英语教学大纲对词汇量的要求

英语教学大纲对词汇量的要求 2000年版《九年义务教育全日制初级中学英语教学大纲（实验修订版）》对词汇量的要求是800个，另外要求400-500个认读词汇，合计1200-1300词。 2000年版《全日制高级中学英语教学大纲（实验修订版）》对词汇量的要求是1200个，另外要求750个认读词汇，合计1950词。根据大学英语教学大纲项目组1996-1997年对大学新生词汇量的调查，重点大学新生的词汇量约1800-2200，边远民族地区学校新生的词汇量约1400-1600。据此，新修订的《大学英语教学大纲》把词汇量的起点定为：一级1800词，预备级1200词；四级应达到的词汇量累计4200词，六级应达到的词汇量累计5500词，六级后应达到的词汇量累计6500词。国内英语教学大纲对词汇量的要求自20世纪初，清政府实行“新政”，设立新学堂，英语教学就进入了中学课程。1911年民国成立后，中学英语教学得到了发展，并逐步颁布了相应的课程标准。解放后为规范中学英语教学，教育部制订了相应的课程或大纲。这些英语教学标准或大纲中对词汇量的要求随着时间的推移

和各种各样的原因也不断在变化。这些数字上的变化详见下面的几个表。解放前大学中没有现在的这种大学英语（原称公共英语）性质的课程。故表二无解放前大学英语教学大纲的要求。表一: 中学教学大纲对词汇量的要求

表二: 大学英语教学大纲对词汇量的要求

表三: 中国英语专业教学大纲词汇量的要求

国外和港台地区对词汇量的研究或要求对于英语本族语使用者究竟需要多大的词汇量，至今人们也无法给出一个确切的数字。有学者认为如果阅读一般题材的读物和报刊需要30000词，但这不包括专业技术杂志，如果要包括专业技术杂志则所需词汇量要大得多（Allen，1983）。 Goulden认为英语为母语的20岁的大学生的词汇量为20000词族（word families），如果以每个词族平均有三个派生词，则其词汇量为60000词。5岁上学的儿童的词汇量为4000-5000词族，即约词，并以每年1000词族增加（Read, 2000）。也有研究表明，美国中学毕业生的词汇量平均为47000词，而大学生大约认识58000词（章扬恕，1990）。由此我们可以基本认定，作为有文化的英语本族语者，其词汇量大约为60000词。而一般英语本族语使用者在日常生活和工作中的词汇量显然不会需要这么大。根据统计，英美人在表达时大约使用3000-10000词。Thorndike编写的Te acher’s Word Book收词20000词，分为20级，每级1,000词（章扬恕，1990）。那么对于以英语为外语或第二语言的学习者来说，应掌握多少英语单词才是合适的呢对此国外的语言教育学家也做了大量的研究。West编写的A General Service List of English Words 收录核心词2000词，如果加上其中的派生词则达到约6000词。

论述题一、一般词汇与基本词汇的关系基本词汇和一般词汇都有各自特点，因此，它们是语言词汇中两个完全不同的部分。但是，基本词汇和一般词汇又有非常密切的联系，它们相互依存，共同发展，都是语言词汇中不可缺少的部分。第一，基本词汇是语言的基础，它也是一般词汇形成的基础，一般词汇中的大多数词都是在基本词汇基础上形成的。第二，一般词汇反映社会的发展是非常敏感的，它几乎经常存在不吨的变动之中，因此，语言词汇中的新成分往往首先出现在一般词汇中，然后个别成分再进入基本词汇中，促成基本词汇的发展。从这一角度讲，一般词汇又可以充当基本词汇发展的源泉。第三，基本词汇和一般词汇中的个别成分又是可以互相转换，在词汇发展的过程中，随着社会交际需要的改变，某些基本词转化成一般词，而某些一般词也能转化为基本词汇，如过去的基本词“鬼、窝窝头”等，现在已成了一般词，又如过去的一般词“党”，现在已经由一般词转化成基本词，成为“共产党”的简称。总之，基本词汇和一般词汇就是在这样相互依存不断转化的关系中间共同发展和丰富起来。它们的发展又形成整个词汇的形成。二、词义发展的概况 1、新词的增加。语言是随着社会的发展而发展的，在这发展过程当中，词汇又是最敏感的部分，因此，社会上的一切都会在词汇中有所反映，这就促成了语言中新词的不断增加。 2、双音词的增多。随着汉语的发展，词汇中的双音词逐渐增多起来，由单音向双音发展，是汉语词汇发展的一种必然现象。因为随着社会的发展，交际的需求越来越纷繁复杂，需要表示的事物越来越多，有限的单音节形式就必然造成语言中同音词的大量出现。因而给人们的交际带来许多不便，汉语词的双音化就此发展起来。 3、实词虚化现象的发展。主要表现在两个方面：一方面是由实词类变为虚词类，如“因”原为 “原因”，而后发展为“因为”，充当连词使用；另一方面，是由可以充当词根词素的实词虚化成了附加词素，如“了”原为“了结”虚化成了“好了”。“了结”是实词，后来虚化成了词尾词素，读为“le”附在动词后面，表示完成体的语法意义，如“看了”、“做了”。 4、造词和构词方面的发展。汉语造词和构词的情况发展到今天已有了很大的变化，不但造词方法已多样化，而且构词的方式也更加丰富和精密了。如新词语的创制、汉语的造词法和构词法也是不断丰富和发展的。 5、同义词、多义词和抽象词语的发展。同义词组的不断出现，多义词和抽象词语的不断增多，都是人们认识能力发展的结果，同时，这些现象也标志着语言极大词汇的丰富和完善。其中汉语词汇中很早就存在着同义词现象，多义词的发展是语言词汇发展的必然趋势之一。抽象词语的发展不但取决于人们认识的发展，而且和社会科学文化的发展也分不开。 6、词义的发展。词义的发展是词汇发展的一个重要方面。词义的发展可以从很多方面促成整个词汇系统的变化和发展。 7、旧要素的消亡。词汇的发展和变化不但表现为新要素的不断发展和增加，同时也表现在旧要素的消亡。一般表现为旧词的消亡、义项的消亡和词素的消亡。汉语词汇的发展纷繁复杂，我们在认识和分析词汇的发展时，不能只看由简趋繁的一面，也应同时注意由繁趋简的发展现象。只有这样，才能更好的认识、更正确的理解词汇的发展。三、词汇的系统性(P13) 1、词的结构的系统性。词的结构由共性，这个共性可以概括为类型，如并列、表述、偏正、支配等等。每一类型都联系一大批词。绝大多数词都可以归入少数几个结构类型中。由此可以看出，词杂I结构上是很有规则地联系在一起的，表现出词的组织结构的系统性。 2、词义关系的系统性。一般认为，从词的意义关系来说，词可以构成层次关系词群和非层次关系词群。层次关系有上下位关系（如：植物—树木—柳树）、整体部分关系（如：手—手掌 —手心）、亲属关系（如：祖父—父亲—儿子）、等级关系（如：军长—师长—团长）等。非层次关系词群的成员一般都是同位关系，同位关系中词义叠合或大部分叠合的词就是同义

高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲(DOC)

高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲为了规范全国高等学校英语专业的英语教学，特制订本教学大纲。本大纲所作的各项规定，对全国各类高等学校的英语专业均有指导作用，也是组织教学、编写教材和检查与评估教学质量的依据。一、培养目标高等学校英语专业培养具有扎实的英语语言基础和广博的文化知识并能熟练地运用英语在外事、教育、经贸、文化、科技、军事等部门从事翻译、教学、管理、研究等工作的复合型英语人才。 21世纪是一个国际化的知识经济时代。我们所面临的挑战决定了21世纪我国高等学校英语专业人才的培养目标和规格：这些人才应具有扎实的基本功、宽广的知识面、一定的相关专业知识、较强的能力和较高的素质。也就是要在打好扎实的英语语言基本功和牢固掌握英语专业知识的前提下，拓宽人文学科知识和科技知识，掌握与毕业后所从事的工作有关的专业基础知识，注重培养获取知识的能力、独立思考的能力的创新的能力，提高思想道德素质、文化素质和心理素质。二、课程设置英语本科专业学制为4年。根据英语专业教学规律，一般将4年的教学过程分为两个阶段，即：基础阶段（一年级和二年级）和高年级阶段（三年级和四年级）。基础阶段的主要教学任务是传授英语基础知识，对学生进行全面的、严格的基本技能训练，培养学生实际运用语言的能力、良好的学风和正确的学习方法，为进入高年级打下扎实的专业基础。高年级阶段的主要教学任务是继续打好语言基本功，学习英语专业知识和相关心业知识，进一步扩大知识面，增强对文化差异的敏感性，提高综合运用英语进行交际的能力。在两个教学阶段中课程的安排可以有所侧重，但应将4年的教学过程视为一个整体，自始至终注意打好英语语言基本功。英语专业课程分为英语专业技能、英语专业知识和相关专业知识三种类型，一般均应以英语为教学语言。三种类型的课程如下：（1）英语专业技能课程：指综合训练课程和各种英语技能的单项训练课程，如：基础英语、听力、口语、阅读、写作、口译、笔译等课程。（2）英语专业知识课程：指英语语言、文学、文化方面的课程，如：英语语言学、英语词汇学、英语语法学、英语

英语词汇学笔记--名词解释篇

英语词汇学笔记之“名词解释篇” 2010.1.11济南1.Word --- A word is a minimal free form of a language that has a given sound and meaning and syntactic funtion. 2. Morpheme --- A morpheme is the minimal significant element in the composition of words. 3. Free morphemes or Content morphemes (Free root)--- They are morphemes that may constitute words by themselves : cat, walk. 4. Bound Morphemes or Grammatical morphemes--- They are morphemes that must appear with at least one other morpheme, either bound or free : Catts, walk+ing. 5. Bound root --- A bound root is that part of the word that carries the fundamental meaning just like a free root. Unlike a free root, it is a bound form and has to combine with other morphemes to make words. Take -dict- for example: it conveys the meaning of "say or speak" as a Latin root, but not as a word. With the prefix pre-(=before) we obtain the verb predict meaning "tell beforehand". 6. Affixes --- Affixes are forms that are attached to words or word elements to modify meaning or funtion. 7. Inflectional morphemes or Inflectional affixes --- Affixes attaches to the end of words to indicate grammatical relationships are inflectional ,thus known as inflectional morphemes. There is the regular plural suffix -s(-es) which is added to nouns such as machines, desks. 8. Derivational morphemes or Derivational affixes--- Derivational affixes are affixes added to other morphemes to create new words. 9. Prefixes --- Prefixes are affixes that come before the word, such as, pre+war. 10. Suffixes --- suffixes are affixes that come after the word, for instance, blood+y. Derivational morphemes/ derivational affixes --- A process of forming new words by the addition of a word element. Such as prefix, suffix, combing form to an already existing word. Prefixation ---- is the formation of new words by adding prefix or combing form to the base. (It modify the lexical meaning of the base) Suffixation--- is the formation of a new word by adding a suffix or combing form to the base and usually changing the word-class of the base. Such as boy. Boyish (noun- adjective) 11. Roo t --- A root is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analysed without total loss of identity. 12.Opaque Words--Words that are formed by one content morpheme only and cannot be analysed into parts are called opaque words, such as axe, glove. 13. Transparent Words--Words that consist of more than one morphemes and can be segmented into parts are called transparent words: workable(work+able), door-man(door+man).

Motivation of words分类：onomatopoeic motivation, morphological motivation, semantic motivation, etymological motivation. Types of meaning: grammatical ~ & lexical ~; conceptual ~& associative ~(connotative~, stylistic~, affective ~, collocative ~,) Primary meaning is the only meaning that a word had when it was first created. Derived meanings are the meanings that a word gets from the primary meaning at different stages of its development in the course of time. 同义关系Synonyms are words which share the same or nearly the same meaning with each other but different in sound and spelling. There are absolute synonyms and relative synonyms which result from borrowing, dialects and regional English, figurative and euphemistic use of words, coincidence with idiomatic expressions. There exists the difference between or among synonyms in terms of their denotation, connotation or application. Absolute synonyms or complete synonyms are words which are identical in meaning in all its aspects. Relative synonyms or near-synonyms are similar or nearly the same in denotation, but embrace different shades of meaning or different degrees of a given quality. 3.Sources of Synonyms 1) Borrowing 2)Dialects and regional English 3) Figurative and euphemistic use of words 4) Coincidence with idiomatic expressions 4.What are the characteristics of antonyms? 1) Antonyms are classified on the basis of semantic opposition 2) A word which has more than one meaning can have more than one antonym. 3) Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion. 4) Contrary terms are gradable antonyms, differing in degree of intenisty, so each has its own corresponding opposite. 5.同形同音异义关系Homonymy is one of the features of words that a word is different in meaning from another, but either identical both in sound and spelling or identical only in sound or spelling with the other Homonyms generally fall into three classes: perfect homonyms (same name); homographs (same spelling) and homophones （some sound）. Perfect homonyms are those words identical both in sound and spelling, but different in meaning. Homophones refer to the words identical only in sound but different in spelling and meaning 6.上下义关系:Hyponymy deals with the relationship of semantic inclusion. That is, the meaning of a more specific word is included in that of another more general word. Superordinates refer to some general words; subordinates denote those more specific words. Hyponymy can be described in terms of tree-like graphs, with higher-order superordinates above the lower subordinates. But their status either as superordinate or subordinate is relative to other terms. For example, horse, dog, pig are subordinates in relation to animal, but superordinates of mare, hound and boar, Animal itself becomes a subordinate of creature. And creature in turn becomes 7.词义变化的种类There are five types of meaning, changes: extension, narrowing, degradation, elevation, and transfer among which extension and narrowing are the most common. Changes in meaning can be accounted for from extra-linguistic factors (historical reason, class reason, and psychological reason) and intra-linguistic factors (shortening, the influx of borrowing, and analogy). 8.词义的扩大Extension is a process by which a word with a specialized sense is generalized to cover a broader or less 9.Definite concept. Compare the following；词义的缩小Narrowing is a process by which a word of wider meaning acquires a specialized sense；词义的升华Elevation is a process by which a word moves from a derogatory or neutral sense to a neutral and/or appreciative sense；词义的降格Degradation is a process by which a word of reputation slides into a pejorative use,；词义的转移Transfer is a process by which a word denoting one thing changes to refer to a different but related thing. Paper serves as an example. This word formerly denoted an African plant papyrus, which was
