VI .Answer and analyse
1、What makes linguistics a science
ANSWERSince linguistics is the scientific study of language
, it ought to
base itself upon the systematic , investigation of language data which aims at
discovering the true nature of language and its underlying system. To make sense of the data , a linguist usually has conceived some hypotheses about the language structure ， to be checked against the observed or observable facts. In order to make his analysis scientific, a linguist is usually guided by four principles: consistency ， and objectivity.
Exhaustiveness meanshe should gather all the materials relevant to the study and give them an adequate explanation , in spite of the complicatedness. He is to leave no linguistic “stone\" unturned; Consistency meansthere should be no contradiction between different parts of the total statement; Economy means a linguist should pursue brevity in the analysis whenit is possible; Objectivity implies that since some people may be subjective in the study
a linguist should be (or sound at least ) objective , matter-of-face , faithful
，
exhaustiveness ，
to reality , so that his work constitutes part of the linguistics research.
2> Describe the process of language perception, comprehension and production. ANSWER: Language perception is language awareness of things through the physical senses , language comprehension is one of the three strand of psycholinguistic research, which studies the understanding of language, language production is a goal-directed activity, in the sense that people speak and write in order to makefriends, influence people ， convey information and so on.
From the perspective of psycholinguistic analysis, language use in terms of perception, comprehension and production follows a certain pattern which involves the coordination of various language centers.
When we speak, words are drawn from Wernicke's area and transferred to Broca's area, which determines the details of their form and pronunciation. The appropriate instructions are then sent to the motor area which controls the vocal tract to physically articulate the words.
When we hear something and try to comprehend it, the stimulus from the auditory cortex is transmitted to Wernicke's area, where it is then interpreted.
When we perceive a visual image, a messageis sent to the angular gyrus, where it is converted into a visual pattern.
