前言

  社會語言學(xué)是語言學(xué)中的重要研究成果領(lǐng)域或分支之一,雖然確立至今只有不到40年的歷史,卻因其獨特的學(xué)科性質(zhì)和極強的發(fā)展能力而備受關(guān)注。目前,社會語言學(xué)已經(jīng)和句法學(xué)、音系學(xué)、語義學(xué)等一起,成為許多大學(xué)語言學(xué)專業(yè)的核心課程。國外學(xué)者編著出版的社會語言學(xué)教程雖各具特色,然與我國的英語教育教學(xué)關(guān)系不夠緊密;由國內(nèi)學(xué)者編著出版的社會語言學(xué)教程/著作大都用中文編寫,并不十分適用于英語專業(yè)研究生課程教科書而只能作為課程參考書?! ∩鐣Z言學(xué)主要研究的是語言的變異、變體、語言使用習(xí)慣上的差異,以及造成這些變異、變體及差異的社會文化因素。因此我認(rèn)為,開設(shè)社會語言學(xué)這門課程的目的是:(1)向?qū)W生介紹作為世界通用語在不同的社會交際中、在跨文化交際中頻繁使用的英語與社會、文化、交際、語境等方面的關(guān)系;(2)強調(diào)語言使用者必須掌握語言的社會功能、語言的變體、語言的變遷、語言的層次、語言的風(fēng)格、語言使用的不同方式;(3)從社會語言學(xué)角度,觀察英語、強化英語實踐的能力,提高英語掌握的層次,指導(dǎo)英語實踐。這三點也構(gòu)成我擬編本教材的主導(dǎo)思想?! ”緯闹饕x者是英語語言學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)生、語言研究者和語言教師,所以除了介紹一些社會語言學(xué)的基本概念以外,本書還運用社會語言學(xué)理論深入地討論英語學(xué)習(xí)中的實際問題。本書共分10個章節(jié)。第l章緒論:從社會語言學(xué)的興起與現(xiàn)狀,社會語言學(xué)的研究對象、研究范圍和目標(biāo),語言與社會的關(guān)系以及社會語言學(xué)與英語學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)系等方面去概述什么是社會語言學(xué),并對全書框架作簡要介紹。第2章語言的變化:介紹了社會語言學(xué)中的一些基本概念,如“語項”、“變異”、“變體”、“變項”、“變式”、“語言社團”、“語言網(wǎng)絡(luò)”。通過語音、詞匯、語法、語義上種種變異,分析了語言變化的實質(zhì)與產(chǎn)生變化的原因。第3章語言變化空間與范圍:介紹了方言、土語、共通語、口音、同言線、方言連續(xù)統(tǒng)等概述,討論了語言與方言的區(qū)別與聯(lián)系以及標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語、洋涇浜語、克里奧語、語言的消失與復(fù)蘇等問題。第4章語言與性別:分析了語言中的性別語言、性別歧視現(xiàn)象與因素,并推而廣之指出英語中存在語言偏見現(xiàn)象。第5章英語世界里的英語變體:分析并討論了各種社會因素影響人們選擇和使用特定的語言形式以及黑人英語的形成與特點、形成好英語和壞英語的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),譬如,不同的區(qū)域和社會階層方面的相關(guān)因素影響人們使用語言時的發(fā)音、句法和詞語特征,以及社會規(guī)范影響不同性別的話語模式和交際風(fēng)格等等。

內(nèi)容概要

語言是社會組合的工具。社會語言學(xué)對語言現(xiàn)象的一個基本認(rèn)識是語言的變異性。本書著重研究語言與社會、語言與文化、語言與風(fēng)格、語言與交際、語言與語境的關(guān)系;從社會語言學(xué)角度觀察英語特點;幫助英語學(xué)習(xí)者了解在跨文化交際方面的知識,掌握英語技能,指導(dǎo)英語實踐。    本書可作為英語專業(yè)本科生和研究生的教材,亦適用于英語學(xué)習(xí)者和英語愛好者,對英語教師和英語工作者也有較高的參考價值。

章節(jié)摘錄

  On most occasions, people imitate the speech of those who are in higher social positions. At the same time, many upper classes also borrow slang vocabulary from lower classes, especially the youth from the higher social groups who often imitate the pronunciation or informal discourse of the lower strata. For example, in Australia the lower class people are fond of using high-rise terminal in declarative sentences as they treat a question, which is thought as vulgar and full of vernacular features by the older generation. However, many youth from the higher strata would strive to be the first in imitating it.  Different discourse styles of male and female form another important factor generating language variation. We will discuss the relationship between language and gender in chapter 4. Holmes ( 1998 ) points out that in general, women tend to introduce the prestige forms, whereas men tend to lead changes in the opposite direction, introducing new vernacular forms. Women use more standard but less vernacular forms than men. Holmes once made an investigation in a Spanish countryside and found that many women there tired of farming, went to city and began imitating standard language after they found jobs in the city ( even as baby-sitters, they could contact middle class employers). In contrast, many city upper-working class men often adopted informal forms of middle or lower-working class men, including vulgar of swear words or taboo words.
