【正文】 roduced with the obstruction released and the air passing out again is called a stop or a plosive. they are[b] [p] [t] [d] [k] [g] The basic unit in the study of morphology and the smallest meaningful unit of language. Morpheme Free morphemes are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves. morphemes Bound morphemes are these morphemes that canot be used by themselves, must be bined with other morphemes to form words that can be used independently. Root is the base form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity. The collective term for the type of formative that can be used only when added to another morpheme. affixes The manifestation of grammatical relationships through the addition of inflectional affixes, such as number, tense, degree and case. affixes The manifestation of relation between stems and affixes through the addition of derivational affixes. A stem is the existing form to which a derivational affix can be added. a stem can be a bound root ,a free morpheme, or a derived form itself. rules They are rules that govern which affix can be added to what type of stem to form a new word. Prefixes modify the meaning of the stem ,but usually do not change the part of speech of the original word, exceptions are the prefixes ‘be‘ and ‘en(m)‘ Suffixes are added to the end of stems, they modify the meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech. using the morphological rules, we must guard against Overgeneralization. A structurally independent unit that usually prises a number of words to form a plete statement, question or mand. petence The system of internalized linguistic knowledge of a language speaker. The part of a sentence which prises a finite verb or a verb phrase and which says something about the subject is grammatically called predicate. Clause A clause that takes a subject and a finite verb, and at the same time stands structurally alone. Clause (E C) In a plete sentence, the incorporated or subordinate clause is normally called an E C . Clause In a plexed sentence, the clause into which it is embedded is called a matrix clause. structure The sentence structure that groups words into structural constituents and shows the syntactic categories of each structural constituent, such as NP and VP. relations The structural and logical functional relations between every noun phrase and sentence. category A word or phrase that performs a particular grammatical function such as the subject or object. A level of syntactic representation after the operation of necessary syntactic movement. A level of syntactic representation before the operation of necessary syntactic movement. grammar A system of linguistic knowledge which consists of some general principles and parameters about nature language. 規(guī)則Move α A general movement rule accounting for the syntactic behavior of any constituent movement. movement Syntactic movement occurs when a constituent moves out of its original place to a new position. rules Syntactic movement is dictated by rules traditionally called transformational rules, whose operation may change the syntactic representation of a sentence. theory A general and highly abstract schema that collapses all phrases structure rules into a single format :X”→（Spec）X(Compl). naming theory The naming theory, one of the oldest notions concerning meaning, and also a very primitive one was proposed by the ancient Greek scholar Plato. According to this theory, the linguistic forms or symbols, in other words,the words used in a language are taken to be labels of the objects they stand for, so words are just names or labels for things. conceptualist view It holds that there is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to。parole提出Competence和performance ⑶曾經(jīng)對(duì)語(yǔ)言概念下過(guò)定義的語(yǔ)言學(xué)家 Sapirlanguage is a purely human and noninstinctive method of munication ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols. Halllanguage is the institution whereby humans municate and interact with each other by means of habitually used oralauditory arbitrary symbols. Chomskyfrom now on I will consider language to be a set of sentences, each finite in length and constructed out of a finite set of elements. ⑷ Linguist Charles Hockett Charles Hockett design features resulting from careful investigations show that there have been over5,000languages in the world, about two thirds of which have not had written form. Acoustic–studies the physical properties of speech sounds ,the way sound travel from the speaker to the hearer. are the English consonants classified? By place of articulation and By manner of articulation do phonetics and phonology differ in their focus of study? who do you think will be more interested in the different between say[i]and[i],[p] and[ph],a phonetician or a philologist? why? 語(yǔ)音學(xué)和音位學(xué)的研究中心有何不同?語(yǔ)音學(xué)家和音位學(xué)家哪一個(gè)更關(guān)心清晰音的區(qū)別?為什么? Phonetics —description of all speech sounds and their find differences. Phonology —description of sound systems of particular languages and how sounds function to distinguish meaning. A phonetician would be more interested in such differences cos such differences will not cos differences in meaning. ’s a phone? how is it different from a phoneme? how are allophones related to a phoneme? Phone—a speech sound ,a phonetic unit. Phonemea collection of abstract sound features, a phonological unit. Allophonesactual realization of a phoneme in different phonetic contexts. is a minimal pair and a minimal set? why is it important to identify the minimal set in a language?為什么區(qū)分最小對(duì)立組在一種語(yǔ)言中非常重要? Minimal pair—two sound binations identical in every way except in one
