23、uble and do not know how to behave correctly, they tend to turn to their source culture for help.(1 point)This is a strategy often used by communicators in a new cultural setting.

24、nt. This is because people from different communities think, behave, and speak differently.

Do you agr

26、ee or not?（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Semantic triangle is a theory proposed by Ogden and Richards in The Meaning of Meaning, which argues that the relation between a word and a thing it refers to is not direct. It is mediated by concept. In a diagram form, the relation is represented as follows;(2 points)

27、 This triangle cannot refer to the abstract concepts. Leech also uses sense as a briefer term for his conceptual meaning and we can say his conceptual meaning has two sides; sense and reference. To some extent, we can say every word has a sense, but not every word has a reference. What is more, it i

28、s not convenient to explain the meaning of a word in terms of the thing it refers to.(2 points) This theory can not explain everything. Though we can say every word has a sense, not every word has a reference, which means they don“t always refer to something. Grammatical words like but, if, and do n

29、ot refer to anything.(1 point)解析：解析：考查语义三角。语义三角是由奥格登和理查兹在意义的意义一书中提出的，“语义三角”表明，词和所指事物之间没有直接关系，而是以抽象的概念为中介的。23.Please briefly answer the following question IN ABOUT 500 WORDS:According to John Austin“s speech act theory, to say is to do; i. e. , we do things with words. Do you know anything about his

30、suggestions of “locutionary act“ , “ illocutionary act“ and “ perlocutionary act“ ? If you do, please demonstrate your understanding of them, with examples, if necessary.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Speech act theory originated with the British philosopher John Austin in the late 1950“s. It is a philosophic

31、al explanation of the nature of linguistic communication. According to this theory, we are performing various kinds of acts when we are speaking. A speaker might be performing three acts simultaneously when speaking: locutionary act, illocutionary act and perlocutionary act.(1 point) The first sense

32、 is that when we speak we move our vocal organs and produce a number of sounds, organized in a certain way and with a certain meaning. In this sense, when somebody says “ Morning!“ , he produced a sound, word or sentence “ Morning!“ The act performed in this sense is called a LOCUTIONARY ACT. Within

33、 this act, however, Austin suggests that there is another act. “In performing a locutionary act we shall also be performing such an act as; asking or answering a question, giving some information or an assurance or a warning, announcing a verdict or an intention, pronouncing sentence, making an appo

34、intment or an appeal or a criticism, making identification or giving a description and so on“. For example, to the above question “What did he do?“ We could perfectly well say “He offered a greeting. “(3 points) In other words, when we speak, we not only produce some units of language with certain m

35、eanings, but also make clear our purpose in producing them, the way we intend them to be understood, or they also have certain forces. In the example of “Morning!“ we can say it has the force of a greeting, or it ought to have been taken as a greeting. This is the second sense in which to say someth

36、ing is to do something, and the act performed is known as an ILLOCUTIONARY ACT.(2 points) The third sense in which to say something can mean to do something concerns the consequential effects of a locution upon the hearer. Telling somebody something the speaker may change the opinion of hearer on something, or mislead him, or surprise him, or induce to do something, etc. Whether or not these eff
