5、了各个单元旳核心内容。同窗们在学习时可以参照。Unit 1 Awareness of Our Language In English, when we use the word language without an indefinite or definite article, like “Language is a tool of communication”, it means any language or all languages put together. Here is the first important point about this book: It is about
6、 language, not confined to any particular language. When English and Chinese are being talked about, they are used as two specific examples of language. So the title of Unit 1 reads: Awareness of Our Languag. In this context it means any language we as humans speak: It can be Chinese, or English, or
7、 French, or German, or Japanese, or Russian, or many others, of course.To summarize Unit 1 in one sentence, this sentence will be: we must appreciate the fact that we owe our humanity and civilization to language. Other animals can beat us in many different ways, but what makes us superior to all of
8、 them is our possession of language. In this unit we also attempt to seek an answer to the question: Is language inside or outside the brain? It is known as the nature-nurture controversy. The position we adopt is: humans are born with language capacity that enables them to acquire language, any lan
9、guage, during their formative years. They can also learn any foreign language through efforts in their adulthood.Unit 2 Physical aspects of language. The key points of this unit are: what we hear, and what we read about are physical aspects of language: they are physical representations of language.
10、 Language can also be represented in many other ways such as Braille and British manual alphabet. Speech sounds are given a detailed discussion, considering the fact that most of our learners are either in-service teachers or would-be teachers. Unit 3 The symbolic nature of language This is the most
11、 difficult unit, and at the same time a very important one. From Unit 1 we know that other animals including our closest cousins - chimpanzees and apes, cannot learn a human language. What makes human language so unique is its symbolic nature. Language in its symbolic nature cannot be heard, or read
12、, or seen or touched. We have to find ways (i.e. media) to make it tangible to us. So as a linguist, our job is to see the true nature of language through its media. To help you understand this point, you can think of a situation like this: different media such as sounds, writing systems, Braille, s
13、igns, etc. are like different colourful skins that wrap language up. Unit 3 is to peel the colourful skins off to reveal the true nature. The best way to summarize this unit is the graphic picture on page 97, about the relationship between the abstract form / abstract existence and material existenc
14、e. Unit 4 Language function 1: organizing our experiences of the material world Up to now, we can see language as an abstract entity with tangible skins. From Unit 4 onwards, the focus of our attention is on what sort of things we do in using language. Technically we call such understanding of langu
15、age as functional analysis. There are four major functions which are discussed in four units. Unit 4 is on the function of organizing our experiences of the material world. We experience an object through our senses. This experience is vague, slippery and temporary. We use language to make it clear,
16、 frozen and stored for future use.The figure on page 150 shows how different people experience the same thing differently. Unit 5 Language function 2: doing things with language This unit introduces the notion of speech acts. We do speech acts all the time everyday: we make a request, ask a question, invite someone to dinner, apologize for being late, etc., etc. Unit 6 Language functi
