1 Basic Concepts of Words and Vocabulary

1.1What is a word

(1) a minimal free form of a language

(2) a sound unity

(3) a unit of meaning

(4) a form that can function alone in a sentence

1.2Sound and meaning

Arbitrary (conventional) relationship between linguistic unit and its reference

1.3Sound and form

Theoretically sound and form should agree with each other, but actually there are many differences between the two.

Reasons: 1 Alphabet from the Romans, where letters do not correspond to each sound

2 Pronunciations changed more rapidly than spelling over the years

3 Early casualness in spelling

4 Borrowing words are not all assimilated

1.4What is V ocabulary?

1.5.1Basic word stock and non-basic vocabulary (classification via use frequency)

1.5.2Content words/notional words and functional words/empty/form words (via notion)

1.5.3Native words and borrowed words (via origin)

词汇学的基本知识

词汇学的基本知识 词汇学是研究词语的学问,它是传统语言学(语法、语音、词汇)的一个分支。词汇学的 主要研究的内容是:词的性质、词的构成、词义的本质及发展、词的各种关系(同音、同 义、反义等)。 一、什么是词 词是有意义的能够独立运用的造句的最小单位,它具有固定的语音形式。汉语词的划分有一 定的困难,因为在书写时词和词之间是不分开的。就“独立运用”而言,许多虚词和量词是 不能独立运用的。于是增加了一条补充,一句话中把能独立运用的词划分出去,剩写的也是词。如:“我把这本书包了个书皮。”这个句子中的“本”“个”和“把”也是词。汉语中词 和短语的界限也不很清楚。一般可以用扩展插入法来区分。能插入的是短语,不能插入的是 词(意义不能变)。比如:钢笔——钢的笔、白菜——白的菜、白布——白的布、吃饭——吃 了饭、鸡蛋——鸡的蛋、睡觉——睡不睡觉。“钢笔”不能插入词,“白菜”插入后意思变了,它们肯定是词。“白布”可以插入且意思不变,可以做为短语。“吃饭”可以插入,“鸡蛋”可 以插入,但“鸡蛋”的频度很高,可以把它做为词。睡觉可以插入,但两个语素的组合是固 定的,把这类词做为离合词(理发、洗澡、打仗等)。 一个语素(有意义的汉字)能独立运用就是词。(米、吃、红、个、从) 两个语素组合后,意义不是它们的简单相加,就是词。(钢笔、金鱼、) 两个语素组合后,不能扩展插入词,就是词。(钢笔,白菜) 两个语素组合后,虽能扩展插入词,但它们是不能用别的语素替换的,则是一种特殊的词 ——离合词。 两个语素组合后,虽能扩展插入词,但它们的使用频度很高,且大家约定俗成认为它是词。(“鸡蛋”是词、“鹰蛋”就有人认为是短语)。 综上所述,汉语的词与短语之间的界限是有模糊地带的。 人们对客观世界的认识形成了概念,词是反映概念的,但它们之间的关系不是一一对应的。 比如,“月亮”、“月球”对应的是一个概念,“人民”这个词可以对应不同的概念。 二、现代汉语词汇的构成 词汇由词和固定的短语——熟语、谚语等构成。 词可以从不同的角度分类: 1.语法分类——实词、虚词(词类) 2.结构分类——单纯词、合成词 3.音节分类——单音节词、多音节词 4.常用——常用词汇(基本词汇)、一般词汇 5.口语词汇——书面词汇 6.普通话词汇——方言词汇 7.汉语词汇——外来语词汇 8.古词语——新词语 熟语可以包括成语、谚语、歇后语等。成语表意凝炼、形象,在书面语中广泛运用。它来源 于古代的典故,有的选取原句中最能概括原句意思的成分(乘风破浪——愿乘长风,破万里浪),有的用四个字概括寓言、故事等(刻舟求剑、狐假虎威),有的增加个别字(短兵相接——车错毂兮短兵接)。成语的意思有的是语素义的简单相加(汗流浃背、无稽之谈、自圆其说);多数成语的意思不是语素义的相加,有的意思是约定俗成的(高山流水——表示知己知音),有的是取字面的比喻义(水落石出——比喻真相毕露了)。

Explain the relationship between sound and meaning with examples. There is no logical relationship between sound and meaning as the symbolic connection between them is arbitrary and conventional. E.g. “woman” means “Frau” in German, “Femme” in French and “Funv” in Chinese. On the other hand, the same sound /rait/ can mean right, rite and write, though denoting different things, yet have the same sound. 2. Illustrate four types of antonyms with examples. 3. What are allomorphs? Please list the allomorphes of the morpheme{plural} in English. The different morphological or phonetic forms of a morpheme are allomorphs of the morpheme. The noun plural morpheme {plural} in English has a numer of allomorphs, such as [-s] in cats, [-z] in bags, [-iz] in fishes, [-ai] in mice, [-n] in oxen, [-i:] in geese and so on. 4. As language changes over time, the meaning of a word may deviate from its original denotation. Discuss the major types of semantic changes. Major types of semantic changes are semantic broadening, semantic narrowing and semantic shift. Semantic broadening refers to the process in which the meaning of a word becomes more general or inclusive than its historically earlier denotation. Take the word “holiday”for example, the orlder meaning was a “holy day”. Today everyone enjoys a holiday, regardless of religious background. Semantic narrowing is a process in which the meaning of a word becomes less gneral or inclusive than its historically earlier meaning. For example. “wife”used to mean “any woman”, but now it only means “a married female”. Semantic shift is a process of semantic change in which a word loses its former meaning and acquires a new, sometimes related, meaning. For example, the word silly meant “happy”in Old English, and naive in Middle English, but “foolish”in Modern Engilsh. 5. Illustrate four types of synonyms with examples.

词汇学知识点总结

Language Language is a system of symbol based on physiology, psychology, and physics. It’s a special social action and a carrier of information used for human communication in a society. The relationship between Language, Society, and Thought: 1. any language reflects the culture of the society in a particular period. Therefore language is the mirror reflecting the culture of a society. 2. Language is a product of society. Language is inseparable from human society. 3. Language is used as a means of communication in a society. Outside society there is no language. 4. Society depends upon language for its existence. For example, there are many words connected with carriage. Buggy, a light one-horse carriage with two wheels. Coach, a large closed four-wheel horse-drawn carriage. 5. moreover, man’s thought is indispensable to language just as language is indispensable from society. We know that language is used to express man’s thought. The process of thinking is closely connected with language. That is to say, without thinking, there would be no human language. 6. language serves society as a means of intercourse between people. Linguistics is the scientific study of language. The scope of linguistics include phonology, syntax, semantics, phonetics, philology, lexicology, stylistics, general linguistics, descriptive linguistics…… Lexicology is a branch of linguistics concerned with the study of the vocabulary of a given language. It deals with words, their origin, development, history, structure, meaning, and application. Aim of English Lexicology is to give a systematic description of the English vocabulary. It offers students an insight into the origin and development of the English vocabulary. The significance of English Lexicology: help the learners to enlarge their vocabulary and improve their ability to analyze and use the words. Two approaches to the study of English Lexicology: synchronic and diachronic. Synchronic means describing a language as it exists at one period of time. Diachronic means concerned with the historical development of a language. For example: January, February, march, synchronically, they are the words of the months of one year. Diachronically, they are all borrowed words. Synchronically, we consider words like eventful, talkative as derivatives. Diachronically, they are hybrids, that is, words that are made of two parts, each from a different language. Etymology is the study of the origin and history of words and their meanings. Significance: 1.to provides background information and knowledge about the history, origin and development of the English language. 2. To increase the learner’s enjoyment and real understanding of English words from their changes of forms including their spelling and pronunciation to that of meanings. English is classified as a Teutonic language, that is, a Germanic language. English belongs to the Low West Germanic branch of the Indo-European family. Division of the history of the English language: 1. the period from 450 to 1150 is known as the Old English or Anglo-Saxon period. It’s described as the period of full inflection. 2. The period from 1150 to 1500 is known as the Middle English period, also as the period of leveled inflections. 3. The period from 1500 to the present day is called the Modern English period, also as the period of lost inflection. There are two classes of language in the world: synthetic and analytic. A synthetic language is one which shows the relation of word in a sentence largely by means of inflection. An analytic language is one which indicates the relation of words in a sentence by means of word order, preposition or auxiliary verbs, rather than by inflection. Old English the a synthetic language, while Modern English is an analytic language. Modern English can be divided into two parts: the early Modern English period and the Late Modern English period. Dean Swift was a conservative and he opposed the tendency to shorten words, such as ad

Onomatopoeic motivation(拟声理据) words were created by imitating the nature sounds or noises.
