6、sychological relevance is the account of competence, not that of performance, for anyone concerned with intellectual processes, or any question that goes beyond mere data arranging, it is the question of competence that is fundamental. . These rather obvious comments apply directly to study of langu

It emphasizes the use of a computer

11、 in both teaching and learning in order to help the learners to achieve educational objectives through their own reasoning and practice, a reflection of newly advocated autonomous learning. The first kind of CAL programs which were developed reflected principles similar to programmed instruction the

12、 computer leads the student through learning task step-by-step, asking questions to check comprehension. Depending on the students response, the computer gives the student further practice or progresses to new material.11 【正确答案】 Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) means the use of a computer in a te

13、aching program. This includes:a. A teaching program which is presented by a computer in a sequence. The student responds on the computer, and the computer indicates whether the responses are correct or incorrect.b. The use of computers to monitor student progress, to direct students into appropriate

14、 lessons, material, etc. This is also called computer-managed instruction.Parallel to CAI, there is CAL (Computer-Assistant Learning). The former aims at seeing educational problems on the part of the teacher, whereas the latter emphasizes the use of a computer in both teaching and learning in order

15、 to help the learner achieve educational objectives. The first kind of CAL programs which were developed reflected principles similar to programmed instruction. The computer leads the student through learning task step-by-step, asking questions to check comprehension. Depending on the students respo

16、nse, the computer gives the student further practice or progresses to new material (see branching). In more recent CAL courseware students are able to interact with the computer and perform higher-level tasks while exploring a subject or problem.12 【正确答案】 CALL: It is the abbreviation of computer-ass

17、isted language learning, which refers to the use of a computer in the teaching or learning of a second or foreign language. In this kind of CALL programs, the computer leads the student through a learning task step-by-step, asking question to check comprehension. Depending on the students response,

18、the computer gives the student further practice or progresses to new material.13 【正确答案】 Corpus linguistics: an approach to investigating language structure and use through the analysis of large databases to real language examples stored on computer. Issues amenable to corpus linguistics include the

19、meanings of words across registers, the distribution and function of grammatical forms and categories, the investigation of lexicon-grammatical associations, and issues in language acquisition and development.14 【正确答案】 Concordance; The computer has the ability to search for a particular word, sequen

20、ce of words, or perhaps even a part of speech in a text. The computer can also retrieve all examples of a particular word. It can also calculate the number of occurrences of a certain word so that information on the frequency of the word may be gathered. We may also be interested in sorting the data

21、 in some wayfor example, alphabetically on words occurring in the immediate context of the word. This is usually referred to as concordance.15 【正确答案】 Corpus is a collection of linguistic data, either compiled as written texts or as a transcription of recorded speech. The main purpose of a corpus is

22、to verify a hypothesis about languagefor example, to determine how the application of a particular sound, word, or syntactic construction varies.四、举例说明题16 【正确答案】 Regarding linguistics as a branch of psychology, Chomsky insisted that what should be studied is linguistic competence, not performance. A

23、s he has claimed, the description of language performance only tells what is there, and is very inadequate in telling why language performs in the way as it does, or rather, how the intellectual processes affects it.Whats more, language performance is more than often degenerated; there are false sta

24、tements, hesitations, and so on. Therefore, the corpus linguistics which is based on the language performance is somewhat distorted from the goal of linguistics. Because, according to Chomsky, what linguistics is aimed for, should be the discovering of the constants, the general principle which all

25、languages are constructed and operated as systems of communication in societies in which they are used.Therefore, he suggested the construction of universal grammar, which is the ideal knowledge of language, is what linguists should be concerned with, and the postulation of grammar based on the obse

26、rved behavior is also a distortion.17 【正确答案】 With the development of the computer technology and internet system, more and more people touched upon the computer field. Computer has been used in the classroom for foreign language teaching and learning. CAI stands for computer-assisted instruction, wh

27、ich means the use of a computer in a teaching program. CAL stands for computer-assisted learning, which means theuse of computer in both teaching and learning. Following CAI and CAL, CALL, acronym for Computer Assisted Language Learning, refers to the use of a computer in the teaching or learning of

28、 a second or foreign language. If CAI or CAL deals with teaching and learning in general, then CALL deals with language teaching and learning in particular. CALL provided a beneficial and convenient approach for language learners to improve their ability. For example, students can gain a quick acces

29、s to any materials on the internet. The computer is not an individual resource for each student any more, instead, it is a trigger for interaction between the students and it is the focus for group work which allows some activities, such as the activity role-play interaction. The use of multimedia t

30、echnology enables different information types to be simultaneously available on the computer, as a result, spoken language and moving video are produced other than mere presentation of written sentences. 18 【正确答案】 At the beginning of the new century, it is already apparent that MT and human translat

31、ion can and will co-exist in harmony. When translation has to be of “publishable“ quality, both human translation and MT have their roles.For the translation of texts where the quality of output is much less important, machine translation is often an ideal solution. It is undeniable that there are s

32、till faults in all present actual translations produced. One can still find those errors that no human translators would ever commit, such as wrong pronouns, wrong prepositions, garbled syntax, incorrect choice of terms, plurals instead of singulars, etc. Translation is not an operation that preserv

33、es meaning. Three types of knowledge are needed so that MT systems can be improved: (1) Linguistic knowledge independent of context (semantics); (2)Linguistic knowledge that relates to context, sometimes called pragmatic knowledge (pragmatics) ; (3) Common sense/real world knowledge (non-linguistic).For the one-to-one interchange of information probably always need a human translator. As for spoken language translation, there must surely always be a market for the human translator.
