Chapter one Introduction
1.1什么是语言学
1.1.1定义
语言学Linguistics
Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.
1.1.2The scope of linguistics语言学分支 必考P2
普通语言学General Linguistics
The study of language as a whole is often called General linguistics.
The study of sounds, which are used in linguistic communication, is called phonetics.（语音学）
The study of how sounds are put together and used in communication is called phonology. （音位学）
The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words are called morphology. （形态学）
The study of how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences is called syntax（句法学）
The study of meaning in language is called semantics. （语义学）
The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics. （语用学）
1.1.3 Some important distinctions in linguistics 成对的概念辨析差异 必考P3
（1）Prescriptive and descriptive 规定与描写
If a linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use, it is said to be descriptive, if it aims to lay down rules to tell people what they should say and what they should not say, it is said to be prescriptive.
Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar. Traditional grammar is prescriptive while modern linguistics is descriptive. The task of linguists is supposed to describe the language people actually use, whether it is “correct” or not.
规定性Prescriptive
It aims to lay down rules for ”correct” behavior, to tell people what they should say and what should not say.
描述性Descriptive
A linguistic study describes and analyzes the language people actually use.
（2）Synchronic and diachronic 共时和历时
The description of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study; the description of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study. In modern linguistics, synchronic study is more important.
历时语言学Diachronic linguistics
The study of language change through time. a diachronic study of language is a historical study, which studies the historical development of language over a period of time.
共时语言学Synchronical linguistics
The study of a given language at a given time.
（3）Speech and writing 口头语与书面语
Speech and writing are the two major media of communication. Modern linguistics regards the spoken form of language as primary, but not the written form. Reasons are: 1. Speech precedes writing; 2. There are still many languages that have only the spoken form; 3. In terms of function, the spoken language is used for a wider range of purposes than the written, and carries a larger load of communication than the written.
（4）Langue and parole 语言和言语 必考名解P4
The Swiss linguist F. de Saussure made the distinction between langue and parole early 20th century.
Langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community, and parole refers to the realization of langue in actual use. Saussure made the distinction in order to single out one aspect of language for serious study. He believes what linguists should do is to abstract langue from parole, to discover the regularities governing the actual use of language and make them the subjects of study of linguistics.
语言langue （抽象）
The abstract linguistic system shared by all members of a speech community.
言语parole （具体）
The realization of langue in actual use.
（5）Competence and performance 语言能力和语言运用
Proposed by American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s.
He defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language, and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. He believes the task of the linguists is to discover and specify the language rules.
语言能力Competence （抽象）
Competence is the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language.
语言运用performance （具体）
Performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication.
语言运用是所掌握的规则在语言交际中的具体体现。
（6） Traditional grammar and modern linguistics 传统语法和现代语法
It is generally believed that the beginning of modern linguistics was marked by the publication of F·de Saussure’ s book “Course in General Linguistics” in the early 20th century. Before that is traditional grammar.
Differences between traditional grammar and modern linguistics:
Modern linguistics is descriptive while traditional grammar is prescriptive.
Modern linguistics regards the spoken language as primary, not the written.
Modern linguistics differs from traditional grammar also in that it does not force languages into a Latin-based framework.
(Modern linguistics is descriptive, its investigations are based on authentic and mainly spoken language date.现代语言学是描述性的，其研究以确实可靠的、主要以口语形式的资料为基础。
traditional grammar is prescriptive. it is based on’ high’ written language. 传统语法是规定性的，研究‘高级’书面语。 )
1.2什么是语言
1.2.1 定义
语言language：Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 语言是人类用来交际的任意性的有声符号体系。
1.2.2 Design features of language 必考P8
It refers to the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication.
语言识别特征是指人类语言区别与其他任何动物的交际体系的限定性特征。
Arbitrariness任意性
Productivity多产性 （创造性）
Duality双重性
Displacement移位性
Cultural transmission文化传递
⑴arbitrariness
There 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 expressions
⑵Productivity
Animals are quite limited in the messages they are able to send.
⑶Duality
Language is a system, which consists of two sets of structures ,or two levels.
⑷Displacement
Language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker.
⑸Cultural transmission
Human 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.
1.2.3 Functions of language 语言的功能
Descriptive function, expressive function, social function
Six elements of a speech event specified by Jakobson:
Addresser - Emotive 感情功能
Addressee - Conative 意动功能
Context - Referential 所指功能
Message - Poetic 诗歌功能
Contact - Phatic communion 寒暄功能
Code - Metalinguistic 无语言功能

Vowel and consonant元音辅音
Vowel
The 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.
Classification of English consonants

音素Phone
a phonetic unit or segment.
音位Phoneme
a collection of abstract sound features, a phonological unit.
音位变体Allophones
Different phones which can represent a phoneme in different environments are called the allophones of that phoneme.
2.3.4 explain the sequential rule and the assimilation rule .
序列规则Sequential rules
Rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular language.
同化规则Assimilation rules
The assimilation rule assimilates one sound to another by’ copying ’a feature of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones similar.

Chapter Three Morphology 形态学
3.2 Open class and closed class
Open class words 实词，词数可增加
Closed class words 虚词，词数稳定
3.3 Morphemes 词素
词素Morpheme
The basic unit in the study of morphology and the smallest meaningful unit of language.
自由词素Free Morpheme
Free morphemes are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselves.
黏着词素Bound morphemes
Bound morphemes are these morphemes that canot be used by themselves, must be combined with other morphemes to form words that can be used independently.
3.4
词根Root
Root is the base form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity.
词缀Affix
The collective term for the type of formative that can be used only when added to another morpheme.
3.5 Derivational morpheme & inflectional morpheme
派生Derivational morphemes: the morphemes which change the category or grammatical class of words
E.g. modern---modernize length---lengthen, fool---foolish, etc.
曲折Inflectional morphemes: the morphemes which are for the most part purely grammatical markers,signify such concepts as tense, number, case and so on; they never change their syntactic category, never add any lexical meaning,
E.g. a) Number: tables apples cars
b) Person, finiteness and aspect: talk/talks/talking/talked c) Case: John/John’s

Chapter Four Syntax 句法学
句法学Syntax: A branch of linguistics that studies how words are combined to form sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences.（句法学是研究词是如何组成句子以及如何支配句子构成规则的一个语言学分支）
Phrase categories and their structures短语分类与结构
Phrase categories----the syntactic units that are built around a certain word category are called phrase categories, such as noun phrase: NP (N), verb phrase: VP (V), adjective phrase: AP (A), and prepositional: PP (P).
The structure: specifier + head + complement
Head（中心语）---- the word around which a phrase is formed
Specifier（标志成分）---- the words on the left side of the heads
Complement（补足成分）---- the words on the right side of the heads
Phrase structure rules:
The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule, such as:
NP (Det限定词) + N + (PP)……e.g. those people, the fish on the plate, pretty girls.
VP (Qual修饰词) + V + (NP)……e.g. always play games, finish assignments.
AP (Deg程度词) + A + (PP)……very handsome, very pessimistic, familiar with, very close to PP (Deg) + P + (NP)……on the shelf, in the boat, quite near the station
S→NP VP (A sentence consists of, or is rewritten as, a noun phrase and a verb phrase) Do insertion: Insert interrogative do into an empty Infl position.
句法类型Syntactic category
A word or phrase that performs a particular grammatical function such as the subject or object.
表层结构S-structure
A level of syntactic representation after the operation of necessary syntactic movement.
深层结构D-structure
A level of syntactic representation before the operation of necessary syntactic movement.
普遍语法General grammar
A system of linguistic knowledge which consists of some general principles and parameters about nature language.
NP ’the student who likes linguistics’ consists of Det, N and S with Det being the Specifier ,N the head, S the complement. NP(…)有冠词、名词和子句组成，冠词是指示语，名词是核心词，子句是补足语。
4.6.5 Move α and constraints on transformations α位移和转换的限制 必考（定义和作用）
This general rule is referred to as Move α, where “alpha” is a cover term for any element that can be moved from one place to another.

Chapter 5 Semantics
语义学Semantics: the study of meaning from the linguistic point of view （对意义的研究）
同义词Synonymy
It refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning or we can say that words are close in meaning are called synonyms.
多义词Polysemy
It refers to different words may have the same or similar meaning, the same one word may have more than one meaning.
同音(形)异义Homonymy
It 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.
上下义关系Hyponymy
It 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.
反义词Antonymy
It’s the term used for oppositeness of meaning on different dimension.
预设Presupposition
It’s a semantic relationship or logical connection. A presupposes B.
蕴涵Entailment
Entailment can be illustrated by the following tow sentences in which sentence A entails sentence B.
A: Mark married a blonde heiress.
B: Mark married a blonde.
句子间的意义关系sense relation between sentences
X is synonymous with Y. 互为同义、同对错
X entails Y. 包含关系-X包含Y
X presupposes Y. 假设、推测 由X推测出Y
X is a contradiction. 矛盾句
X is semantically anomalous. 不等逻辑、错误逻辑

5.5.1 Componential analysis
语义成分分析Componential analysis
Componential analysis is a way proposed by the structure semanticists（结构语义学）to analyze word meaning. The approach is based upon the belief that the meaning of a world can be dissected into meaning components, called semantic features（语义特征）.
述谓分析 Predication analysis
A way to analyze sentence meaning.
主项（论元）argument+ （谓词）predicate
