To the professional linguist, there is no superiority of any language. Therefore, it is well-accepted in the field of linguistics that there exist no higher or lower grades among languages.
People once thought of tile languages of backward groups as undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of rough and simple sounds. It is possible that language in general began as a series of simple sounds. But it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of "backward" groups are extremely complex pieces of tool for the transfer of ideas. They "fall behind" the western languages not in their sound pattern or grammatical structures but only in their vocabularies. The sound pattern or grammatical structures usually are fully adequate for all language needs. The vocabulary reflects the objects and activities known to their speakers.
There are two things to be noted. Firstly, all languages seem to possess ways for vocabulary expansion. Vocabulary expands either by putting together its own words or by borrowing words from other languages. Secondly, the "backward" languages are different from ours. The objects and activities which require distinction are often surprisingly numerous and complicated.
In the author’s view, some languages "fall behind" western languages in the aspect of ______.
选项
A、their sound pattern
B、their grammatical structures
C、their vocabularies
D、their speakers
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。本题询问根据作昔的观点,一些语言在哪一方面“落后”于西方的语言。根据第二段第五句话可知,“落后”群体的语言之所以“落后”于西方语言是因为它们的词汇,故选项C为正确答案。根据第二段第五句话的前半部分可知,“落后”群体的语言“落后”于西方语言不是在于它们的发音形式和语法结构,故选项A(它们的发音形式)及选项B(它们的语法结构)均与文意不符。选项D(它们的使用者)在文中没有提到。
