三星级重点章节07年冬天,学校组织了一个讲座,请老师给我们谈考试重点,同时学生有什么问题,可以当面问他。他说前五章是最重要的,第七和第八次之,第六,第九和第十二章也有考的内容,但不会很多,剩下的十章和十一章可以不看!所以,我就用三颗星表示最重要;俩颗星表示第二重要,一颗星表示第三重要。王老师说只要把胡壮麟那本书背会了,肯定能考好!因为考试覆盖的知识点都在书上!其实,背会那本书是不实际的,而把那本书过5到6遍是可能的,也是必须的。而且重点章节要在理解的基础上反复看。虽然我们文科的知识,背时关键,但是理解更重要,尤其语言学这门课,比较抽象,不理解就背,效果不好,不容易背会。北语没有提供考纲之类的东西,只告诉语言学参考书是胡壮麟的《语言学教程(修订版)》。(09年不知是否会换成该书的第三版)所以能知道该书哪些章节是重点,能让我们有的放矢。我这里所说的三星级重点,即最重要的章节是该书的前五章。不知道外校的考生,他们学校开过这门课没有!我们北语大三下学期讲前五章,大四上学期讲的6,7,8,9,12这几章。下面,我们先谈谈前五章该如何复习。Chapter1:Invitationstolinguistics;Chapter2:SpeechSounds;Chapter3:Lexicon;Chapter4:Syntax(新版中,这章改成FromWordtoText,是变化最大的一章,变化的结果是比以前的简单了);Chapter5:Meaning。这五章可以说是语言学的基础和考试的重点。我们一定要反复看,理解其中的定义等知识点。一定要在理解的基础上记忆。Chapter1:Invitationstolinguistics这章是该书的开篇,目的是让大家对语言学这门课有个初步的了解,为后面几章作个铺垫。也许你会说这种章节肯定不重要。错!奇怪的是这一章居然很重要。因为考点还不少!Designfeaturesoflanguage:Arbitrariness,duality,creativity,displacement.这四个特征要求理解,牢记,能背出定义。能举出代表性的例子来支持定义。总之是非常重要。Functionsoflanguage:informative,interpersonalfunction,performative,emotivefunction,phaticcommunion,recreationalfunction,metalingualfunction.这7个功能也得记住,而且理解。能举出例子。填空容易考其中一个。Importantdistinctionsinlinguistics:descriptive/prescriptive,synchronic/diachronic,langue/parole,competence/performance.Etic/Emic.5对区别特征也非常重要,尤其前四对区别特征,他们几乎是学语言学的必备知识,连这个都不知道,以后就没法学习了!而且有俩对区别特征都是语言学的创始人索绪尔最先提出的。所以这些区别特征的定义等相关知识点都需要记住。最后那个区别特征Etic/Emic不是特别重要,而且我看到新版《语言学教程》已经把这个特征删除了!Chapter2:SpeechSounds首先对Phonetics(语音学)和phonology(音系学)俩个概念要区分下。语音学部分:发音器官还是要熟悉,也有助于后面语音描述的学习。另外,声带(vocalcard)的三个位置(apart,closedtogether,totallyclosed),分别产生清音(voiceless),浊音(voived)和喉塞音(glottalstop).这部分最重要的还算辅音和元音了。辅音要熟记发音部位和发音方法,能熟练的根据描述,写出对应的语音,或者能描述给出的辅音,这应该是必考得!元音的考察方式跟辅音一样。但元音考得个数少。10个小题里,可能是3个元音描述,7个辅音描述。最后就是coarticulation的定义和理解,举出例子。对什么是宽式标音(broadtranscription)和窄式标音(narrowtranscription)也应该熟悉。音系学部分:理解通过最小对立体的分析,得出的音位(phonemes)的概念.记住音位phoneme的定义;音位变体(allophones)的定义;互补分布(complementarydistribution)的定义.音位过程(phonologicalprocess)只要熟悉Nasalization,Dentalization,Velarization,Devoicing这四个就可以了,自己记几个例子,以防万一!大家也看过书了,音位过程这部分还有些其它知识,挺难的。对于你自己认为很艰涩难懂的东西,其实考试考得可能也不大。这是我们语言学任课老师说的。最后,剩下音节(syllables)了,虽然这个知识点放在本章的最后,以前我以为不重要,但08年,我们有个5分的定义题(definition),就考了syllables的定义!所以大家对音节结构那块还是熟记下。Chapter3:Lexicon这章的第二节:Theformationofword和第三节thelexicalchange重要。对词素(morphemem)的定义,分类要熟记。Word形成的俩种方式复合(compound)和派生(derivation)也要熟悉。另外语素变体(Allomorph)的定义等也要熟悉。词汇变化(thelexicalchange)这部分,介绍了7种词汇演变的方式,只要记住这7种方式,能给每个方式举个例子就可以了。最后的语义变化(semanticchange)这部分,我觉得broadening,narrowing,meaningshift,classshift需要了解下。Chapter4:Syntax这一章可以说是全书最难的章节。但新版的《语言学教程》把这章进行了彻底的改变!难度下降了很多。所以如果09年参考书改成新版的话,考生还是比较幸运的!!!这里,我把新旧俩版的第四章对比一下:旧版:47\nThetraditionalapproach:number,gender,case,tense和aspect要区别清楚。几个重要概念要背会:Concord,Government.Thestructuralapproach:索绪尔提出的俩个重要概念:组合关系(syntagmaticrelation)和聚合关系(paradigmaticrelation),他们的定义一定要在理解的基础上记住。索绪尔的另外俩个概念:能指(signified)和所指(signifier)也很重要。注意区分structure和system.因为前者体现了组合关系(syntagmaticrelation);后者体现了聚合关系(paradigmaticrelation)。本章的另一个重点是直接成分分析法(ICanalysis)。直接成分(immediateconstitute)的定义应该记住。如果给你个句子,你要能够用ICanalysis分析。08年我们就考了这样一道题!这部分的另一个重点是向心结构(endocentricconstructions)和离心结构(exocentricconstruction)。理解这两种结构,能够举出典型的例子。Thegenerativeapproach:第一个重点是deepstructure和surfacestructure.要背会它们的定义。第二个重点是Chomsky’s的转换生成语法理论。这部分特别抽象,理解难度大。那么同学们肯定要问,对于书里的这种知识,该掌握到什么程度呢?其实考试不会涉及这种特别难的东西。所以,转换生成理论这部分,大家只要背会thestandardtheory和extendedstandardtheory的图表。第三就是背会government和binding的定义。理解c-command就可以了。Chomsky的理论这部分知识难度大,一般都不是重点,因为我们老师说特别难的不考。而08年,最后一道大题,就是考的extendedstandardtheory。整个卷子也有好几处考了Chomsky的理论。所以我们考生去年考完都觉得语言学很偏,原因也就在此。Thefunctionalapproach:了解布拉格学派(Pragueschool),和系统功能语法(systemic-functionalgrammar).重点是主位(theme)和述位(rheme).他们的概念,以及句子中哪部分是主位,哪部分是述位。另一个知识点是交际动力(communicativedynamism).新版:Chapter4:FromWordtoText.第一节Syntacticrelation:第二节Grammaticalconstructionanditsconstituents第三节Syntacticfunction第四节Category第五节Phraseclauseandsentence第六节Recursiveness第七节Beyondthesentence大家可以看到,新版和旧版已经完全不同了。Chapter5:Meaning(semantics-语义学)Meaningsof“meaning”:第一个重点是Leech’sseventypesofmeaning:conceptualmeaning,connotativemeaning,socialmeaning,affectivemeaning,reflectedmeaning,collocativemeaning,themanticmeaning.第二个重点是thereferentialtheory的概念,semantictriangle,senseandreference的定义。第三个重点是senserelations:synonymy,antonymy,hyponymy.着三种关系应该说很重要。这章后面一部分内容了解即可。比如sentencemeaning那部分。二、二星级重点章节Chapter7language,cultureandsocietyLanguageandculture:语言与文化这部分其实是人类语言学。需要记住:contextofsituation的组成部分。重点是Sapir-Whorfhypotheses的定义和理解。特别是语言相对论linuisticrelativity和语言决定论linguisticdeterminism。Languageandsociety:语言与社会这部分就是社会语言学。会写社会语言学这个词:sociolinguistic.这部分注意下communicativecompetence,linguisticsexism,womenregister.Chapter8:languageinuse(pragmatics语用学)这章的重点就是俩个理论:speechacttheory和thetheoryofconversationalimplicature.其中thetheoryoftheillocutionaryact,cooperativeprincipleanditsfourmaxims要熟记。知道theviolationofthemaxims,thecharacteristicsofimplicature.在post-griceandevelopment部分,比较重要的是relavencetheory.后面的内容了解即可。三、一星级重点章节Chapter6:languageprocessinginmind这章是心理语言学,考的几率很小。但又不能不复习这一章。谁也不能肯定这章肯定不考。比较重要的知识点:cohorttheory,frequencyeffect,recencyeffects,gardenpathsentence,minimalattachmenttheory,schemata.47\nChapter1.I
