38、握“学科”的说法。详细解答 “disciplines”为“a branch of knowledge or teaching，subjects”。听力原文-IntroductionSince antiquity interest in linguistis-the study and science of human language-has had both practical and philosophical motivations. From a practical side, linguistics can provide a theoretical basis for variet
39、y of practical applications. To name a few, these applications include the treatment of language disorders such as aphasia or reading problems the planning of “language arts“ curricula in the schools, the fight against illiterarcy in many nations of the world, the development of automatic, computer-
40、generated speech productional recognition, the learning of foreign languages, and the simplification of legal language. Philosophical interests have also spurred language study, because from earliest times language has been considered a mirror of the mind.For these reasons both the first and second
41、editions of this text were directed toward students of many disciplines. This book is used in courses for nonlinguisties as well as linguistics students, for major in computer science and English, in speech pathology and anthropology, in communications studies and philosophy.

44、Aspects of language.“ Lesson 2 discusses speech sounds or phonetics and it includes an expanded section on machines that “talk“ and “understand.“ Lesson 3 on phonology demonstrates how sounds form pattens. Lesson 5 shows that written forms of language arose very late in the history of human language
45、. Lesson 4,6, and 7 discuss other grammatical aspects of language-how words are formed (morphology);what words, phrases, and sentences mean (semantics); and how words are put together to form sentences syntax. These lessons have been substantially revised since the second edition. Although a formal
46、descrptive apparatus is still included, it receives less emphasis; distinction between phonetic and phonemic segments and phonological and morphophonemic rules are clarified ;and the section on pragmatics is enlarged.Lessons 8 and 9 of Part Three, “Social Aspects of Language,“ considering language i
47、n society and how languages change over time. Some of the questions raised in this part are: Why are there many languages and how are they related? How and why do languages change? Are some languages or dialects superior to others? Is there any hope for a universal language? Can language be “obscene“ or “sexist“?Part Four, “The Biological Aspects of Language,“ includes Lesson 10 on child language,
