单词 linguistic
释义

linguisticadj.n.

Brit. /lɪŋˈɡwɪstɪk/, U.S. /lɪŋˈɡwɪstɪk/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: linguist n., -ic suffix.
Etymology: < linguist n. + -ic suffix. Compare French linguistique (1826 or earlier), Spanish lingüístico (1848), Portuguese lingüístico (1858), Italian linguistico (1839 or earlier), adjectives, all in senses ‘of or relating to language’ as well as ‘of or relating to linguistics’. Compare also German linguistisch of or relating to linguistics (1787 or earlier), (in recent use also, probably after English) of or relating to language (second half of the 20th cent. or earlier; the usual German adjective in this sense is sprachlich).In use as noun probably after French linguistique (1809) or its possible etymon German Linguistik (1778; compare the native formations and partial synonyms Sprachwissenschaft and Sprachforschung , both early 18th cent.). Compare Spanish lingüística (1869), Portuguese lingüística (1858), Italian linguistica (1837), Dutch linguistiek (1847; compare the native formations and partial synonyms taalkunde (early 17th cent.) and taalwetenschap (19th cent.; after German Sprachwissenschaft )). N.E.D. (1903) noted that the use of the adjective sense ‘of or relating to language’ was ‘hardly justifiable etymologically; it has arisen because lingual suggests irrelevant associations’; compare earlier lingual adj. 5.
A. adj.
Of or relating to language; (also) of or relating to linguistics.
