名词解释答案：
(1) Arbitrariness: The property of language that there is no logical or intrinsic connection between a linguistic form and its meaning. For example, the word “dog” has no natural or necessary link to the animal it represents.
(2) Morphology: The study of the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. It examines morphemes, which are the smallest meaningful units of language, and how they combine to create words.
(3) Speech act: An utterance that not only conveys meaning but also performs an action. For example, saying “I promise” is not just a statement but also an act of making a promise.

简答题答案：
(1) Prescriptive grammar aims to lay down rules for “correct” language use, often based on traditional norms. Descriptive grammar, on the other hand, describes how language is actually used by speakers, without making judgments about correctness.
(2) Semantic roles are the roles that participants play in a situation described by a sentence. For example, in “John ate an apple”, “John” has the agent role (the doer of the action) and “apple” has the patient role (the entity acted upon).
(3) The Cooperative Principle, proposed by Grice, includes maxims like Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. By following these maxims, speakers can convey information clearly and listeners can understand the intended meaning effectively, thus facilitating smooth communication.

分析题答案：从形态学角度看，材料中提到名词可分为不同类型，如普通名词和专有名词、可数名词和不可数名词，这体现了名词在词形变化和分类方面的特点。从句法角度，名词能充当主语、宾语或补足语，说明了名词在句子中的不同语法功能。

论述题答案：英语广泛影响的原因包括英国的殖民历史使其传播到众多地区；在国际商务、教育、娱乐等领域的重要地位；以及互联网等现代科技的推动。其影响既有积极的一面，如促进交流合作，但也带来挑战，如威胁一些小语种生存，导致语言多样性受到一定冲击。

案例分析题答案：孩子可能处于过度规则化阶段。原因可能是孩子通过模仿周围语言环境中的规则来学习语言，但尚未完全掌握不规则动词的特殊形式，所以按照一般动词过去式的规则加 -ed，出现了“goed”的错误。
