27、ing/. Such variants of a phoneme are called allophones of the same phoneme. In this case, the allophones are said to be in complementary distribution because they never occur in the same context.

29、f two words are transposed.(2 points) At a theoretical level, a promising start has been made by Garrett. He argues that producing speech is a much more complex matter than it might appear to be from our everyday experience. According to his model, there are altogether five different levels of repre

30、sentation involved in speaking a sentence, and they occur in the following sequence;(3 points) (1)The message-level representation; It is an abstract, pre-linguistic representation of the idea or ideas that the speaker wants to communicate. (2)The functional-level representation; It is an outline of

31、 the proposed utterance having grammatical structure; in other words, the slots for nouns, adjectives and so on, are allocated, but there are no actual words to fill the slots. (3)The positional-level representation; It differs from the functional level representation in that it incorporates the wor

32、ds of the sentence that is to be produced. (4)The phonetic-level representation; Of the necessary information about the ways the intended sentence are pronounced. (5)The articulatory-level representation; It is the final representation, and contains a set of instructions for articulating the words i

33、n a sentence in the correct order.(5 points) This complex theory of speech production has not yet been tested thoroughly. However, there are supporters for some of its major assumptions. In essence, Garrett claims that the speaker engages in a reasonable elaborate planning before begin to speak. One

34、 way of testing this notion is to consider the sorts of error that people make while talking. For example, if sounds or words from the end of a sentence intrude into the early part of a sentence, then it provides an evidence for the notion of forward planning, and the SPOONERISM(SLIP OF THE TONGUE)b

35、elongs to this type of error.(3 points)解析：解析：考查口误现象。这个概念指的是两个单词的前一个或前几个字母互换位置。请人们收集他们在日常言语中的口误对研究言语产生来说是一个比较有效的方法，Garrett 对此展开了研究，他宣称，说话者在说话之前会在合理范围内对要说的话进行计划。有些错误印证了他的这一观点，其中口误现象即是证据之一。它证明了人们在说出一个句子前确实有计划性。14.Please give a brief account of the relevance theory.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：This theory was f

36、ormally proposed by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in their book Relevance-. Communication and Cognition in 1986. They argue that all Gricean maxims, including the CP itself, should be reduced to a single principle of relevance, which is defined as; Every act of ostensive communication communicates

37、the presumption of its own optimal relevance.(4 points) To understand this definition, we need to be clear about the key notions in it; “ostensive communication“ and “presumption of optimal relevance“.(1 point) From the speaker“s side, communication should be seen as an act of making clear one“s int

38、ention to express something. They call this act as ostensive act.(3 points) By “presumption of optimal relevance“ is meant; (a)The set of assumptionsI, which the communicator intends to make manifest to the addressee, is relevant enough to make it worth the addressee“s time to process the ostensive stimulus.(2 points) (b)The ostensive stimulus is the most relevant one the communicator could have used to communicateI.(2 points)解析：解析：考查关联理论。关联理论可以简化为关联原则。关联原则的定义是：每一个明示交际行为都传递一种假定：该行动本身具备最佳关联性。为了理解这个定义，我们需要搞清楚其中的关键概念：“明示交际行为”和“最佳关联假定”。从说话人方面讲，交际应该被看成一种表明自身说话意图的行为，这种行为被称为“明示行为”。而最
