음성, 음운론(Phonetics & Phonology)

1. monophthong & diphthong & triphthong

monophthong: the sound of a vowel relatively unchanged during its

production(one sound) -- [e], [a:], . .

diphthong: the sound of a vowel continually changed within a single syllable

(2 sounds) -- [aɪ], [aʊ], [ɔɪ], . . .

a. fronting diphthong: [e], [aɪ], [ɔɪ]

b. centering diphthong: [ɪə], [ɛə], [aə], [ɔə], [ʊə]

c. backing diphthong: [aʊ], [o]

triphthong: the three sequential sounds of a vowel continually changed within

a single syllable -- [eɪə], [aɪə], [ɔɪə], [aʊə], [oʊə]

# The important rule in studying phonetics and phonology is to ignore spelling

and focus only on the sounds of utterances.

2. vowel quadrangle

	front	central	back
high	i ɪ		u ʊ
mid	e ɛ	ə,ɝ ʌ	o (ɔ)
low	æ		ɔ a

tense vowel: [i], [e], [u], [o], [ɔ:], [a:], [ɝ]

lax vowel: [ɪ], [ɛ], [æ], [ʊ], [ə], [ʌ], [ɔ], [a]

rounded vowel: [u], [ʊ], [o], [ɔ] -- 'boot, put, boat, bore'

stressed lax vowel: [ʌ] -- 'bus, mother, hut, cut, tough, cover, flood'

stressed tense schwa: [ɝ] -- 'firm, urge, burn, murk, heard, earn'

unstressed lax schwa: [ə], [ɚ]

3. English consonant segments by a three-term label

a. the manner of articulation: stop, fricative, affricate, nasal,

approximant(liquid, glide), flap

b. the place of articulation: bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar,

alveopalatal, palatal, velar, glottal

c. voicing: voiced, voiceless

# flap: allophone of a phoneme /t/ or /d/ in the examples 'writer, rider,

latter, ladder, bottle, matter, saddle, automatic

phonetic symbol	initial	medial	final
ʒ(ž)	―	vision	massage
h	head	behind	―
ŋ	―	anger	king
ɪ	it	sit	―

# Exercise

1) Identify all the words in the following that contain an alveolar fricative

between two vowel sounds:

craze, case, rose, busy, doze, electricity, ace, raising, pleasing

2) Identify all the words in the following that begin with an approximant:

link, talk, quick, unit, sew, judge, youth, write, onion, one, union, witch

3) Identify all the words in the following that end with a voiceless fricative:

dogs, laugh, boxes, rags, cuts, through, tough, bath, loathe, dearth

4) Identify all the words in the following that end with a vowel sound:

fly, stop, flow, lime, psalm, sleigh, through, rose, type, tour, blew, serene

5) discrepancies between the spelling and sounds

(a) same sound represented by different letters:

[i]: each, bleed, either, achieve, scene, busy,...

[ʃ]: shop, ocean, machine, sure, conscience, mission, nation,...

(b) same letter representing different sounds:

-a-: gate, any, father, above, tall

-s-: sugar, vision, sale, resume

thin, rough, attempt, pharmacy

(d) a single letter representing more than one sound:

exit, union, human

[ks] [ju] [hj]

4. obstruent and sonorant

obstruent: plosive, fricative, affricate,

sonorant: nasal, liquid(flap), glide, vowel

(sonority scale: vl stop < vd stop < vl fricative <vd fricative < nasal <

iquid(lateral<flaps) < glide < high vowel < mid vowel < low vowel)

cf) sibilant: Alveolar and palato-alveolar fricatives(affricates) are more intense

and have greater amounts of acoustic energy at higher frequencies

such as [s, z, š, ž, č, ǰ].

5. phoneme: the smallest unit of sound

pin: /p/ +/ɪ/ +/n/ (three phonemes)

rough: /r/ +/ʌ/ +/f/ (three phonemes)

throb [θrɑːb]

suspicious [səˈspɪʃəs]

encourage [ɪn|kɜːrɪdʒ](미) [ɪn|kʌrɪdʒ](영)

exhaustive [ɪɡˈzɔːstɪv]

allophone: phonetic difference of the same phoneme

phoneme allophone

/p/ [ph], [p], [p˚]([pㄱ]) : pen, spin, top

/t/ [th], [t], [t˚], [ɾ], [t], [ʔ]: ten, stop, cat, writer, hit them, button

/k/ [kh], [k], [k˚] : cake, skin, take

/l/ [l], [ɫ], [] : learn, milk, little

/d/ [d], [ɾ], [ʔ] : dish, rider, sudden

/ɪ/ [ɪ], [ĩ] : pit, sin

/m/ [m], [], [m], [ɱ]: move, small, prism, comfort

/n/ [n], [], [], [ɱ], []: net, snail, bitten, invite, seventh

minimal pair: a pair of words whose sounds differ by one phone only

cheap-jeep, fill-kill, pain-pen, pan-pine, kill-thrill, hand-hang, pith-pitch,

debt-dead, body-buddy, scene-bean, third-bird, seen-scene, either-ether…

6. major three allophones of voiceless stops /p, t, k/

aspirated: [ph], [th], [kh] pack, dispose, ten, attack, keep, require

unaspirated: [p], [t], [k] ripple, apron, special, street, squeak, winkle

unreleased: [pㄱ], [tㄱ], [kㄱ] top, liftman, cat, frank, quick

cf) Glottal stops in /t/ or /d/

- little, cattle, rider: [ʔ] or [ɾ]

- before syllabic nasal :mutton, cotton, button, sudden, certain-- [ʔ]

- syllable final [ʔ]: Batman, Hitler, atlas, hit me, hot water

[bæʔ.mæn] [hɪʔ.lɚ] [æʔ.ləs] [hɪʔ.mi] [haʔ.wɔɾɚ]

- preglottalization(glottal reinforcement): hit, tap, sack

[hɪʔt], [tæʔp], [sæʔk]

→ The tip of the tongue makes contact with the alveolar ridge

in a glottally reinforced [ʔt]

7. coarticulation: Coarticulation refers to articulatory movements for one phone which are carried over into the production of previous or subsequent phones.

(the overlapping of adjacent articulations)

Secondary Articulation: An articulation made by the organs of speech that are not involved in the primary articulation. But this results in coarticulation

a. palatalization[j]: not yet, get you, caught you [t]+[j]=[ʧ]

did you, would you [d]+[j]=[ʤ]

b. nasalization[ ̃]: not now, man, goodness, nickname, congress

c. dentalization[ ̪]: eighth, both tub, tenth

d. labialization[w]: queen[kwwi:n], room[rwu:m], cool/kwʊl/, lobe[lwoub]

e. velarization[ ̴]: almost, also, little, pill, school, field, silk

cf) wealth[wɛɵ], kill them[kɪðɛm]

f. glottalization[ʔ]: Glottalization occurs when an oral plosive is produced

simultaneously with a glottal stop. The larynx is pulled

downward in the throat with the glottis closed, producing a

reduced air pressure between the two points of occlusion.

e.g.) beaten, rotten, cotton, certain, sudden ([bitʔn] → [biʔn])

8. complementary distribution and phonetic similarity with [h] and [ŋ]

a. [h]-[ŋ] with separate phonemes,

[h] never occurs in word-final position, or before another consonant. In fact, it appears only in syllable-initial position; [ŋ] never occurs in word-initial position, but does occur in word- and syllable-final position. So the two sounds are in complementary distribution. Given that these two sounds are in complementary distribution, we could claim that they are allophones of the same phoneme. But notice that they have almost nothing phonetically in common: [h] is a voiceless glottal fricative while [ŋ] is a voiced velar stop. So the suggestion that they are allophones of the same phoneme must be rejected on grounds of lack of phonetic similarity. Native speakers of English would never consider [h] and [ŋ] to be allophones of the same phoneme.

b. [n]-[n̪] with the same single phoneme,

The distribution of these two sounds is such that they never appear in the same environment.

> the dentalized sound only before /ɵ/ or /ð/

tenth[tɛɵ], in the game[ɪðə …]

# Phonetic Distributions

① contrastive distribution: 동일한 수의 음소를 가진 동일한 음의 환경에서 특정한 한 음소만이 다르게 실현되어 단어들을 구별해 줄 수 있는 소리들

[ ɪn] bin, tin, din, kin, fin, thin, sin, shin, chin, gin, win, Lynn

[p n] pen, pan, pain, pun, pine /pɛn, pæn, pein, pʌn, pain/

[pɪ ] pip, pit, pill, pith, pitch, pick, pig, ping

=> at least one minimal pair

② complementary distribution: 한 음소에 속하는 이음은 서로 환경이 겹치지 않는다.

phoneme allophone

/t/ : [th], [t], [tㄱ]

alveolar stop alveolar stop

e.g.) [th]이 생성되는 자리에 [t] 또는 [tㄱ]는 나타날 수 없다.

=> not minimal pair

③ overlapping(parallel) distribution: 동일한 환경에 둘 이상의 소리가 나타나 의미의

차이가 생긴다.

a. bath[bæƟ]: /b/ b. cage[keiʤ]: /k/ c. it [ɪt]: /ɪ/

path[pæƟ]: /p/ gage[geiʤ]: /g/ eat[it]: /i/

=> minimal pair

9. free variation: Free variations are produced both phonemically and phonetically.

If it has the same meaning when a sound within a word is realized as different sounds phonemically or phonetically, then the different sounds are free variation.

button: [t],[ʔ] (phonetic)

either, neither: [aɪ], [i] (phonemic)

economics: [i], [ɛ] (phonemic)

back: [k], [kㄱ] (phonetic), pen: [ɛ], [ɪ] (phonemic)

happy:[i], [ɪ] / believe, kitchen:[ɪ], [ə] / bushes:[ɪz], [əz]

10. syllable and phonotactics

- Syllable has an important role with respect to the phonotactic constraints in languages. This refers to the system of arrangement of sounds and sound sequences. It is on this basis that a speaker of English can judge some new form as a possible/impossible word.

e.g.) Both blit and bmit are not-existing as English words.

But if asked choose between the two, a native speaker of English would go for blit. The reason for this is that [bl] is a possible onset cluster in English, whereas [bm] is not.

cf) submarine[sʌb.mə.rin], submission[sʌb.mɪ.ʃən]: This is possible only if these two sounds are in different syllables.

11. initial CCC and CC clusters

(1) initial CCC clusters : s + voiceless stop + approximant

s + p + l, r, j : splash, spring, spew

s + t + r, j : stream, stew

s + k + l, r, j, w : sclaff, scream, skew, square

(s + m + j) : smew(the name of bird)

*/spw/, */stl/, */stw/ : potential cluster

*/pdz/, */bfn/, */gtb/: illicit cluster

(2) initial CC clusters

ʃ + r h + j

- No words in English may begin with /ŋ/, /jai/, /ðʊ/, /ɵɔi/, /zʌ/.

- /mf/ occurs after /ʌ/ as in comfort, while /ŋ/ may only occur after /ɪ, æ, ʌ, ɒ/.

12. syllabification: member, extra

member: /.mɛm.bə./, */.mɛ.mbə./, */.mɛmb.ə./

/mb/ cannot appear in both word-initial and word-final position.

extra: /.ɛk.strə./, /.ɛks.trə./, /.ɛkst.rə./ -> /s/ and /t/ can be onsets or codas

as long as it obeys English phonotactics

*/.ɛ.kstrə./ */.ɛkstr.ə./

ambisyllabicity: The consonant following the stressed lax vowels [æ, ɛ, ɪ, ɔ,

ʌ, ʊ] in the syllable-final positions can be ambisyllabic.

medicine, origin, finish, funny, federal, positive, Canada, river, punish,…

cf) origine: [|ɔːrɪdʒɪn], [│ɑːrɪdʒɪn]: (미) / [|ɒrɪdʒɪn]: (영)

# condition for syllabification:

1. Every syllable should be an open syllable.

2. If a syllable cannot be an open syllable, then its coda should be

as short as possible.

3. A stressed lax vowel cannot be in syllable-final position.

4. Onset is superior to coda.

13. Coda deletion

(1) When the word ending in a cluster is followed by a word that begins with

a consonant, the final member of the cluster is deleted.

hand made [hæn med] (cf. hand out) spend money, grand bargain

next class [nɛks klæs] (cf. next hour) just now, best thing

left street [lɛf strit] (cf. left arm)

(2) consonant deletion in words with suffixes and in compounds

compound: handsome [hænsəm]

added suffix: textless [tɛkslɪs]

added suffix: softness [safnɪs]

(3) The deletion is not observed if the consonant after the final cluster is /h/.

wild horse *[waɪl hɔrs]

guest house *[gɛs haʊs]

(4) If the consonant after the cluster is a liquid, the deletion is optional.

hand luggage [hæn(d) lʌgəʤ]

guest list [gɛs(t) lɪst]

(5) If clusters are created by the addition of grammatical endings,

this simplification is much less likely. Thus we get the following

non-reduced forms.

planned trip [plænd trɪp]

fixed game [fɪkst gem]

autographed book [ɔtəgræft bʊk]

14. progressive and regressive assimilation

happen[hæpm] input[ɪmpʊt] nickname[nɪŋnem]

15. flaps: [ɾ]

An allophone of /t/ or /d/ between a stressed vowel and an unstressed vowel:

autumn, rhetoric, notable, atom, Italy, seeding, automatic,…

cf) put on, at all, eat up…(flapped in the coda of the unstressed syllable)

a tall(not flapped in the onset of the stressed syllable)

cf) nationality[næʃənæləɾi], calamity[kəlæməɾi]

r-coloring vowel: porter[pɔrɾɚ], border[bɔrɾɚ]

before syllabic liquid: little, cattle, bitter, water, total, matter, saddle,

- neutralization(homophony): writer-rider, grater-grader, latter-ladder,

bitter-bidder, liter-leader

- rhotic sound: r-colored sound [ɚ, ɝ] -- bird, writer, hear, fare, mother, …

19. morphophonemics : 하나의 morpheme이 환경에 따라 다른 phoneme으로 실현 됨.

형태론적 과정에 의한 음소변화를 이형태(allomorph)라고 함.

commit - commission

submit - submission

admit – admission

dominate[|dɑːmɪneɪt] - domination [|dɑ:mɪ|neɪʃn]

revert[rivə́:rt] – reversion[rɪˈvɜːrʒn]

decide [dɪˈsaɪd] - decision [dɪˈsɪʒn]

/t/ or /d/ + /ɪ ə n/ (or /jən/)

[ʃ, ʒ, ʧ, ʤ]

Clearly the addition of the noun-forming suffix -ion has had more phonological effects on the base than you might expect from just the addition of -ion. In each case the final sound of the base has undergone a change. This change is morphophonemic: that is, it is a phonemic change caused by a morphological process. There are many such processes and they lead us to the concept of allomorphy. A morpheme may have different phonemic realizations in different contexts. The plural in English, for example, has a variety of forms. Each of these: /s/, /z/, and /ɪz/, is an allomorph of the plural morpheme.

morpheme allomorph(morphophonemic alternation)

21. stress-timed rhythm: Stressed syllables in English occur at regular time intervals. This leads us to say that English is stress timed, that is, the period of time between each stressed syllable, irrespective of the number of intervening unstressed syllables, is roughly equal. Each stressed syllable and the unstressed ones which follow it are grouped together to form a metrical unit we call the foot. All utterances may be divided up into feet.(To ensure that, for example, a foot of five syllables is of the same duration as one of two syllables.)

Definition of foot: The foot is a metrical unit consisting of a stressed syllable and all unstressed syllables up to but not including the next stressed syllable.

a. The man laughed. a. The big man.

b. The manager laughed. b. The violent man.

1. What did you hope to discover by this test?

2. What's the problem with all these people?

3. ‖ What's the ‖ difference between a ‖ free and a ‖ bound ‖ morph?

22. meter

The patterns of rhythm form a kind of grid within which the poetry is written. Meter has two aspects: the number of feet to a line and the positioning of weak and strong beats in a foot, i.e. stress placement to a foot. If there are only two feet to a line, then the meter is termed dimeter; if there are three, trimeter; four, tetrameter; five, pentameter; and six, hexameter.

23. foot

Feet come in four traditional forms. If there are only two syllables in the foot then the stressed syllable must come first or second. If first, then the foot is termed a trochee and the meter trochaic. If second, then the foot is an iamb and the meter iambic. The child's rhyme eeny meeny miney mo is trochaic. The line starts with a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one and carries on that way until the last syllable, which is also stressed. Iambic rhythm is much more commonly used in English poetry.

iambic pentameter: Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,

The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea

Shakespeare's Richard III

Now is the winter of our discontent

Made glorious summer by this sun of York

If there are three syllables to a foot, then as far as traditional meter goes, they have the stressed syllable either first or last. If first, the foot is a dactyl and the meter dactylic, if last, the foot is an anapaest and the meter anapaestic.

24. spoonerism: This results when the initial sounds or groups of sounds are exchanged between two words, as in "May I sew you to your sheet?" instead of " May I show you to your seat?"

e.g.) top notch [taʧ nap]

pretty chilly [ʧɪti prɪli]

blue jay [ʤu ble]

deep structure [stip drʌkʧɚ]

25. Sandhi: Sandhi is the word used to refer to various combinatory phenomena that occur at word boundaries in sentences. Words are not necessarily pronounced the same in sentences as they are in isolation: assimilation can jump word boundaries, as "did you", often pronounced [dɪǰə].

(a) I # scream -- Ice # cream (b) a # nice # man -- an # ice # man

26. Homorganic: Made with the same place of articulation. The sounds [d] and [n], as in English "hand", are homorganic.

e.g.) watch[ʧ], edge[ʤ], washed[ʃt], button[tn]

27. Phonological Features

32. Vowel reduction: The vowels in the unstressed syllable is reduced as a schwa.

The stressed vowels [ɛ, æ, o] are changed into unstressed schwa [ə].

telegraph[tɛ́ləgræ̀f] → telegraphy[təlgrəfi]

photograph[fótəgræ̀f] → photography[fətágrəfi]

- vowel shortening(laxing)

sign[saɪn] signature[sígnəʧə(r)]

pronounce[prənaʊns] pronunciation[prənʌnsieʃən], [prəˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃn]

[+tense] [-tense]

33. haplology: An entire syllable is lost when it is identical to another syllable.

He stepped lively(not livelyly).

-- In the adverb livelyly of the adjective lively, two identical syllable -lyly is reduced to a single syllable, -ly.

e.g.) Mississipi, probably, particularly, similarly

34. Aphesis refers to the loss of an unstressed initial vowel or syllable.

e.g.) 'bout, 'round, 'cause, 'lectrician, 'tato, 'member,...

Syncope is the loss of a medial vowel or syllable.

e.g.) choc'late, ev'ning, batt'ry, ev'ry,...

Apocope is the loss of a final vowel or syllable.

e.g.) sing from OE singan, find from finde

35. Coalescence: Two or more segments can be replaced by one segment that shares characteristics of each of the original segments.

It is found in the attachment of the -ion suffix.

demonstrate -- demonstration /t/ + /y/ = [š]

confess -- confession /s/ + /y/ = [š]

erode -- erosion /d/ + /y/ = [ž]

confuse -- confusion /z/ + /y/ = [ž]

=> As a result, palatalizations occur

36. Metathesis: It is possible to change the linear order of segments by

permutations of one type or another.

prescribe [pɨrskraɪb], preserve [pɨrzɨrv]

hundred [hʌndɨrd], pronounce [pɨrnauns]

37. Epenthesis: the addition of a vowel sound, usually to separate a group of

consonants resulting in epenthetic vowel inserted.

e.g.) film[fɪləm], athlete[æɵəlit]

judges, dishes, wanted, mended --[ɪ]

38. Elision(deletion)

(1) Unstressed vowel deletion: mystery, general, memory, funeral, vigorous,

Barbara, interest[ɪnt(ə)rɛst], secretary[sɛk(r)ətɛrɪ]

(2) syllable-final consonant deletion(coda deletion): avoiding the sequences of

more than two consonants across the word boundary

west end best friend[bəsfrɛnd]

west side[wɛsaɪd] best orange

(3) Homophonous productions in informal conversational speech: /t/-deletion

planner-planter, canner-canter, winner-winter, tenor-tenter

[plænɚ] [kænɚ] [wɪnɚ] [tɛnɚ]

rental, dental, renter, dented, twenty, gigantic, Toronto

cf) contain, interred, entwined --/t/ on the onset in a stressed syllable

39. Syllabic Consonants

: [m, n, l, r] can be a syllabic nucleus because of its high sonority.

rhythm, listen, Rachel, friar

[rɪðm] [lɪsn] [rečl] [frayr]=[fraɪɚ]

40. Morpheme

boyish, desirable, morphology

boyishness, desirability

gentlemanliness, undesirability

ungentlemanliness, antidisestablishmentarianism

(1) singer, painter, lover, worker,.../ nicer, prettier, taller,...

songster, youngster / monster, (finger)

(2) free morpheme: boy, desire, gentle, man (constituting words by themselves)

bound morpheme: un-, pre-, bi-, -ing, -ed, -er, -ist (not constituting words

by themselves) -- undesirable, prejudge, bipolar, sleeping,

performer, typist, linguist,...

41. Word Formation: derivational morpheme -- p. 48-49, Fromkin(9th ed.)

- (adj.) + ify = (v) : purify, amplify, simplify, falsify

(n) + ify = (v) : objectify, glorify, personify

-ify(v) + cation = (n) : uglification, glorification, simplification, falsification,

purification

(adj) + al = (adj) : egotistic + al = egotistical

fantastic + al = fantastical

42. Derivational affixes trigger changes in pronunciation

- change in pronunciation(-y, -ive, -ize, -ity,...): specific - specificity,

sane - sanity, deduce - deductive, critic - criticize

- no change in pronunciation(-er, -ful, -ish, -less, -ly, -ness,...):

baker, wishful, boyish, needless, sanely, fullness,...

- Affixes from the first class cannot be attached to a base containing an affix

from the second class: *need+less+ity *moral+ize+ive object+ive+ism

Ⅱ Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅰ Ⅰ Ⅱ

- Affixes from the second class may attach to bases with either kind of affix:

moral+ize+er need+less+ness

Ⅱ Ⅱ Ⅱ Ⅱ

44. Morphological Productivity

- v + able = adj.:

acceptable, laughable, passable, changeable, breatheable, adaptable, faxable,

downloadable,...

- un-Rule: un+believe+able, un+pick+up+able

(un- can be attached to an adjective or a verb.)

unhappy, uncowardly, *unsad, *unbrave, *unobvious

adjectives derived from verb forms (-ed): unenlightened, unsimplified,

uncharacterized, unauthorized, undistinguished,...

Many of the unacceptable -un forms have monosyllabic stems:

*unbig, *ungreat, *unred, *unsad, *unsmall, *untall,...

(exception: unfit, uncool, unread, unclean)

45. English Inflectional Morphemes:

Modern English has only eight bound inflectional affixes.

-s third-person singular present ‘wants’

-ed past tense ‘wanted‘

-ing progressive ‘playing’

-en past participle ‘fallen‘

-s plural ‘cats’

-'s possessive ‘girl’s‘

-er comparative ‘taller’

-est superlative ‘tallest‘

irregular forms: children, mice, feet, went, worse, oxen, hit(present-past)

sheep(singular-plural), data

(a) Inflectional morpheme cannot change the grammatical feature of a word.

: book(n)-books(n), play(v)-played(v)

(b) One inflectional morpheme can be added to the word-final position.

: dogs, wanted, flying

cf) un + like + ly + hood (derived morpheme)

46. Accidental Gap(lexical gap)

- Accidental gaps are well-formed but nonexisting words: blick, slarm, krobe,

curiouser, linguisticism, antiquify,...

- *bnick is not an accidental gap because no word in English can begin with

a bn-.

- Does ‘unsystem’ show an accidental gap? No.

48. Consonant alternation with morphological and syllable structures:

The morphological base of English orthography surfaces in certain consonant

letters' alternating behavior.

- post-vocalic /g/-deletion before final nasals:

(a) pimp (b) wipe (c) mind But *[maɪmb]

lint light grind *[maɪŋg]

sink bike *[graɪmb]

22. θ-Theory

θ-criterion: Each argument bears one and only one θ-role, and each

θ-role is assigned to one and only one argument―overt anaphors

(reflexive pronoun, NP-t), pronominals(I, you, we, he, PRO,,,),

lexical NP, wh-t, clause.

>> θ-role is assigned to NP(argument) by a verb and preposition

a. John [VP [V loves] Mary].

g. It is certain that John will win.

h. They took advantage of John.

i. Advantage was taken of John.

j. [NP ] was killed John by Fred. (DS)

※ a. [NP [NP e] [N'[N destruction] [NP the city]]]

| ↑

+θ

b. destruction of the city → of-insertion for case assignment

c. the city's destruction → movement for case assignment, POSS-insertion

'the city' has a θ-role inherited from the base position

♧ θ-role cannot be assigned to the subject position in passive and raising structure, in which the NP has an inherited θ-role that assigned in D-structure

23. Chain Constraint: A chain must have only one θ-role and only one case.

a. John seems [ t to be in good health] (John, t)

+case -case

-θ-role +θ-role

b. *John seems [ t is in good health] (John, t) ⇒ case-conflict

+case +case

의미론, 화용론(Semantics & Pragmatics)

1. 성분분석(componential analysis):

- 한 단어의 의미를 그 단어를 구성하고 있는 의미성분(semantic component)으로 규정

하는 것.

- 성분분석에 의해 주어진 단어의 의미성분들은 그 단어의 상위어들이며 이것은 단어의 의미를 구성하는 의미장(semantic field)을 형성한다.

animal

human nonhuman

male female

adult child adult child

| | | |

man boy woman girl

- 하의어는 상위어를 의미적으로 함의한다.

He is a man은 He is male을 의미적으로 함의한다.(전자가 T이면 후자도 T다)

- 반의어(antonym)인 boy-girl은 단 하나의 의미성분에서만 대조된다.

boy가 woman과 반의어(antonym)관계가 되지 못하는 것은 둘 이상의 의미성분이

대조되기 때문.

2. 의미자질(semantic feature)

man: [HUMAN], [ADULT], [MALE]...

mare: [NONHUMAN], [ADULT], [FEMALE], [HORSE]...

변별자질(distinctive feature)

man: [+HUMAN], [+ADULT], [+MALE]

mare: [-HUMAN], [+ADULT], [-MALE]

⇓

각 단어의 의미를 나타내는 의미적 구성성분(semantic components)

spinster: [-male], [+human], [+adult], [-married]

bachelor: [+male], [+human], [+adult], [-married]

wife: [-male], [+human], [+adult], [+married]

husband: [+male], [+human], [+adult], [+married]

3. Declaratives vs. Non-declaratives

- Declaratives are typically used for giving information.

Interrogatives are typically used for requesting information.

Imperatives for requesting action.

1. I would be grateful if you could tell me the time.

2. I insist that you stay here.

3. Did you know they've just announced on the news that the Prime

Minister has resigned?

4. How many times have I told you not to do that?

5. Consider the fact that Rubenstein was a Zionist.

6. Tell me whether I'm right or not.

A: How big is the moon?

B: Not as big as the earth.

A: How big is the earth?

B: Big enough.

A: How big is big enough?

B: Stop asking questions and eat your cereal.

A: Could you pass the milk and sugar?

B: I told you not to ask questions: now get on with your breakfast.

4. Antonym

Two-dimensional antonym: 상보적(complementary)이면서 모순(contradictory)의 관계

alive-dead, present-absent, awake-asleep

Three-dimensional antonym:

solid-liquid-gas

- The pair alive and dead have senses which are not a matter of degree. These are mutually exclusive opposites or complementary senses. Complementaries may have only two words in the set, like boy and girl. or they may be multiple, like solid, liquid, and gas, when they denote the only three states of matter in the set.

Gradable antonym:

big-small, hot-cold, happy-sad, tall-short, fast-slow

Gradable antonyms are typically opposites near the ends of a scale, such as

hot and cold. Their scale is the temperature scale. Antonym pair cool and warm

take up intermediate positions between hot and cold. When we look at the

temperature scale on which cold, cool, warm and hot indicate ranges of

temperatures, we find that the scale is not precise.

Each range has fuzzy edges so that we can't be sure where hot finishes and

warm takes over. The range also depends on what is being talked about.

A hot day has a different temperature range from a hot drink.

(1) a. My teacher is a bachelor.

b. My teacher is a spinster.

(2) a. My teacher is tall.

b. My teacher is short.

# In certain pairs of gradable antonyms, the one is marked and the other is unmarked.

unmarked marked

"How high is the mountain?" "How low is the mountain?"

"Ten thousand feet high" "Ten thousand feet low"

"How tall are you?" "How short are you?"

"How fast is it?" "How slow is it?"

"How long is the train?" "How short is the train?"

# relational opposites: Displaying symmetry in the meaning.

If X gives Y to Z, then Z receives Y from X. If X is Y's teacher, then Y is X's

pupil. Pairs of words ending in -er and -ee are usually relational opposites. If

Mary is Bill's employer, then Bill is Mary's employee.

give-receive buy-sell teacher-pupil

husband-wife trainer-trainee

# reversives: One of a reversive pair describes the reverse process of the other.

fold-unfold tie-untie cover-uncover

enter-exit entity-nonentity likely-unlikely

cf) place-misplace

5. Lexical ambiguity(어휘적 중의성):

a. He went to the bank.

b. George gave Benjamin a plane for Christmas.

Structural ambiguity(구조적 중의성):

a. Washing machines can be dangerous.

b. He gave her lion meat.

c. He saw her drawing pencils.

d. The boy saw the man with a telescope.

Ambiguity of semantic scope

Every boy loves some girl.

→ a. For each boy, there is a girl that he loves.

→ b. There is a certain girl that every boy loves.

cf) The chicken is ready to eat.

We are ready to eat the chicken.

c. There are four large bulls in that field.(warning, statement, boast, threat)

d. John's book ( ? )

- Four types of vagueness

a. referential vagueness: city, town

b. indeterminacy of meaning: John's book, John's train

c. lack of specification: neighbour which is unspecified for sex, race, or age

cf. Johnny killed a bird today, and so did Susie.(unspecified intension)

d. disjunction in the specification of the meaning of an item: or

The applicants for the job either had a first-class degree or some teaching

experience.

7. 함의(entailment)

If S1 S2 , then S1 entails S2.

T → T

F ← F

1. Mary sings arias beautifully. Mary sings arias.

2. John does not eat vegetables. John does not eat broccoli.

3. John was not present at the reception. John was absent from the reception.

4. John bought a fake leather jacket. John bought a leather jacket.

5. John met with some of the delegates.

John didn't meet with all of the delegates.

cf) (a) John regretted telling a lie. (b) John told a lie.

→ (a) presupposes (b).

8. 진리조건적 의미론(truth conditional semantics):

반드시 참이 되는 조건과 상황이 있어야 하며 서술문(declaratives)에만 적용된다.

의문문(interrogatives), 명령문(imperatives), 수행발화 등의 의미는 설명할 수 없다.

John loves Mary.

→ S means that P = Necessarily S is true if and only if P

Snow is white is true if and only if snow is white.

John loves Mary: If there exists John and Mary and John loves Mary,

then the sentence John loves Mary is true.

(1) a. John regretted that Mary had failed.

c. Mary had failed.

(2) a. Sue realized that Bill had been unfaithful to his wife.

(3) *John regretted that Mary had failed but she hadn't.

*Sue realized that Bill had been unfaithful to his wife, though he had

in fact never been unfaithful.

9. 화행의미론(speech act semantics):

참과 거짓의 진리값(truth value)으로 문장을 설명할 수 없다.

행위를 수반하는 발화가 나올 수 있다(약속, 확신, 동의 등을 수반하는 발화).

a. I promise you that I'll be there.

b. I bet you she'll fall over.

c. I agree that I was wrong.

d. I suggest that he is innocent.

e. There are four large bulls in that field. → warning, statement, boast, threat

⇒ These sentences follow felicity condition, appropriacy condition

# appropriacy condition

James will be at the party tonight. entails There is an individual called James

and There will be a party tonight, but how can we do this when the

appropriacy conditions differ according to the act performed? (warning, boast)

# performative utterances

I promise to go is not a description of a promise but, subject to the

satisfaction of the appropriacy condition, will itself constitute a promise

when it is uttered.

⇒ performative verbs: assert, promise, agree, bet, warn, accuse, testify,

suggest, announce, condemn, acknowledge, hereby(adv)

10. connotation vs. denotation

connotation(sense, intension(암시, 내포)): the concept of meaning, the set of

associations that a word's use can evoke; winter could be used for the

season stretching from December to March even if it's not cold or doesn't

have snow.

denotation(reference, extension(지시, 외연, 표상)): the meaning of a word or

phrase with the entities to which it refers; the denotation of the word

winter corresponds to the season between autumn and spring(regardless

of whether it is cold and unpleasant).

phrase extension intension

Prime Minister of the UK John Major leader of the governing party

Capital of New Zealand Wellington city containing the seat of

government

11. Synonym: Multiple forms have one meaning.

b. knock over i. endure

c. sympathize j. build up

d. boycott k. put up with

e. outflow l. tomorrow

f. construct m. take a calculated guess at

g. show sympathy n. estimate

12. Synonym and entailment

If car and automobile are synonyms, then it follows from the fact that I am

driving a car then I am driving an automobile, that is, if one is true then the

other will be true and vice versa. The relationship where it one sentence is

true then the other is true, is termed entailment.

> In the following examples, what the first sentence expresses entails what the

second expresses. Does the second sentence also entail the first?

a. Evelyn won the race. The race was won by Evelyn.

lap "circuit of a course" / lap "part of body when sitting down"

b. of different categories, but with the same spelling:

the verb keep / the noun keep

(2) homophones:

c. run, jog, move

d. pistol, weapon, firearm, revolver

e. person, uncle, relative

f. take, steal, pilfer

15. Hyponymy and Entailment

Does the first sentence entail the second? If it does, is this due to hyponymy

or not?

a. All dogs have fleas. My dog has fleas.

b. Bob killed Charles. Charles is not alive.

c. The bus is late. The bus is very late.

16. Selectional restrictions

The semantic components of a word are relevant not just to the meaning of the

individual word in its semantic field but also to the way the word functions with

other words in sentences. When we speak literally, the meanings of words

restrict the other words with which they will semantically fit. Such restrictions

are termed selectional restrictions.

a. *I ate a tennis racket for lunch.

b. *I met a pregnant bachelor on the subway.

c. *Philip was attacked by his electric typewriter.

a. old women / young women

b. little men / big men

c. *old comfort / *young comfort

d. *big sincerity / *little sincerity

17. Contradiction

Selectional restrictions are a factor in some sentences containing contradictions.

Some sentences in contradictions are always false.

Two sentences are contradictory if one entails the negation of the other:

Jack is alive. Jack is dead. (contradictory)

a. My male aunt bought a piano. (contradiction)

b. Babies are adults.

c. Charles is a bachelor.

Charles is married.

d. Circles are square.

# Tautology: A restricted number of sentences are always true regardless of the

circumstances.

e.g.) Circles are round.

A person who is single is not married.

18. Metaphor

A simple way to look at metaphor is to see it as a breaking down of the

normal literal selectional restrictions that the semantic components of words

have in a sentence. Metaphor violates the rule of semantic property.

e.g.) a. Freedom was at the helm of the ship of state.

b. When to the sessions of sweet silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past. --Shakespeare

c. Walls have ears.

d. Our doubts are traitors.

e. Time is money. --'save time', 'waste time', 'manage time',

'back in time', 'borrowed time', 'ravages of time',

'sands of time'

f. Eat your heart out. (비교가 안 된다)

g. He ate his hat. (I'll eat my hat.) (장담하다)

- Idiomatic phrases

Some phrases, as metaphors, are repeated so often that they become fixtures in the language. Idioms can break the rules on combining semantic properties.

sell down the river (홀대하다, 배신하다)

A: What did the doctor tell the vegetarian about his surgically implanted heart valve from a pig?

B: That it was okay as long as he didn't "eat his heart out."

19. Simile

Using as or like creates a simile.

e.g.) a. The girl is very cute, like a pet.

21. Conversational Implicature

Grice's theory of implicature

Grice's theory, in which he develops the concept of implicature, is essentially a theory about how people use language. These arise from basic and rational considerations and may be formulated as guidelines for the efficient and effective use of language in conversation to further co-operative ends. Grice identifies as guidelines of this sort four basic maxims of conversation or general principles underlying the efficient co-operative use of language, which jointly express a general co-operative principle.

The co-operative principle(대화가 진행될 때 대화의 방향이나 목적에 요구되는 만큼 기여해야 한다)

make your contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.

1. The maxim of Quality

try to make your contribution one that is true, speifically:

(i) do not say what you believe to be fales

(ii) do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence

2. The maxim of Quantity

(i) make your contribution as informative as is required for the current

purposes of the exchange

(ii) do not make your contribution more informative than is required

3. The maxim of Relevance

make your contributions relevant

4. The maxim of Manner

be perspicuous, and specifically:

(i) avoid obscurity

(ii) avoid ambiguity

(iii) be brief

(iv) be orderly

Standard implicature(generalized implicature)

1. John has two PhDs.

+> I believe he has, and have adequate evidence that he has.

2. Nigel has only fourteen children.

The flag is only white.

3. Pass the salt. +> Pass the salt now.

A: Can you tell me the time?

B: Well, the milkman has come.

A: Where's Bill?

B: There's a yellow VW outside Sue's house.

4. Open the door.

♠ a. I walked into a house.

b. The house was not my house.

→ The sentence a implicates the sentence b

Floutings(exploitations)

1. - A: What if the USSR blockades the Gulf and all the oil?

B: Oh come now, Britain rules the seas!

- Queen Victoria was made of iron.

2. - War is war.

- If he does it, he does it.

3. A: I do think Mrs Jenkins is an old windbag, don't you?

B: Huh, lovely weather for March, isn't it?

4. Miss Singer produced a series of sounds corresponding closely to the score

of an aria from Rigoletto.

→ Miss Singer sang an aria from Rigoletto.

>>Context: A: What on earth has happened to the roast beef?

B: The dog is looking very happy.

a. The dog is looking very happy.

b. Perhaps the dog has eaten the roast beef.

(a는 b를 함축)

Quiz: Maxims of conversation:

a. You are the cream in my coffee.

b. The police came in and everyone swallowed their cigarettes.

c. Her eyes danced with pleasure happily.

d. England is a sinking ship.

22. Speech Act Theory(performing actions in uttering a sentence)

(i) locutionary act(발화행위, 언표적 행위): the utterance of a sentence with

determinate sense and reference

(ii) illocutionary act(발화수반행위, 언표내적 행위): the making of a statement,

offer, promise, etc. in uttering a sentence, by virtue of the

conventional force associated with it (or with its explicit

performative paraphrase)

(iii) perlocutionary act(발화효과행위, 언향적 행위): the bringing about of effects

on the audience by means of uttering the sentence, such

effects being special to the circumstances of utterance

a. I'll turn your light off.

b. Shoot her!

> One may say of this utterance that, in appropriate circumstances, it had

the illocutionary force of, variously, ordering, urging, advising the

addressee to shoot her; but the perlocutionary effect of persuading,

forcing, or frightening the addressee into shooting her.(Or, he might

have added, it might have the perlocutionary effect of frightening her.)

<Quiz> Illocutionary act:

a. I declare the meeting open.(uttered to people present in the meeting)

b. I'll declare the meeting open soon.(uttered to people chatting before

the meeting begins)

c. Get well soon.(uttered to someone who is in the hospital)

23. Presupposition

Presupposition-triggers are italicized; the symbol >> stands for 'presupposes':

(6) some further factive predicates: know, be sorry that, be proud that,

be indifferent that, be glad that, be sad that

3. Implicative verbs

(7) John managed/didn't manage to open the door

(15) You can't get gobstoppers anymore

>> You once could get gobstoppers

(16) further iteratives: another time, return, to come back, restore, repeat,

for the nth time

6. Verbs of judging

This kind of implication is, arguably, not really presuppositional at all; for,

unlike other presuppositions, the implications are not attributed to the

speaker, so much as to the subject of the verb of judging

(17) Agatha accused/didn't accuse Ian of plagiarism

>> (Agatha thinks) plagiarism is bad

(18) Ian criticized/didn't criticize Agatha for running away

10. Comparisons and contrasts

Comparisons and contrasts may be marked by stress, by particles like too,

back, in return, or by comparative constructions:

back/in return/too

>> to call someone(or at least Marianne) a Valkyrie is to compliment them

(39) Sue died before she finished her thesis (presupposition defeasible)

(40) Sue finished her thesis

25. Presupposition and entailment

a. The chief constable arrested three men

b. There is a chief constable

c. The chief constable arrested two men

→ The sentence a presupposes b, and entails c.

d. The chief constable didn't arrest three men

→ The sentence d presupposes b, but doesn't entail c.

Presuppositions survive in other kinds of context in which entailment do not.

One such is modal contexts, i.e. embedding under modal operators like

possible, there's a chance that, etc.

e. It's possible that the chief constable arrested three men

→ The sentence e presupposes b, but doesn't entail c, because one cannot

logically infer from the mere possibility of a state of affairs that any part of

it is actual. The same behaviour occurs under deontic modalities like those

expressed by ought, should and the like.

f. The chief constable ought to have arrested three men.

cf) a. The two thieves were caught again last night.

b. A thief was caught last night.

c. The two thieves had been caught before

→ a entails b, and presupposes c.

d. If the two thieves were caught again last night, P.C. Katch will get an

honourable mention

→ d presupposes c, but doesn't entail b.

26. Deixis

The single most obvious way in which the relationship between language and

context is reflected in the structures of languages themselves, is through the

phenomenon of deixis. The term is borrowed from the Greek word for pointing

or indicating, and has as prototypical or focal exemplars the use of

demonstratives, first and second person pronouns, tense, specific time and place

adverbs like now and here, and a variety of other grammatical features tied

directly to the circumstances of utterance.

Deixis concerns the ways in which languages encode or grammaticalize features

of the context of utterance or speech event, and thus also concerns way in which

the interpretation of utterances depends on the analysis of that context of

utterance. Thus the pronoun this does not name or refer to any particular entity

on all occasions of use; rather it is a variable or place-holder for some particular

entity given by the context.

a. I'll be back in an hour.

b. Listen, I'm not disagreeing with you but with you, and not about this but

about this

27. Philosophical deixis

a. Letizia de Ramolino was the mother of Napoleon

→ The semantic content of the sentence (a) will amount to a specification of the

circumstances under which it would be true, namely that the individual known

as Letizia de Ramolino was in fact identical to the individual who was the

mother of Napoleon. The truth of (a) in no way depends on who says it, but

simply on the facts of history.

b. I am the mother of Napoleon.

→ We cannot assess the truth of this sentence without taking into account who

the speaker is; for (b) is true just in case the person uttering the sentence

is indeed identical to the individual who is the mother of Napoleon, and false

otherwise.

c. You are the mother of Napoleon

d. This is an eighteenth-century man-trap

e. Mary is in love with that fellow over there

f. It is now 12:15.

28. Descriptive deixis

The traditional categories of deixis are person, place, and time. Person deixis

concerns the encoding of the role of participants in the speech event in which

the utterance in question is delivered. Place deixis concerns the encoding of

spatial locations relative to the location of the participants in the speech event.

Time deixis concerns the encoding of temporal points and spans relative to the

time at which an utterance was spoken.

# Discourse deixis has to do with the encoding of reference to portions of the unfolding discourse in which the utterance is located.

a. Puff puff puff: that is what it sounded like

b. This is what phoneticians call creaky voice

1. Person deixis

There are two first person 'plural' pronouns, corresponding to 'we-inclusive-

of-addressee' and 'we-exclusive-of-addressee'. This distinction is not

manifested in English directly, but it is perhaps indirectly: for the contraction

from let us to let's only seems felicitous if the us is understood inclusively.

a. Let's go to the cinema

b. ?Let's go to see you tomorrow

# Kinship terms with vocatives

a. Henry is my uncle. Henry is my cousin.

b. Hello, Uncle! *Hello, Cousin!

# Vocatives can be divided into calls(summonses) and addresses.

a. Hey you, you just scratched my car with your frisbee

b. The truth is, Madam, nothing is as good nowadays

2. Time deixis: deictic time adverbs like now, then, soon, today, tomorrow,

yesterday, recently,...

a. Pull the trigger now! (gestural use)

b. I'm now working on a PhD (interminable period)

c. Tomorrow is Wednesday (Referent refers to the entire span itself)

d. Dennis hit Murphy with a baseball bat yesterday

(Referent refers to a point within the relevant span)

e. I'll see you on Thursday. → Note that the deictic words yesterday, today

and tomorrow pre-empt the calendrical or absolute ways of referring to

the relevant days. Thus the following, said on Thursday, can only be

referring to next Thursday(or perhaps some more remote Thursday),

otherwise the speaker should have said today.

3. Place deixis: Place or space deixis concerns the specification of locations

relative to anchorage points in the speech event.

a. It's two hundred yards away.

b. Kabul is four hundred miles West of here.

→ In either case it is likely that units of measurement, or descriptions of

direction and location, will have to be used, and in that case place deixis

comes to interact in complex ways with the non-deictic organization of

space.

c. I'm writing to say I'm having a marvellous time here.

d. Bring that here and take this there.

→ The adverbs here and there are often thought of as simple contrasts on

a proximal/distal dimension, stretching away from the speaker's location.

But this is only sometimes so, for although there basically means 'distal

from speaker's location at CT', it can also be used to mean 'proximal

to addressee at RT'. (CT:coding time, RT: receiving time)

e. How are things there?

29. Gestural Usage

a. This one's genuine, but this one is a fake.

b. You, you, but not you, are dismissed

c. This finger hurts

d. Not that one, idiot, that one.

e. Move it from there to there

f. He's not the Duke, he is. He's the butler.

30. Symbolic Usage

a. This city is really beautiful

b. Let's go now rather than tomorrow

c. That's a beautiful view

d. Hello, is Harry there?

e. We can't afford a holiday this year.

31. Scalar Implicatures

Given any scale of the form <e1, e2, e3,...en>, if a speaker asserts A(e2),

then he implicates ~A(e1), if he asserts A(e3), then he implicates ~A(e2)

and ~A(e1), and in general, if he asserts A(en), then he implicates ~(A(en-1)),

~(A(en-2) and so on, up to ~(A(e1))

a. All of the boys went to the party

b. Some of the boys went to the party.

c. Not all the boys went to the party.

→ 'all' entails 'some', and 'some' entails or implicates 'not all'

Strong Weak

<all, most, many, some, few>

<and, or>

<n, ...5, 4, 3, 2, 1>

<excellent, good>

<hot, warm>

<always, often, sometimes>

<must, should, may>

<cold, cool>

<love, like>

<none, not all>

<hot, warm>

32. Clausal implicatures

(a) stronger form (b) weaker form (c) implicatures of (b)

p and q p or q {Pp, P ~p, Pq, P ~q}

since p, q if p then q {Pp, P ~p, Pq, P ~q}

a knows p a believes p {Pp, P ~p}

a realized p a thought p {Pp, P ~p}

a revealed p a said p {Pp, P ~p}

necessarily p possibly p {Pp, P ~p}

'P means possible'

a. I believe John is away. (weaker form)

b. I know John is away. (stronger form)

→'believe' of the sentence (a) implicates both negative and positive property of the complement 'John is away'. But 'know' of (b) implicates only the fact that the complement is true.

33. Deductive inference vs Inductive inference

Deductive or logical inferences are not defeasible.

a. If Socrates is a man, he is mortal.

b. Socrates is a man.

c. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.(not defeasible)

⇒ If a and b are true, c is true.

Inductive inference are defeasible.

a. I have dug up 1001 carrots.

b. Every one of the 1001 carrots is orange.

c. Therefore, all carrots are orange.(defeasible)

⇒ Although a and b are true, c cannot be true.

※ In this respect implicatures are more like inductive inferences than they

are like deductive ones, for implicatures are inferences easily defeasible.

34. Logical truth vs. Analytic truth

- Logical truth--in terms of valid inference

a. Bill knows that he has cancer.

b. Bill has cancer.

→ If a is true, and then b is true.

- Analytic truth--in terms of truth condition

1. a. Bill is a bachelor.

b. Bill has never been married.

2. Contradiction: a. John murdered Mary

b. John didn't kill Mary

→ If a is true, and then b is false.

3. Ambiguity: The helicopter landed on the bank.

→ If the two ambiguous conditions of bank is satisfied,

and then the sentence is true.

35. Thematic Roles

Agent is the instigator of the action

Theme is the entity affected by the action or state.

The action originates source.

Instrument is the means used to accomplish the action.

Experiencer receives sensory input and is the entity experiencing the psychological state.

동사를 시작, 지속, 종결 등과 같은 시간적 속성으로 분류

state(상태): know, believe, have, desire, love

- Verbs are classified into four kinds, differing according to how the denoted states

or actions are distributed in time:

1. almost instantaneous switches between states: notice a mistake

2. simple existence of a state: hate hypocrisy

3. ongoing actions: ring handbells

4. goal-directed actions that culminate: cook dinner

- Vendler's four kinds of situation types:

1. She got her ankle sprained. (achievement)

-> The accident is a sudden transition from ankle being okay to ankle being sprained. In a transition of this kind - an achievement - there is not usually enough time to avoid the outcome by stopping partway through. This shows in the unacceptability of *She stopped getting her ankle sprained.

2. She had a sprained ankle. (state) - *She was having a sprained ankle.

3. She had physiotherapy. (activity) - She was having physiotherapy.

4. She got better. (accomplishment)

-> There is nothing linguistically strange about She stopped getting better. The culmination is a state of good health, but getting better also encodes a healing process that leads up to it, and English allows us to talk of stopping during that process, before the end result has been reached.

So the achievement meaning of get is different from the accomplishment meaning of it.
