三、复习内容
Introduction 部分
Lexicology 这门课算哪一种学科的分支: Lexicology is a branch of linguistics.
Lexicology和那些重要的学科建立了联系: 1)Morphology 2) Semantics 3) Stylistics 4) Etymology 5) Lexicography
研究lexicology 的两大方法:
1) Diachronic approach : 历时语言学
2) Synchronic approach : 共时语言学
e.g. wife 纵观历时语言学的方法论，woman 词义的变化算是词义变化的哪一种模式？Woman 的词义的变化是Narrowing or specialization
第一章 词的概述；
1． 识记：词的定义
2． 声音与意义
识记：声音与意义的关系
3． 声音与拼写
识记：读音与拼写不一致的原因
4． 词汇
识记词汇的含义
5． 词汇的分类
识记：词汇的分类原则；基本词汇的特点；四类外来语词的特点。
领会：基本词汇及本族语词在英语中的地位和重要性
What is word ?
词具有哪些特点？
词的特点也就是对词的名词解释。
1) A word is a minimal free form of a language;
2) A sound unity or a given sound ;
3) a unit of meaning;
4) a form that can function alone in a sentence.
以上词的四个特点也就是词的名词解释
词的分类（classification of a word）
词根据发音可以分为哪两种词？或者说词根据拼写可以分为哪两类词？
1) simple words 2) complex words
单音节词例子：
e.g. Man and fine are simple
多音节词例子：
e.g. Management, misfortune, blackmail
management 可以次划分为manage 和 -ment
misfortune 可以次划分为mis- 和 fortune
blackmail 次划分为black 和 mail
What is the relationship between sound and meaning?
1)There is ‘no logical relationship between the sound and actual thing.e.g. dog. cat
2)The relationship between them is conventional.
3) In different languages the same concept can be represented by different sounds.
What is relationship between sound and form?
1)The written form of a natural language is the written record of the oral form. Naturally the written form should agree with the oral form, such as English language.
2)This is fairly true of English in its earliest stage i.e. Old English
3)With the development of the language, more and more differences occur between the two.
What are the great changes that causes illogical relationship or irregularity between sound and form?
1) The internal reason for this is that the English alphabet was adopted from the Romans, which does not have a separate letter to represent each sound in the language so that some letters must do double duty or work together in combination.
2) Another reason is that the pronunciation has changed more rapidly than spelling over the years, and in some cases the two have drawn far apart.
3) A third reason is that some of the differences were created by the early scribes.
4) Finally comes the borrowing, which is an important channel of enriching the English vocabulary.
要记住以上四句话中的关键词：
1) influenced by Romans
2) Pronunciation changed
3) early scribes
4) borrowing
你能不能举出外来语对英语发音,拼写造成不一致的例子有哪些？
e.g. stimulus (L) ,fiesta (Sp) ,eureka (Gr), kimono (Jap)
外来语对英语造成的最大的影响就是‘sound and form ’不一致。
What is vocabulary?
Vocabulary refers to the total number of the words in a language, but
it can stand for all the words used in a particular historical period.
Vocabulary also refers to all the words of a given dialect, given book,
a given discipline and the words possessed by an individual person.
Classification of Words (本课的一个重点)
What is the classification of words? How to classify words in linguistics?
Three criteria :
1) By use of frequency 2) By notion 3) By origin
By use of frequency 可划分为：
1) The basic word stock 2) Nonbasic word vocabulary
By notion 可划分为：1）Content word 2) Functional word
Content words are also known as notional words . (Content words 的别称)
Functional words are also known as empty words, or form words. ( Functional words 的别称)
Functional words possesses a characteristic of basic word stock, i.e. stability
According to Stuart Robertson ,et al (1957),* the nine functional words , namely ,and , be , have , it , of , the , to , will ,you
What are the characteristics of basic word stock?
1) All national character
2) Stability
3) Productivity
4) Polysemy
5) Collocability
要把握住‘All national character’的词,就是和我们日常生活息息相关的，最普通的词稳定性是基本词的一个很大特点，请你举例说明？
e.g. man, woman , fire, water …
e.g. machine, video, telephone …
e.g. bow, chariot , knight
Stability is relative, not absolute.
根据词的use frequency 划分出的基本词之外，还有一类词叫作None basic vocabulary, 非基本词有几大特点？或者是几大分类？
1) Terminology e.g. sonata, algebra
2) Jargon e.g. Bottom line ( Jargon )
3) Slang e.g. smoky, bear ( Slang )
4) Argot e.g. persuader
5) Dialectal words e.g. station ( AusE = ranch ) bluid ( ScotE= blood)
6) Archaisms e.g. wilt (will)
7) Neologisms e.g. email ( Neologisms )
beaver 是girl 的slang 表达方式，但是二者之间存在着Stylistic difference
Which constitutes the larger number among English vocabulary, content
words or functional words ?
Answer : Content words
What is native words?
Answer : (1) By origin, English words can be classified into native
words and borrowed words.
(2) Native words are words brought to Britain in the fifth century by
the German tribes: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, thus know as
Anglo-Saxon words.
(3) Words of Anglo-Saxon origin are small in number ,amounting to roughly 50,000 to 60,000, but they form the mainstream of the basic word stock and stand at the core of the language
什么叫borrowed words? Answer: (1) words taken over from foreign languages are know as borrowed words or loan words or borrowings in simple terms.
(2) It is estimated that English borrowings constitute 80 percent of the modern English vocabulary
(3) The English language has vast debts .In any dictionary some 80% of the entries are borrowed.
什么叫Denizens?
Denizens are words borrowed early in the past and now are well assimilated into the English language. In other words they have come to conform to the English way of pronunciation and spelling, such as port from portus (L).
‘Denizens’的例子都要记：Port from portus (L), cup from cuppa (L),
shift from skipta (ON), shirt from skyrta (ON), change from changier
(F), pork from porc (F).
什么叫Translation-loans ?
Translation-loans are words and expressions formed form the existing material in the English language but modeled on the patterns taken from another language, such as ‘ long time no see from haojiumeijian (Ch)
什么叫Semantic-loans ?
words of this category are not borrowed with reference to the form ,But their meaning are borrowed , in other words, English has borrowed a new meaning for an existing word in the language ,such as the word dream ,which originally meant ’joy’ and ‘music ’, and its modern meaning was borrowed later from the Norse.

The development of the English vocabulary
The Indo-European Language Family
It is assumed that the world has approximately 3,000(some put it 5,000)languages ,which can be grouped into roughly 300 language families on the basis of similarities in their basic word stock and grammar . (重点：语系划分的标准）
What is the criteria to divide language families ?
The answer : 1. the basis of similarities in their basic word stock 2. grammar
(重点)The Balto-Slavic comprises such modern languages as(选择题内容：)
Prussian, Lithuanian , Polish ,Czech, Bulgarian ,Slovenian and Russian.
‘Indo-European’ 两大分支：
1.Eastern set
2.Western set
Eastern set: Balto-Slavic, Indo-Iranian, Armenian and Albanian
Western set : Celtic, Italic , Hellenic, Germanic.
In the western Set, Greek is the modern language derived from Hellenic.
Celtic ：Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Breton
The five Romance languages, namely ,Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian , Roumanian all belong to the Italic.The Germanic family consists of the four Northern European Languages:
Norwegian ,Icelandic, Danish and Swedish ,which are generally known as Scandinavian languages. Then there is German, Dutch ,Flemish and English. With Vikings’ invasion, many Scandinavian words came into the English language.
It is estimated that at least 900 words of Scandinavian origin have survived in modern English.
Old English has a vocabulary of about 50,000 to 60,000 words. It was a highly inflected language just like modern German.
重点句: Modern English began with the establishment of printing in England
古英语最大的模糊性的概念来自于 (scripts )

3)The influence of other cultures and language
Modes of Vocabulary Development
1)creation 2) semantic change 3) borrowing
2)Semantic change （还包括外来词的Semantic loans ）
Elevation, degradation, extension, narrowing, transfer
外来词可以被称作borrowed words , 因此又可以被称作 .
重点句：borrowed words are also known as loaned words .
恢复古英语的用词是美国英语的一大特色

运用：运用本章所学的知识分析英语词的结构。
The smallest unit in the English language refers to (morphemes)
The minimal free form in the English language refers to (word)
In the plural form changing, some of the words will take internal vowel change , this internal vowel change is called (allomorphs)
Deer 复数没有变,还是deer, sheep 复数没有变,还是sheep, 因此,这种变化被称作(zero derivation)
名词解释:
Morphemes : The minimal meaningful units in a language are known as morphemes.
In other words, the morphemes is ’the smallest functioning unit in composition of words Allomorphs : The alternative morphs are known as allomorphs,
e.g.the morpheme of plurality {-s} has a number of allomorphs in different sound context, e.g. in cats in bags, matches It can be realized by the change of an internal vowel as in foot-feet, man-men, goose-geese or by zero morphs as in deer-deer, fish-fish
简答题： what are the types of morphemes ? ( 答简答题时,名词解释)
答案：Free morphemes and bound morphemes
Free morphemes :
1) Free morphemes are independent of other morphemes and are considered to be free.
2) These morphemes have complete meanings in themselves and can be used as free grammatical units in sentences.
3) They are identical with root words, as each of them consists of a single free root words ,as each of them consists of a single free root
4) free morphemes are free roots.
bound morphemes:
1) Morphemes which cannot occur as separate words are bound..
2) They are bound to other morphemes to form words.
3) Bound morphemes include two types: bound root and affix
affix 分为两类: inflectional and derivational affixes.
Inflectional affixes : Affixes attached to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional, thus known as inflectional morphemes.
Derivational affixes: 1)derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create now words.
2) Derivational affixes can be further divided into prefixes and suffixes.
root : 1) a root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity.
2) the root, whether free or bound, generally carries the main component of meaning in a word
3) a ’root is that part of a wordform that remains when all inflectional and derivational affixes have been removed’
stem : 1) a stem may consist of a single root morpheme as in iron or of two root morphemes as in a compound like handcuff.
2) It can be a root morpheme plus one or more affixational morphemes as in mouthful, underestimate.
3) Therefore, a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can be added.
问题：Stem 和 root 有一个最大的区别在哪里? (答案： a stem can be defined as a form to which affixes of any kind can be added.
问题：请加以区别下面两个词的特征: nation , dict 请加以理论的分析?
Both nation and dict belong to roots, nation is free root, which can function alone in a sentence,
Nation as a free root, has complete meaning, when both prefixes and suffixes attached to it are removed, nation as a free root, still remains
Dict is a bound root, which can not function alone grammatically , dict carries the fundamental meani
