h.同形异义是指意义不同的词有着相同的语言形式的现象，即不同的词发音上或拼写上，或者两个方面都相同。lWhentwowordsareidenticalinsound,theyarehomophones.两个单词在发音上相同时，叫同音异义词。lWhentwowordsareidenticalinspelling,theyarehomographs.两个单词在拼写上相同时，叫同形异义词。lWhentwowordsareidenticalinbothsoundandspelling,theyarecompletehomonyms.两个单词在发音和拼写上都相同时，叫完全同形异义词。示例：同音异义词：rain/reign;night/knight;piece/peace同形异义词：bowv./bown.;tearv./tearn.;leadv./leadn.完全同形异义词：fastadj./fastv.;scalen./scalev.\n4）Hyponymy上下义关系Hyponymyreferstothesenserelationbetweenamoregeneralmoreinclusivewordandamorespecificword.Thewordwhichismoregeneralinmeaningiscalledthesuper-ordinate,andthemorespecificwordsarecalleditshyponyms.Hyponymsofthesamesuper-ordinateareco-hyponymstoeachother.上下义关系是指一个具有一般性、包容性的词与一个更为具体的词之间的意义关系。意义更具有一般性的词叫上义词，意义更为具体的词叫下义词。同一个上义词的多个下义词叫并列下义词。示例：上义词：flower下义词：rose（玫瑰花）,tulip（郁金香）,carnation（康乃馨）,lily（百合花）,morningglory（牵牛花）上义词：animal下义词：dog,cat,tiger,lion,wolf,elephant,fax,bear 5）Antonymy反义关系 Thetermantonymyisusedforoppositenessofmeaning,wordsthatareoppositeinmeaningareantonyms.反义关系用以指意义的相反。意义上相反的词叫反义词。①Gradableantonyms分级反义词Someantonymsaregradablebecausethereareoftenintermediateformsbetweenthetwomembersofapair.Soitisamatterofdegree.一些反义词是级别上的对立，因为一对这样的反义词中间常有其它表示程度的词。意义相反实际上只是程度问题。示例：Old和young是反义词，但它们代表两个极端，中间还存在着代表年老和年轻的不同程度的其它语言形式，如middle-aged,mature,elderly.② Complementaryantonyms互补反义词Apairofcomplementaryantonymsischaracterizedbythefeaturethatthedenialofonememberofthepairimpliestheassertionoftheother.\n互补反义词具有这样的特征，否定其中一个就意味着肯定另一个。也就是说，是一个非此即彼、非彼即此的问题。示例：Male/female  alive/dead③Relationalopposites关系反义词Pairsofwordsthatexhibitthereversalofarelationshipbetweenthetwoitemsarecalledrelationalopposites.在意义上现实出逆向关系的一对词语叫关系反义词。示例：wife/husband father/son  teacher/pupil doctor/patient buy/sell above/below5.5Senserelationsbetweensentences句子间的意义关系1)XissynonymouswithY.  X和Y是同义关系示例：X:Heisabachelorallhislife.Y:Henevermarriedallhislife.如果X是真的，Y也是真的，如果X是假的，Y也是假的。2) XisinconsistentwithY.X和Y是前后矛盾关系示例：X:Johnismarried.Y:Johnisabachelor.如果X是真的，Y就是假的，如果X是假的，Y就是真的。3)XentailsY(YisanentailmentofX)X蕴涵Y(Y是X的蕴涵)示例：X:Johnmarriedablondheiress(女继承人).Y:Johnmarriedablond.蕴涵是一种包含关系。如果X蕴涵Y，X的意义就为Y所包含。4)XpresupposesY.(YisaprerequisiteofX)X预示Y(Y是X的先决条件)示例：X:John’sbikeneedsrepairing.Y:Johnhasabike.5)Xisacontradiction.X是个矛盾句示例：X:Myunmarriedsisterismarriedtobachelor.X句子本身自相矛盾，它永远是假的。 6)Xissemanticallyanomalous.句子X在语义上反常\n示例：X:Thetablehasbadintentions.X在语义上反常，它就是荒唐的。5.6Analysisofmeaning语义分析1)  Componentialanalysis–awaytoanalyzelexicalmeaning语义成分分析法－一种词义分析法Theapproachisbaseduponthebeliefthatthemeaningofawordcanbedissectedintomeaningcomponents,calledsemanticfeatures.Plusandminussignsareusedtoindicatewhetheracertainsemanticfeatureispresentorabsentinthemeaningofaword,andthesefeaturesymbolsareusuallywrittenincapitalizedletters.一个单词的意义可以分析为被称作语义特征的意义成分。用加减号来表示某一语义特征在一个词义中是存在还是省缺，这些特征符号通常用大写字母来表示。 Oneadvantageofcomponentialanalysisisthatbyspecifyingthesemanticfeaturesofcertainwords,itwillbepossibletoshowhowthesewordsarerelatedinmeaning.成分分析的一个好处是，通过列出某些单词的语义特征，就可能显示这些单词在意义上有什么联系。示例：Man和woman这两个单词有＋HUMAN,+ADULT,+ANIMATE这些共同的特征，但在MALE这一特征上不同。Man和boy这两个单词有＋HUMAN,+ANIMATE,+MALE这些共同的特征，但在ADULT这一特征上不同。2)  Predicationanalysis–awaytoanalyzesentencemeaning述谓结构分析－一种句义分析法Linguistshaveproposeddifferentwaystoanalyzethemeaningofsentences.Theymightdifferintheirframeworkofanalysis,buttheysharetheaimtoabstractthemeaningofsentences.WhatwearegoingtointroducebrieflyisthepredicationanalysisproposedbythelinguistGLeech.语言学家们提出了不同的分析句子意义的方法。他们的分析基准体系可能有所不同，但他们的目标都是使句子意义抽象化。我们现在要介绍的是英国语言学家G里奇提出的述谓结构分析法。\nIngrammaticalanalysis,thesentenceistakentobethebasicunit,anditisanalyzedintosuchgrammaticalcomponentsassubject,predicate,andattribute.对句子进行语法分析时，句子被视为基本单位，它被分析谓诸如主谓语和定语这样的语法成分。Insemanticanalysisofasentence,thebasicunitiscalledpredication,whichistheabstractionofthemeaningofasentence.Thisappliestoallformsofsentence,includingstatements,imperativeandinterrogativeforms.对句子进行意义分析时，基本单位称为述谓，这是对句子意义的抽象化。这一方法适用于所有句式，包括陈述句、祈使句和疑问句。Apredicationconsistsofargument(s)andpredicate.Anargumentisalogicalparticipantinapredication,largelyidenticalwiththenominalelement(s)inasentence.Apredicateissomethingsaidaboutanargumentoritstatesthelogicalrelationlinkingtheargumentsnasentence.一个述谓由一个或数个论元和一个谓词组成。一个论元是一个述谓的一个逻辑参与者，与一个句子中的一个或数个名词性成分大体一致。一个谓词是关于论元的陈述，或者说明一个句子的论元间的逻辑关系。句子的语法形式不影响其语义述谓，下列所有句子具有同样的述谓：Tomsmokes.Tomissmoking.Tomhasbeensmoking.Tom,smoke!DoesTomsmoke?这是同一语义述谓TOM(SMOKE)在语法上的多种体现。Accordingtothenumberofargumentscontainedinapredication,weclassifythepredicationsintotwo-placepredication(containingtwoarguments),one-placepredication(containingoneargument),andno-placepredication(containingnoargument).\n根据一个述谓中所包含的论元的数目，我们把述谓结构分为两位述谓结构（包含两个论元）、单位述谓结构（包含一个论元）和零位述谓结构（没有论元）示例：Thebuildingisnexttothelibrary.(Two-placepredication)Heissnoring.(One-placepredication)Itislate.(No-placepredication)Chapter6Pragmatics6.1  Whatispragmatics?什么是语用学？Pragmaticscanbedefinedasthestudyofhowspeakersofalanguageusesentencestoeffectsuccessfulcommunication.语用学研究的是说某种语言的人怎样用句子去实现成功的交际。Astheprocessofcommunicatio
