2、and used in munication is called phonology.For example,phone,phoneme,and allophone. 4 Morphology :The study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words is called morphology.For example,boy and “ish”-boyish,teach-teacher. 5 Syntax : The study of how morphemes and words are bined to form
3、sentences is called syntax.For esample,”John like linguistics.” 6 Semantics:The study of meaning in language is called semantics. For example,:The seal could not be found.The zoo keeper became worried.” The seal could not be found,The king became worried.” Here the word seal means different things.
4、7 Pragmatics: The study of meaning in context of use is called pragmatics.For example, “I do” The word do means different context. 8 Sociolinguistics: The study of language with reference to society is called sociolinguistics.For example,regional dialects,social variation in language.9Psycholinguist

6、 can be simply defined as the speech sounds we use when speaking a language. A phone is a phonetic unit or segement. It does not necessarily distinguish meaning; some do,some dont. 4 Phoneme: Phonology is concerned with the speech sounds which distinguish meaning. The basic unit in phonology is call
7、ed phoneme;it is a unit that is of distinctive value. 5 allophone: The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the allophones of that phoneme. 6 plementary distribution: These two allophones of the same phoneme are said to be in pkenebtary distribu
8、tion. 7 Minimal pair: When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segement which occurs in the same place in the stings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair. 8 Stress: When a certain syllable of a word is stressed, it means that the syllable is prounced with gr
9、eat force than the other or others. 9 tones: Tones are pitch variation, which are caused by the different rates of vibration of the vocal cords. Pitch variations can distinguish meaning just like phoneme; therefore, the tone is a suprasegemental feature. 10 intonation: When pitch, stress and sound l
10、ength are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. Intonation plays an important role in conveying meaning in almost every language,especially in a language like English三 形态学 1 morphology: Morphology is a branch of grammer which studies the i

12、 language. 5 free morpheme: Free morpheme are the morphemes which are independent units of meaning and can be used freely all by themselces or in bination with other morphemes. 6 bound morpheme: Bound morphemes are the morphemes which cannot be used independently but have to be bined with other morp
13、hemes, either free or bound, to form a word. 7 root: A root is often seen as part of a word; it can never stand by itself although it bears clear,definite meaning; it must be bined with another root or an affix to form a word. 8 affix: Affixes are of two types: inflectional and derivational. 9 prefi
14、x: Prefix occur at the beginning of a word. 10 suffix: Suffixes are added to the end of the stems; they modify the meaning of the original word and in many cases change its part of speech. 11 derivation: Derivation affixes are added to an existing form to creat a word.Derivation can be viewed as the
15、 adding of affixes to stem to form nes words. 12 pounding: Like derivation, pounding is another popular and important way of forming new words in English. pounding can be viewed as the bination of two or sometimes more than two words to creat new words. 四 句法学 1 linguistic petence: sky defines petenc

17、 rules: Syntactic movement is governed by transformational rules. The operation of the transformational rules may change the syntactic representation of a sentence. 4 D-structure : A sentence may have two levels of syntactic representation. One exists before movement take place, the other occurs aft
18、er movement take place. In formal linguistic exploration, these two syntactic representation are monly termed as D-structure. 5 Move : Just as there is a general rule for all phrase structure rules,i,e. the X-bar schema, there is a general movement rule accounting for the syntactic behavior of any c

It was proposed by structural semanticists. 10 grammatical meaning : The grammatical meaning of a sentence refers to its grammaticality,i.e. its grammatical well-formedness. The grammaticality of asenten
24、ce is governed by the grammatical rules of the language. 11 semantic meaning : The semantic meaning of a sentence is governed by rules called selectional restrictions. 12 predication : In semantic analysis of a sentence, the basic unit is called predication. The predication is the abstraction of the
25、 meaning of a sentence.七 历史语言学 1 historical linguistics: Historical linguistics is the subfield of linguistics that studies language change. 2 apocope: Another well-documented sound loss is the deletion of a word-final vowel segement, a phenomenon called apocope. 3 epenthesis: A change that involves
26、 the insertion of a consonant or vowel sound to the middle of a word is known as epenthesis. 4 metathesis: Sound change as a result of sound movement is known as metathesis. 5 pounding: pounding is a process of bining two or more words into one lexical unit.6 derivation: Derivation refers to the pro
27、cess by which new words are formed by the addition of affixes to the roots. 7 blending: Blending is a process of forming a new word by bining parts of other words. 8 back-formation: Back-formation is a process by which new words are formed by taking away the suffix of an existing word. 9 semantic br
28、oadening: Semantic broadening refers to the process in which the meaning of a word bees general or inclusive than its historically earlier denotation. 10 semantic narrowing: Semantic narrowing is a process in which the meaning of a word bees less general or inclusive than its historically earlier me
29、aning. 11 semantic shift: Semantic shift is a process of semantic change in which a word loses its former meaning and acquire a new, sometimes related, meaning. 12 protolanguage: It refers to a family of a language. 13 sound shift: It refers to the systematic modification of a series of phonemes. ab
