發(fā)布時間：2017-05-21 16:17:07第一章:Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.(語言學(xué)普遍被定義為對語言進(jìn)行的科學(xué)研究.)Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.(語言是用于人類交際目的的一套任意的有聲符號系統(tǒng).)The scope of linguistics(語言學(xué)的研究視野):1.phonetics(語音學(xué))2.phonology(音位學(xué))3.morphology(形態(tài)學(xué))4.syntax(句法學(xué))5.semantics(語義學(xué))6.pragmatics(語用學(xué))Some important distinctions in linguistics(語言學(xué)中的一些重要區(qū)分):1.prescriptive descriptive(規(guī)定性與描寫性)2.synchronic diachronic(共時性與歷時性)3.speech and writing(言語與文字)4.language and parole(語言與言語)5.competence and performance(語言能力與語言運(yùn)用)6.traditional grammar and modern linguistics(傳統(tǒng)語法與現(xiàn)代語言學(xué))The difference between traditional grammar and modern linguistics(傳統(tǒng)語法與現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)之間的異同點(diǎn)):1.Linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive.2.Modern linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written.3.Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework.The design/defining features of human language(語言的甄別性特征):1.Arbitrariness(語言的武斷性/任意性)2. Productivity(語言的創(chuàng)造性)3.Duality(語言的二重性)4.Displacement(語言的移位性)5.Cultural transmission(語言的文化傳遞性)第二章:Phonetics(語音學(xué)) is defined as the study of the phonic medium of language; it is concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world s languages.(語音學(xué)指的是對語言的語音媒介進(jìn)行的研究)Three branches of phonetics:1.Articulatory phonetics(發(fā)音語音學(xué)) from the speakers point of view, how speakers produce speech sounds.2.Auditory phonetics(聽覺語音學(xué)) from the hearer s point of view, how sounds are perceived.3.Acoustic phonetics(聲學(xué)語音學(xué)) from the physical way or means by which sounds are transmitted from one to another.Speech organs(發(fā)音器官):three important areas:1.the pharyngeal cavity(咽腔)----the throat2.the oral cavity(口腔)----the mouth3.the nasal cavity(鼻腔)----the noseThe diagram of speech organs:1.lips(唇) 2.teeth(齒) 3.teeth ridge(alveolus)(牙齒/齦) 4.hard palate(硬腭) 5.soft palate(velum)(軟腭) 6.uvula(小舌) 7.tip of tongue(舌尖) 8.blade of tongue(舌面) 9.back of tongue(舌后) 10.vocal cords(聲帶) 11.pharyngeal cavity(咽腔) 12.nasal cavity(鼻腔)Orthographic representation of speech sounds(語音的正字法表征):1. A standardized and internationally accepted system of phonetic transcription is the International Phonetic Alphabet(IPA)國際音標(biāo).2. The basic principle of the IPA is using one letter to represent one speech sound.(其基本原則是一個字母待變一個音.)Braod transcription(寬式標(biāo)音)----used in dictionary and textbook for general purpose, without diacritics.Narrow transcription(嚴(yán)式標(biāo)音)----used by phonetician for careful study, with diacritics.Classification of English consonants(輔音的分類):Ⅰ、in terms of manner of articulation(發(fā)音方式):1.stops(閉塞音)/plosives(爆破音)2.fricatives(摩擦音)3.affricates(塞擦音)4.liquids(流音)5.nasals(鼻音)6.glides(滑音)/semivowels(半元音)Ⅱ、in terms of place of articulation(發(fā)音部位):1.bilabial(雙唇音)2.labiodental(唇齒音)3.dental(齒音)4.alveolar(齒齦音)5.palatal(腭音)6.velar(軟腭音)7.glottal(喉音)Classification of English vowels(元音的分類):1.monophthongs or pure/single vowels(單元音)2.diphthongs(雙元音)Phonology(音位學(xué)) studies the patterning of speech sounds, that is , the ways in which speech sounds forms systems and patterns in human languages.(音位學(xué)研究的是語音如何組合在一起并在交流中傳達(dá)意義.)Phone(音素):a phone is a phonetic unit or segment. The speech sounds we hear and produce during linguistic communication are all phones.(音素是一個語音單位或者說語音段.我們在語言交際中聽到的、發(fā)出的語音都是音素。)Phoneme(音位):a phoneme is a phonological unit; it is a unit that is of distinctive value. It is an abstract unit. It is not any particular sound, but rather it is represented or realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context.(音位是一個音位學(xué)的單位,而且是一個有區(qū)別意義的單位,是個抽象的單位.它不是指任何語言,而是由某特定語音情境下的某個音素來代表或?qū)崿F(xiàn).)Allophone(音位變體) can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments .Phonemic contrast(音位對立):different or distinctive phonements sre in phonemic contrast.(如果相似的語音是2個區(qū)別性的音位,就可以說這兩個音形成了音位對立.)Complementary distribution(互補(bǔ)分布):allophones of the same phoneme are in complementary distribution.They do not distinguish meaning, they occur in different phonetic contexts. (如果相似的語音是同一個音位的音位變體,那么它們就不能區(qū)別意義,而是在分布上互相補(bǔ)充,這樣兩個音處于互補(bǔ)分布之中.)Minimal pair(最小對立體):when two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two sound combinations are said to form a minimal pair.( 當(dāng)兩個詞除了一個在此語言串的同一位置上產(chǎn)生的語音音段之外,在其他所有方面都相同,那么這兩個聲音組合就可以說是形成了一個最小對立體.)Some rules in phonology:1.sequential rules(序列規(guī)則)2.assimilation rule(同化規(guī)則)3.deletion rule(省略規(guī)則)Suprasegmental features(超切分特征):1.stress(重音) 2.tone(音調(diào)) 3.intonation(語調(diào))What criteria are used to classify the English vowels?答:Vowel sounds are differentiated by a number of factors:the position of the tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels.1.Vowels may be distinguished as front, central, and back according to which part of the tongue is held highest.2.The openness of the mouth:close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels, and open vowels.3.The shape of the lips:unrounded, rounded4.Then the English vowels can also be classified according to the length of the sound. Corresponding to the distinction of long and short vowels is the distinction of tense and lax vowels.第三章:Morphology(形態(tài)學(xué)) refers to the study of the internal structure of words, and the rules by which words are formed.(形態(tài)學(xué)就是對于詞的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)和構(gòu)成規(guī)則的研究.)第四章:Synatx(句法學(xué)) is a branch of linguistics that studies how words are combined to form sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences.(句法學(xué)是語言學(xué)的一個分支,它研究詞是如何被組合成句子的,以及支配句子構(gòu)成的規(guī)則.)Category(范疇) refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same of similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence, a noun phrase or a verb.(范疇是指在某一特定的語言中執(zhí)行相同或相近功能的一組語言項(xiàng)目,如句子,名詞或短語,或者動詞.)The ariteria on which categories are determined(判斷詞范疇的方法):1.meaning(意義) 2.inflection(曲折變化) 3.distribution(分布)Phrases(短語) that are formed of more than one word usually contain the following elements(成分): head(中心語), specifier(標(biāo)志語), and complement(補(bǔ)語).第五章:Semantics(語義學(xué)) can be simply defined as the study of meaning.Some views concerning the study of meaning:1.the naming theory(命名論)2.the conceptualist view(概念論): This view holds that there is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to;rather, in the interpretation of meaning they are linked through the mediation of concepts in the mind.(概念論認(rèn)為,在語言學(xué)的形式合它的所指之間并不存在著直接的聯(lián)系;而是在意義的詮釋中,它們通過大腦思維中的概念)3.contextualism(語境論): Meaning should be studied in terms of situation, use, context---elements closely linked with language behaviour.(意義應(yīng)當(dāng)從場景\運(yùn)用\語境這些與語言行為緊密相聯(lián)的成分的角度來進(jìn)行研究.)4.behaviorism(行為主義論): Behaviorists attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer. (言者發(fā)出該形式的場景和它在聽者身上所起的反應(yīng).)Sense(意義) is the inherent meaning of the linguistic form.(意義指的是語言形式的內(nèi)在含義.)Reference(指陳) means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world; it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience.(指陳指的是語言形式在現(xiàn)實(shí)物質(zhì)世界中所指的事物,是語言成分和非語言成分的經(jīng)驗(yàn)世界之間的關(guān)系.)Synonymy(同義現(xiàn)象) refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonyms(同義詞).(同義現(xiàn)象是指意義的相同或極為相近.意義相同的詞稱為同義詞.)1.Dialectal synonys(方言同義詞)2.Stylistic synonys(文體同義詞)3.Synonys that differin their emotive or evaluative meaning(情感或評價意義存在差異的同義詞)4.Collocational synonys(搭配同義詞)5.Semantically different synonys(語義上存在差異的同義詞)Words that are opposite in meaning are antonyms(反義詞).1.Gradable antonyms(等級反義詞)2.Complementary antonyms(互補(bǔ)反義詞)3. Relational oppsites(關(guān)系反義詞)第六章:Pragmatics(語用學(xué)): It is the study of how speakers of a language use sentences to effect successful communication.(語用學(xué)是研究某一語言的使用者如何利用句子而達(dá)成到成功的交際.)What essentically distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning the context of use is considered.(語義學(xué)和語用學(xué)的區(qū)別就在于意義的研究中是否考慮到語境的因素.)Context(語境): a basic concept in the study of pragmatics.

發(fā)布時間：2017-05-21 16:15:44新編簡明英語語言學(xué)教程筆記Chapter one Introduction一、定義1.語言學(xué)LinguisticsLinguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.2.普通語言學(xué)General LinguisticsThe study of language as a whole is often called General linguistics.3.語言languageLanguage is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.語言是人類用來交際的任意性的有聲符號體系。4.識別特征Design FeaturesIt refers to the defining poperties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication.Arbitrariness任意性 Productivity多產(chǎn)性 Duality雙重性 Displacement移位性 Cultural transmission文化傳遞⑴arbitrarinessThere is no logical connection between meanings and sounds.P.S the arbitrary nature of language is a sign of sophistication and it makes it possible for language to have an unlimited source of expressions⑵ProductivityAnimals are quite limited in the messages they are able to send.⑶DualityLanguage is a system, which consists of two sets of structures ,or two levels.⑷DisplacementLanguage can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker.⑸Cultural transmissionHuman capacity for language has a genetic basis, but we have to be taught and learned the details of any language system. this showed that language is culturally transmitted. not by instinct. animals are born with the capacity to produce the set of calls peculiar to their species.二、知識點(diǎn)1.language is not an isolated phenomenon, it s a social activity carried out in a certain social environment by human beings.語言不是一種孤立的現(xiàn)象，而是人類在一定的社會環(huán)境下進(jìn)行的一種社會活動。⑶曾經(jīng)對語言概念下過定義的語言學(xué)家Sapir---language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of communication ideas, emotions and desires by means of voluntarily produced symbols.Hall----language is the institution whereby humans communicate and interact with each other by means of habitually used oral-auditory arbitrary symbols.Chomsky---from 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.⑷U.S.A Linguist Charles Hockett美國語言學(xué)家Charles Hockett提出了語言的識別特征design features3.the word language preceded by the zero-article ,it implies that linguistics studies not any particular language.Language一詞前不加冠詞說明語言學(xué)家不只研究一種特定的語言。4.in order to discover the nature of the underlying language system ,what the linguists has to do first if to study language facts.5.language is a complicated entity with multiple layers and facts, so it"s hardly possible for the linguistics to deal with it all at once.6.Frist drew the attention of the linguists were the sounds used in languages.最先引起語言學(xué)家注意的是語言的發(fā)音。三、問答題1.what are major branches of linguistics? what does each study?Phonetics----it s defined as the study of the phonic medium of language, it s concerned with all the sounds that occur in the world s languages.Phonology---the study of sounds systems the inventory of distinctive sounds that occur in a language and the patterns into which they fall.Morphology---It s a branch of a grammar which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed.Syntax-------it"s a subfield of linguistics that studies the sentence structure of a language.Semantics---It s simply defined as the study of meaning in abstraction.Pragmatics---the study of meaning in context of words.Sociolinguistics the study of language with reference to society.Psycholinguistics---the study of language with reference to the working of the mind.Applied linguistics---the application of linguistic principles and theories to language teaching and learning.2.why do we say language is arbitrary?Language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between the sounds that people use and the objects to which these sounds refer.The fact that different languages have different words for the same object is a good illustration of the arbitrary nature of language, it s only our tacit agreement of utterance and concept at work and not any innate relationship bound up in the utterance.A typical example to illustrate the arbitrariness of language is a rose by any other name would smell as sweet .3. what makes modern linguistics different from traditional grammar?Modern linguistics is descriptive, its investigations are based on authentic and mainly spoken language date.現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)是描述性的，其研究以確實(shí)可靠的、主要以口語形式的資料為基礎(chǔ)。traditional grammar is prescriptive. it is based on high written language.傳統(tǒng)語法是規(guī)定性的，研究 高級 書面語。4.Is modern linguistics mainly synchronic or diachronic? whyModern linguistics is mainly synchronic, focusing on the present-day language. unless the various states of a language are successfully studied, it will not be possible to describe language from a diachronic point of view.現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)主要是共時性的，重點(diǎn)研究現(xiàn)代語言。除非對語言的各種狀態(tài)都進(jìn)行成功的研究，否則很難從歷時性角度對語言進(jìn)行描述。5.which enjoys priority in modern linguistics, speech or writings?Speech enjoys for the following reasons:⑴Speech precedes writing in terms of evolution.⑵A large amount of communication is carried out in speech than in writing.⑶speech is the form in which infants acquire their native language.6.how is Saussure s distinction between langue and parole similar to Chomsky s ?Both Saussure and Chomsky make the distinction between the abstract language system and the actual use of language. their purpose is to single out the language system for serious studyTwo linguists idea differ in that Saussure took a sociological view of language, Chomsky looks at language from a psychological point of view, competence is a property of the mind of each individual.1/ What is linguistics?什么是語言學(xué)？Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language. It studies not any particular language, but languages in general.2/ The scope of linguistics語言學(xué)的研究范疇The study of language as a whole is often called general linguistics. (普通語言學(xué))The study of sounds, which are used in linguistic communication, is called phonetics.（語音學(xué)）The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology. （音系學(xué)）The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words are called morphology. （形態(tài)學(xué)）The study of how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences is called syntax（句法學(xué)）The study of meaning in language is called semantics. （語義學(xué)）The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics. （語用學(xué)）The study of language with reference to society is called socio-linguistics.（社會語言學(xué)）The study of language with reference to the working of mind is called psycho-linguistics. （心理語言學(xué)）The study of applications (as the recovery of speech ability) is generally known as applied linguistics. （應(yīng)用語言學(xué)） But in a narrow sense, applied linguistics refers to the application of linguistic principles and theories to language teaching and learning, especially the teaching of foreign and second language.Other related branches include anthropological linguistics, （人類語言學(xué)） neurological linguistics, （神經(jīng)語言學(xué)） mathematical linguistics, （數(shù)字語言學(xué)）and computational linguistics. （計算機(jī)語言學(xué)）Chapter Two Phonology一、定義.元音VowelThe sounds in the production of which no articulators come very close together and the air stream passes through the vocal tract without obstruction are called vowels..輔音ConsonantsThe sounds in the production of which there is an obstruction of the air stream at some point of the vocal tract are called consonants..最小對立對Minimal pairWhen two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair.超切分特征SuprasegmentalThe phonemic features that occur above the level of the segment are called suprasegmental features. the main suprasegmental features include stress ,intonation and tone..互補(bǔ)分布complementary distributionTwo allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in complementary distribution.13.語言的語音媒介Phonic medium of languageThe limited range of sounds which are meaningful in human communication and are of interest to linguistic studies are the phonic medium of language.14.爆破音stopsWhen a obstruction created by the speech organs is total or complete, the speech sound produced 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]二、知識點(diǎn)1.statistics resulting from careful investigations show that there have been over5,000languages in the world, about two thirds of which have not had written form.2. of the two media of language,speech is more basic than writing.3.Phonetic 組成⑴Articulatory phonetics 發(fā)音語音學(xué)longest established, mostly developed⑵Auditory phonetics 聽覺語音學(xué)⑶Acoustic phonetics 聲學(xué)語音學(xué)6.Obstruction between the back of the tongue and the velar area results in the pronunciation of[k] and[g],the narrowing of space between the hard palate and the front of the tongue leads to the sound[j];the obstruction created between the tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge results in the sounds[t]and[d].三、問答題1.what are the three branches of phonetics? how do they contribute to the study of speech sound?Articulatory describes the way our speech organs work to produce the speech sounds and how they differ.Auditory- studies the physical properties of speech sounds, reaches the important conclusion that phonetic identity is only a theoretical ideal.Acoustic- studies the physical properties of speech sounds ,the way sound travel from the speaker to the hearer.2.how are the English consonants classified?By place of articulation and By manner of articulation3.how 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?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.5.what 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)分最小對立組在一種語言中非常重要?Minimal pair two sound combinations identical in every way except in one sound element that occurs in the same position.Minimal set a group of sound combinations with the above feature.By identifying the minimal pair or the minimal set of a language, a philologist can identify its phonemes.6.Explain with examples how broad transcription and narrow one transcription differ?Broad transcription one letter symbol for one sound.Narrow transcription diacritics are added to the one-letter symbols to show the finer differences between sounds.Chapter Three Morphology一、定義1.詞素MorphemeThe basic unit in the study of morphology and the smallest meaningful unit of language.6.曲折詞綴inflectional affixesThe manifestation of grammatical relationships through the addition of inflectional affixes, such as number, tense, degree and case.7.派生詞綴Derivational affixesThe manifestation of relation between stems and affixes through the addition of derivational affixes.Chapter Four Syntax一、定義.表層結(jié)構(gòu)S-structureA level of syntactic representation after the operation of necessary syntactic movement..深層結(jié)構(gòu)D-structureA level of syntactic representation before the operation of necessary syntactic movement.二、知識點(diǎn)2.我們把syntax的學(xué)習(xí)看作 a system of rules that govern the formation of grammatical sentence.3.A major goal of linguistics is to show with a consistent and explicit grammatical theory how syntactic rules account for this grammatical knowledge.12.短語類型Noun Phrase NPVerb Phrase VPPreposition Phrase PPAdjective Phrase APChapter 5 Semantics一、定義1.命名論The naming theoryThe 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.2.意念論The conceptualist viewIt holds that there is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to; rather ,in the interpretation of meaning they are linked through the mediation of concepts in the mind.3.語境論ConceptualismIt s based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. her are two kinds of context: the situational and the linguistic context.4.行為主義論BehaviorismIt refers to the attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer . this theory somewhat close to conceptualism emphasizes on the psychological response.5.意義SenseIt s concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form. It s the collection of all the features of the linguistic form, it s abstract and de-contextualized.6.所指意義ReferenceIt means what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world, it deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world of experience.7.同義詞SynonymyIt refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning or we can say that words are close in meaning are called synonyms.8.多義詞PolysemyIt refers to different words may have the same or similar meaning, the same one word may have more than one meaning.9.同音(形)異義HomonymyIt refers to the phenomenon that words have different meanings have the same form, i.e, different words are identical in sound or spelling, or in both.10.同音異義HomophonesIt refers to two words are identical in sound. e.g. rain/reign.11.同形異義HomographsIt refers to two words are identical in form .e.g. tear v./tear n.12.上下義關(guān)系HyponymyIt refers to the sense relation between a more general, more inclusive word and a more specific word. the word which is more general in meaning is called superordinate, and the more specific words are called its hyponyms.13.反義詞AntonymyIt s the term used for oppositeness of meaning on different dimension.二、知識點(diǎn)1.Major views of meaning study:The naming Theory-----希臘Scholar PlatoThe conceptualism-----觀點(diǎn)代表人是John Firth,但Bloomfield闡述更有說服力The Conceptualist view----Ogden和Richards用classic semantic triangle ofsignificanceThe Behaviorism-----英國Bloomfield提出，使用了Jack和 Jill故事闡明The naming theory的局限性:⑴It s only applicable to Nouns only.⑵Within the category of nouns, there are nouns which denote things that don t exist in the real world. sense2.Lexical meaning reference3.主要的意義關(guān)系 major sense relationsSynonymy ;Antonymy; Hyponymy; Polysemy; homonymySynonymy:(1)Dialectal synonyms synonyms used in different regional dialectsSynonyms(2)Stylistic synonyms---Synonyms differing in style 分類(3)Synonyms that different in their emotive or evaluative meaning(4)Semantically different synonyms (5)collocational synonyms5.Words having the same meaning may differ in style, or degree of formality.6. some synonyms differ in their collocation.例子: Accuse .of charge . with rebuke .for sour milkRotten tomatoes addled eggs rancid bacon or butter7. a polysemic word, i.e, a word with several meaning, is the result of the evolution of the primary meaning of the word. complete homonyms are often brought into being by coincidence.8.According naming theory words are just names or labels for things.9.Every utterance occurs in a particular spatiotemporal situation, the main components of which include, apart from the place and time of the utterance ,the speaker and the hearer, the action they are performing at the time, the various objects and event existed in the situation.10.the contextulist view was further strengthened by Bloomfield, who drew on behaviourist psychology when trying to define the meaning of linguistic forms.11 Homophones when two words are identical in soundRain/reign; night/knight; piece/peace; leak/leekHomonymy Homographs when two words are identical in spellingBow v. /bow n. tear v./ tear n lead v./lead n.Complete homonyms when two words are identical in both spelling and sound.例子Fast adj./ fast v. scale n./scale v.三、問答題1.how are sense and reference related?Sense refers to the inherent meaning of a linguistic form, which is the collection of all the features of the linguistic form, it s abstract and de-contextualized.Reference is what a linguistic form refers to in the real, physical world, it is a matter of relationship between the form and reality.2.in what way is componential analysis similar to the analysis of phonemes into distinctive features?成分分析和把音位分析為區(qū)別性特征有何相似之處？In the light of componential analysis, the meaning of a word consists of a number of distinctive meaning features, the analysis breaks down the meaning of the word into these features; it is these different features that distinguish word meaning similarly, a phoneme is considered as a collection of distinctive sound features, a phoneme can be broken down into these distinctive sound features and its these sound features that distinguish different sounds.3.what s grammaticality? what might take a grammatically meaningful sentence semantically meaningless?什么是語法性？一個語法上有意義的句子可能由于什么而不是有意義的?Grammaticality---the grammatical well-formedness of a sentence.A sentence may be well-formed grammatically, i.e. it conforms to the grammatical rules of the language, but it is not necessarily semantically well-formed, i.e. it may not make sense at allChapter 6 pragmatics一 、定義1.語境ContextThe notion of context is essential to the pragmatic study of language, it s generally considered as constituted by the knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer.2.言語行為理論Speech act theoryIt s an important theory in the pragmatic study of language. it s a philosophical explanation of the nature of linguistic communication. it aims to answer the question what do we do when using language?The concept of causatives performatives, the locutionary act, the illocutionary act, the perlocutionary act and the5categories of illocutionary act suggested and formulated by J.R.Searle constitute the speech act theory.10.合作原則Cooperative PrincipleIt s proposed and formulated by P.Grice, a pragmatic hypothesis, is about that the participants must first of all be willing to cooperate, otherwise, it would not be possible for them to carry on the talk.11.會話含義Conversational implicaturesAccording to P.Grice, it refers to the extra meaning not contained in th utterance, understandable to the listener only when he shares the speaker s knowledge or knows why and how he violates intentionally one of the four maxims of the CP.話語的言外之義是說話人通過故意違反某一準(zhǔn)則而獲得這種聽者能懂的暗含之意。二、知識點(diǎn)1.語用學(xué)的幾個重要的理論⑴言語行為理論Speech act theory由英國哲學(xué)家John Austin在20世紀(jì)50年代末提出在此理論基礎(chǔ)上John區(qū)分了定義了敘述句Constatives和行為句performatives在區(qū)分?jǐn)⑹鼍浜托袨榫渲?，他又定義了言內(nèi)行為、言外行為和言后行為例子：you have left the door wide open.Locutionary act:: expressed what each word of this sentence literally mean.Illutionary act: expressed his intention of speaking, asking someone to close the door.Perlocutionary act: someone heard the sentence, and close the door, then this act is successfully performed.※在這三種行為中，語言學(xué)家對言外行為最感興趣cos this kind of speech act is identical with the speaker s intention, and in their study of language communication, linguists are most interested in how a speaker expresses his intention and also how his intention is recognized by the hearer.⑵會話原則CP 邏輯哲學(xué)家Paul Grice提出;2. 合作原則的準(zhǔn)則4Maxim of Cooperative Principle數(shù)量 the maxim of Quantity----- Make your contribution as informative as required; Do not make your contribution more informative than is required質(zhì)量the maxim of Quality ----Do not say what you believe to false. Do not say for which you lack adequate evidence關(guān)系 the maxim of relation----- be relevant方式 the maxim of manner---- Avoid obscurity of expression and ambiguity; Be brief/be orderly.4.Semantics 和Pragmatics的區(qū)分Pragmatics studies how meaning is conveyed in the process of communication.The basic difference between them is that pragmatics considers meaning in context, traditional semantics studies meaning in isolation from the context of use.5.語境中聽者與說話者shared knowledge is of two types:The knowledge of the language they use, the knowledge about the world, including the general knowledge about the world and the specific knowledge about the situation in which linguistic communication is taking place.Chapter 7 Historical linguistics一、定義1. lexical and semantic changeGenerally there are mainly two possible ways of lexical change: the addition and loss of words,which often reflects the introduction of new objects and notions in social practices.? Addition of new wordsCoinage:a new word can be coined outright to fit some purpose,mostly for new things and objectsClipped words:clipping refers to the abbreviation of longer words or phrasesBlending :A process of forming a new word by combining parts of two other words.Acronym:A word created by combining the initials of a number of words.Back-formation:A process by which new words are formed by taking away he suffix of an existing word.Functional shift:words may shift from one part of speech to another without the addition of affixes,which is also called conversion.Borrowing :when different cultures come into contact ,words are often borrowed from one language to another .?Loss of words :one of the most common cause for the loss of lexical items is the discontinuation of the object they name.?Semantic changes:widening ,narrowing,shift in meaningSemantic broadening :The process in which the meaning of a word becomes more general or inclusive than its historical earlier denotation.縮小less general or inclusiveSemantic narrowing:on the other hand,semantic change has narrowed the meaning of some words which are still used in modern English.Semantic shift :It s a process of semantic change in which a word loses its former meaning and acquires a new, sometimes related meaning.二、知識點(diǎn)2.Language change is universal, continuous and, to a considerable degree, regular and systematic.5.one of the most obvious change in English is the systematic and regular change in the Vowel Change.8.the most wide-spread morphological change in the historical development of English are the loss and addition of affixes.10.in general, linguistic change in the sound system and the vocabulary of a language is more noticeable than that in other systems of the grammar.11.the ancient adjective agreement rule was dropped out of English mainly because the inflectional endings to show agreement in case, number and gender became distinct.13.Language change is essentially a matter of change in the Grammar.15.The most widely-spread morphological changes in the historical development of English are the loss and addition of affixes.※語義的變化Semantic Change 這一節(jié)非常重要32.It s comparative in the sense that it aims at developing and elucidating the genetic relationships that exist between and among langauges, classifying related languages into language families,and reconstructin their ancestral languages.what follows is a very brief account focusing on how historical linguists established genetic relationships of languages,and in particular,the Indo-Europeean language family.34.To identify and classify families of related languages in a genealogical family tree,and to reconstruct the protolanguage,the original form of a language family that has ceased to exist.35. A language family is established by the use of a method known as Comparative reconstruction.36.Reliable linguistic signs of family relationships include systematic phonological, morphological, and semantic resemblances among the vocabulary items of different languages.41.With the application of the comparative method,Persia,northern part of india were able to reconstruct the grammar of a single origin known as proto-Indo-European,from which a number of subfamilies of European and Indian subcontinental languages evloved.三、問答題1.characterized the nature of language changeAll living languages change with time.language change is not only universal and inevitable,but also systematic,extensive,on-going,and gradual.Language change is a rule-governed behavior,involving all components of the grammar.2. list the major causes of language changeSound assimilation,Rule simplification and internal borrowing⑴語音同化Sound assimilationAssimilative processes are phonological changes due to physiological mechanisms.it also involves vowel nasalization and morphological and lexical changes.⑵規(guī)則簡化Rule simplificationIt s a type of spontaneous morphological rule change involves exceptional plural forms of nouns.the same kind of analogic change is exemplified by the regularization of some borrowed words whose plural formation rule is different from the regular english.⑶內(nèi)部借用Internal BorrowingIt s motivated by the need to lessen the burden on memory is called internal borrowing.it represents a continual readjustment of a language s grammatical system as it develops from one state of equilibrium to another.⑷規(guī)則細(xì)化 ElaborationIt occurs when there is a need to reduce ambiguity and increase communicative clarity or expressiveness.⑸社會因素Social triggers⑹文化轉(zhuǎn)移Cultural transmission⑺兒童語法接近成人語法Children s approximation toward the adult grammar.A generally accepted view among language acquisition scholars is that children acquire their native language not through formal instrucation of grammatical rules, they often construct their personal information they hear.Chapter 8Sociolinguistics一、定義1.The relatedness between language and societyThere are many indications of the inter-relationship between language and society. One of them is that while language is principally used to communicate meaning. It is also used to establish and maintain social relationships. Another indication is that users of the same language in a sense all speak differently.2.Dialectal carietiesRegional dialect:is a linguistic variety used by people living in the same geographical region.Sociolect :A variety of language used by people belonging to a prticular social class.Language and genderLanguage and ageIdiolect=Personal dialect:A personal dialect of an individual speaker that combines aspects of all the elements regarding regional,social,and stylistic variation,in one form or another.Ethnic Dialect :It refers to a phenomenon that within a society speech variation may come about cos of different ethnic backgrounds.3.Register :the type of language which is selected as appropriate to the type of situation is a register.Halliday further distinguishes three social variables that determine the register:field of discourse,tenor of discourse and mode of discourse7.雙言現(xiàn)象DiglossiaA sociolinguistic situation in which two very different varieties of language co-exist in a speech community,each serving a particular social function and used for a particular situation.12.雙語BilingualismIt refers to a linguistic situation in which two standard languages are used either by an individual or by a group of speakers.21.語域變體Register Varieties=Situational DialectsRegisters are language varieties appropriate for use in particular speech situations,in contrast to language varieties that are associated with the social or regional grouping of their customary users.24. 社會語言學(xué)SociolinguisticsIt s the subdiscipline of linguistics that studies language with in socical context.二、知識點(diǎn)1.Sociolinguists are concerned with the social singificance of language variation and language use in different speech communities including regional,ethnic and social groups.2.In sociolinguistic studies,speakers are treated as memebers of social groups.3.Social groups may be defined in a number of ways besides regionally.it may distinguish itself from rest of the community by its distinct ethnic affiliation.20.Diglossia現(xiàn)象存在⑴mostly in Arabic-speaking counties,⑵Modern Greek,Swiss German and Haitian Creole.⑶in Paraguay,spanish as the high variety and local Indian language Guarani as the low variety.21.Bilingualism現(xiàn)象存在⑴Canada: English and French⑵Finland: Finnish and Swedish⑶Belgium: French and Flemish Dutch22.Most bilingual communities have one thing in common,that s a fairly clear functional differentiation of the two languages in respect of speech situation known as domains.23.An ethnic dialect is spoken mainly by a less priviledged population that has experienced form of social isolation,such as racial discrimination or segregation.24.The most widespread and most familiar ethnic variety of the english langauge is Black English.三、問答題1. how to distinguish a particular register from other registers?⑴distinctive words⑵using words or phrases in a particular way.⑶speical grammatical constructions,such as scientific language,or legal language.2. distinction between Bilingualism and Diglossia.Bilingualism refers to a linguistic situation in which two standard languages are used in a speech community;in a diglossic community,two varieties of language are used for different situations,one being more standard and higher,and used for more formal matters,the other less prestigious,used for colloquial situations.3. 黑人英語的特點(diǎn)⑴ one of the most prominent phonological features of black english is the simplification of a consonant cluster at the end of a word dropping the word-final phoneme.e.g. desk pronounced as/des/, told pronounced as /tou/;⑵one of the syntactic feature of black english is the absence of the copula,such as they mine , you crazy . Copula deletion as such occurs in some other english dialects,as well as in language like Arabic,Russian and chinese;⑶the double negation construction with sentence like I donot know nobody .黑人英語的disinctive feature persis not for racial,but for social,educationa and economic reasons.4.列舉女性言語和男性言語相異的方面List several ways of speech of women and men differ from each other.⑴Women tend to use more presigious forms,more polite and indirect language,and more specific color terms than their male counterparts.⑵Women use more questions than declarative statements than males.6.Why is syntax regarded as a system of rules?As a major component of grammar,syntax consists of a set of abstract rules that allow words to be combined with other words to form grammatical setences.A sentence is considered grammatical when it conforms to the grammatical knowledge in the mind of native speakers.if,on the other hand,a sentence violates a rule according to which words are organized,then native speakers will judge it to be an impossible sentence of that langauge.Universally found in the grammars of all human languages,syntactic rules comprise the system of internalized linguistic knowledge of a langauge speaker.For any natural language,it"s the set of rules that makes it possible for the speakers to produce,comprehend and memorize the vase number of sentences of their native languageChapter 12 language and the brain一、定義1.

The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis假設(shè)A theory put forward by the American anthropological linguists Sapir and Whorf which states that the way people view the world is determined wholly or partly by the structure of their native language.人們看世界的方式完全或部分地由他們母語的結(jié)構(gòu)決定，7.自我交際Interpersonal communicationThe process of using language within the individual to facilitate one s own thought and aid the formulation and manipulation of concepts.語言使用者本人用語言促進(jìn)自己的思維和幫助形成和使用概念的過程。8.無聲言語Subvocal SpeechA term used to refer to thought when thought and language are identical or closely parallel to each other.用于指語言和思維是同一或近乎相同的.9.神經(jīng)元NeuronsLying under the skull, the human brain contains an average of ten billion nerve cells called Neurons.10.腦半球HemispheresThe brain is divided into two roughly symmetrical halves, called hemisphere.11.Broca s area French Surgeon: Paul BrocaThe language centre in the frontal lobe in the left cerebral hemisphere is know as Broca s area.12.語言決定論Linguistic determinismWhorf proposed that all higher levels of thinking are dependent on language, or put it more bluntly, language determines thought, hence the strong notion of linguistic determinism.13.語言相對論Linguistic relativismIt refers to the belief that speakers of different languages perceive and experience the world differently, that is, relative to their linguistic background.It s hypothesis proposed by an American linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf concerning language and thought.二、知識點(diǎn)1.Three areas of the left hemisphere are vital to language:Broca s area. =ExpressionWernicke s area=UnderstandingAngular gyrus. =converting a visual stimulus into an auditory form, vice versa2.The human brain is the most complicated organ of the body.3.The most important part of the brain is the outside surface of the brain---Cerebral cortex.4.The Cortex is the decision-making organ of the body, receiving messages from all the sensory organs and initiating all voluntary actions6.The process of lateralization is believed to be maturational.7.Most individuals, the left hemisphere is dominant for language, regardless of handiness.8.Evidence in support of lateralization for language in left hemisphere comes from researches in Dichotic listening tasks.兩耳分聽證明了左半球的側(cè)化。9.Righ hear advantage shows the left hemisphere is not superior for processing all sounds, but only for those that are linguistic in nature, thus providing evidence in support of view that the left side of the brain is specialized for language and that"s where language centers reside.右耳優(yōu)勢證明了大腦左半球并不是處理所有聲音時都有優(yōu)勢，只是處理本質(zhì)上是語言的聲音時有優(yōu)勢：大腦左側(cè)負(fù)責(zé)語言，語言中樞就位于這一部分。12.Angular gyrus lies behind Wernicke s area.this area is crucial for the matching of a spoken form with a perceived object, for the naming of objects, for the comprehension of written language and require connections between visual and speech organs.13.When we listen,the word is heard and comprehended via Wernicke s area.14.The critical period hypothesis refers to a period in one s life extending from about two to puberty.17. 早期學(xué)者針對語言和思想的觀點(diǎn)⑴Plato suggested that thought was the soul s discourse with itself.柏拉圖認(rèn)為語言和思想相互統(tǒng)一的。⑵Aristotle, who argued that mankind could not have the same languages and that languages were but signs of psychological experiences.亞里士多德認(rèn)為語言只是人類體現(xiàn)的符號。The debate between them, one being mentalist, other empiricist.兩個人的觀點(diǎn)向背。一個是心靈主義，另一個是經(jīng)驗(yàn)主義。⑶Watson, thinking involved the same motor activities used in speaking, Bloomfield, thinking was a system of movements that had been reduced from actual speech to the point where they were no longer visible.美國的Watson承襲了Plato的觀點(diǎn)，Bloomfield提出了近似的觀點(diǎn)。21.Major functions of language⑴ a means of interpersonal communication.人際交流⑵ a means of intrapersonal communication.自我交流三、問答題1.in what cortical regions are speech and language thought to be localized?In what have come to be known as Broca s area, Wernicke s area and angular gyrus, all located in the left hemisphere of the brain.2.how In your opinion does language relate thought and culture?Language doesn t determine the way the speaker perceives the world, but largely functions as a means by which information can be stored and received, by which a culture transmits its belief, values and norms, and by which the speaker interacts other members of the cultures.3.Describe the processes of language perception, comprehension and production.It s been proposed that the brain activity involved in hearing, understanding and then saying a word would follow a definite pattern,when we listen, the word is heard and comprehended via Wernicke s area, this signal is then transferred to Broca s area where preparations are made to produce it. A signal is then sent to the motor area controlling the vocal tract to physically articulate the word.When we speak, words are drawn from Wernicke s area and sent to Broca s area which determines the details of their form and pronunciation. The appropriate instructions are then sent to the motor area.Chapter 10-11 Language Acquisition一、定義1. Language acquisitionLanguage acquisition refers to the development of the Child s acquisition of his mother tongue or first language, i.e, how he comes to understand and to speak the language of his community.3.行為主義學(xué)習(xí)理論Behaviourist learning theoryIt s a theory of Psychology suggests that the learner s verbal behaviour is conditioned or reinforced through association between a stimulus and response when applied to first language acquisition.4.interlanguage 中介語Proposed by S.Pit Corder and Larry Selinker ,the concept of interlanguage was established as learners independent system of the second language which is of neither the native language nor the second language,but a continuum of approximation from his mother language to the target language.The three important characteristics:systematicity,permeability,fossilization18.It s normally assumed that, by the age of five, with an opening vocabulary of more than 2.000 words, children have completed the greater part of the language acquisition process.20.three main different theories concerning how language is learnedA:the behaviorist traditional behaviorists view language as behavior and believe that language learning is simply a matter of imitation and habit formation.B:the innatist the linguist Noam Chomsky claims that human beings are bioligically programmed for language and that the language develops in the child just as other biological functions such as walking.C:the interactionist the interactionist view holds that language develops as a result of the complex interplay between thr human characteristics of the child and the environment in which the child develops三、問答題1. what are the major individual factors for SLA（第二語言習(xí)得）?The acquisition of a second language is dependent on a combination of factors.the rate and ultimate success in SLA are also affected by individual learner factors.(1)The early years of one s life before puberty;(2)They must have strong motivation, instrumental or integrative;(3)The extent to which learners differ in the process of adapting to the new culture of the L2 community, that is , acculturation.(4)Learner s personality.2.Different theories of child language acquisition have been advanced, discuss two contrasting views with reference to the behaviorist learning model and the inatist biological model.論述行為主義學(xué)習(xí)理論和生物先天論這兩種相對立的觀點(diǎn)。The Behaviourist view:language acquisition is a process of habit formation. Language is learned through stimulus and response. Reinforcement of selected responses is the key to understanding language development.Children learn to produce correct sentences because they are positively reinforced when they say something right and negatively reinforced when they say something wrong.語言習(xí)得是一個習(xí)慣培養(yǎng)的過程。語言是通過刺激與反應(yīng)學(xué)習(xí)的。對有選擇的反應(yīng)的強(qiáng)化是理解語言發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵。兒童學(xué)會正確的使用語言，是因?yàn)樗麄冋_的言語是得到積極強(qiáng)化而錯誤的言語得到消極強(qiáng)化。The inatist view:language acquisition is the species---specific property of human beings, children are born with an innate ability to acquire language ,they are predisposed to develop their native language along a universal, predetermined route through similar stages. They go about acquiring the grammar of their native language using principles unique to language acquisition.語言習(xí)得是人類特有的特性。兒童生來就具有天生的學(xué)習(xí)語言的能力，他們生來就具有習(xí)得本族語的能力，其習(xí)得過程沿著一條普遍、自然的軌道，并經(jīng)歷相似的階段。他們使用語言習(xí)得的特有天賦習(xí)得本族語的語法。3.Discuss one major factor which contributes to the difficulties most second language learners encounter.論述導(dǎo)致大多數(shù)第二語言學(xué)習(xí)者學(xué)習(xí)困難的一個主要因素。It has been suggested by some SLA scholars that learning difficulties confronting adultL2 learners arise from the fact that for most people a second language is learned in a formal setting, rather han acquired in a natural environment .Language acquisition is contrasted with language learning on the ground that acquisition is subconscious, focusing on meaning, which learning is conscious, focusing on form. Its argued that conscious knowledge of linguistic forms does not ensure acquisition of the rules, that is , does not ensure an immediate guidance for actual performance.習(xí)得是無意識的，注重的是意義；學(xué)習(xí)是由意識的，注重的是形式。4.Enumerate some causes that lead to the systematic occurrence of errors in second language acquisition.列舉第二語言習(xí)得中出現(xiàn)系統(tǒng)性錯誤的一些原因Some major causes that lead to the systematic occurrence of errors in second language acquisition include(1)Interference from the mother tongue;母語干擾(2)Interlingual interference within the target language;目標(biāo)語的語際語干擾(3)overgeneralization.過度概括具體分析Interference from the mother tongue:Mother tongue interference is found at the level of pronunciation, morphology, syntax, vocabulary and meaning, and can be predicated by contrasting the grammatical or other systems of the native and target languages.Interlingual interference:Interlingual interference，or cross-association, occurs when the learner mixes rules and patterns of the target language and produce hybrid structures.Overgeneralization：The use of previously available strategies in new situations, i.e. the application of a particular pattern or rule of the target language in many other linguistic situations課本外練習(xí)資料中的考點(diǎn)內(nèi)容一、定義7.深層結(jié)構(gòu)Deep structureIt s an abstract level representing the basis for the meaning of a sentence. it consists of a structure generated by phrase structure rules and contains lexical items from the lexcion, but no transformations have yet applied to it.12.人際交流Intrapersonal communicationIt refers to one of the two major functions that language serves. as a means of intrapersonal communication, language facilitates thinking, speech behavior and action for the individual.二、問答題1.why is the word order in Modern English more rigid than that in Old English?Because in Modern English there are no longer the elaborate morphological system used in Old English, such as the case marking system, to help to indicate grammatical relations. therefore, it is no longer possible to identify the functional roles of nouns by their inflectional endings.The functional notions of subject and object have to be indicated largely by the syntactic position of nouns in a linear order, resulting in a system with stricter constraints on word order.2.what features of language do you think should be included in a good, comprehensive definition of language?Language is a rule-governed system.Language is basically vocal.Language is arbitrary.Language is used for human communication.3.what s Broca s area and what will happen if any damage is inflicted upon it?⑴In 1861, a French surgeon and anatomist Paul Broca discovered that somewhere in the frontal lobe in the left cerebral hemisphere had something to do with speech difficulty. this place is known as Broca s area.⑵Any damage to sites in the left cerebral hemisphere will result in a patient s language disorder, whereas destruction of corresponding sites in the right hemisphere leave linguistic capacities intact.⑶Therefore if any damage is inflicted upon this area, it will result in word finding difficulties and problems with syntax.4.sate briefly your understanding of the differences between the term acquisition and the term learning in language acquisition study?⑴The distinction between acquisition and learning was proposed by the American SLA scholar Stephen Krashen on the assumption that they are different processes.⑵Acquisition refers to the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicative situations.⑶Learning is defined as a conscious process of accumulating knowledge of a second language usually obtained in school settings.⑷It s recognized that children acquired their native language without explicit learning, which a second language is more commonly learned but to some degree may also be acquired, depending on the environmental setting and the input received by the L2learner.⑸A rule can be learned before it is internalized(i.e. acquired),but having learned a rule does not necessarily preclude having to acquire it later.6.what is the nature of language change in historical linguistics?語言的本質(zhì)在歷史語言學(xué)中的含義？⑴language change is inevitable.⑵as a general rule, language change is universal, continuous,to a considerable degree, regular and systematic.⑶language change is extensive, taking place in virtually all aspects of the grammar in phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon and semantics.⑷when language change is in progress, phonemes, morphemes, words, and grammatical rules may be borrowed, added, lost, or altered, and meanwhile, the meaning of individual lexical items or strings of words may expand ,narrow,or shift.9.語言的兩種功能two functions of language?Two major functions are interpersonal and intrapersonal communication.人際交流和自我交流⑴ language functions as a means of interpersonal communication when language users use it to convey information, thoughts and feelings from one person to another or to control each other s behavior.⑵ it functions as a means of intrapersonal communication when it is used as a means of facilitate thinking, speech behavior and action for the individual.10.為什么說結(jié)構(gòu)樹形圖比線形圖可更好的說明句子的層次性？why do we say tree diagrams are more advantageous and informative than linear structure in analyzing the constituent relationship among linguistic elements?⑴in addition to revealing a linear order, a constituent structure tree has a hierarchical structure that groups words into structural constituents and shows the syntactic category of each structural constituent, and consequently is believed to most truthfully illustrate the constituent relationship among linguistic elements.⑵for example, the phrase the old men and women may have two interpretation. The adject old may modify the noun men ,or the women . or both. linear order analysis cannot tell this difference, so it s ambiguous. the constituent of tree diagrams analysis can make this difference clear.Chapter 9 language and culture1.what is culture?In a broad sense,means integrated pattern of human knowledge,belief,and behavior that is both a result of an integral to the human capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations.In a narrow sense ,culture may refer to local or specific practice,beliefs or customs.2.the relationship between language and culturesince the knowledge and beliefs that constitute a people s culture are imperceptibly encoded and transmitted in the language of people,it is extremely difficult to separate the two.on the one hand ,language as an intergral part of human being permeates his thinking and way of viewing the world.it both experesses and embodies cultural reality. On the other ,language,as a system of spoken or written symbols used by people in a shared culture to communicate with each other,reflects and affects a culture s way of thinking and helps perpetuate and change the culture and its influence,which also facillitates the development pof this language at the same time.3.the significance of culture teaching and learningLanguage as the keystone is tightly intertwined with culture. Learning a language is inseparable from learning its culture. We need to learn enough about the language"s culture so that we can communicate in the target language properly to achieve not only the linguistic competence but also the pragmatic or communicative competence as well. This is of great significance in learning a foreign or second language.4.interculture communicationAlso known as cross-cultural communication ,is communication between people whose cultural perceptions and symbols systems are distinct enough to alter the communication event.It is frequently used to refer to communication between people from different cultures ,which implies a comparison between cultures.As a newly-established discipline,intercultural communication makes multidisciplinary study of politeness across cultures in great detail. It helps to bridge the gap between both cultural and linguistic differences.As the world is becoming a global village ,its significance becoming more and more self-evident.
