24、单词。10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查语法范畴。名词的语法范畴有：数(number)、性(gender) 、格(case)，动词的则包括时态(tense)和体(aspect) 。格 (case)范畴是用来辨别句中词与词之间的句法关系的。11 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查反义关系。反义关系包括等级反义和互补反义。等级反义词可以表现不同程度的差别，主要是形容词。12 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查语义三角。奥格登和瑞恰兹在意义的意义中提出了“语义三角”，指出词和所指事物之间没有直接关系，而是以概念为中介的。13 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 考查语言学家在语言学史上的出现时间。乔

25、姆斯基于 20 世纪 50 年代后期出现在语言学界的舞台上，1957 年出版的句法结构标志着其对传统语法的革命。14 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考查语言学史。在 19 世纪，历史语言学占主导地位，语言学家们致力于对不同语言进行比较分析，揭示语言间的亲属关系以及它们的历史发展。20世纪初，瑞士语言学家索绪尔出版了普通语言学教程，奠定了结构主义语言学的基础。15 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查布扎格学派。布拉格学派以其对音系学的研究最为著名。此外，该学派还区分了音位学和音系学。16 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 考查心理语言学。心理语言学是研究与语言使用相关的心理状态和心理活动的。17 【

28、前景是布拉格学派的语言分析理论，指用所含信息来分析话语或篇章，其基本原则是评价话语中每一个部分对全句意义的贡献。26 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 考查乔姆斯基的理论。转换生成语法、标准理论和古典理论都属于乔姆斯基的理论。系统功能语法理论是由韩礼德提出来的。27 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考查言语行为理论。青语行为理论包括发话行为、行事行为和取效行为。28 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查历史比较语言学一历史比较语言学在 19 世纪的欧洲占绝对主导地位，其原因是学者发现印度梵语，并在 18 世纪末证实了梵语与希腊语、拉丁语和德语有无可争辩的历史联系。29 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 考

29、查语言学家的所属年代。德国的葆朴、丹麦的拉斯克和德国的格里姆是 19 世纪初期历史比较语言学的奠基人。维尔纳是 19 世纪后半叶的语言学家，他补充了格里姆定律，完善了音变规律研究。30 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 考查语言学史知识。19 世纪的最后 25 年是历史比较语言学的“新语法学派”时期。这个学派的代表人物是奥斯特霍夫(HOsthoff)和布鲁克曼(KBrugmann)，他们在自己创办的刊物形态学研究上正式宣布：语音演变规律不允许任何例外。“维尔纳定律”是这一时期的一项重要研究成果。二、名词解释31 【正确答案】 A means of working out a set of phon

30、ological contrasts or oppositions to capture particular aspects of language sounds, first suggested by Roman Jacobson in the 1940s and then developed by numerous other scholars.【试题解析】 (考查对语音区别特征的理解)32 【正确答案】 It is a theoretic assumption which suggests that our language helps mould our way of thinkin

31、g, and consequently, different languages may probably express our unique ways of understanding the world. This hypothesis has two important points;(1)linguistic determinismlanguage may determine our thinking patterns and(2)linguistic relativitysimilarity between language is relative, the greater the

32、ir structural differentiation is, the more diverse their conceptualization of the world will be.【试题解析】 (考查萨丕尔一沃尔夫假说)33 【正确答案】 Immediate Constituent Analysis, IC analysis for short, refers to the analysis of a sentence in terms of its immediate constituentsword groups(phrases), which are in turn anal

33、yzed into the immediate constituents of their own, and the process goes on until the ultimate sake of convenience. The IC analysis of a sentence may be carried out with brackets or shown with a tree diagram.【试题解析】 (考查直接成分分析法)34 【正确答案】 This theory was formally proposed by Sperber and Wilson in their

34、book Relevance; Communication and Cognition in 1986.

35、理解)35 【正确答案】 Contrastive Analysis, or CA, is a way of comparing languages(e. g. , LI and L2)in order to determine potential errors for the ultimate purpose of isolating what needs to be learned and what does not need to be learned in a second language learning situation. The goal of Contrastive Anal

36、ysis is to predict what areas will be easy to learn and what areas will be difficult to learn.【试题解析】 (考查对比分析法)三、写作题36 【正确答案】 Sentence 1,3 and 4 are grammatically well-formed while sentence 2,5 and 6 are ill-formed. When “say“ is regarded as a transitive verb, it should have an object.(1 point)The ob

37、ject should be non-personal and about the content of the utterance.(1 point)If one wants to refer to a personal object after “say“ , the preposition “to“ should be used.(1 point)There is no restriction on the relative sequence of the non-personal object(the content)and the personal object, except fo

38、r one case; the non-personal object is a pronoun. If the non-personal object is a pronoun, the sequence should be “ say + pronoun + to sb. “(1 point)In sentence 1 and 3, the word “to“ is used to introduce the personal object;the non-personal object is a noun phrase, so both sequences in the two sent

39、ences are acceptable. In sentence 5 and 6, there is no “to“ before “the press“ , so they are ill-formed.(4 points)Sentence 4 is well-formed since the verb has a non-personal object after it. But sentence 2 is ill-formed for it has no appropriate object.(2 points)【试题解析】 考查动词 say 的用法。1、3 和 4 句的语法是正确的，

40、 2、5 和 6 句是错误的。say 作及物动词时，后面必须要接宾语；宾语是说话的内容而不是说话的对象；若要指出说话的对象，则要用 to 引出。至于句子中说话内容和说话对象的相对顺序，若说话内容为代词，则顺序为：say+代词+to sb；若为名词词组，则二者的顺序相对比较自由。此外，要和 give 等可以接双宾语的动词区分开。2 句中 say 为及物动词，缺少直接宾语；5 句和 6 句把 say 当成了双宾语动词，缺少 to引出说话的对象 the press。37 【正确答案】 The feasibility of Componential Analysis is questioned sin

41、ce there are difficulties in the approach to analyzing the meaning of a word in terms of semantic components.(1 point)The first one is that many words have more than one meaning, and consequently they will have different sets of semantic components.(2 points)Secondly, some semantic components are se

42、en as binary taxonomies. But some distinctions are relatively clear-cut while others are rather vague.(2 points)Thirdly, besides the neatly organized parts of vocabulary, there are also words whose semantic components are difficult to ascertain. Thus whether the vocabulary of every language can be a

43、nalyzed in this way is a question. Even if the answer is yes, there is still the question of how to explain the semantic components themselves.(3 points)However, Componential Analysis is still significant. This approach enables people to better account for sense relations between words, expressions

44、and sentences. To determine which kind of relation two words or expressions or sentences havesynonyms, antonyms or hyponyms, one only have to examine whether the semantic components are the same, or contrasting, or included in those of another.【试题解析】 考查对成分分析的理解和评价。对于词汇组织中整齐的部分，用成分分析法能够很好地说明两个词或词组或句子

45、间的涵义关系。但是并不是所有词汇都适合用成分分析法：一、很多词语不止有一个意义，它们有几套语义成分；二、语义成分的二分并不完全清晰；三、有些单词的语义成分是难以确定的。是否每种语言的词汇都可以用此方法分析是不能肯定的。即使能，仍存在语义成分本身如何解释的问题。38 【正确答案】 In Speech Act Theory, performatives do not describe things and cannot be said to be true or false. The uttering of these sentences is, or is a part of, the doin

46、g of an action.(2 points)For example;If a person shouts “watch out“ , he or she is doing the action of warning. If one says “I promise to finish it in time“ , he or she is making a promise. Both the warning and the promise cannot be considered as true or false, but they can be measured against the f

47、elicity conditions.(3 points)Constatives are descriptions which assert something that is either true or false.(2 points)For example; One says “ it is raining outside“. It is a description of the current weather. The hearer can look out to see whether the statement is true.(3 points)【试题解析】 考查施为句和叙事句。

48、奥斯汀的言语行为理论区分了两种句子：施为句和叙事句。施为句不描述事物，说出这些句子的同时就实施了某种行为。施为句不可以判断真假，而是要根据合适的条件来判断是否适宜。叙事句主要是描述事物，有真假之分。39 【正确答案】 Aquinas integrated the philosophy of Aristotle into the study of language. He believed that Priscian and Donapus only focused on Latin language and neglected the deeper theoretical explanatio

49、n. Petrus Helias philosophical and logical explanation of Priscians grammar made philosophy and logic an effective way to explore grammar and triggered the discussion on universal grammar. Bacon believed that the grammars of all the languages are the same in essence and the surface differences are accidental. Speculative Grammar attempts to explore the essence of the language and has great impact on Transformational-Generative Gram
