The group compared people’s use of " function words" which【C3】______ carry any meaning on their own,【C4】______help build context in conversations. Content words, such as nouns, adjectives and verbs, carry an【C5】______ meaning. Function words, on the other hand, vary in their use and help provide reference points in conversations.【C6】______, words like " the," "that" and "of"【C7】______act as function words.
The researchers conducted two experiments to measure language similarities. One setup【C8】______ 40 speed dating sessions among college students, 【C9】______ the couples’ conversations were recorded and transcribed for【C10】______. The study’s authors found that people who used function words similarly were more【C11】______to express romantic interest in seeing one another in the future. A second experiment measured the use of function words in the online chats of 86 couples over the【C12】______ of 10 days. The researchers found that couples that used function words similarly tended to still be together【C13】______.
Three months after the data were【C14】______, the team discovered that 76 percent of couples 【C15】______ similar language styles were still together compared to 53 percent of other couples that 【C16】______similar styles of speech.
The findings suggest that romantic compatibility may not depend【C17】______ on saying the right things but rather whether they’re said in a 【C18】______way. James Pennebaker, a coauthor of the study, comments on the natural【C19】______of these speech styles in a press release: " What’s wonderful【C20】______this is we don’t really make that decision; it just comes out of our mouths. [br] 【C2】
选项
A、relations
B、romance
C、affection
D、feelings
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题。句意同上。由前一句可知,研究探讨的是语言对夫妻或恋人关系的影响,这种关系用romance“浪漫”概括最为恰当。relations“关系”,affection“喜爱”和feelings“感觉”,含义过于宽泛,均与文意不符。
