問題詳情

請依下文回答第 11 題至第 15 題:         A centerpiece of the study of linguistics has been that the words we use are arbitrarily related to theconcepts they refer to.  11  , this is true. If you look across languages, the same object is given very differentnames. An object called a bridge in English is un pont in French. Same concept, very different sounds. Thisobservation is  12  in Shakespeare’s quote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But, wordmeanings aren’t completely arbitrary. Recently, there have been some discussions about the “Kiki-Bouba”effect in which words that lead you to speak with a smiling mouth (like Kiki) feel more natural when theyapply to angled objects than to rounded  13  . In addition, there is a general relationship   14  how oftena word is used (what is called word frequency) and the length of the word. High frequency words (  15  ,words that are used often) are typically short (like sit, far, or chew), while low frequency words (that are usedless often) are typically longer (like recline, distant, or masticate).
