常見錯誤
- 1high涉及分數: 15Child Language Acquisition
Adopting a 'deficit model' to describe child language development, focusing on what children cannot do rather than constructively explaining their developmental phonetic, orthographical, or morphological strategies.
如何避免: View non-standard orthography or grammar as active indicators of developmental stages (e.g., phonetic spelling strategies, rule-overgeneralisation like 'sweetcorns' or 'comeded'). Anchor observations in established frameworks such as Gentry, Nelson, or Halliday. - 2high涉及分數: 10Investigating Language (Research)
Dumping pre-prepared or memorized research essays in Paper 3 Section B instead of directly engaging with the specific evaluative terms of the provided statement.
如何避免: Deconstruct the exact prompt statement in the introduction. Use your independent research database selectively to explicitly argue for, against, or balance the specific terms presented in the statement. - 3medium涉及分數: 12Individual Variation / Variation over Time
Presenting list-like, block-by-block descriptions of Text A then Text B in Paper 1 essays, which fails to establish continuous, integrated comparison (AO4).
如何避免: Structure your comparison continuously. Dedicate paragraphs to specific linguistic levels (e.g., syntax or phonology) or thematic links, analyzing both texts alongside each other in every paragraph. - 4medium涉及分數: 10Variation over Time
Treating older, historical texts (Paper 1 Section B) as comprehension exercises or loading them with memorized, unanchored historical facts without tying them to linguistic shifts.
如何避免: Anchor every historical context remark directly to phonetic, lexical, syntactic, or orthographical patterns found in the provided texts (e.g., standardizing spelling, capitalizing nouns for significance, or using long noun phrases). - 5high涉及分數: 8Linguistic Transcription
Failing to integrate precise phonemic analysis and transcriptional symbols when writing about regional variation or child spoken language, relying on vague descriptions instead.
如何避免: Use the provided English Phonemic Reference Sheet. Transcribe key pronunciations (e.g., th-fronting as /f/ or glottal stops /ʔ/) inside slant brackets to secure high AO1 and AO2 marks.
