江苏教育学院编

语言学概论是英语专业本科段的一门理论课程。该课程通过对英语语言的语音、音位、词法和句法各系统的分析，介绍普通语言学的基本理论模式、概念和研究方法。应试者通过本课程的自学，应能清楚地解释语言学中的重要概念、初步地懂得语言学的研究方法，并能运用所学的理论知识，分析有关的英语语言现象。 一、考试内容Chapter One Introdution1.Differences between general linguistics and descriptive linguistics. 2.The nature of language(s)system/symbolic/vocal/arbitrary/creative/changeable/double-structured 3.Scientific method in linguisticscommon biases/the process of rule-construction4.The goal of linguisticsmodel/competence/explicitness/generativeness5.The sub-=branches of linguisticsphonetics/phonology/morphology/syntax/semantics6.Saussure: the father of linguistics three major distinctions;synchronic/diachronic;paradigmatic/syntagmatic;langue/paroleChapter Two Phonetics1.The sub-branches of phoueticsaritculatory/aconstic/auditory 2.The names of speech organs; Figure 1,p.17 3.International Phonetic Alphabet relationship between spellin and sound inEnglish/advantages of IPA 4.Chassification of the English consonants(1)the position of the soft palate;nasal/oral;(2)the presence or the absence of vocal-cord vibration; voiceless/voiced; (3)the place of articulation; bilabials/labiodentals/dentals/

I.Theory-oriented questions

1.Fill in the blanks e.g.English phonetics has three sub branches,,.2.Multiple-choice questionse.g.Morpheme is defined as(a)a meaningful unit (b)a minimal unit (c)a minimal meaningful grammatical unit (d)a minimal meaningful unit 3.True or false questions e.g. If two or more sounds can occur in the same environment, they are said to be in comple-mentary distribution. True False4.Essay ype questiose.g. How doesl angue differ from parole according to Saussures view? II.Practical work

这一部分试题所采取的形式均在每章后面的练习中出现过，如：
