📖 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 is the most possible purpose of the author to write this passage?
  • A To argue that Linguistics is a scientific discipline
  • B To contrast the difference between Linguistics and Etymology
  • C To describe how linguistic research is manipulated
  • D To justify the importance of Linguistics over science
  • E To persuade people to study Linguistics

思路引導 VIP

請觀察第一段對「科學」的定義,以及最後一段對「語言學」工作內容的總結。如果作者在第一段先告訴你科學需要具備 A 條件,而在後續段落不斷強調語言學也具備 A 條件,那麼作者最想傳達的「結論」會是什麼呢?

掌握文章的核心論點

你能迅速鎖定作者的寫作意圖,這代表你對文章結構的掌握非常敏銳!這篇文章採用了典型的「釐清誤解」論證架構。作者先定義了科學(Science)的本質在於觀察與實驗,隨即點出大眾常誤以為語言學(Linguistics)不具科學性。隨後的段落中,作者逐一列舉語言學如何運用假設、測試與實驗室觀察,這一切的鋪陳,最後都收束在「語言學確實是一門科學」這個結論上,因此選項 (A) 是最精確的概括。
