1.1.1 填空 判断：linguistics can be defined as the scientific or systematic study of language. It is a science studies the rules systems and principles of language. 3 cannons(标准):exhaustiveness全面性 consistency一致性 economy.linguistics study the origin, growth, organization. Nature and development of language and discovers the general rules and principles governing language. 2 purposes: study the nature, establish a theory and describe language by that theory; examines all language and seeks understanding ways to fulfill the needs human need.1.1.2 填空 判断 选择：Linguistics differ from traditional grammar:linguistics describes languages and does not lay down rules of correctness. linguists regard spoken as primary not written. Speech came earlier than writing system. traditional grammar based on Latin while linguistics describes each language on its own merits.1.1.4 名词解释Microlinguistics: Phonetics(语音学), phonology(语音学), morphology(形态学),syntax(句法学), semantics(语义学),pragmatics(语用学).Macrolinguistics: sociolinguistics(社会语言学),psycholinguistics(心理语言学),stylistics(文体学),discourse analysis(话语分析), computational linguistics(计算语言学),cognitive linguistics(认知语言学)1.2.1 全 especially判断Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.Language is a system, arbitrary, vocal. Language is used for human communication.1.2.3Arbitrariness(任意性): refers to the fact that there is no logical or intrinsic connection between a particular sound and the meaning it is associated with.Duality(二元性):organization of language into two levels - a level of sounds which combine into a second level of larger units is called duality. language works on two levels: 1 have no meaning but combine to form unites at another level have meaning.Productivity(创造性): linguistic ability enables to produce and understand sentences.Interchageability(可交换性):man can both produce and receive messages easily.Displacement(移位性):enable people to talk a thing in other space and time.Specialization:man does not have a total physical involvement in the act of communication.Cultural transmission(文化传递):language is culturally transmitted. Cannot be transmitted through heredity.1.2.4Phatic function交际功能, directive function 指示功能, informative function信息功能, interrogative function询问功能, expressive function表情功能, evocative function召唤功能, performative function施为功能, recreational function娱乐功能, metalingual function元语言功能（language can talk itself）1.3.1 descriptive and prescriptive grammar 描写式&规定式Descriptive describes what actually say, descriptive grammars attempt to tell what is in the language while prescriptive grammars tell people what should be in the language.1.3.2 synchronic and diachronic linguistics 共时性和历时性1.3.3 langue and parole 语言和言语Langue ParoleAbstract knowledge concrete manifestationSocial conventional individualizedCode messageStable and systematic subject to personal and situational1.3.4 competence and performance 语言能力和应用Competence refers to the knowledge that native speaker have of their language as a system of abstract relations, while performance refers to their actual linguistic behavior, that is, the actual use of this knowledge.1.3.5 syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations1.3.6functionalism and formalism功能主义和形式主义2.2.2 voiced and voiceless sound浊音和清音2.2.3nasal and oral sounds鼻音和口腔音2oralnasalvoicedb p dm n voicelessp t k2.2.4mannerplacebilabialslabiodentalsdentalsalveolarspalatalsvelarsglottalStopp bt dFricativesf v s z hAffricatest dLiquidsl rNasalsmnglideswj Front vowels: /i:/ / /e/ / / / The height of the tongue Central vowels: /:/ / / Back vowels: /u:/ /u/ /:/ / /:/ Rounded vowels: /u:/ /u/ /:/ / The shape of the lip Unrounded vowels: /i:/ / /e/ / / / /:/ / / /:/ Open vowels: / / / /:/ The width of the mouth Close vowels: /i:/ / /u:/ /u/ Semi-open vowels: /:/e/ / /:/ / / 2.2.5Liaison: The phenomenon of the linking of two words in speech, in particular when the second word begins with a vowel, is called liaison. The phrase “an egg” is often pronounced /neg/.Elision : the loss of a sound or sounds in speech is called elision. The word “suppose” is often pronounced as /spz/, “factory” as /fktr/.Assimilation: the way that sounds belonging to one word or one syllable can cause changes in sounds belonging to neighboring words or syllables is called assimilation. In English the negative prefix occurs as “im-” before words such as “possible”-”impossible”.2.3 Phonology : is the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language.2.3.1 Phoneme is the phonological units of language, and it is an abstract collection of phonetic features which and distinguish meaning.For example, sip and zip is signaled by the fact that the initial sound of the first word is s/s/ and the initial sound of the second word is z/z/./s/and /z/can therefore distinguish or contrast words. Such distinctive sounds are called phonemes.2.3.2minimal pairs and sets最小对立体Minimal pairs are two words which are identical in every way except for one sound segment that occurs in the same place in the stringMinimal pairs are pairs of words which differ from each other only by one sound.When a group of words can be differentiated each one from the others, by changing one phoneme (always in the same position), then we have a minimal set.2.3.3 free variationwhen two or more sounds occur in the same positon without any apparent change of meaning, they are said to be in free variation. For example, there are two pronunciation of the word either,we can say /i:r/ and /ar/.2.3.4distinctive featuresWhen a feature distinguishes one phoneme from another it is a distinctive feature (or a phonemic feature).For example, seal and zeal distinguishes by /s/ ad /z/,/s/ is voiceless and /z/ is voiced,so /s/ and /z/ is a voicing difference.2.3.5 syllables and consonant cluster音节和辅音丛Syllable structure syllable onset rime(rhyme) nucleus(peak) coda consonant(s) vowel consonant(s)consonant cluster:In English some words may contain a sequence of two or more consonants in one syllable, for example, /spl/ in /splendid/. Sequences of consonants like this are called consonant clusters.Initial cluster: /spl/ in /spl/ splash Final cluster: /st/ in /test/ test Medial cluster: /str/ in /pestr/ pastryA word which begins with three-consonant clusters always observes three strict rules:The first consonant must be /s/The second phoneme must be /p /or /t/ or /k/The third consonant must be /l / or /r / or /w / or /j /3.2 a morpheme is a minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function3.2.1Free morphemesa word must contain an element that can stand by itself, that is, a morpheme.The free morphemes can be generally considered as the set of separate English word-forms.Free morphemes can be divided into two categories:1 lexical morphemes, the set of ordinary nouns, verbs and adjectives which carry the content of message we convey. 2 functional morphemes, consists of the functional words in the language such as conjunctions, articles, prepositions and pronouns.3.2.2Bound morphemesSome morphemes cannot normally stand alone, but function only as part of words are called bound morphemes. Bound morphemes are actually affixes.Prefixes: affixes at the beginning of the root or stemSuffixes: affixed at the end of the root or stem2 categories: derivational morphemes: used to make new word in the language and are often used to make words of a different g
