【正确答案】正确答案：The feasibility of Componential Analysis is questioned since there are difficulties in the approach to analyzing the meaning of a word in terms of semantic components.(1 point)The first one is that many words have more than one meaning, and consequently they will have different sets of semantic components.(2 points)Secondly, some semantic components are seen as binary taxonomies. But some distinctions are relatively clear-cut while others are rather vague.(2 points)Thirdly, besides the neatly organized parts of vocabulary, there are also words whose semantic components are difficult to ascertain. Thus whether the vocabulary of every language can be analyzed in this way is a question. Even if the answer is yes, there is still the question of how to explain the semantic components themselves.(3 points) However, Componential Analysis is still significant. This approach enables people to better account for sense relations between words, expressions and sentences. To determine which kind of relation two words or expressions or sentences have—synonyms, antonyms or hyponyms, one only have to examine whether the semantic components are the same, or contrasting, or included in those of another.

【答案解析】解析：考查对成分分析的理解和评价。对于词汇组织中整齐的部分，用成分分析法能够很好地说明两个词或词组或句子间的涵义关系。但是并不是所有词汇都适合用成分分析法：一、很多词语不止有一个意义，它们有几套语义成分；二、语义成分的二分并不完全清晰；三、有些单词的语义成分是难以确定的。是否每种语言的词汇都可以用此方法分析是不能肯定的。即使能，仍存在语义成分本身如何解释的问题。
