1、Chapter 1 Introduction1. Explain the following definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language.請(qǐng)解釋以下語(yǔ)言學(xué)的定義：語(yǔ)言學(xué)是對(duì)語(yǔ)言的科學(xué)研究。Linguistics investigates not any particular languagebut languages in general.Linguistic study is scientific because it is baxxxxsed on the systematic inv

2、estigation of authentic language data.No serious linguistic conclusion is reached until after the linguist has done the following three things: observing the way language is actually usedformulating some hypothesesand testing these hypotheses against linguistic facts to prove their validity.語(yǔ)言學(xué)研究的不是

35、 examples the sequential rulethe assimilation ruleand the deletion rule.舉例說(shuō)明序列規(guī)則、同化規(guī)則和省略規(guī)則。Sequential rule rule governing the combination of sounds in a particular language For exampleif a word begins with a l or a rthen the next sound must be a vowel. Another exampleif three consonants should clust

36、er together at the beginning of a wordthe combination should obey the following three rules:the first phoneme must be sthe second phoneme must be /p/ or /t/ or /k/Word資料.the third phoneme must be /l/ or /r/ or /w/words like springspri ? strict strikt splendid splendid squareskwe ?在特定語(yǔ)言中控制聲音組合的序列規(guī)則例如

37、，如果一個(gè)單詞以l或r開(kāi)頭，那么下一個(gè)音必須是元音。另一個(gè)例子，如果三個(gè)輔音在一個(gè)單詞的開(kāi)頭聚在一起，組合應(yīng)該遵循以下三個(gè)規(guī)則(1)第一個(gè)音素必須是s(2)第二個(gè)音素必須是/p/或/t/或/k/第三個(gè)音素必須是/l/或/r/或/w/如 springspri ?strictstriktsplendidsquare skwe ?Assimilation rule rule assimilating one sound similar to the following one by copying one of its phonetic features.For examplewhie the i:

38、 sound is non-nasalized in such words teapeep and flee it is nasalized in words like beangreenteamand scream.This is because in all these sound combination the i: sound is followed by a nasaln or m.While we are pronouncing the i: soundwe are already getting ready to pronounce the subsequent nasal so

39、und.Another exampleprefix in- is not always pronouced as an alveolar nasal.It is so in the word indiscreet because the consonat that follows iti.e.dis an alveolar stop.But then sound in the word incorrect is actually pronouced as a velar nasali.e. ?.This is because the consonant that follows it is k

40、which is a velar stop.同化規(guī)則通過(guò)復(fù)制一個(gè)音的語(yǔ)音特征來(lái)同化與下一個(gè)音相似的音。例如，當(dāng)i:這個(gè)音在tea、peep和escape這樣的單詞中沒(méi)有鼻音化時(shí)，它在 bean、green、 team和scream這樣的單詞中有鼻音化。這是因?yàn)樵谒羞@些聲音組合中，i:后面跟著一個(gè)鼻音n或m。當(dāng)我們發(fā)i:音的時(shí)候，我們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好發(fā)后面的鼻音了。另一個(gè)例子，in-前綴并不總是發(fā)音成齒槽鼻音。在 輕率”一詞中是如此，因?yàn)樗竺娴妮o音，即 輕率，d為齒槽爆破音。 但是 不正確”這個(gè)詞中的n音實(shí)際上是發(fā)軟腭鼻音，即?。這是因?yàn)樗竺娴妮o音是k,這是一個(gè)velar stop軟腭爆破音。D

41、eletion rule rule governing the deletion of a sound in a certain phonetic context although it is represented in spelling.For examplethere is no g sound in signdesignparadigmbut in their corresponding forms signaturedesignationparadigmaticthe g is pronounced.i.e.letter g in -gn or-gm is deletedaccord

42、ing to the regular rule if no suffix is added.省略規(guī)則是在一定的語(yǔ)音上下文中對(duì)一個(gè)音進(jìn)行省略的規(guī)則，盡管它拼寫(xiě)正常顯示。例如，在signdesignparadigm 中沒(méi)有g(shù)音，但在它們相應(yīng)的變形中， signaturedesignationparadigmatic 中，g 是發(fā)音的。也就是說(shuō)，在 -gn 或-gm 中，如果不添 加后綴，則按規(guī)則省略字母g的發(fā)音。Word資料.What are suprasegmental features?How do the major suprasegmental features of English fu

43、nction in conveying meaning?什么是超切分特征？ 英語(yǔ)的主要超切分特征在表達(dá)意義上有什么作用？Suprasegmental features -phonological features above the sound segment level. The major suprasegmental features in English-word stresssentence stressintonation.Stress:Depending on the context in which stress is consideredthere are two kinds

44、 of stress:word stress and sentence stress.When we say that a certain syllable of a word is stressedwe mean that the syllable is pronounced with greater force than the other or others.English is a language in which stress is free in that it is not fixed on any particular syllable of a wordits positi

45、on varies from word to word.But the location of stress in English distinguishes meaningfor examplea shift of stress may change the part of speech of a word from a noun to a verb although its spelling remains unchanged.The noun has the stress on the first syllable and the corresponding verb has the s

46、tress on the second syllabel.Similar alternation of stress also occurs between a compound noun and a phrase consisting of the same elements.Sentence stress refers to the relative force which is given to the words in a sentence.Some words are more important that other wordsand the more important word

47、s are pronounced with greater force and made more important.Tones are pitch variationswhich are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords.English is not a tone language.When pitchstress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolationthey are collective

48、ly known as intonation.English has four basic types of intonation:the falling tonethe rising tonethe fall-rise toneand the rise-fall tone.The falling tone indicates that what is said is a straight-forwardmatter-of-fact statementthe rising tone often makes a question of what is saidand the fall-rise

49、tine often indicates that there is an implied message in what is said. 超切分特征-單音層面以上的音系特征。英語(yǔ)的主要超切分特征是單詞重音、句子重音、語(yǔ)調(diào)。重音:根據(jù)重音所處的語(yǔ)境，重音有兩種：?jiǎn)卧~重音和句子重音。當(dāng)我們說(shuō)一個(gè)單詞的某個(gè)音節(jié)重讀時(shí)，我們的意思是這個(gè)音節(jié)的發(fā)音比另一個(gè)或其他音節(jié)更 有力。英語(yǔ)是一種沒(méi)有重音的語(yǔ)言，重音不固定在單詞的任何一個(gè)音節(jié)上，它的位置因單詞 而異。但是英語(yǔ)中重音的位置可以區(qū)分意義，例如，重音的變化可能會(huì)使一個(gè)單詞的詞性從Word資料. 名詞變成動(dòng)詞，盡管它的拼寫(xiě)沒(méi)有變化。名詞的重音在第一個(gè)音

50、節(jié)，相應(yīng)的動(dòng)詞重音在第二 個(gè)音節(jié)。同樣的重音交替也發(fā)生在復(fù)合名詞和由相同成分組成的短語(yǔ)之間。句子重音是指一個(gè)句子中 單詞所受到的相對(duì)力量。有些單詞比其他單詞更重要，而更重要的單詞發(fā)音更有力，變得更 重要。聲調(diào)是音調(diào)的變化，是由聲帶的不同頻率的振動(dòng)引起的。英語(yǔ)不是一種聲調(diào)語(yǔ)言。當(dāng)音高、重音和音長(zhǎng)與句子而不是單詞本身聯(lián)系在一起時(shí)，它們統(tǒng)稱為語(yǔ)調(diào)。英語(yǔ)有四種基 本的語(yǔ)調(diào)類型 降調(diào)、升調(diào)、降升調(diào)和升降調(diào)。降調(diào)表明說(shuō)話是一種直截了當(dāng)、實(shí)事求是的陳述，升調(diào)常常對(duì)說(shuō)話內(nèi)容提出質(zhì)疑，而升調(diào)常 常表明說(shuō)話內(nèi)容中隱含著某種信息。Chapter 3 Morphology 形態(tài)學(xué)What does morpholog

53、d freely all by themselves. Such as helptableroommatequickfrightable-er-endis-bio-less-symthese morphemes cannot be used by themselvesbut must be combined with other morphemes to form words that can be used independently.They are called bound morphemes.Bound morphemes include two types: roots and af

54、fixes.A root is often seen as part of a word;it can never stand by itself although it bears cleardefinite meaning;it must be combined with another root or an affix to form a word. For example geo- bears the meaning of the earth -ology “ means a brand of learning . tele- meaning distantfar -vision “

55、meaning seeingsight .leter- means words” -al is an affix used to form adjectives.Affix :Word資料.According to functions we have inflectional and derivational affixes.Inflectional affixes or inflectional morphemes manifest various grammatical relations or categories such as munberstensedegree and posse
