17 Use the method of binary cutting(as used in the IC Analysis)to analyze the morphological or syntactic structure of the following.(12/150)

inconsistency(4/150)

18 The scholar also argues that the spread of English is nothing neutral.(8/150)

19 What is metaphor? How does cognitive linguistics interpret it differently from traditional rhetoric? Use a few examples to illustrate how the farmer contributes to our understanding of language.(20/150)

20 What do Brown and Levinson(1987)mean by "positive face" and "negative face"? Study the following utterances and decide which type of face is being attended to in each utterance. Support each of your decisions with a brief explanation.(20/150)

(1)Come here, Johnny.

(2)Passengers please refrain from smoking.

(3)I just want to ask you if I can use your bike.

(4)You must be tired after the long flight. Shall we talk about the contract tomorrow?

21 Academic writing is supposed to be formal in style. However, colloquialisms of various kinds abound in Chinese learners' theses. Study the following excerpt from a postgraduate student's B. A. thesis. Point out those linguistic forms that are too colloquial to be appropriate. What might be the major causes for the use of the inappropriate language style? What advice do you have for teachers of English?(22/150)

Presidents' inaugural address is an art that maybe includes all the skills of public speaking. How do American Presidents make their addresses attractive and persuasive? Do they have some skills or secrets of success on public speaking? Yes, I think so. I think many people who have great talent in public speaking make concerted effort to construct such a perfect text. That is to say, they check wording and phrasing, use all kinds of figures of speech as long as they need. So inaugural addresses show their especial charm to appeal to millions of fellow citizens.

In this research, I'll try to prove that rhetoric techniques are frequently used in the speeches and play indispensable roles in making a good inaugural address. But it's obviously a "mission impossible" to study the whole family of rhetoric techniques in

inaugural addresses. So I'll only choose one important and active member in the rhetoric family—metaphor, because it's used most frequently in presidents' inaugural addresses, and I'll use three American presidents' inaugural addresses as my samples.

I hope that through my research I can find out the usage of metaphors in those addresses, and what effects they make respectively on the theme the addressers want to deliver. And I also hope that the comparison and contrast among the three different speeches will give us some clues about the change of American's political, economic, municipal, and diplomatic tactics in different periods.

22 What is euphemism? Define it briefly in your own words. Then, study the following euphemistic expressions carefully and write out their non-euphemistic equivalents in the third

column.(16/150)

23 The following statements are some items listed in a questionnaire designed to investigate Chinese high school students' motivation in learning English. Read these statements and fulfill three tasks: 1)provide your definition of motivation in language learning; 2)categorize the statements in relation to different types of motivation; and

3)based on your definition of motivation, add at least TWO more items to the questionnaire(You can write the items in Chinese).(16/150)

研途考研2018南京大学英语语言学考研备考经验分享

研途宝考研https://www.wendangku.net/doc/a615008947.html,/ 距离复试成绩公布已经有两个多月了，前天通知书到了终于心里面踏实了，想着该写点啥，自己也从论坛里面收获了不少，想着也该回馈一下了。不知道现在来写会不会被鄙视。废话不多说了，进入正题吧。首先介绍下，我是英语语言学方向的，是二战的，略悲剧，今年的初试成绩也献个丑吧，政治66，日语90，基础英语113，语言学109。因为是二战党，所以两年复习的方式不太一样，不过并不代表第一年的复习是徒劳的，正是有了第一年的经验，我第二年才比较顺利的。 政治 首先说说政治吧，我其实政治真的不怎么样，高中学的理科，不过，从我两年的经验来说，我觉得政治这东西说难不难的，说易不易的。我政治每次都是很晚才开始复习的，都是考前两个月突击一下的，第一年没经验报了个班，感觉没啥用。因为不喜欢政治所以很晚才开始复习，但是又因为时间很短，所以我就在考前两个月把一些重点背一背，特别是大题要多背背，我第二年就拿肖秀荣的什么重点的书背的，到时候答题就胡吹乱侃的，一些细节的东西直接pass，毕竟要充分利用好时间嘛，至于选择题可以做做真题模拟题什么的，特别推荐肖秀荣的那个押题版，我感觉他的那本书两年都救我于水火之中，我第二年考前一天晚上狂背那个最后四套题，效果是立竿见影。我政治学得挺差的，我这个是没办法的办法，大家要想多考点分就下点功夫吧。不过南大也不要求政治很高，过线即可，关键是专业课嘛。 日语 日语我可是花了不少时间了，我是从大一开始学日语的，因为本科略差，所以励志考研就很早开始准备了，日语我开始是自学新编，后来又报了班，最后选择南大之后就换成了新标了。日语首先把语法基础打牢了，主要就是新标的那些吧，然后最苦逼的就是背单词了，南大的日语词汇占了四分之一了，而且日语单词有时候读起来很熟悉，可是又想不起来，所以日语单词一定要一遍又一遍的背，我一战的时候是语法单词都顾及，到了二战的时候因为语法已经很熟悉了，几乎第二年日语就是背单词，不过单词容易忘所以特别是临考的时候要多背几遍，我考前两天就拿政治和日语单词背的。技巧方面我是这样的，把假名抄在一张纸上，然后看着假名默想汉字，反之一样，如果比较容易想起来的就可以少复习了，如果老是觉得记不起来就抄到另一张纸上作为重点背诵，就这样一遍一遍的假名汉字，汉字假名轮换的背。我感觉把假名汉字放一起好像都会，分开了就不定能想起来了。

从决定考研开始就一直查各种资料和各种考验心得，经常在high研看师哥师姐们的热血经历，也得到了很多师哥师姐们的帮助，在这里先谢谢大家了。 我准备考研比较早，元旦左右就开始了，因为大三课比较多，所以前期复习时间较短，速度有点慢，因此，如果大家已经有目标，建议越早开始越好The early bird catches the worm! 政治： 暑假开始复习政治，一直到最后都是跟着肖秀荣老师的书在走，1000题很重要，可以抓很多细节性的知识，建议不要在书上直接写，方便后期反复利用。暑假期间可以先看去年大纲，大概有个印象，最后冲刺时四八套题一定要好好背，今年肖老师大题基本都中了。政治最好每天都分配一定的时间，这一科记得快忘的也快。 考研政治每门课都是一个庞大的体系，有着大量的内容。因此需要建构每门课的大体系框架，通过一个框架把整门课连接起来，背李凡政治新时器就够了。以中国近现代史纲要为例，以时间顺序可以把中国近现代史纲要分为两部分，即以1949年10月为分界限的中国近代史和中国现代史。 中国近代史又可分为两部分，即以“五四运动”为界限的旧民主主义运动和新民主主义运动两部分。在这两个阶段有一条非常明显的主线：列强对中国的侵略和中华民族各个阶层为了中国的独立所做出的努力。 根据这条主线旧民主主义运动又可以分为几个部分，即地主阶级、资产阶级维新派、资产阶级革命派、农民阶级做出的尝试，分别是“洋务运动”“戊戌变法”“辛亥革命”“太平天国运动”和“义和团运动”。“五四运动”后的新民主主义运动也可根据主线分为几个阶段，即第一次国内革命战争时期，国共十年对峙时期，抗日战争时期，解放战争时期。 中国现代史就是新中国的建设史，可以根据这条主线分为几个阶段，即1949~1956年的过渡时期，1956~1966年的社会主义建设时期，1966~1976年的“十年文革”时期，1976以后的社会主义建设新时期。 二外法语： 本科学校教材是新大学法语，我复习用过的资料有：考研必备，二外法语考研综合（肖红），和圣才出版的名校历年二外真题，不过这些书提供的答案有些
