Looking at the development history of language science, from a highly abstract level, there are always two theoretical viewpoints of form and function intertwined.
The confrontation and competition of points lead to different academic viewpoints, theoretical schools and descriptive methods, which has become the development of linguistics.
The driving force for the development of the whole discipline. After the 1970s, this kind of opposition intensified and formed a place.
Saussure's paradox is embodied in the study of "built-in language" and "external language", which is manifested in the focus and research content.
"The difference between research. As far as theoretical division is concerned, sociolinguistic research belongs to functional school. In practical use.
In this process, when language phenomena interact with social and cultural factors, language codes no longer only represent pure linguistics.
The symbolic meaning in the world contains complex social factors and profound cultural significance, so it is necessary to study linguistics.
This is described and explained. In the late 1970s, Chomsky compared sociolinguistic research to collecting butterfly specimens.
Its importance is incomparable to theoretical linguistics. After more than twenty years, Joe changed his original view, claiming that
Never doubt the legal status of sociolinguistic research in language science.
The significance of sociolinguistic research also lies in promoting curriculum construction, attaching importance to applied research and prospering linguistic research.
Three aspects. Since the emergence of sociolinguistics, it has been paid attention to in developed countries of western language research.
Phonology and semantics have become the core courses of many university language departments. In addition, sociolinguistics should
Pragmatic research has also attracted extensive attention in academic circles, including legal language, advertising language, diagnostic language and generalized language.
Language teaching and research have been fully realized. Finally, sociolinguistics tries to provide a general explanation for the practical use of language.
The ubiquitous phenomenon of language variation provides an integrated research model and theoretical explanation, especially by examining various languages.
The relationship between variant forms and social and cultural influences aims to reveal the interactive mode between speech acts and social and cultural factors.
The variation phenomenon is explained and illustrated from a multi-dimensional perspective.
Let's cite a common example of English usage to illustrate the contribution of sociolinguistics to linguistic research. Zhongzhouzhou
Knowing and refuting interrogative sentences is a unique phenomenon in English. Structurally speaking, rhetorical questions have two syntactic forms:
1) This is an interesting book, isn't it?
This is not an interesting book, is it?
These two syntactic structures can be regarded as different variants of the same language phenomenon-they can be mutually beneficial in any case.
Use, does not affect the expression of meaning. Formally, this structure can be further expressed as the following rules:
Rules of English tag questions
NP + VP，VP + NP？
|+negative number||-negative number||+pronoun |
|-negative ||+negative |
But functionally speaking, especially in spoken English, it is also an anti-meaning question, which is expressed in different intonations.
The background is very different. The traditional explanation is: when the second half sentence is read softly, it means information consultation; After a sentence
The half part is read in a falling tone, which means expecting confirmation from the other party. Since 1970s, with the development of sociolinguistic research
Exhibition, a new understanding of this language phenomenon and its functional characteristics. First of all, the study of language gender differences shows that
As far as language function is concerned, rhetorical questions often include "indecision", "expecting approval" and "avoiding conflict"
Cloud and western culture agree on women's social roles, so it is mostly used by women. Secondly, it comes from dialects.
The study of variants shows that rhetorical questions are often used to express the meaning of "condescending" in English culture, implying
A clear sense of superiority. Finally, the investigation from the court context also shows that rhetorical questions are not women's patents-
Its frequency of use is restricted by social context and dominated by role identification, which is not so much the embodiment of "women's English"
It is the characteristic of "weak English". Therefore, sociolinguistics provides a new way for linguistic research.
Observation horizon and new analytical methods enrich the research content of language science and deepen our understanding of the essence of language.
I see.
Looking at the history of language science development, from a highly abstract level, there are always two concepts of form and function.
The confrontation and competition of points lead to different academic perspectives, theories and descriptive methods becoming the schools of linguistic development.
The driving force to promote the overall development of the discipline. After the 1970 s, this opposition intensified and formed.
It is believed that Saussure's paradox is manifested in the study of "internal language" and "external language" in terms of emphasis and research content.
"The difference between research. According to the theory of distinction, the social functions of language research are different. In practical use.
In the process, when language phenomena interact with social and cultural factors, language code is no longer just a simple language.
As far as symbolic meaning is concerned, it implies complicated social factors and profound cultural significance-the necessity of linguistic research.
This description and explanation. In the late 1970s, Chomsky described the collection of butterfly specimens as a sociolinguistic research work.
Its importance is incomparable to theoretical linguistics. After more than 20 years, Qiao Shi changed his original view, claiming that
Never doubt the legal status of sociolinguistic research in language science.
The social significance of linguistic research lies in promoting curriculum construction, attaching importance to applied research and prospering linguistic research.
Three areas. Since the emergence of sociolinguistics, it has been paid attention to in western countries with developed linguistics, and there is a sentence-making method
Phonology and semantics, together with the core courses of some university linguistics departments. In addition, sociolinguistics should
With the extensive research, it has also attracted academic attention, in legal language, advertising language, diagnostic language, and general
Language teaching and research are fully realized. Finally, sociolinguistics tries to generalize the practical application of language.
The above provides a comprehensive model and theoretical explanation for the existence of language variation, especially by investigating various languages.
The relationship between the form of variation and the influence of social culture, behavior and speech, in order to reveal the social and cultural factors of the interactive model.
And describe and explain the variation phenomenon from a multi-dimensional perspective.
Let's cite a common example of English usage to illustrate the contribution of sociolinguistics to linguistic research. Public figures this week
I know that antonym interrogative sentences are a unique phenomenon in English language. Structurally speaking, antonym interrogative sentences have two syntactic forms:
1) This is an interesting book, isn't it?
This is not an interesting book, is it?
These two syntactic structures can be regarded as different variants of the same language-they can cross in any case.
Use, does not affect the expression of meaning. This structure can further formally express the following rules:
Rules of English tag questions
NP + VP，VP + NP？
|+negative number||-negative number||+pronoun |
|-negative ||+negative |
But in the functional sense, especially in oral English, the same rhetorical question is expressed by using different moods.
Legacy is very different. The traditional explanation is: the second half of the sentence is read as a soft tone, which means information consultation; The following sentence
Half the time, if it is a falling tone, it means that you want the other party to confirm. Since the 1970s, with the development of sociolinguistics
The exhibition has a new understanding of this language phenomenon and its functional characteristics. First of all, from the linguistic research, it shows that gender differences
On the other hand, in terms of language function, interrogative sentences contain many words with endings such as "indecision", "expecting approval" and "avoiding conflict".
Cloud is consistent with the recognition of women's social roles in western culture, so it is mostly used by women. Secondly, from the dialect.
The research shows that variants are often used to express ambiguous questions in English culture, which have the meaning of "pride and redundancy", and imply
The obvious superiority inheritance. Finally, the court investigation also shows that the problem of anti-consciousness is not unique to women.
-Its frequency of use is restricted by social context and dominated by role identity, which is not so much a manifestation of "female English".
Because this is the characteristic of "weak English". Therefore, sociolinguistics provides a new way for linguistic research.
Observation horizon, a new analytical method, enriches the content of language science research and enhances our language essence.
