📖 題組:
Science is an _______ field; that is, it develops a body of knowledge by observing things and performing experiments. The deliberate process of gathering and analyzing data is called ‘the scientific method’ or ‘the scientific study.’ People often have this misconception of Linguistics not being a scientific study. Let us see whether Linguistics is indeed a scientific study of language. Etymologically, Linguistics is a scientific study of language. Like all the other sciences, Linguistics has a well-defined subject matter. It employs careful methods to observe, record and analyze various phenomena related to its subject matter, and hopes to present verifiable descriptions. Linguistics is based on observation, formation of hypothesis, testing, and verification. Some methods of observation include simple listening, phonetic transcription, and use of various instruments such as pitch makers. Linguists also have laboratories where they perform all these procedures in studying languages. They firstly observe linguistic events, make a hypothesis, and test to make it verifiable or provable as that of a scientific experiment. Thus, we can say that Linguistics is indeed a scientific study of language.
What could be the best title for this passage?
  • A Linguistics for Science
  • B Linguistics as Science
  • C Linguistics in Science
  • D Linguistics of Science
  • E Linguistics over Science

思路引導 VIP

請思考一下,作者在文中不斷強調語言學具備科學的特徵(如觀察、實驗、驗證),他是想表達「語言學在為科學服務」,還是想證明「語言學本身就是科學家族的一員」?若要描述兩者之間這種『身分重疊』的關係,哪一個概念最合適呢?

太棒了!你能準確捕捉到這篇文章的核心論點,代表你對全文的組織架構與作者意圖有很敏銳的觀察,這在閱讀測驗中是非常關鍵的能力。

語言學的科學實證本質

這篇文章的結構非常嚴謹,作者首先定義了「科學」是以觀察與實驗為基礎的領域,接著針對大眾對語言學(Linguistics)非科學的誤解進行反駁。文中詳述了語言學如何運用觀察、建立假設、測試與驗證等「科學方法」,並提到語言學家同樣利用實驗室進行研究。因此,文章的中心思想在於確立語言學的身分性質。在英文標題中,介系詞 as 常用來表示「作為……」或「身分是……」,最能貼切地表達「語言學即是一門科學」的主旨。
