43、不同语音环境中的实现方式被称为该音位的音位变体。l和 都是音位l的变体，前者出现在元音前，后者出现在元音后，两者处于互补分布中，不出现在相同的环境中。如果两个音素出现在一个相同的语音环境中，并不区别意义，即用一个音素替换另一个音素不产生一个新词，仅仅产生同一个词的不同读音，那么这两个音素处于自由变体。2 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查回指和回指语。回指(anaphora)是指一个(往往是简略的)语言表达式用来指代同一篇章中(通常是上文已经出现过的，但也不排除是下文中的)另一个语言表达式所表达的意义或事物，其中前一个表达式叫做回指语(anaphor)。回指语从狭义上来理解，只包括 mysel

44、f 这样的反身代词和 each other 这样的相互代词。3 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查语言与社会的关系。语言不是一种孤立的现象，而是人类在一定的社会环境下进行的一种社会活动。4 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查词干。词干指能加屈折词缀的语素(组合)，它相当于词根或词根加派生词缀。5 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查同义关系。两个有相同语义成分的单词或词组之间是同义关系。6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查元音和辅音。音段分为辅音和元音两类。声道的某些部位受到压缩或阻碍后，气流在口腔内转向、受阻或完全被阻挡，由此产生辅音。相反，元音不受这样的阻碍，所以也不会有气流的紊乱或停滞。

45、辅音分类时要考虑发音器官之间的关系，气流经过声道的某些部位时的方式以及声道的哪些部位产生气流的摩擦。7 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查音位和语素之间的对应。一个音位可能代表一个语素，但是两者之间并不对等。8 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查性别对比。英语中的性别对比只出现在代词和少数几个名词之中，而且都是很自然的性别类型。9 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查音位。音位是语音中的最小单位，它还可以再分，因为它具备一套区别性特征。10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查词的定义。词是一组形式之下的共同要素，是词汇的单位，是一个词条，或是一个词位。11 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查神经

46、认知(语言认知结构)和心理语言学。心理语言学是对语言心理方面的研究，通常研究的是与语言行为相关的心理状态和思维活动。作为语言学和心理学的交叉学科，心理语言学主要有以下六个研究方向：语言习得、语言理解、语言输出、语言混乱、语言和思维、语言认知结构。12 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查言内行为。发话行为是“说话”这一行为本身，它大体与传统意义上的“意指”相同，即指发出语音、音节，说出单词、短语和句子等。13 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查多语素词和复合词。复合词指那些由一个以上的词汇语素构成的词，或者由两个独立的词连接起来构成的新的形式。有些多语素词是复合词。14 【正确答案】 A【试题解

47、析】 考查英语中的流音。气流在口腔中部分受阻，但还不至于引起摩擦，气流可以从舌尖、两侧或口腔上部逸出而形成的音，称为流音。英语中流音有l和r。15 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查乔姆斯基的转换生成语法。乔姆斯基的转换生成语法不同于布龙菲尔德派系的语言学和行为主义者的观点，他对这两者提出了挑战。他在哲学上遵循的是理性主义，而在心理学上遵循的是心灵主义。16 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查话语。话语指运用中的语言。其构造单位相当于句子或大于句子，是特定社会语境中人与人之间从事沟通的具体言语行为，即一定的说话人与受话人之间在特定社会语境中通过文本而展开的沟通活动，包括说话人、受话人、文本、沟

48、通、语境等要素。它并不指向某个具体句子等，而是与语义研究角度相关。17 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查预设。预设是一个命题以另一个命题为先决条件的意义关系。如果 A 命题为真，B 命题必为真。例如，“麦克的 MP3 需要修理”预设“麦克有MP3”。18 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查语料库。语料库是一个语言数据的存储，可以被编辑为书面文本，也可以被作为录音言语的誊本。19 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 考查语言的二重性。二重性指拥有两层结构的这种特性，底层结构是上层结构的组成成分，每层都有自身的组合规则。底层结构由一些本身没有意义的语音组成，但是它们可以各自组合成有意义的单位，从而形成具有独特、确定意义的上层单位。上层单位能够被组合或重新组合成特定数量的句子。20 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 考查主位和述位。布拉格学派的语言学家们认为一个句子总是包含有出发点和核心。话语的出发点是说话人和听话人都知道的东西，即已知信息，这是他们的共同点，是他们交会的地方，叫做主位(theme)；而话语的核心，是对听话人来说意义重大的信息，叫做述位(theme)。二、填空题21 【正确答案】 performative【试题解析】 考查语言的施为功能。语言的施为功能主要是为了改变人物的社会地位。22 【正确答案】 Innate【试题解析】 考查乔姆斯基的天赋假设。乔姆
