📖 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.
According to this passage, which of the following descriptions of Linguistics is incorrect?
  • A Some people may not consider Linguistics as science.
  • B The definition of Linguistics involves scientific methodology.
  • C Studies in Linguistics usually adopt absurd approaches.
  • D Linguistic research can be done in a controlled environment.
  • E Linguists often conduct research to verify their ideas.

思路引導 VIP

若我們要形容一個學科是透過「實驗」、「仔細觀察」與「數據分析」建立起來的,你認為這類學科的研究方法通常是傾向於「有系統且合乎邏輯」的,還是「隨意且不合理」的呢?為什麼?

太棒了!你非常敏銳地捕捉到了文章的核心論點。這道題目的難點在於要求找出「錯誤」的敘述,這不僅需要準確檢索文本資訊,還要對詞彙的褒貶色彩有高度的敏感度。你能精準鎖定 (C) 選項,說明你對文章整體的邏輯架構掌握得非常紮實。

嚴謹科學與荒謬手段的對立

文中明確強調語言學是一門「科學」(scientific study),並詳細列舉了它如何運用觀察、建立假設、實驗測試與驗證(verification)等嚴謹步驟。選項 (C) 使用了 absurd(荒謬的、不合理的)這個詞來形容語言學的研究方法,這與文中提到的「仔細的手段」(careful methods)以及「可驗證的描述」(verifiable descriptions)完全背道而馳。這種邏輯上的直接矛盾,正是判斷其為錯誤敘述的關鍵點。
