1、1. Linguistics studies not any particular language, but languages in general.2. If a linguistic study aims to describe and analyze the language people atcutally use, it is said to be Descriptive（描述性）-synchronic study（共 时研究）If the linguistic study aims to lay down rules for correct and standard behaviour in using language, it is said to be Perscriptive（规定性）- diachronic study （动态研究）3. Modern linguistic regards the spoken language as the nature or the primary medium of human language.4. Langue（语言）r

2、efers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community; parole（话语） refers to the realization of langue in actual use.5.

Voicing（浊音）:Vibration of the vocal cords（ 声带）results in a quality of speech sound called voicing. Its the feature of all vowels and some consonants.Voiceless（清音）：When the vocal cords are drawn wide apart, letting air go through without causing vibration, the sounds produced in such a condition are voiceless.9. Speech organs: the tongue, the uvula（小舌）,t

Sense is concerned with the inherent meaning of the linguistic form.It is the collection of all the feature of the linguistic form; it is abstract and de-contextualized.28. Synonymy（同义） refers to the sameness or close similarity of meaning. Words that are close in meaning are called synonymy.29. Polysemy（词多义） refers to the same one word may have more than one meaning.
