問題詳情

IV.Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 41-45The human lexicon is a repository of relatively time-stable culturally-shared well-codedknowledge about our external-physical, social-cultural and internal-mental universe. By“relatively time-stable” one means knowledge that is not in rapid flux, i.e., not unique episodicinformation. By “culturally shared” one means that when launching into communication,speakers take it for granted that words have roughly the same meaning for all members of thesame cultural/linguistic community. By “well-coded” one means that each chunk oflexically-stored knowledge is more-or-less uniquely—or at least strongly—associated with itsown perceptual code-label. 第 7 頁/共 8 頁The conceptual lexicon is most likely organized as a network of nodes and connections.Within this network, nodes stand for individual concepts (“senses”), each with its own distinctcode-label. By “concepts” one means types of conventionalized experience, rather than tokens ofindividual experience subsumed under those types. Lexical concepts thus stand for genericinformation, a repository of conventionalized, generalized experience.Lexical concepts may reflect relatively time-stable entities, such as physical objects,landmarks, locations, flora, fauna, persons, cultural institutions or abstract entities. All these aretypically classified as nouns. They may also reflect actions, events, processes or relations,typically classified as verbs. They may reflect inherent qualities and properties or temporarystate, often classified as adjectives. Cognitive psychologists have long recognized the conceptuallexicon under the label semantic memory.
