People dont say X. The first is a prescriptive command, while the second is a descriptive statement.,2). Synchronic（共时性） vs. Diachronic （历时性） synchronic: takes a fixed instant as its point of observation. diachronic: the study of a language through the course of its history.,举例： 研究1800年的英语发音 Synchronic studies (共时性研究) 研究1800-1900的法语语法变化 Diachronic studies (历时研究),2. 世界语言分类,2. 世界语言分类,Important Distinctions in Linguistics,3). langue（语言） & parole （言语） Theorist：Saussure（索绪尔）, father of modern linguistics langue: abstract linguistic system parole: actual realization of langue,Important Distinctions in Linguistics,举例： 汉语系统 langue 每个中国人在不同具体场景中说出的具体话语 parole,Important Distinctions in Linguistics,4) Competence（语言能力） and performance （语言运用） theorist: Chomsky(乔姆斯基) competence: users knowledge of rules about the linguistic system. performance: the actual realization of this knowledge in concrete situations.,5. Scope of Linguistics (语言学的研究范围) 1）按研究内容来分 2）按研究导向来分,语言学分类-按研究内容分,语言学分类-按研究内容分,语言学分类-按研究导向分,语言学分类-按研究内容分,语言学分类-按研究内容分,考点: 1.语音学(phonetics)和音系学(phonology)的定义和区别 2.语音学重要概念: 清音和浊音 3.音系学重要概念: 音子，音位, 超音段特征,Phonetics studies all speech sounds in human languages: how they are produced, transmitted and how they are received. Phonology: aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication. 区别: meaning(是否研究和表达意义有关的语音）,举例: too 和 tea 中的 /t/ 发too中的/t/时, 舌位更靠近口腔前部 发tea中的/t/时，舌位更靠近口腔后部 语音学要研究这种/t/发音的不同之处, 音系学不研究,Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived.,语音学分类,articulatory phonetics(发音语音学): speakers production acoustic phonetics（声学语音学）: transmissions medium auditory phonetics(听觉语音学): receivers reception,如何记忆phonetics和phonolgy的区别: 联想: mathematics, physics, mechanics phonetics 语言学，-ics科学性更强 geology, sociology, astrology phonology 音系学，-ology人文性更强,How speech sounds are made,Speech organs,Position of the vocal folds(声带): voicing(浊音) and voiceless (清音),Voiceless(清音)：vocal cords are drawn wide apart, letting the air stream go through without causing obstruction 清音举例：p,s,t Voicing/Voiced（浊音）：vocal cords held together, letting the air stream vibrates 浊音: b,z,d,The distinction between vowels and consonants lies in the obstruction of airstream. As there is no obstruction of air in the production of vowels, the description of the consonants and vowels cannot be done along the same lines.,音系学定义：study of how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication. 音系学重要概念: phone音子， phoneme音位 (音系研究的基本单位) supra-segmental features超音段特征,Phone(音子)：a phonetic unit; the speech sounds we hear and produce during communication are all phones 举例: too 和 tea 中的 /t/ 发too中的/t/时, 舌位更靠近口腔前部 发tea中的/t/时，舌位更靠近口腔后部 所以too 和 tea 中的 /t/两个不同的音子,Phoneme(音位): phonological and abstract unit, a unit of distinctive value; the smallest unit of sound in a language which can distinguish two words. 举例： tea 和 sea, /t/和/s/是两个不同的音位morpheme,What is the point of departure of phonology?

A. phone B. sound C. voice D. phoneme,What is the point of departure of phonetics? A. phone B. sound C. voice D. phoneme,Suprasegmental features (超音段特征),Suprasegmental features: phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments . The principal suprasegmentals are:,Supra-segmental features (超音段特征)： stress （重音） 举例: perfect (adj) 和 perfect (v) tone (声调)/pitch (音高): 定义: sound feature which are caused by the differing rate of vibration of the vocal folds. 举例: m妈, m麻, m马， m骂 比较：英语单词，如me,intonation （语调）：pitch, stress, and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation. 举例:,Morphology 形态学,1. 学科定义 2. 语素的定义和分类 3. 词的分类（classification of words）,形态学研究的基本单位,1. morpheme(语素）. The most basic element of meaning in language，an element that cannot be further divided into smaller units without altering its meaning. 举例： ball football balls,Types of Morphemes,Free morphemes vs. Bound morphemes（自由语素和黏着语素）: Free morphemes: those that may constitute words by themselves, eg boy, girl, table, nation. Bound morphemes: those that cannot occur alone, eg -s, -ed, dis-, un-.,Types of Bound Morpheme,Inflectional morpheme (屈折语素)=inflectional affix(屈折词缀)：change the grammatical meaning (number, aspect, case, tense) Derivational morpheme（派生语素）=inflectional affix (派生词缀）: change the lexical meaning,dis+like+s derivational free inflectional morpheme,light+en+ed free derivational inflectional morpheme,Derivational morpheme(改变词义): 改变词义：dis-, un-, multi-, micro- 改变词性：en-, -full, -ment Inflectional morpheme（改变语法含义）: 改变名称的性，数，格：-ess, -s, 改变动词的时, 态，体: -ing, -ed, 改变形容词的级：-er, -est,词的分类-按构词法分,如何区分派生词（derivational word）和 合成词(compound word) : 拆开后看各个组成的语素能否都单独成词，如果可以，就是合成词，如果不能就是派生词。 Businessman: business + man Playboy: play + boy Mouthful: mouth + ful Lighten: light + en,词的分类-按词义分,词的分类-按开放性分,词的分类-按在句子重要性分,Syntax 句法,考点 1. 定义 2. 句法范畴 3. 句子类型,1.

Meaning is studied by making detailed analyses of the way words and sentences are used in specific contexts. Reference（指称）: how language refers to the real physical world (语言指代外部物质世界) Sense（涵义）: inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It is abstract and the meaning dictionary compilers are interested in. (语言形式的内在意义),concept symbolizes refers to symbol referent (word) stands for (object),Synonymy 同义,Synonymy 同义: sameness or similarity of meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonyms.,同义分类举例,dialectical synonym地域同义词： 举例: fall and autumn, flat and apartment stylistic synonym风格同义词： 举例: cop and police, kid and offspring collocational synonym搭配同义词： 举例: accuse of, charge with, rebuke for Semantically different synonym语义稍有不同的同义词: 举例: surprise and astound, blame and rebuke,Antonymy 反义,Antonymy 反义: oppositeness of meaning.

Speech Act Theory,John Austin (1911-1960) How to Do Things with Words (1962) Main Idea: things can be done with words,Constatives(叙事句) vs. performatives（施为句） Constatives（叙事句）: utterances which roughly serves to state a fact, report that something is the case, or describe what something is, eg: I go to the park every Sunday. I teach English.,Performatives（施为句）: utterances which are used to perform acts, do not describe or report anything at all; the uttering of the sentence is the doing of an action; they cannot be said to be true or false. Performative verbs: name, bet, etc.,Three Speech Acts (三种言语行为),A locutionary act (言内行为): the act of uttering words, phrase, sentences. It is an act of conveying literal meaning by means of syntax, lexicon and phonology. An illocutionary act（言外行为）: an act of expression speakers intention; it is an act performed in saying something.

Locutionary act(言内行为): the act of uttering the words of “you”, “have”, “left”, “the”, “door”, “open” Illocutinary act(言外行为): the act of expressing the teachers intention of asking the student to close the door. Perlocutionary act(言后行为): the effect of the utterance: student goes to close the door,103,Illocutionary Act Theory,美国哲学家John Searle (约翰-塞尔， 1932-) 在Austin理论基础上把言外行为进一步分为5类： 陈述（assertives），指示(directives)，承诺(commissives)，表达(expressives)，宣告（declaratives）,Conversational Implicature（会话含义理论）,Theorist：英国语言学家Herbert Paul Grice (格莱斯，1913-1988) Main Idea: People do not usually say things directly but tend to imply them.,The Cooperative Principle (CP，合作原则),Maxim of Quality（数量准则） Maxim of Quantity（质量准则） Maxim of Relation（关系准则） Maxim of Manner（方式准则）,The Cooperative Principle (CP，合作原则),Maxim of Quality（数量准则） Do not say what you believe to be false. Do not say something if you lack adequate evidence; Maxim of Quantity（质量准则） Maxim of Relation（关系准则） Maxim of Manner（方式准则）,Maxim of Quality（数量准则） Maxim of Quantity（质量准则）： Make your contribution as informative as required (for the current purposes of the exchange). Do not make your contribution more informative than required. Maxim of Relation（关系准则） Maxim of Manner（方式准则）,Maxim of Quality（数量准则） Maxim of Quantity（质量准则） Maxim of Relation（关系准则）： Be relative.

Linguistic determinism: L may determine our thinking patterns.
