1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上 Chapter 1 The Structure of the English Sentence(第一章 绪 论)一、 难点、重点1. Present the grammatical units that form a hierarchical order. (指出构成层次结构的语法单位.)英语句子的结构层次是：分句(clauses)、词组(phrases)、单词(words)，图示如下： 高级层次 句子(由一个或多个分句组成) 分句(由一个或多个词组组成) 词组(由一个或多个词组成) 低级层次 词 如果从语义的角度来考虑，单词以下还可再分为词素(morphemes)

2、；句子以上还有更大的语言单位，即把句子按一定逻辑规则组织起来的语篇。所以，从超语法的角度来看，语法层次结构可以如下图所示： 高级层次 语篇(由广个或多个句子组成) 句子(由一个或多个分句组成) 分句(由一个或多个扣组组成) 词组(由一个或多个词组成) 词(由一个或多个词素组成) 低级层次 词素2 Morphemes词素 (Terms: morpheme, morph, allomorph, free morpheme and bound morpheme) （注：此部分内容的学习可以借鉴词汇学的相关内容，然而必须注意两门课程描述的不同点。）什么是词素(morpheme)?词素是语法的最小区别性

3、单位，即最低一级的语法单位。词素的语音或拼写法的体现叫形素(morph)。词素是一种抽象形式的成分，在不同的环境中一个词素可以由若干个不同的形素体现，如英语中的复数词素可以表现为s，z，iz。某一词素在不同的环境中可以用不同的变体或词素变体(allomorph)表示。所谓词素变体是指词素的非区别性变体，几个不同的变体一起构成一个词素。词素又分为自由词素和粘附词素。自由词素(free morpheme)是指本身具有完整意义，可以独立使用的词素。它可以是简单的单词，如boy，girl，do，so等，也可以是派生词的词根，如im-polite，self-ish等。自由词素具有较强的构词能力。粘附词素

4、 (bound morpheme)是指没有完整意义不能独立使用的词素。粘附词素只表示一种附加意义或语法意义，这种词素不能单独存在和使用，只有粘附在其他词素(主要是自由词素)上才能表示出它的意义。粘附词素的主要功能是在构词中充当词缀，如unfriendliness中的un-，-ly，-ness等。3.Finite clauses and infinite clauses (限定性分句与非限定性分句,定义参见下面的简答题部分)注意这里分句的概念与传统语法的区别，特别是非限定性分句。Finite Clauses(1)名词性分句 What he said was incredible.(2)关系分句

5、This is one of the best books Ive ever read. (3)状语分句 If I were in your shoes, I wouldnt quit.Non-finite clauses： (1) 非限定性名词性分句： She didnt know what to say (2)非限定性关系分句： The man standing by the window is her brother. (3) 非限定性状语分句： Published ten years ago，this is still the best dictionary二、 重要概念1. morp

6、heme (参见第一部分测试题)2. parsing：Breaking a sentence into smaller components for analysis and then grouping them into various classes in a systematic way.把一个句子中的各种词按语法范畴给出名称一如主语、宾语、动词、性、数、格等一叫做句子成分分析(parsing)。3. Define the complex sentenceThe complex sentence is a sentence that contains more than one clau

7、sethat are joined together by subordinating one to another复杂句是用从属连词(如if, when, though等)连接的一个以上分句的句子.三、 典型考题 I. 选择题1. There are ( ) morphemes in “gunfighter”. A. twoB. three C. four D. one2.

B 4. DII. 简答题1. In terms of which three factors are words classified?The three factors are: the enviro

9、nment where words occur, their internal structure and their meaning.2. Define the finite clauses and the non-finite clauses. The finite clauses are the ones that have subjects and finite verbs as predicatesThe non-finite clauses are the ones that leave subjects unsaid and verbs in non-finite forms(限

10、定分句是主语加限定动词作谓语的分句。非限定分句是省略主语而动词以非限定形式出现(主语省略是因为其前面或后面已有主语。)Chapter 2Sentence Types(第二章 句子类型)一、 难点、重点1英语句子四大类型为陈述句，疑问句，祈使句和感叹句；这四种句型分别表示提供信息，寻求信息，要求动作进行和表达说话者的情感.1. Explain the conditions in which we need to use non-assertive words in positive statements and assertive words in questions. (解释在肯定句中使用非肯

11、定词和在疑问句中使用肯定句的情况。)When a positive answer is expected, assertive words can be used in questions, such as: Would you like some more coffee? Is somebody waiting for me? And in affirmative sentences in which there are negative import, if-clauses,putative should-clauses, and comparative clauses, non-asse

12、rtive words canbe used, such as: He is too young to take any job.If anyone calls me at this moment, it must be Xiao Zhang. Its odd that the hero should say anything like that. Hes better than anyone else in this company.疑问句中如期望肯定回答,可用肯定词，在含有带否定含义的词，If-分句,should推定分句,比较分句中也可用非肯定词.3Explain the differen

13、ce between a tag question with a final rising tone and one with a final falling tone(解释附加疑问句结尾升调与降调的区别。)With a rising tone，the question expresses the speakers neutralexpectation of the hearers response and invites the hearer to verify thetruth of the proposition in the statementWith a falling tone，t

14、he speaker asks for the hearers confirmation of the statementIt can be regarded as similar to an exclamation(念升调，附加疑问句的说话者对对方的回答不是很确定；念降调，说话者期望对方证实他的陈述，有点类似于感叹句。)Examples: Lovely weather, isnt it?(Seeing the students ID) You are a student, arent you?以上两句，都应该念降调。另外，在附加疑问句中，HAVE一词也是常考的重点：You have hear

15、d me, havent you? (Auxiliary have)Mary has to live on her own, doesnt she?Tom has coffee with milk, doesnt he?(In the sense of possess, own, etc.) You have a big house, dont / havent you?4Commands1) Be patient. (Command)2) You be patient. (Emphatic effect, or to light a contrast)3) Do be patient. (T

16、o reinforce a command)4) Be patient, please! (To smooth away abruptness)5) You be patient, please!

19、red negation often occurs with are：think，believe，suppose，imagine and expectThey are the verbs that express “opinion”(转移否定经常与think，believe，suppose，imagine和expect等动词连用。这些动词都是表示“意见”的语义。)2. What are the two major types of exclamations?(感叹句的两大类型是什么?)The two major types of exclamations are WHATexclamation

20、s andHOW-exclamationsThe former is followed by a noun phrase；thelatter is followed by an adjective or adverb感叹句分为WHAT-感叹句和HOW-感叹句。前一种后接名词词组，后者接形容词或副词III完成下列句子1. Youd rather we didnt go there,_2.

42、体体系,理由有三。 第一，传统语法是以时间为参照划分英语时态的，而在处理像The train leaves at eight tomorrow morning和 They would have heard the news last night等句子时遇到麻烦，因为在语言中形式与意义是不常等同或对应的。我们将英语的时分为两时现在时和过去时，是基于对英语形态的考虑。像汉语这样没有词汇屈折变化的语言根本就没有时。 第二，时（tense，）和体（aspect）是两个彼此独立的语法范畴。前者基于词汇的屈折变化，而后者基于结构分析。由于时与体经常合用，所以导致时体不分，时指动作发生的时间而体标记动作发生

43、的状态或方式。第三，从教学角度上看，新的时体体系简单易学，还可以让学生懂得一种意义可以用不同的形式表示，一种形式也可表示不同的意义。2. Why do most contemporary English grammarians adopt a two-tense system?(当代英语语法家为什么采用两时体系?)Because tense is a verb formMorphologically，only present tense and past tense have their forms of verbsA language (such as Chinese)which has n

44、ot verb forms has no tense.(因为时态是动词的形式。从形态上讲，英语只有现在时和过去时，动词才有变化形式，所以英语是两时体系。一门语言(如汉语)如没有动词的变化形式就没有时态。)3. Why is the past tense often used for politeness?(过去时为什么常用来表示客气的语气?)Because the past tense can make a question or a statement or a suggestion less directIt is more polite to use the past tense on the part of the s
