1、从语言学来看窈窕淑女窈窕淑女是依据萧伯纳小说改编的一部电影，其中，奥虐明赫本扮演女主子公伊莉莎一一一个漂亮但腔调怪异、行为粗鄙的街头卖花女，她的嗓音引起了语笆学家希金斯教授的留意,他和好友打赌，经过他的训练，卖花女也可以成为贵夫人。他从最基本的字母发音起先对伊莉莎密集训练，在6个月后的一次重大舞会上，伊莉莎谈吐不凡，气质高雅，成为焦点。学过语言学，再看这部影片，发觉许多耐人寻味的语言现象。从语言角度来看，卖花女伊莉莎的嗓音被希金斯教授称为“如小鸡在粮仓里咯咯叫”，“她发的每一个音都不适当，她应当被吊死因为她无情地谋杀了英语”。从语音分析四的个方面（音高,音重，音长，音质）来解析伊莉莎的H身语音

2、系统，她有着及其成长环境一样的发音习惯，比如，她会把“以为”发成“以味”的音,常常读错重音,会把的:发成b,把发成c1.osec1.othbreezebreathc0自由的生活环境和卖花女身份更丰富的了她的发音方式。这让教授初教她发音字母时头疼不已。从语法角度来看，伊莉莎的表达更是自由，她会说“两元一支”而不是“一枝花的价格是两元。这是一个紧缩句，或者是种语言的变换。而教授要她学严谨优雅的英语语法，这对她来说无疑很困难。从词汇和语言发展角度来看，首先是口语和面语，伊莉莎会说“喝水”而不是“饮水”，说“脑袋”而不是“头颅”：其次是社会方言，她的圈子里说“盐巴”而上层社会会说“食盐二赫本的另一部电

3、影罗马假日中，标记性的上层语言暴露了她的公主身份。这些都是和她的职业、阶层相适应的。包括她说话时的体态、表情广义上应当属于一种语言方式。但教授的训练要她从词汇到体态共至表情做全方位的转换，这是对一个成长于社会底层的她的熬煎。从各方面来讲，这注定是一次艰难的蜕变。宏观上来讲，影片侧重的更是语言的阶级性方面，伊莉莎做这些变更的根源就是社会上下层在语言上有差别。但语言本身不分贵贱，政治的贵贱之分给它抹上了势力的色调。但从另一方面来讲，也充分说明白语言的重要性。气质不是由血统确定的,是一个人内涵，语言，姿态的集合。语言的内核是一个人的内在。Socio1.inguisticAna1.ysisofMyFa
