An Introduction to Linguistics语言学导论 陈林华,Chapter One LinguisticsDefinitionLinguistics differs from other sciences in that it both uses languages as the tool and takes languages as its object to study.3.Philology Linguistics(语文学）（语言学）,In the mid of 19thF.De Saussure(the founder of general linguistics）,4.Linguistic study(1)diachronic study 历时性学习 Study the development of language in the course of time.研究语言在不同时期的特点。(2)synchronic study 共时性学习 Study linguistics at a particular point of time(given linguistic status or stage of a particular language)研究语言在同一时期的不同阶段。,linguistic study:primary synchronic study 研究语言难在：language is always changing people in the same speech community do not say the same language features of a language,cant be replaced quickly and completely.,5.Langue Parole langue 语言 parole 言语,a set of rules or conventionsan abstract linguistic systemin every speakers mindnot actually spokene.relatively stable,Actual spokenSpecific(concrete)situationalthe use of the rules or conventions,Parole is the realization of the langue,6.Language competence language performance LAD innate(capacity/intuitive to acquire language)experience Grammar(for a particular language)competence performance isnt innate,working like a machine,As.Material product,competence(Grammar)is equal to everybody ideal knowledge of language user performance isnt equal to everybody influenced by psychological and social factors.Performance is the realization of the knowledge Knowledge is the essence of the competence Behavior is the essence of the performance Communicative Competence-Hymes,7.prescriptivism&descriptivismPrescriptivism:,Set down a kind of form,admit one dialect or variety is more superior than another.Form grammar,pronunciation,lexicon.Regulate people how to actually use language.How things should be.Language police,Descriptivism:,Language is live,changing.If one of language is expressive,logical,then it is a good language.b)observer/recorder/of language how things actually be/what people actually say.,Chapter Two LanguageDefinition of language:a set of rules(eg.Syntactic rules),A well-organized system,of,arbitrary,vocal,symbols,Used for human communication,:there is no logical and intrinsic connection between objects and symbols.,:the sound,spoken language,most important medium.,:people use it to represent objects,ideas,opinions or actions.,:human specific(人类特有）,2.Design features of languageArbitrarinessProductivityDualityDisplacementCultural transmissionTransferabilityLinearityinterchangeability,3.Social functions of language Communicative means(the most important one)The means for conceptual thinking and recognition of the world.(3)The vehicle and transmitter of culture.language is cultural-dependant language mirrors culture,4.Functions of language in communication Phatic Directive function Informative function Expressive function Interrogative function Evocative function Performative function,Chapter Three Phonetics:sound of language,Definition of phonetics:The scientific study of speech sounds,which are used by all human languages or by a particular language to represent meanings.Branches:(1)articulatory phonetics(发音（声）语音学)：The study of the production of the sound.(2)accustic phonetics(声学语音学）：concerned with physical properties of these sounds.,(3)Auditory phonetics(听觉语音学）:concerned with the reception/perception of the hearer.3.International Phonetics Association(IPA)International Phonetics Alphabet(IPA)国际音标（1）nasalized 鼻音化 元音（2）velarized 软腭化（3）devoiced

vowels:/i:/i/e/ei/:/Tense vowels:/i:/u:/ei/ou/a:/:/:/Lax vowels:/i/u/e/,Chapter Four Phonology1.Definition:the science or the scientific study of the system and the patterns of the speech sounds of languages.2.Phonetics(语音学）：how the sounds produced,transmitted,received.3.Phonemes(音位）：speech sound segments that can distinguish or contrast words in sound and meaning are called phonems.,Phone:(音素）a phone is a phonetic unit or segment in the phonetically realization of a phoneme.ph 2 versions of one phoneme/p/Phones 2 realization of one phoneme p=The number of allophones(音位变体）is limited.Allophones:The different phones which represent or derive from one phoneme are called the allophones of that phoneme.,一个音位的不同变化形式 音位变体每一个可以读出的音叫做音素。一个音如果没有读出叫做音位。4.Phonetic representation 语音表达 phonemic representation 音位表达 Phonetic representation：of utterances shows what the speakers know about the pronunciation of utterances.Phonemic representation:of the utterances shows what the Speakers know about the abstract or underlying phonemic representation of words.,5.Minimal pair:when two different words are identical in every way except for one phoneme which occurs in the same place,they are said to form a minimal pair.6.Phonemic feature:（distinctive feature)区分特征 when two words are phonetically identical except for one feature,the phonetic differences is distinctive,as this difference alone can account for the meaning contrast.7.Free variations:the different pronunciations of one word are called free variations.,8.Complementary distribution:when two or more allophones of one phoneme never occur in the same linguistic environment,they are said to be in complementary distribution.9.Syllables(音节）:a syllable is the smallest structured sound unit made up of a rule-governed sequence of phonemes.peak 音节峰 peakSyllable onset 节前辅音 kn coda 音节尾 onset coda,/m/n/l/r/can be peak phonological rules:The rules that determine the occurrence of phonemes in particular language.distinctive feature:(phonemic feature)区分特征（音位特征）suprasegmental features:pitch 音调 falling tone(超切分的音位特征）intonation语调 rising tone（suprasegmental stress重音 fall-rise tone phonemes)length音长 rise-fall tone pause停顿 juncture音渡，连音,10.Phonological rule 音位规则(1)aspiration rule 吐气规则(2)Assimilation rule 同化规则(3)Devoicing rule 轻音化规则(4)Dentalization rule 齿音化规则(5)Nasalization rule 鼻音化规则(6)Homorganic nasal rule 同部位鼻音规则(7)Deletion rule 省略规则(8)Vowel schwa rule 非重读元音规则(9)Metathesis rule 移位规则（11）dissimilation rule(10)Epenthesis rule 插音规则 异化规则,11.Formalization of phonological rules to become in the environment of features-before-after a sound#word final/word initial,/p/+consonant+alveolar/k/-voiced/s/+fricative/t/+stop+consonantal-vocalic+sibilant-vocalic+voiced,Nasalization rule:a vowel is nasalized when it appears before a nasal.2.Aspiration rule:/p/k/t/appears at the beginning of a word and before a stressed vowel.3.Unaspiration rule:/p/k/t/appears after/s/and before a stressed vowel.4.Devoicing rule:nasals and liquids when occurring after voiceless consonants,may become devoiced.5.Dentalization rule6.Vowel schwa rule7.Deletion rule,Chapter Five Morphology1.word:is the smallest meaningful unit which can be used independently.(1)physically definable unit.(between two pauses)the common factor underlying a set of form a grammatical unit 词汇的语法单位 sentence clause phrase word morpheme,(2)Features of words stability relative uninterruptability minimal free form(3)Classification of words open class:whose membership is not limited,fixed,can be regularly expanded.Eg.Nouns,verbs,adjectives.closed class:they cant easily expand their new membership.eg.Conj,pron.Num,articles,Variable words:ordered and regular series of grammatical forms.Eg.study-studying-studied-studies Invariable words:those which have no inflective endings.eg.Seldom/always/often grammatical words(function words)虚词：express grammatical meanings.Eg.Conj,pron,prep lexial words(content words)实词：express lexical meanings.Eg.Nouns,verbs,adj.,adv.,(4)Word class new classes particles 小品词，助词 to-infinitive marker 不定式符号 not-negative marker 否定符号 subordinate:unit of a verbal phrase.Eg.Go on auxiliaries 助动词 will,do,have,had a)inversion form b)negative formAuxiliaries are different from verbEg.Will-will not verb dont,proform 代词形式，替代形式 pro-adjectives 代形容词，pro-verb,pro-adverb,pro-locative 代方位词 eg.My shoes is black,so is hers.He studies better than I do.He hopes the exam will be canceled,I hope so.The broom is there,in the corner.Proform:a word can take the place of certain words.,determiners 限定词 pre-determiners 前限定词：all,both,half,twice,3 times central-determiners 中限定词：a,the,this,that,these,those post-determiners 后限定词：ordinal numerals,序列词 general ordinals序数词.Determiners:refers to the words which can be used to modify the head noun of a noun phrase.,2.MorphologyDefinitionMorpheme:is the smallest meaningful linguistic unit.Morph:each of the phonetic forms or variants is a morph.allomorph 1.in complementary distribution features 2.have the same/common meaning 3.occur in parallel formation hold the same position,Types of morpheme Free morpheme(root)自由语素：usually carries the basical meaning,can stand by itself as a word.Bound morpheme(affix)黏着语素：it always be a part of a word.Root 词根 Free root morpheme:root that can be used freely,stand by itself.Bound root morpheme:can carry some meaning,but cant be used freely.,Free and bound root morpheme:can be used both.Affix:prefix infix suffixInflectional affix/morpheme:just show grammatical meaning.eg.Teachers learningDerivational affix/morpheme:is an affix which is used to form a derivative.eg.remarry,3.Word formationStem eg.Friendships root suffix stem distempered root suffix stemMonomorphenic 单语素中 stem=root eg:sang,stem is the part that is left after removed all the inflectional morphemes.root is the part which is left after all the affixes are removed inflectional affixes derivational affixes(2)Ways of word formationDerivation 派生法（衍生法）：is a way to add affixes to bases to form new words.prefix derivative 衍生词 infix eg.understand-understandable suffix happy-unhappy,Word class unchanged un-happy-unhappy dis-like-dislikeb)Word class changed verb-noun n-verb-er/-or/-ize/-fy compoundingCompounds made up of same category n+n-bookstore adj.+adj.-white-hot red-hot prep.+prep.-into within onto uponb)Compounds made up of different category,Part of speech of the compound falls to the 2nd element.eg.Scarecrow 稻草人 n.v.n.Part of speech of the compound falls to 1st element.eg.Brother-in law passer-by looker-onc)The grammatical relationship between the elements of a compound.1.coordinative 并列的 bookstore,deaf-mute,classroom 2.qualifier-head 偏正的 reading-room,snow-white 3.subject-predicate 主谓的 man-made,sunrise,spoon-feed 4.verb+object 动宾的 callgirl,playboy,d)Spelling of compounds 1.there is no space.Eg.Football 2.there is a hyphen.Eg.Snow-white 3.there is a space.Eg.Red-light district meaning of the compounds isnt the sum of the meaning of all the elements.Eg.red-meat 牛肉，羊肉 white-lie 善意的谎言 Red-cap 空宪兵 blue-stocking 清高女子 Blue-blood 贵族血统 white elephant 大而不实用东西 Jack Robinson 平常人,conversion:is the way in which we get new words by changing their parts of speech.abbreviation(shortening of clipping):is the way to make a word shortened or clipped.1.cut the final part.Eg.Photo-photograph 2.cut the initial part 3.cut both the initial and the final part eg.Influenza-flu refrigerator-fridge Back formation eg.To burgle(from burglar)to beg(from beggar)to edit(from editor)to laze(from lazy),sentence-condensation eg.Touch-me-not stay-at-home forget-me-not blending 1.initial part of 1st+final part of 2nd eg.Motel,smog,botle 2.initial part of two words eg.Digicom digital computer telex teleprinter exchanger onomatopoeia:is the way to form new words by imitating natural sounds.(imitation&root-creation),reduplication:refers to the formation of words by reduplicating or repeating sounds.eg.Humpty-dumpty 矮胖的 criss-cross 杂乱的 Acronymization 1.alphabetisms eg.UN 2.words pronounced as common words eg.Laser(lightwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation)11.Analogical form co-existence of regular and irregular form(for verbs),Chapter six syntax:structure of sentencesSyntax:is a part of the grammar of a language,dealing with the structures of sentences and the rules governing them.Paradigmatic rules:refers to the relationships that hold among sets of intersubstitutable linguistic elements at a particular place in s structure.Parts of speech/word class/form class a)words belong to the same parts of speech have some differences.b)one word can belong to different parts of speech.,(2)How to judge parts of speech a)accord to meaning b)distribution position in a sentence c)inflection(3)Grammatical category:grammatical meanings can be classified into different categories,called grammatical categories.In other words,a grammatical category is the classification of grammatical meanings.The commonly found grammatical categories are person,number,gender case,tense,aspect,voice,mood and so on.,Person the first person,the second person,the third person the distinction between the three persons may be made by appropriate subjective pronouns.2.Number singular+plural3.Gender masculine+feminine+neuter4.Case nominative 主格 which marks the subject of the sentence accusative 宾格 which marks the object of a transitive verb dative 与格which marks the indirect object ablative 离格 which marks the instrument with which sth is done,genitive 所有格 which marks the possession vocative 呼格 which is the case of addressEg.Madam,I wanted to get him the girls book with the card.vocative nominative dative genitive accusative ablativeHow to change case?Inflectional ending.Eg.teacher-teachersDistribution/position.Word order eg.John bite John.John bite Tom.3.According to the verb and preposition eg.Ill go with the boy.,5.Tense past present future6.Aspect perfect progressive non-progressive verb=stative verb eg.Know,hate,love,believe,have7.Voice active voice+passive voice passivization:a)the active subject passive agent b)the active object passive subject c)the prep.“by”is introduced before the agent,8.Mood imperative indicative subjunctive2.Syntagmatic rulesA sentence is formed according to phonological,morphological,syntactic and semantic rules.Phonological rules:used to form meaningful morphemes.Morphological rules:used to conjoin morphemes into words.Syntactic rules:used to form phrases,clauses and sentences.Semantic rules:applied to the making of meaningful sentences.,Combination of morphemes into words compounding,derivation,analogical form,abbreviation,back-formation,republication,onomatopoeia,blending,sentence-condensation,acronymization,conversionb)Basic pattern of combination of words subject-predicate 主谓 verb-object 动宾 verb-complem
