Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False:* 1. * phonetics tries to describe the physical properties of the stream of sounds which a speaker issues with the help of a machine called spectrograph. Vowel sounds can be differentiated by a number of factors: the position of tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels. A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning. Exercises * 26.

Number is also reflected in the inflections of pronouns and verbs.Gender(性) displays such contrasts as masculine, feminine, neuter or animate and inanimate, etc. for the analysis of word classes. When word items refer to the sex of the realworld entities，we natural gender (the opposite is grammatical gender).Case(格) identifies the syntactic relationship between words in a sentence. In Latin grammar, cases are based on variations in the morphological forms of the word, and are given the terms accusative, nominative, dative, English, the case category is realized in three ways: by following a preposition and by word order.Words and phrases are organized according to the syntactic categories they belong to.Apart from sentences and clauses, a syntactic categoryusually refers to a word (called a lexical category) or a phrase (called a phrasal category) that performs a particular grammatical function, such as the subject.syntactic categories may lead to three resultsConstitutes that can be substituted for one another without loss of grammaticality belong to the same syntactic category.a.

Grammatical relations(語法關(guān)系) The structural and logical relations of constituents are called grammatical relations. It concerns the way each noun phrase in the sentence relates to the verb. In many cases, grammatical relations refer virtually to “who” does “what” do whom”. We usually refer to the grammatical relations as “subject of” and “direct object of”.The subject precedes the verb and the direct object follows the verb, with the former called the structural subject and the latter the structural object. The structural subject is not necessarily the logical subject (the doer of an action) and the structural object is not necessarily the logical object (the recipient of the action).The man killed the dog.The dog was killed by the man.I left the wallet in the park.It was in the park that I left the wallet. Xbar theory is a general and highly abstract schema that collapses all phrasal structure rules into a single format: X″→ (Spec) X (Compl). In this format, Spec stands for specifier while Compl stands for plement. This theory is capable of reducing the redundancies of individual phrasal structure rules and may well capture certain basic properties shared by all phrasal categories, . NP, VP, AP, PP, across the languages of the world. The XP rule: XP (specifier) X (plement) give him some books。In what way can we determine whether a phone is a phoneme or not? syntax A subfield of linguistics that studies the sentence structure of is a major ponent of sentences are formed following a set of syntactic rules.What is a sentence？L. Bloomfield defines sentence as an independent linguistic form not included by some grammatical marks in any other linguistic form, ., it is not subordinated to a larger linguistic form, it is str
