotation.10 semantic narrowing: Semantic narrowing is a process in which the meaning of a word becomes less general or inclusive than its historically earlier meaning. 11 semantic shift: Sema
