But of all comparisons that might be imagined, the most fruitful is the one that might be drawn between the functioning of language and a game of chess. In both instances we are confronted with a system of values and their observable modifications. A game of chess is like an artificial realization of what language offers in a natural form.

Let us examine the matter more carefully.

First, a state of the set of chessmen corresponds closely to a state of language. The respective value of the pieces depends on their position on the chessboard just as each linguistic term derives its value from its opposition to all the other terms.

In the second place, the system is always momentary; it varies from one position to the next. It is also true that values depend above all else on an unchangeable conviction, the set of rules that exists before a game begins and persists after each move. Rules that are agreed upon once and for all exist in language too; they are the constant principles of semiology.

Finally, to pass from one state of equilibrium to the next, or—according to our terminology —from one synchrony to the next, only one chesspiece has to be moved; there is no general rummage. Here we have the counterpart of the diachronic phenomenon with all its peculiarities. In fact:

(a)In each play only one chesspiece is move; in the same way in language, change affect

only isolated elements.

(b)In spite of that, the move has a repercussion on the whole system; it is impossible for the

player for foreseeing exactly the extent of the effect. Resulting changes of value will be, according to the circumstance, either nil, very serious, or of average importance. A certain move can revolutionise the whole game and even affect pieces that are not immediately involved. We have just seen that exactly the same holds for language.

(c)In chess, each move is absolutely distinct from the preceding and the subsequent

equilibrium. The change effected belongs to neither state: only states matter.

In a game of chess any particular position has the unique characteristics of being freed from all antecedent positions; the route used to arrive there makes absolutely no difference; one who has followed the entire match has no advantage over the curious party who comes up at a critical moment to inspect the state of the game; to describe this arrangement, it is perfectly useless to recall what had just happened ten seconds previously. All this is equally applicable to language and sharpens the radical distinction between diachrony and synchrony. Speaking operates only on

a language state, and the changes that intervene between states have no place in either state.

—Ferdinand de Saussure, Course in General Linguistics

VII. 论述题

1.How does linguistics differ from traditional grammar?

[Linguistics differs from traditional grammar at least in three basic ways.

First, linguistics describes languages and does not lay down rules of correctness. Linguists are interested in what is said, not what they think ought to be said. So they are often said to be descriptive, not prescriptive.

A second important way in which linguistics differs from traditional grammar is that linguists

regard the spoken language as primary, not the written. It is believed that speech came into being first for any human language and the writing system came along much later.

Thirdly, traditional grammar is based on Latin and it tries to impose the Latin categories and structures on other languages, while linguistics describes each language on its own merits. ] 2.Distinguish between syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations.

[Saussure has put forward the pair of concepts: syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The

former refers to the horizontal relationship between linguistic elements, which form linear sequences. The later means the vertical relationship between forms, which might occupy the same particular place in s structure. Syntagmatic relations are actually positional relations, that is, the sequential arrangement of smaller linguistic forms into larger linguistic forms, e.g., the arrangement of words and phrases into sentences. In words and phrases do not occur in a recognizable order with respect to each other, a sentence will be ungrammatical. Whereas, paradigmatic relations are relations of substitution, that is, linguistic forms (e.g. letters, words and phrases) can be substituted for each other in the same position in a word or sentence.]

应用语言学概论(于根元)课后练习及答案(DOC)

应用语言学概论课后练习及答案第一章： 1、举例说明为什么有了本体语言学还要有应用语言学。答：因为本体语言学和应用语言学两者之间不具有可比性。一方面，语言基本上是社会现象而不是自然现象，语言的发展和使用受到多种因素的影响，语言的应用有自身的规律，无论是语言应用的哪个方面。另一方面，人们已经而且将会进一步看到，仅从语言自身看语言是不能完全认识语言的。语言的应用研究不仅有利于语言应用本身，而且也有利于加深对语言本身的认识。因此，没有语言的运用，就没有语言。要全面认识语言，真正认识语言，必须结合语言的应用来进行。例如，为什么一个人在不同的场合会使用不同的表达方式？为什么明明是两个不同的音有人却听成相同的音？为什么同样的词语会产生不同的交际效果？离开了语言的运用，单从语言本身是无法回答这些问题的。因此，有了本体语言学还要有应用语言学。 2、历史比较语言学让位于结构主义语言学的两个历史教训是什么？答：历史比较语言学让位于结构主义语言学的一个历史教训是：历史比较语言学家的唯我独尊和封闭的态度。认为只有研究语言历史的语言学才是科学，其他的研究都不是科学。第二个教训是：研究的局限性。它只注意古语言，并不研究现有的活语言。因此，它在经历了光辉的百年之后，逐渐被新的研究兴趣所替代。 3、说说《普通语言学教程》的作者、出版时间和历史地位。

答：《普通语言学教程》的作者是瑞士语言学家索绪尔，出版时间是1916年，历史地位：书中针对历史比较语言学的不足提出的语言学理论，奠定了现代语言学的基础，因此成为现代语言学的“圣经”。 4、说说《马氏文通》的作者、出版时间和历史地位。答：《马氏文通》的作者是马建忠，出版时间是1898年，历史地位：是中国形成独立的语言学学科的标志。 5、说说中国形成语言学的背景。答：中国形成语言学是在19世纪和20世纪之交，有两个背景：一是受西方学术文化的影响，一是中国传统语文学自身的发展。当时语言学方面中国向外国所学的理论、方法及层次是比较低的；学习的方法、层次也是比较低的。学习外国最重要的成果是马建忠将西文中的规矩同汉语典籍比较，写成的语法书《马氏文通》，该书成为中国形成独立的语言学学科的标志。而19世纪和20世纪之交，中国的传统语文学进入语言学阶段，主要是我国传统语文学自身发展的结果。当时甲骨不断被发现，对甲骨文的研究取得了很大进展，孙诒让、罗振玉、王国维等人都做出了贡献，后来唐兰、于省吾等人还在理论研究方面取得了突破。正是这些大量的材料动摇了传统汉语文字学受许慎《说文解字》笼罩的局面、以文字个体分析对象偏重考古的研究方法、作为经学附庸明经致用的研究目的，呼吁建立科学的理论体系，加上受西方学术文化的影响，我国传统语文学终于进入了语言学。 6、中国20世纪的应用语言学变化的总线索是什么？答：中国20世纪的应用语言学变化的总线索是：应用语言学同本体语言学苦苦地探求高层次的结合，在探求的路上摇摇摆摆地前进。
