西南大学考研——英语语言文学时间飞快，我的整个考研过程已经结束，我当初报考西南大学外国语言学及应用语言学专业，有许多同学分不清英语语言学和外应的区别，其实这个分类初试都是一样的，没有任何区别，大家可以完全一样地看待。

我初试分数没能上西南大学的复试线，差了复试线4分，后来我成功调剂到了云南师范大学的外国语言学及应用语言学专业，关于调剂的经验后面也可以跟大家说说；虽然我没能进入西南大学的复试，但我认为自己还有很多所谓的经验可以分享给学弟学妹，我的专业课成绩并不差，但也一般，日语却拖了我很大的后腿，我身边的同学也有被政治拖很大后腿的，所以想跟大家分享分享复习时候要注意的问题。

语言学：指定参考用书为刘润清的《新编语言学教程》；文旭的《语言学导论》，文旭和杨坤额《新编英语词汇学教程》（今年新加的）；今年的语言学考试总的来说就是“背多分”，很多很多都是书上的，只要你熟读熟背，语言学是可以拿高分的，大家要注意，在参考历年真题的时候，不要只注重真题会考的题型和内容，比如历年的语言学重点-画树状图分析句子结构，今年就没有考，所以在复习的时候，每一个小点，每一个章节，都要在理解的基础上，背得滚瓜烂熟；去年学校新加了《词汇学》这本书，这本书是2015年才出版的新书，在看参考答案之前，我都是看一章，自己去总结答案，本以为这本新加的书不会考多少，就没有像《新编语言学教程》和《语言学导论》那么看重，结果在这次考试中，有的名词明明有印象，却想不起书上的解释了；还有在这次的考试中，明明平时记得很熟的造词法中的blending，在考场上怎么也想不起来，那道题可能丢了四五分，当时觉得几分而已，现在想来，也许就是这几分，让你和西大从此就错过了。

所以，不要轻视任何一本参考书，每一本参考书都有它的价值。

我认为，在复习过程中，先通读一遍教材，把不懂的生词查阅标注，第一遍读不懂是很正常的；读第二遍的时候，就可以借助一些辅助资料，对每一章节进行理解性阅读，读第二遍的时候，就可以参照参考书，理解性地阅读，这时候是不需要背诵的，主要是理解；《语言学导论》网上是没有参考书的，这本书是西南大学外语学院文旭院长自己出的书，所以我找人买了西南大学本科上语言学课的课件和视频，他们西大本科语言学就用的这本书，并且视频是官方出版的，其中有几章还是文旭院长亲自教授的，这视频和课件我都有，需要的同学可以找我，当初我就是看着视频，然后做一些笔记在书上；第二遍细读之后，我已经大致了解和理解书本上的内容，所以我接下来就根据自己的理解，读第三遍书，与此同时，开始整理笔记到笔记本上，我记笔记的时候，是左页纸写《新编语言学教程》的内容，右页写《语言学导论的内容》，并且我只是写下大概的思维导图，写下框架，如果两本书内容重合了，首选《语言学导论》上概念，因为这是西大自己出的书，考试时看重得多，这样记笔记，既可以对比两本书，又可以在脑中形成框架，我觉得这个方法对我特别好；在这之后，你们就可以根据自己的熟练程度和时间安排，一遍一遍刷书，然后背诵课后习题，课后习题我是一共认认真真背了三四遍，默写了两遍；《词汇学》因为准备得晚，我就只是看书看了两遍，然后开始背诵课后习题，背了两遍，时间多的同学，一定要多背多看。

Eight of his neighbors sold their homes in one 10-yearperiod. Only his wife stood by his side.“Mywife and I love ach other,” he says. “And she is deaf inone ear.”Julie’scondition had no connection to her husband’s strident snoozing(打盹儿).But even with diminished hearing, she found it hard to sleep—andthough to get up each day to get their two boys off to school. “Ijust thought most men sound like a electric saw in t he bedroom,”she says.Aftertwo decades of sleeplessness, Julie entered Mel in a local contest,sponsored by a British newspaper in 1984, to find the loudest snoringhusband in the United Kingdom. Until then, Mel had not realized thescope of his snore.Thecontest turned out to be the best thing she ever did. In one bravestroke, Julie turned her husband into an international celebrity ofsorts. Suddenly, she and Mel were flying to Japan, so that doctorscould measure his snoring on national TV.“Iguess there are better reasons to be famous,” Mel says.“Butif people are sending you to Tokyo, why fight it?”Thefolks at Guinness were quick to certify him, and all the attentionbrought hundreds of would-be remedies—including one thatfinally worked.Aboutfour years ago, New York entrepreneur Robert Ross gave Mel a Chineseherbal concoction that he now markets throughout North America asY-snore.Y-snorechanged the Switzers’ life. Just a few drops in the nose andMel is silent as a lamb.
