The meaning of the word and problem of meaning - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

All
linguistic units except phonemes have meaning of a certain kind.The
problem of meaning is on of the most important problem in lexicology.

The branch
of lexicology that is devoted to the study of meanings is called
semasiology.Semasiology deals with the following main problems.
Semantic development of words,its cases and classification,types of
meaning,polysemy and semantic structure of words,semantic groupings
and connections in the vocabulary system(synonyms,antonyms).Meanig is
one of the most controversial problems in the theory og
language.There is no universially excepted definition of the term
meaning. Some scholars pr. Arnold for one defines it as
follows.meaning is the realization of the notion by means of a
definite language system.There are 2 main points of view on the
problem,2 approaches for the problem of
meaning:1)referential,2)befunctional.The referential approaches is
characterized by the thought that the essence of meaning lies in the
interdependence between such components as sound form,
thing(referent) and concept.They ry to distinguish between 3
components closely connected with meaning sound form of a linguistic
sign,the concept underlying this sound form and actual
referent(thing). They try to find in what relations these
components stand.This idea is expressed in the referential modal of
meaning.Sound form of a linguistic sign is connected with our concept
of a thing which it denotes and through it with the referent the real
thing.The characteristic feature of any referential approach is the
idea that mea meaning in some form or other connected with the
referent and theay try to find where the place of meanings in this
modal.It’s clear that sound form is nit identical with its meaning,
the connection between sound form and the meaning is
conventional(условный).This can be proved by comparing sound
forms of different languages,conveying one and the same
meaning.On the other hand words that sound the same in different
languages have different meanings(cot-маленькая передвижная
десткая кроватка,кот-кот).The meaning of a word
is not identical with the concept either.Concept is a category of
logic. Concept is the tought of the object that singles out is a is a
essential features. So,concept denotes the reflexion in the mind of
real objects and phenomena in theit essential features and
relations.Concepts are always emotionally neutral.There are 2 types
of concepts:real and unreal.Real concepts reflect reality
correctly:man,sky,table.Unreal concepts denote things which do not
exist in reality(nermayed-русалка,wich,devil).The concept
exist only because it’s expressed by the word,but the word and the
concept are not equal.The concept generalizes the signs of a thing.
The word names the given thing. One and the same word may express a
general concept or a concrete concept, when we say the telephone is a
useful invention we generalize about all telephones,but when we say
the telephone is out of order we mean one concrete telephone.The
thing(referent) can’t be identified with meaning either. The thing
exist in reality and belongs to the category of reality which is
beyond the scope of language.Meaning is a category of language
and language expresses all possible aspects of human
consciousness.Therefore the meaning of many words not only conveys
some reflexion of objective reality but also the speaker’s attitude
and state of his mind to what he is speaking about.The meanings of
words are different in different languages.Words expressinfgidentical
concepts may have different semantic structures in different
languages.Let’s take the concept дом in
Russian(здание,семья,очаг).In English
house-здание,home-семья,очаг,дом.We can easily see
the difference between meaning and concept if we compare synonyms and
phrases(to die0to pass away,to kick the bucket).Thus we see the all
these components sound form, concept,thing(referent) meaning are
related but exist in different spheares and are different
categories.The things belongs to reality,the concept to the category
of thinking and meaning exists in the word and belongs to the
category of language.2)Functional approach.It presupposes that the
meaning of a linguistic unit may be studied only through its relation
to the other linguistic units not through its relation to either
concept or referent.Meaning is understood as the function of the use
of linguistic signs in contexts. Meaning of the functional approach
is regarded as the function of distribution. Distribution is the
position of a linguistic sign in relation to the other linguistis
signs.They draw a long net. They net a frogman.

GRAMMATICAL MEANING OF THE WOR

1. The problem of word definition. 2. The notion of the word-form. 3. The notion of «grammatical meaning». 4. Types of grammatical meaning. 5. The notion of «grammatical category». 6. The notion of «opposition».

1. The Problem of Word Definition The word is considered to be the central (though not the only) linguistic unit of language.

The Problem of Word Definition In the written language words are clearly identified by spaces between them.

The Problem of Word Definition In the spoken language the problem cannot be solved this way. ↓ If we listen to an unfamiliar language, we find it difficult to divide up the speech into single words.

The Problem of Word Definition Approaches to the problem of word definition: 1) the word is a semantic unit, a unit of meaning; 2) the word is a marked phonological unit; 3) the word is an indivisible unit.

The Problem of Word Definition Semantic definition of the word: “… a unit of a particular meaning with a particular complex of sounds capable of a particular grammatical employment «. ↓ The word is a linguistic unit that has a single meaning.

The Problem of Word Definition BUT: heavy smoker ≠ heavy and smoker criminal lawyer; the King of England’s hat.

The Problem of Word Definition The problem: the word is not always a single unit.

The Problem of Word Definition A phonological criterion that stuff that’s tough a nice cake an ice cake grey day Grade A ↓

The Problem of Word Definition It is hard to distinguish the real meaning without a proper context.

The Problem of Word Definition The word as an indivisible unit “ The word is a minimum free form “ (L. Bloomfield) ↓ The word is the smallest unit of speech that can occur in isolation.

The Problem of Word Definition BUT: a or the

The Problem of Word Definition Thus, the word is a linguistic unit larger than a morpheme but smaller than a phrase.

The Problem of Word Definition In this case the word can be defined as: • An orthographic word (something written with white spaces at both ends but no white space in the middle).

The Problem of Word Definition • A phonological word (something pronounced as a single unit).

The Problem of Word Definition • A lexical item, or lexeme, (a dictionary word).

The Problem of Word Definition • A grammatical word-form (GWF) (or morphosyntactic word ) (any one of the several forms which a lexical item may assume for grammatical purposes).

The Problem of Word Definition The item ice cream is: — two orthographic words, but — a single phonological word (it is pronounced as a unit), — a single lexical item (it has its own entry in a dictionary), — a single GWF (indeed, it hardly has another form unless you think the plural ice cream is good English).

The Problem of Word Definition The singular dog and the plural dogs : — a single orthographic word, — a single phonological word, — a single GWF, but they both — represent the same lexical item (only one entry in the dictionary).

The Problem of Word Definition ? ? ? take, takes, took, taken, is taking :

The Problem of Word Definition take, takes, took, taken and is taking : — five orthographic words, — five phonological words, — five GWFs (at least), but only — one lexical item.

The Problem of Word Definition ? ? ? the contraction hasn’t

The Problem of Word Definition The contraction hasn’t is: — a single orthographic word, — a single phonological word, — two lexical items ( have and not), — two GWFs ( has and not).

The Problem of Word Definition ? ? ? The phrasal verb make up (as in She made up her face)

The Problem of Word Definition The phrasal verb make up (as in She made up her face) : — two orthographic words, — two phonological words, — one lexical item (because of its unpredictable meaning, it must be entered separately in the dictionary). — has several GWFs ( make up, makes up, made up, making up).

The Problem of Word Definition ? ? ? make up ( She made up a story)

The Problem of Word Definition make up ( She made up a story) : — a different lexical item from the preceding one (a separate dictionary entry is required), but — this lexical item exhibits the same orthographic, phonological and grammatical forms as the first.

The Problem of Word Definition So, the word is not a clearly definable linguistic unit.

The Problem of Word Definition For the sake of linguistic description, we will proceed from the following statements: — the word is a meaningful unit differentiating word-groups at the upper level and integrating morphemes at the lower level;

The Problem of Word Definition — the word is the main expressive unit of human language, which ensures the thought-forming function of language;

The Problem of Word Definition — the word It is also the basic nominative unit of language with the help of which the naming function of language is realized;

The Problem of Word Definition — in the structure of language the word belongs to the upper stage of the morphological level;

The Problem of Word Definition — the word is a unit of the sphere of «language» and it exists only through its speech actualization;

The Problem of Word Definition — one of the most characteristic features of the word is its indivisibility.

The Problem of Word Definition — the word is a bilateral entity concept WORD = ———— sound image

2. The Notion of the Word -Form The term «word-form“ shows that the word is a carrier of grammatical information. E. g. : speaks — the present tense third person singular speak, spoke, is speaking ↓ Here the relational property of grammatical meaning is revealed.

The Notion of the Word -Form Grammatical meanings of a word-form are very abstract and general. They are peculiar of a whole class of words, unite it so that each word of the class expresses the corresponding grammatical meaning together with its individual, concrete semantics.

The Notion of the Word -Form E. g. : the meaning of the plural is rendered by the regular plural suffix –(e)s, phonemic interchange and a few lexeme-bound suffixes.

The Notion of the Word -Form Due to the generalized character of the plural, we say that different groups of nouns «take» this form with strictly defined variations in the mode of expression. The variations can be of more systemic ( phonological conditioning ) and less systemic ( etymological conditioning ) nature.

The Notion of the Word -Form Cf. : faces, branches, matches, judges; books, rockets, boats, chiefs, proofs; dogs, beads, films, stones, hens; lives, wives, thieves, leaves; oxen, children, brethren; swine, sheep, deer; men, women, feet, teeth, geese, mice, lice; formulae, antennae; data, errata, strata, addenda, memoranda; radii, genii, nuclei; crises, bases, analyses, axes; phenomena, criteria.

The Notion of the Word -Form The lexical meaning of the word is irrelevant for the detection of the type of the word-form.

The Notion of the Word -Form A word-form may be analytical by structure. In this case it is equivalent to one word as it expresses one unified content of a word, both from the point of view of grammatical and lexical meaning. E. g. : has spoken

The Notion of the Word -Form Words (as well as morphemes) are directly observable units by nature as they are characterized by a definite material structure of their own. They can be registered and enumerated in any language.

The Notion of the Word -Form The system of morphological units is a closed system. It means that all its items are on the surface and can be embraced in an inventory of forms.

The Notion of the Word -Form Every word is a unit of grammar as a part of speech.

The Notion of the Word -Form Parts of speech are usually considered a lexico-grammatical categories since: — they show lexical groupings of words; — these groupings present generalized classes, each with a unified, abstract meaning of its own.

3. The Notion of Grammatical Meaning Notional words combine two meanings in their semantic structure: — lexical; — grammatical.

The Notion of Grammatical Meaning Lexical meaning is the individual meaning of the word E. g. : table — a definite piece of furniture with a flat top supported by one or more upright legs, speak – to express thoughts aloud, using the voice.

The Notion of Grammatical Meaning Grammatical (morphological) meaning is not individual. ↓ It is the meaning of the whole class or a subclass E. g. : table (grammatical meaning of the class of nouns ( thingness / substance ) and the grammatical meaning of a subclass – countableness ).

? What are grammatical meanings of: — verbs; — adjectives; — adverbs?

The Notion of Grammatical Meaning There are some classes of words that are devoid of any lexical meaning and possess the grammatical meaning only.

? ? ? What are they?

The Notion of Grammatical Meaning Function words

4. Types of Grammatical Meaning The grammatical meaning may be: — explicit; — implicit.

Types of Grammatical Meaning The implicit grammatical meaning is not expressed formally E. g. : table (the meaning of inanimate object)

Types of Grammatical Meaning The explicit grammatical meaning is always marked morphologically E. g. : — s in cats ( the grammatical meaning of plurality ); ‘s in cat’s ( the grammatical meaning of possessiveness ); is …ed in is asked ( the grammatical meaning of passiveness )

Types of Grammatical Meaning Types of the implicit grammatical meaning : — general — dependent

Types of Grammatical Meaning — general ( the meaning of the whole word-class, of a part of speech) E. g. : thingness of nouns

Types of Grammatical Meaning — dependent (the meaning of a subclass within the same part of speech) E. g. : the verb (transitivity/ intransitivity, terminativeness / non-terminativeness, stativeness / non-stativeness); the noun (countableness / uncountableness, animateness / inanimateness)

Types of Grammatical Meaning The dependent grammatical meaning influences the realization of grammatical categories restricting them to a subclass. E. g. : the number category for the subclass of countable nouns; the category of case for the subclass of animated nouns; the category of voice for transitive verbs, etc.

Types of Grammatical Meaning

5. The Notion of Grammatical Category A grammatical category is a linguistic category which has the effect of modifying the forms of some class of words in a language.

The Notion of Grammatical Category Its structure displays two or more forms applied to a definite class of words and used in somewhat different grammatical circumstances. ↓↓

The Notion of Grammatical Category Grammatical categories are made up by the unity of identical grammatical meanings that have the same form and meaning E. g. singular : plural

The Notion of Grammatical Category Due to dialectal unity of language and thought, grammatical categories correlate, on the one hand, with the conceptual categories and, on the other hand, with the objective reality:

The Notion of Grammatical Category Thus, grammatical categories are references of the corresponding objective categories. E. g. : the objective category of time → the grammatical category of tense, the objective category of quantity → the grammatical category of number.

The Notion of Grammatical Category Grammatical categories that have references in the objective reality are referential. Objective correlate ↓ Lingual correlate

The Notion of Grammatical Category Grammatical categories that do not correspond to anything in the objective reality and correlate only with conceptual matters are significational. They are few (e. g. the categories of mood and degree). Conceptual correlate ↓ Lingual correlate

The Notion of Grammatical Category Classifications of Gr. Categories 1. According to the referent relation: — immanent; — reflective.

The Notion of Grammatical Category Immanent gr. categories are: 1) innate for a given lexemic class, organically connected with its functional nature E. g. : the number category of nouns, the substantive-pronominal person 2) closed within a word-class E. g. : the tense category of verbs, the comparison of adjectives and adverbs

The Notion of Grammatical Category Reflective gr. categories are of a secondary, derivative semantic value E. g. : the number category of verbs, the verbal person

The Notion of Grammatical Category 2. According to the changeability of the exposed feature — unchangeable / derivational (constant feature categories) E. g. : the gender category of nouns represented by the system of the 3 rd person pronouns — changeable / demutative (variable feature categories) E. g. : the number category of nouns, the degrees of comparison

The Notion of Grammatical Category NB: 1. The notion of grammatical category applies to the plane of content of morphological paradigmatic units;

The Notion of Grammatical Category 2. It refers to grammatical meaning as a general notion;

The Notion of Grammatical Category 3. It does not nominate things but expresses relations, that is why it has to be studied in terms of oppositions;

The Notion of Grammatical Category 4. Grammatical categories of language represent a realization of universal categories produced by human thinking in a set of interrelated forms organized as oppositions;

The Notion of Grammatical Category 5. Grammatical categories are not uniform, they vary in accordance with the part of speech they belong to and the meaning they express;

The Notion of Grammatical Category 6. The expression of grammatical categories in language is based upon close interrelation between their forms and the meaning they convey.

6. The Notion of Opposition The concept of opposition is that it distinguishes something. ↓

The Notion of Opposition One thing can be distinguished from another only if it can be contrasted with something else or opposed to it.

The Notion of Opposition Any grammatical category must be represented by at least two grammatical forms E. g. the grammatical category of number : singular and plural forms.

The Notion of Opposition Thus, the relation between two grammatical forms that differ in meaning and external signs is called opposition.

The Notion of Opposition The most widely known opposition is the binary «privative» opposition. In it one member of the contrastive pair is characterized by the presence of a certain feature which the other member lacks

The Notion of Opposition E. g. table: : tables ↓ “ unmarked” “marked” (weak) member (strong) member ↓ non -plural ↓ more general and abstract more particular and concrete (used in a wider range of contexts)

The Notion of Opposition FYI: Some scholars, however, hold the opinion that oppositions can be — gradual (different degree of a feature) E. g. : big — bigger — biggest — equipollent (different positive features) E. g. : am — is — are.

The Notion of Opposition NB: A grammatical category is definable only on the basis of oppositions.

The Notion of Opposition Means of realization of grammatical categories: — synthetic (near — near er ); — analytical (beautiful — more beautiful).
