よくあるミス
- 1high影響する配点: 10Child Language Acquisition
Treating phonetic variations or transcript features in child language as 'mistakes', 'errors', or 'deficits' rather than rule-governed developmental milestones.
回避方法: Identify child pronunciation variants as systematic phonological patterns (like consonant cluster reduction or substitution) and align them with theories of cognitive and linguistic acquisition. - 2high影響する配点: 12Language Analysis
Engaging in superficial 'feature spotting' by listing linguistic terminology without analyzing the communicative purpose or contextual link.
回避方法: Always pair every identified feature (e.g., passive voice, Latinate vocabulary) with a specific explanation of its pragmatic function, audience impact, or contextual relevance. - 3high影響する配点: 12Topical Language Writing
Failing to adopt the specified spoken persona and register in Paper 1 Section B, resulting in dry academic essays rather than engaging transactional texts.
回避方法: Carefully model your writing on the requested genre (speech, script, or column). Use rhetorical devices designed for the ear, establish a clear voice, and explicitly target your peer/lay audience. - 4medium影響する配点: 6Topical Language Writing
Exceeding the 500-word limit in the topical writing task (Section B), which results in a loss of structural cohesion, focus, and stylistic economy.
回避方法: Keep arguments highly focused and economical. Plan 3 core points maximum and edit ruthlessly to keep your response strictly around the 500-word mark. - 5high影響する配点: 12Language Change
Structuring Paper 2 Section C (Language Change) chronologically like a history book instead of comparing features under logical linguistic levels.
回避方法: Structure essays systematically around linguistic frameworks (orthography, syntax, lexis, pragmatics) and contrast both texts dynamically within each section. - 6medium影響する配点: 8Child Language Acquisition
Failing to analyze grammatical features and phonology equally in child language transcripts, focusing almost entirely on vocabulary.
回避方法: Ensure you address child syntax (such as verb mood, negation, clause structures, and pronouns) alongside lexical choices and phonology.
