Diachronic(historical)linguistics(历时语言学):

▲“如果我们能了解所有个人头脑中的语言形象,我们就能知道形成语言的社会因素。
社会是一个储藏室,里面满是既定社团的各个成员,他们积极地使用语言这个语法系统,这个系统是存在于每个大脑中,或者,更具体地说,是在一群人的大脑中的潜力。
每个说话者的语言都是不完整的;
语言只有在集合中才是完整的。
把语言从言语中分离出来的同时也就区分了
(1)社会和个人;
和
(2)主要的和次要的或者说是偶然的。

Whatislanguage?
Sapir,1921(anAmericanlinguist):
“Languageisapurelyhumanandnon-instinctivemethodofcommunicatingideas,emotionsanddesiresbymeansofvoluntarilyproducedsymbols.”(强调function;
缺乏properties)
语言是人类独有的用任意创造出来的符号系统进行交流思想,感情和愿望的非本能的方法.
Chomsky,1957(anAmericanlinguist):
“FromnowonIwillconsideralanguagetobeaset(finiteorinfinite)ofsentences;
eachfiniteinlengthandconstructedoutofafinitesetofelements.”(强调form;
缺乏function)

语言对人类至关重要,但很难具体阐述是什么使我们的语言优于动物的”语言”。
Birdsingsandbeedances它们也是在使用语言吗?
实际上不是。
罗素(BertrandRussell)曾经说过:
不管一只狗可以多么流利地bark,它无法告诉你它的父母贫穷但诚实。
那么,是什么是它区别与其他物种所使用的“语言”?

2.Arbitrariness(任意性):
theformsoflinguisticsignsbearnonaturalrelationshiptotheirmeaning.Thereisnologicalrelationshipbetweenmeaningsandsounds.
由Saussure最先提出,已被人们广为接受。
语言符号的形式与意义之间没有自然的联系。

任意性赋予语言潜在的创造力,而语言的约定性又使语言学习变得费力。
约定性比任意性更值得注意。
3.Duality(doublearticulation):
“Dualityreferstothepropertyofhavingtwolevelsofstructures,unitsofthelevelbeingcomposedofelementsofthesecondarylevelandeachlevelhavingitsownprinciplesoforganization.”(Lyons,1981:
20)
“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部分,每层都有自身的组合规律。
”(莱昂斯)
