The study on grammar of spoken English
1、 Introduction
In our daily life , there are many ways to express our ideas
such as speech、writing and even an action. As a language form,
English language plays a more and more important role in the
evolution of the world, especially with the development of
society, economy globalization has come into our life step
by step. Communication between different countries will be
much more frequent than any time before. English has become
the world language and is the most popularly used not only
in formal international meetings but also in common communication.
Both in English speaking countries and non-English speaking
countries, more and more people have tried their best to improve
their ability of English application. In the whole, we can
separate them into two forms: written English and spoken English.
Maybe in English speaking countries nobody will doubt that
spoken English is one of the most convenient ways to communicate
with each other. And lots of people may just take it as a
born ability to communicate with others and even never think
about what is spoken English. However in non-English-speaking
countries, maybe it is one of the most important purposes
to improve their spoken English, and every one will agree
that language is one of the most important ways to express
our ideas.
With the improvement of the nature of language, linguistics,
as a science ,came into being and was generally accepted .Though
there have been much argument about it , linguistics has firmly
established its place as a major branch of social science,
which now has a set of established theories, methods and sub-branches.
From the perspective of academic study, language is a means
of verbal communication and distinguishes us from animals
ultimately because it is far more sophisticated than any animal
communication system. As far as language functions are concerned,
the following categories are usually mentioned : instrumental,
rengulatory, representational, interactional, personal, heuristic
and imaginative .There are still other classification using
different terms , but all share a lot in common about the
basic functions of language. As one of language forms, spoken
English will play a much more important role in daily life,
so it is very necessary to make relative study about spoken
English. Based on the analysis of difference between written
English and spoken English and the main features of spoken
English, this paper demonstrates the different senses of ‘grammar’
and ‘grammatical’ of spoken English, In terms of the question
can spoken language ever be grammatical Or is “grammar” only
for written language, detailed analysis is made and corresponding
suggestion is put forward in the paper , which will do great
help to push the development of relative study about spoken
English. And some conclusions about what FL teachers might
do are drawn as well in this paper.
