7、certain syntactic constructions. It differs from concord in that this is a relationship in which a word of a certain class determines the forms of others in terms of certain category. In English, for example, the pronoun after a verb or a preposition should be in the object form as in She gave him a

12、nt of an expressed or implied action. In passive voice such as “John was bitten by a dog“, we have two terms “grammatical subject“ and “logical subject“. Since the core object noun John in this case)sits in the slot before the verb in the passive, it is called grammatical subject, for the original o

13、bject noun phrase occupies the grammatical space before a verb, the space that a subject normally occupies; the core subject(A dog), now the object of a preposition(by a dog), is called the logical subject, since semantically the core subject still does what a subject normally does: it performs an a

14、ction.)解析：7.Semantic Triangle（大连外国语学院 2008 研)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Ogden and Richards presented the classic “Semantic Triangle“ as manifested in the following diagram , in which the “ symbol“ or “ form“ refers to the linguistic elements(word, sentence, etc.), the “referent“ refers to the object in th

15、e world of experience, and “thought“ or “reference“ refers to concept or notion. According to this view, there is no direct link between symbol and referent, that is, between language and the world.

16、确答案：Gradable antonym. Gradable antonyms are antonyms that are gradable because there are often intermediate forms between the two members of a pair.

A locutionary act is the act of saying, the literal meaning of the utterance. Therefore, when somebody says “Morning“

22、 we can ask a question like “What did he do?“ , and the answer could be “He offered a greeting. “ An illocutionary act is the extra meaning of the utterance produced on the basis of the literal meaning. Therefore, for the same example, we can say “ He meant it as a greeting“. A perlocutionary act i

23、s the effect of the utterance on the hearer. Thus, by saying “ Morning!“ the speaker has made it clear that he wants to keep friendly relations with the hearer.)解析：14.Conversational Implicature（武汉大学 2004 研；北京交通大学 2007 研)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Conversational implicature refers to a type of implied mean

25、案：(正确答案：Cooperative principle was proposed and formulated by Grice. It expresses that in making a conversation, the participants must first of all be willing to cooperate; otherwise, it would not be possible for them to carry on the talk. It goes like this: “ make your conversational contribution su

26、ch as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged“. This principle can be further specified as the four following maxims; Quantity, Quality, Relation, Manner.)解析：16.Violation of maxims（北京交通大学 2006 研)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(

27、正确答案：There are circumstances where speakers may not follow the maxims of the cooperative principle. For example, in conversation, a speaker may violate the maxim expectations by using an expression like “ No comment“ in response to a question. Although it is typically not “ as informative as is requ

28、ired“ in the context, it is naturally interpreted as communicating more than is said(i. e. the speaker knows the answer). This typical reaction to any apparent violation of the maxims is actually the key to the notion of conversational implicature. When we violate any of these maxims , our language

29、becomes indirect. In this way, we can convey more than is literally said. For example, there is violation of the first maxim of Quantity, and sometimes the first Quantity maxim can be in conflict with the Quality maxim.)解析：17.coherence /cohesion(浙江大学 2004 研)（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Cohesion refers to th

31、 Coherence, on the other hand, refers to the quality of a discourse which makes it a connected text coherent to the context, not a series of juxtaposed sentences.)解析：18.adjacency pairs（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：Adjacency pair is a sequence of two related utterances by two different speakers.

32、terance is always a response to the first. It has five properties: Adjacency pairs consist of two utterances, a first part and a second part. The two parts are spoken by different speakers. The first and second parts belong to specific types, for example, question and answer, or greeting and greetin

33、g. The form and content of the second part depends on the type of the first part. Given that a speaker has produced a first part, the second part is relevant and expectable as the next utterance.)解析：19.preference structure（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案：There are many responses to questions which are not answe

34、rs but which count as second parts. This structural likelihood is called preference. Preference structure divides second parts into preferred and dispreferred.
