20、正确答案：i）解析：解析 本题考查词汇变化中的逆构词法(back-formation)。逆构词法是构词法中一种不规则的类型，即把一个语言中已经存在的较长单词删去现象中的词缀，由此造出一个较短的单词。如televisiontelevise; editoredit; enthusiasmenthuse 等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：d）解析：解析 本题考查词汇变化中的缩略语(acronym)。缩略语是由组织机构名称的首字母构成的，而这个组织机构的名称有多重修饰语。如 CIACemral Intelligence Agency; WTOWorld Trade Organization; UNESC

21、OUnited Nations Education, Science and Culture Organization 等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：i）解析：解析 本题考查词义扩大(broadening)。词义扩大就是把意义从原来具体的意思扩充到相对概括的意思。如 holiday 过去在宗教英语中的意思是“神圣的日子”，现在的意思是“假日、节日”；bird原指小鸟，后来可以用来指任何一种鸟等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：f）解析：解析 本题考查词义缩小(narrowing)。与词义扩大相反，词义缩小指词语从表达宽泛概念到表达狭窄概念，即从泛指转化为特指或从一般到具体的过程。如 meat 在

22、 17 世纪的意思是“食物”，现在的意义限制为“肉、肉类”；cattle 原泛指家畜，现用来指牛等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：h）解析：解析 本题考查词性(class shift)。词性的变换会改变词义，从指某种具体的实体或概念变为指某种方法或属性。这种构词法也叫零派生(zero-derivation)或变换(conversion)。如 engineer 作为名词时的意思是“工程师”，但是用作动词时，意思是“做工程师”或“计划；操作”；stump 作名词时的意思是“树桩”，作动词时是“挑战”的意思。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：g）解析：解析 本题考查类推构词(analogical creat

23、ion)。某些英语动词同时具有规则的和不规则的两种变化形式，这可以用类推构词原则来解释。例如，人们都知道英语动词表示过去时态的后缀应该是-ed，于是喜欢把它应用到所有的动词上。如 work: wroughtworked; slay: slewslayed 等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：e）解析：解析 本题考查借词(borrowing)。英语在其发展过程中，通过借用其他语言的单词来设法扩充词汇。如从汉语中借的词：taji(太极拳); chow mein(炒面); kung-fu(中国功夫)等。(Chomsky, Jespersen, Whorf, Jones, Saussure, Austin

26、nd Richard 提出“语义三角”说。他们主张，词和所指事物之间没有直接关系，而是以概念作为中介。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Whorf）解析：解析 萨丕尔一沃尔夫假说发展出了两个版本，即强式说和弱式说。强式说指的是这一理论的初始假说，即强调语言在塑造我们的思维方式过程中起到了决定性作用：弱式说则是初始假说的修正形式，即认为语言、文化和思维之间有相关性，但是产生不同思维方式的跨文化交际差异只是相对的，而不是绝对的。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Austin）解析：解析 言语行为理论是牛津哲学家 Austin 提出的，是研究语言使用的第一个重要理论。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Firth）解析

27、：解析 Firth 是伦敦学派的重要代表人物。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Halliday）解析：解析 Halliday 的系统功能语法是一种具有社会学倾向的功能语言学处理方法，是二十世纪最有影响的语言学理论之一，同时也影响到和语言相关的不同领域，如语言教学、社会语言学、话语分析、文体学和机器翻译等。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Chomsky）解析：解析 Chomsky 建立了著名的转换生成语法(TG)。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Bloomfield）解析：解析 Bloomfield 是美国描写语言学的首要代表。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Saussure）解析：解析 Saussure 被誉

28、为现代语言学之父。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Jespersen）解析：解析 Jespersen 是丹麦语法学家，提出建立“音标符号”想法。51.“the woman beat a baby/（分数：10.00）_正确答案：( )解析：52.Illustrate free morpheme and bound morpheme.（分数：4.00）_正确答案：(Morphemes can be sub-classified according to their capacity of occurring aloneThose that may occur alone, that is, thos

30、单独出现，可以将语索分为两类。能单独出现也就是能单独成词的，是自由语素，与此相反，不能单独出现，必须跟至少一个其他语素共现的语素叫黏着语素。53.Illustrate the NUMBER issue with both English and Chinese lexical items.（分数：4.00）_正确答案：(In English，nouns exhibit two grammatically different forms，which vary together with variation between verb forms consisting of root and roo

31、t plus /-s/, /-z/, and /-iz/(man eats，men eat)in the basic exocentric noun+verb sentence patternThese two forms of nouns and the verb forms required with each are labeled singular and plural，and together form in English the category of numberIn contrast, Chinese is said to have noneFor example, 他在吃饭

33、(improper)”，“一些学生们(improper)”)解析：解析 本题考查语法中的“数”。在英语中，可数名词或代词在与动词构成基本的离心结构时，这些名词、代词和动词有单、复数之分。但在汉语中，没有这种单复数变化。54.List the features of SCHEMATA.（分数：4.00）_正确答案：(It is believed that schemata, meaning packets of stored knowledge, play an important role in language processingThe features of schemata are a

35、fferent kinds of restaurant(e.g.fast-food places, up-market French restaurant, and so on)(3)Schemata operate in a top-down or conceptually driven way to facilitate interpretation of environmental stimuli)解析：解析 本题考查图式的特征。图式意为储存知识的信息包，往往是分等级地组织起来的，从非常简单到非常复杂，在语言过程中发挥着重要作用。55.Laurence Horns Q-and R-pri
