三、简答题(每小题5分,共20分)
1. What is the distinction between competence and performance?
Competence and performance was proposed by the American linguist N. Chomsky in the late 1950’s. Chomsky defines competence as the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his language, and performance the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication.

Sense relations between sentences:
1) X is synonymous with Y.
2) X is inconsistent with Y.
3) X entails Y.(Y is an entailment of X.)
4) X presupposes Y. (Y is a prerequisite of X)
5) X is a contradiction.
6) X is semantically anomalous.

4. What is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis?
Sapir-Whorf proposed first that all higher levels of thinking are dependent on language. Or put it more bluntly, language determines thought, hence the strong notion of linguistic determinism. Because languages differ in many ways, Whorf also believed that speakers of different languages perceive and experience the world differently, that is, relative to their linguistic background, hence the notion of linguistic relativism. In short, the strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes that the language we speak determines the way we perceive the world and therefore the nature of thought.

2. John suggested (that) Mary take the linguistics class.
3. What is the difference between acquisition and learning? Illustrate with examples.
Acquisition refers to the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicative situations. Learning, however, is defined as a conscious process of accumulating knowledge of a second language usually obtained in school settings. It is recognized that children acquire their native language without explicit learning. A second language is more commonly learned but to some degree may also be acquired, depending on the environmental setting and the input received by the L2 learner.
