13、anguages are there in the world? How many languages families can they be grouped into? Page 6 It is assumed that the world has 5,000 languages, which can be grouped into roughly 25 language families on the basis of similarities in their basic word stock and brammar. They are Sino-Tibetan Family; Ind
14、o-European Family, and other 23 ones. The Indo-European language family is made up of most languages of Europe, the Near East, and India. The English language is not the language of the early inhabitants of the British Isles. The early history of English belongs to the Indo-European language family.
15、 Discussion 2 What are the two kinds of mehtods to classify the world languages? Page 6 One kind is morphological classification, and the other is structural classification. （说明：有两种方法可对世界上的所有语言进行分类，一种是形态划分，即根据语言的语法形态，对语言进行划分，通俗地说就是根据词的外形对语言进行划分；另一种是结构划分，即根据句法结构对语言进行划分）Step 3 Answer some questions an
16、d learn some concepts Questions to think over: 1. Why do we say “English is a heavy borrower?” Page 14 and Page 135 English owes 80% of its vecabulary to other languages. That is to say English has borrowed 80 percent of its vocabulary from other languages. In fact, the English vocabulary contains w
17、ords from all the major languages of the world. No other language of the world has borrowed so heavily. Therefore, the name “ heavy borrower” best describes the characteristic of the the English vocabulary. 2. Enumerate the major modes of modern vocabulary development.(说出英语词汇发展的三种主要模式) Page 14 Moder
18、n English vocabulary develops through three channels: creation, semantic change, and borrowing. For details see page14 and page 136. Concepts to learn: 1. Isolating language Page 7 Isolating language is a language in which each word form consists typically of a single morpheme. Examples are Classica
19、l Chinese and Vietnamese. An isolating language tends also to be an analytic language.(孤立语往往也是分析性语言 analytic language，孤立语的特点就是每一个词就是一个独立的词素，没有词尾变化) 2. Inflected language Page 7 Inflected language is a language whose nouns show their grammatical fucntion in the sentence by changes in the noun itself,
20、 and not by position. (通过词尾变化来实现语法功能的语言叫屈折语，英语可以作为其代表，屈折语也是综合性语言 synthetic language。) 3. synthetic language Page 7 Synthetic language refers to any language in which syntactic relations within sentences are expressed by inflection or by aggulutination(黏着). （综合性语言主要通过词尾的格、时态、语态、性、数、词素等的变化来实现句法功能。其代表有
21、拉丁语、英语。综合性语言也可看成屈折语） 4. analytic language Page 8 Analytic language refers to any language that uses specific grammatical words, or particles, rather than inflection, to express syntactic relations within sentences. （分析性语言主要通过具体的语法词、或小品词来实现句法功能，而不是通过单词本身的词尾变化。其代表有古汉语、越南语。可把分析性语看成孤立语。） Step 4 Go throu
