Nonsense

无意义词语

In several contexts in linguistics and phonetics, this term is used in a rather more restricted sense than in everyday use. In phonetics, it is applied to the invented phonetic sequences (nonsense words) used as part of ear-training exercises. In linguistics it refers, first, to sentences which may be generated by a grammar (i.e. they are grammatical), but which are not semantically acceptable, e.g. The stone is sleeping, He drank the car in a table. Such meaningless sentences are often called anomalous.

语言学和语音学在好几个方面使用这一术语，其涵义要比日常使用的涵义窄。语音学中，指为辨音训练设计的一些语音序列（“无意义词”）。语言学中首先指语法可以生成（即合乎语法）而语义上不可接受的句子，例如：The stone is sleeping“石头在睡觉”，He drank the car in a table“他在一张桌子里喝汽车”。这种无意义句常称作“语义异常”。
