现代英语语法

第一部分:引言

《现代英语语法》是由李基安先生编写,全国高等教育自学考试指导委员会指定的全国

高等教育自学考试教材。

关于这门课程的考试要求,可参见该教程第425所附录的《英语语法自学考试大纲》。大纲是方向、目标,广大考生必须仔细了解。

英语语法是关于英语语言结构的理论知识。通过该课程的学习,学员能够比较系统地认识英语从词,句到语篇的构造,从而提高他们应用英语的规范性。

在学习该教材时,学员普遍存在两种倾向:一是,由于该教材都是用英文编写,里面又涉及很多专业术语,许多学员觉得高深、难懂;二是,有些学员认为,自己从学英语开始就在学习英语语法,没有必要在这门功课上花太多的精力,所有的语法书都大同小异,自己稍做准备就能对付过去。

其实,两种看法都失偏颇。现代语法的发展与传统语法已经存在比较明显的差异,例如:传统语法认为,英语有九种(甚至十六种)时态,该教程则采取的是‘a system of two tenses and two aspects‘—-—-—-两时两体体系。另外对phrases, clauses 的概念也有不同的定义。书中提到的一些其他语言现象,如:外位[extraposition], 分隔[discontinuity], 分裂句[cleft sentence]等都是一般语法书所不提及或者阐述不同。该教材也并非高深莫测,毕竟多数语言现象还是我们日常英语学习中所耳濡目染的,只不过我们许多英语学习者没有考究过它们形成的理论根据,来龙去脉而已。

所以,为了使自己的英语更加规范,让自己能用英语更准确、有效地传递信息、表达思想,英语专业的学生还是很有必要把这门课程学好。

现在我们就结合《现代英语语法》教材,近几年英语语法专业考试试题,讲述英语语法考试中考生容易忽略的测试要点或难点。

我们先通过几道语法题来检测你现有的现代语法水平,接着探讨一下该教材的学习方法,最后把教材各章的要点、难点归纳给大家。在整个讲解过程中,我们力争多采用教材里的素材以及往年试题中的一些经典考题,以便学员在学习、归纳语法现象的同时使自己的备考收效最大化。

先测试一下自己的现代语法水平(同时了解一下英语语法考试的题型、结构;每年考试形式基本相同,有些部分稍有调整。为了节省篇幅,这里各部分只选取几个样题)

第二部分:教材的学习与使用

一. 首先,仔细研读教材后面所附录的《高等教育自学考试英语语法自学考试大纲》,做

到学习重点、考试要求了然于心。 二. 由于教材涉及的术语较多,考试时所有的考题均用英文表述,学员必须熟记这些术语。

可参照书后《课程内容与考核目标》所列出的主要概念中英文对照。如:词素(morphemes),词缀法(affixation), 修饰性状语(adjunct) ,评注性状语(disjunct)等。 三. 对于每个概念,术语,都要做到能用简单的英语解释,最好能用书中的定义进行解释。

语法考试中就有一部分要检查考生对概念的理解及记忆。如:(1)Morpheme(p4): A morpheme is the minimal distinctive grammatical unit, and is the lowest unit in grammatical hierarchy. Morphemes are actually abstract elements of analysis. What occurs is an orthographic form in writing termed ―morph‖ which realizes the morpheme.(词素是语法的最小区别性单位,即最低一级的语法单位.词素的语音或拼写法的体现叫形素.词素是抽象的形式成分,在不同的环境中由若干不同的形素来体现) (2)Mass nouns(p57): Those nouns that can not take plural forms are mass nouns, such as butter, cheese, homework music, etc. (没有复数形式的名词叫物质名词)

四. 在理解的基础上,熟记教材上的例句。从以往的试卷分析来看,很多考题就是教材上

的原句或略作变动。例如:在全国2003年4月高等教育自学考试英语语法试题第Ⅱ.

5

2) You be patient. (Emphatic effect, or to light a contrast) 3) Do be patient. (To reinforce a command)

4) Be patient, please! (To smooth away abruptness) 5) You be patient, please! (This sentence is incorrect!)

So the following sentences are also commands: 1) Someone take out the rubbish. 2) Anybody help him! 3) Everyone freeze!

二、重要概念

1. Alternative questions: Those questions that suggest two (or more) alternatives and

usually imply that one of them could be true.

2. How-exclamations: Exclamations that are led by the adverb ?how‘. It highlights the

adjective, adverb, or verb in exclamations.

三、典型考题

II.

简答题

1. What are the verbs which transferred negation often occurs with?

What is their shared semantic feature?(转移否定经常与哪些动词同现?它们有什么共同的语义特征?)

The verbs which transferred negation often occurs with are:think,believe,suppose,imagine and expect.They are the verbs that express ―opinion‖.(转移否定经常与think,believe,suppose,imagine和expect等动词连用。这些动词都是表示“意见”的语义。) 2. What are the two major types of exclamations?(感叹句的两大类

型是什么?)

The two major types of exclamations are WHAT—exclamations and HOW-exclamations.The former is followed by a noun phrase;the latter is followed by an adjective or adverb.感叹句分为WHAT- 感叹句和HOW-感叹句。前一种后接名词词组,后者接形容词或副词。

Noun and Noun Phrase (1):

Noun and Number

(第三章 名词和名词词组(1):名词和名词的数)

一、 难点、重点

1. The functions of noun phrases: In function, a noun phrase can play

such grammatical roles as subject, object, complement, modifier and even adverbial. 名词词组的功能,可以作主语、宾语、补语、修饰语(a tea table),有些的甚至可以作状语(yesterday, last week)。 2. Noun classes

名词可以以多种方法分类,如具体名词(table, water)与抽象名词 (happiness, hatred),可数名词(table, girl)与不可数名词(water, money),有生物名词(boy, monkey)与无生物名词(table, water)等.但名词 通常按以下方式分类:

名词-----|专有名词Proper nouns

(nouns) |可数名词----------|普通名词(common nouns) (c. nouns) |物质名词(mass nouns)

我们在可数名词和物质名词中还可以再划分具体名词和抽象名词: 名词--|专有名词

|普通名词--|可数名词--|具体名词(concrete nouns) (common n.)| |抽象名词(abstract nouns |物质名词--|具体名词(concrete nouns) |抽象名词(abstract nouns)

3.缩略词:加-’s,-s,双写或零形式复数,首字母缩略词,

加-?s或-s:

Chapter 4

Noun and Noun Phrase(2): Determiner and Genitive

(第四章 名词和名词词组(2):限定词和属格)

一、 难点、重点

1. The constraints that the double genitive is subject to:

The second noun in the double genitive almost always refers to persons, never to objects,and the first noun usually has indefinite reference (typically premodified by the indefinite article) and the second noun is always definite.(双重属格的第二个名词指人,不指物,第一个名词不确指,通 常用不定冠词,第二个名词必须确指)

a window of the house‘s / a page of the newspaper‘s

the friend of that reporter‘s /the friend of a teacher‘s [以上表达均有错误!]

2.Group genitive集体属格 集体属格是指把’s加在后位修饰词组或并列名词词组后面的属格,如: someone else‘s car,an hour and a half‘s test(一个半小时的测试),a week or so‘s break(一个星期左右的休息)。

但集体属格不用于含有后位修饰分句(限定分句和非限定分句)的名词词组中: * the lady living next door‘s hat

* the children killed in the war‘s pictures

3. Genitive :

Generally, of-phrase is not used with first names, but would be acceptable with full names:

* The bike of Tom

The car of George Bush

4. Determiners

The pre-determiners or central determiners are mutually exclusive: * all half the employees (two pre-determiners) * all the his employees (two central determiners)

1. There is no point to arguing with him. 2. He began to like English at the age of 5. 3. What we can do now is wait.

4. You might try cutting it with a knife. 5. He will do whatever he can to help us.

Chapter 9

Adjective Phrase and Comparison (第九章 形容词词组和比较)

一、 难点、重点

1. The four features of adjective: Attributive function, predicative

function, pre-modification by the intensifier ?very‘ and comparative/superlative forms

形容词具有四个特点:即定语特点、补语特点、用强调词very前置修饰的特点及比较级和最高级特点。

2. 只有极少数的单个形容词可作后置修饰语:

(1)the minister designate(尚未上任的部长)

the president elect(当选的主席)

He has friends galore. (他有许多朋友。)

(2)broad(广阔的),deep(深的),high,long,old,tall,thick,wide等词

必须用在数量名词后,表示大小、持续时间、事物的年代及人的年龄:

six feet tall three meters wide

(3)concerned(担心的[前置],有关的[后置]),involved(复杂的[前置],涉及的[后

置] present (目前的,现在的[前置];出席的,到场的[后置]);proper(适合的,适当的[前置],严格意义上的,本身的[后置])responsible(认真负责的,尽责的[前置];有责任的,应负责任的[后置])等这些形容词用在名词前或后,其意义有所改变:

the mother concerned(所提到的母亲) the concerned mother(焦虑的母亲)

the man responsible(应负责任的人,负有责任的人) the responsible man(认真负责的人,有责任心的人)

26

(4)affected(受影响的;假装的,做作的),available(可得到的,可达到的),

required(需要,要求的)suggested(建议的)等这些词可用在名词前或名词后,意义没有变化:

available information

information available (可获得的信息) suggested improvements

improvements suggested (建议的改善方法)

3.形容词sick和healthy可以用作定语,而i11和well则通常用作补语,如:

What‘s the matter with Mr. White?——He‘s a sick man. Tom was very ill,but he‘s now a healthy man.

How are you?——I’m very well,thank you./I’m fine,thanks.

4. 比较级结构

注意当所比较的两个称呼不属于同层次时,修饰语不能前置,如,

Mr. White is a professor much more learned than his students. *Mr. White is a much more learned professor than his students. There are a lot of women more intelligent than John. *There are a lot of more intelligent women than John.

三、典型考题

I. 简答题

1. What are attributive adjectives and predicative adjectives?

定语形容词和补语形容词各指什么?

An attributive adjective refers to an adjective that modifies a noun and stands either before or after the noun in a noun phrase. An

predicative adjective refers to an adjective that can modify a noun by way of serving as a subject complement or an object complement.(修 饰语形容词指用来修饰名词,可放名词前或名词后的形容词。补语形容词指通 过用作主语补足语或宾语补足语来修饰名词的形容词。)

2. When adjectives are used in the dynamic sense, what are their

syntactic and semantic features? 当形容词表示动态意义时,其句法特征和语义特征是什么?

When adjectives are used in the dynamic sense,their syntactic features are to denote subjective measurement or suggest a temporary state; and their semantic features are that the qualities denoted by the adjectives can be controlled or restricted.(当形容词用作动态意义时,其句法特征是表示主观评定或暂时情况,其语义特征是形容词表示的特征能被控制或限制。)

3.What are restrictive adjectives and non-restrictive adjectives? 限制性形容词和非限制形容词各指什么?

27

A restrictive adjective helps identify the referent of the noun by describing its distinctive qualities.Whereas a non—restrictive adjective merely provides some additional information which is usually not essential for the identification of the referent.(限制性形容词通过描述与众不同的特征来识别名词所指的对象.非限制性形容词仅仅提供一些额外信息,而这些信息不是识别名词所指对象的根本。)

Chapter 10

Preposition and Prepositional Phrase

(第十章 介词和介词词组)

一、 难点、重点

1. The major functions prepositions:

Apart from the spatial and temporal relations,prepositions call be used to indicate a manner in which an action is done,an instrument with which a task is fulfilled,or a purpose that is aimed at and so on.介词除了表 示空间和时间外,还可表示动作进行的方式,完成任务所使用的工具,以及瞄准的 目标等。 Examples: In Beijing (space), on Monday (time), leave without a word (manner), listen

to the radio (instrument), pray for peace (purpose)

2. between和among用法比较

a. between表示两者之间,among表示三者或三者以上之间: She sat between the two children. She sat among the three children.

b. between表示两者之间的关系,作“在?之间”解,可以表示位置、时间、 顺序、距离、数量等。而among表示“在?中间;被?所围绕”:

Our house stands between a school and a supermarket. He lost his son when the film was over and found him among the people outside the cinema.

电影散场时,他找不到儿子了,在电影院外人群中找到了他。 c. between表示: ―介于?之间‖,among表示“在?之中”;其中之一(与最

高级连用):

A good teacher must be neither too strict nor too weak;his manner

must be between these two.

好教师既不能太严厉又不能太软弱;其举止必须介于两者之间。

Among his many good qualities, punctuality is the most impressive

one.

在他众多优秀品质中,守时给人留下了最深刻印象。 He made a comparison between the major English speaking countries. I like New Zealand best among all the English speaking countries.

28

d. We always use ?between‘ when we speak of clear and exact locative

positions:

The village is between three mountains.

Ecuador lies between Colombia, Peru, and the Pacific Ocean.

二、 重要概念

Preposition: In some languages, a word placed before a substantive and

indicating the relation of that substantive to a verb, an adjective, or another substantive, as English at, by, in, to, from, and with.

介词在一些语言中放在一实词前,用于表示这一实词与动词、形容词或另一实词的

II. 简答题

1. 解释表示空间关系的介词静态及动态使用方法?

We use prepositions to indicate the place where someone or

something is,or the place where an action occurs.This distinction may also be regarded as one between the static use and the dynamic use of prepositions,the former related with static location and the latter with movement with respect to an intended direction.(我们用介词表示某人或某

物所在的位置,或者某个动作发生的位置。其区别在于介词的静态使用和动态使用。

介词静态使用指与静态位置有关,动态使用指与所指方向有关的运动。)

2.指出表示持续时间和非持续时间介词的例子。

(1)He was ill for a week,and during that week he ate little.

他病了一周,这一周,他吃得很少。(for,during表持续时间)

29

(2)The airplane left Japan at seven in the morning。 飞机早晨7点离开日本。(at表非持续时间)

3. The syntactic functions of a prepositional phrase: a post-modifier in the noun phrase, an adverbial and a complement.介词词组,在句子中作后置修饰语、状语、补语等。E.g. a girl in white, handle it in a proper way, be interested in cooking. III. 其他题型

Correct the following sentences:

1. The culture in Iraq is very different than that in the U.S. 2. Come in the room, please.

3. A man of words and not of deeds is as a garden full of weeds. Key: 1. than ---- from 2. in-----into 3. as----like

Chapter 11

Coordination and Subordination

(第十一章 并列与从属)

一、 难点、重点

1. Coordination and subordination are two important ways in which two or more units are combined into larger and more complex units, even sentences. Coordination is typically realized by coordinators (also termed as coordination conjunctions) which join units at the same level, whereas subordination, realized by subordinators (also termed as subordinating conjunctions, involves the linking of units at different levels so that they form a hierarchy.

并列和从属是连接句子的两个手段。并列是靠并列连词(coordinating conjunctions)实现的,它把同一层次的几个单位连接起来。从属是靠从属连词(subordinating conjunctions)实现的,它把不同层次的几个单位连接起来,从而形成了一个等级(主从关系)。

2. And具有多种功能,如:

a. The professor went into the classroom,opened his notebook,and started the

lecture.教授走进教室,打开笔记本,然后开始讲课。 (and表示先后顺序,然后,其后)
