问题     We have seen that the mere phonetic framework of speech does
not constitute the inner fact of language and that single sound of
articulated speech is not, as such, a linguistic element at all. For
all that, speech is so inevitably bound up with sounds and its【S1】______
articulation that we can hardly avoid giving the subject of phonetics
some general consideration. Experience has shown that neither the
purely formal aspects of a language or the course of its history can be【S2】______
fully understood without reference with the sounds in which this form【S3】______
and this history are embodied. The feeling that the average speaker
has of his language is that it is built up, acoustically speaking, of a
comparatively small number of distinctive sounds, each of which is【S4】______
rather accurately provided for in the current alphabet by one letter
or, in few cases, by two or more alternative letters. As for the【S5】______
languages of foreigners, he generally feels that, aside from a few
striking differences that cannot escape even the critical ear, the【S6】______
sounds they use are the same as those he is familiar with but that
there is a mysterious " accent" to these foreign languages, a
certainly unanalyzed phonetic character, apart from the sounds as【S7】______
such, that gives them their air of strangeness. This naive feeling is
largely illusory on all scores. Phonetic analysis convinces one that【S8】______
a number of clearly distinguishable sounds and the tiny differences【S9】______
of sounds that are habitually employed by the speakers of a language
is greater than they by themselves recognize.【S10】______ [br] 【S1】
选项
答案 its—their
解析 代词误用。本句中物主代词指代的是复数名词sounds，因此应用their。此处意为“言语与声音及其发音之间的关系如此紧密，以至于我们不可避免地要对语音学这门学科进行一些思考。”
