根据历届试题与评分标准整理(2022–2024)。

常见错误

  1. 1high涉及分数: 10Child Language Acquisition

    Treating phonetic variations or transcript features in child language as 'mistakes', 'errors', or 'deficits' rather than rule-governed developmental milestones.

    如何避免: Identify child pronunciation variants as systematic phonological patterns (like consonant cluster reduction or substitution) and align them with theories of cognitive and linguistic acquisition.
  2. 2high涉及分数: 12Language Analysis

    Engaging in superficial 'feature spotting' by listing linguistic terminology without analyzing the communicative purpose or contextual link.

    如何避免: Always pair every identified feature (e.g., passive voice, Latinate vocabulary) with a specific explanation of its pragmatic function, audience impact, or contextual relevance.
  3. 3high涉及分数: 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.

    如何避免: 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.
  4. 4medium涉及分数: 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.

    如何避免: Keep arguments highly focused and economical. Plan 3 core points maximum and edit ruthlessly to keep your response strictly around the 500-word mark.
  5. 5high涉及分数: 12Language Change

    Structuring Paper 2 Section C (Language Change) chronologically like a history book instead of comparing features under logical linguistic levels.

    如何避免: Structure essays systematically around linguistic frameworks (orthography, syntax, lexis, pragmatics) and contrast both texts dynamically within each section.
  6. 6medium涉及分数: 8Child Language Acquisition

    Failing to analyze grammatical features and phonology equally in child language transcripts, focusing almost entirely on vocabulary.

    如何避免: Ensure you address child syntax (such as verb mood, negation, clause structures, and pronouns) alongside lexical choices and phonology.
