Sichuan University Linguistics and Applied Linguistics Postgraduate Entrance Examination Experience Sharing?

First of all, let me introduce my own situation. My undergraduate college is the last one in China, and my undergraduate major is Chinese international education. I chose Sichuan University Linguistics as my postgraduate entrance examination direction, because I am very interested in linguistics and want to take a master's degree for further study in the future. Second, because my home is in Sichuan, Sichuan University can be regarded as the best school in Sichuan. There was also a struggle in the primary school, because Sichuan University took the comprehensive examination, and my own literary foundation was not very solid. I was also asking myself if I had the courage to overcome the difficulties. At the same time, I also considered that the comprehensive examination was a trend, and it was not as good as last stand's.

Some suggestions about reviewing the timeline throughout the year

Everyone has his own learning progress, so it is the most scientific to plan the review progress according to his own study habits. Don't blindly imitate others. Generally speaking, the foundation is laid before September, and the summer vacation is the best time to lay the foundation. During this time, you can start reciting professional courses. The sooner you recite professional courses, the better. It is best to start on the first day of postgraduate review. Starting from September, there will be people around you who continue to study, find jobs, give up exams, etc. Don't shake your faith because of environmental factors. Since you have decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you should prepare for the exam in a down-to-earth manner and cherish the time. November basically entered the sprint stage, and it is only important to consolidate the knowledge points during this time. In December, you must start reciting Xiao Si early. The electronic version will appear on the Internet first. Get the electronic version resources and start reciting it as soon as possible. Don't be lucky enough to recite only the first set of Grandpa Xiao. It is the safest and not difficult to recite all four sets of papers. Don't be influenced by anything before the exam. It's most important to keep your mind steady. Book the hotel in advance, don't eat greasy food for the two days of the exam, and treat everything as usual.

public course

(1), modern Chinese and ancient Chinese

1. Modern Chinese

Every reference book needs to be read first, focusing on Yang Ben and Zhang Ben. I just read Hu Ben and Huang Liaoben, and didn't take notes.

Yang Ben:

The first time, take notes while watching (the notes are more detailed than the notebook)

The second time, sort out the notes and condense them into logical framework notes

The notebook:

The first time, read (the notes taken are logical framework notes)

The second time, look at the details against the notes (because the notebook is very thin) )

The integration of the two books,

The third time, the comparison of the two books, marked with pens of different colors.

for the fourth time, read your notes repeatedly and recall the knowledge you missed. Only the knowledge you can recall can be mastered by yourself.

as for how long you read each book, I think it depends on your speed and carefulness. Generally speaking, the first and second passes take much longer. Also, Zhang Ben has an exercise to buy and do. I always do it twice before doing the real problem. The first time is after reading the second book, and I finish it in the order of each chapter. The second time is to take it out and do it again after the start of school in September to see the missing parts of your knowledge points.

2. Ancient Chinese

Teacher Wang Li's ancient Chinese focuses on the first and second volumes, and all the key articles in the third and fourth volumes will be distributed, so we should also read them. You can also find some selected works to try to translate. The scores of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese this year are 6 and 9 respectively, so we must not treat ancient Chinese lightly. The plan for ancient Chinese is to divide the teaching materials of ancient Chinese into three sections.

Selected Works

Look at the original text and the translation given by Senior Sister. It is necessary to understand the content of each article and the key words and sentence patterns

common words

to know the original meaning, and to distinguish some similar words.

general theory

this knowledge is difficult, but it will be very simple to have your own ideas, for example, it can be divided into phonetics, vocabulary, sentence patterns and so on.

Ps: You can buy Wang Li's version of the reference book, and there are exercises and the like that you can practice.

(2) Literary Criticism Writing

Bibliography is based on the reference books of Sichuan University, so it is not recommended.

I was really speechless when I first faced this subject. Because I really don't know where to start. I didn't understand the reference books I read. However, after collecting some information, I got a general understanding of each genre, and then sorted out my notes according to the genre. This subject is all about reading more books and reciting more. It would be better if there is information.

as for the writing part, I bought the revision of my senior's literary criticism writing, which is really excellent! ! ! Senior sister is patient, and each article has detailed comments. You must practice this writing to know where your problems are. Then sum up your own writing characteristics and sort out several templates. Maybe you can use your own templates in the exam. (ps: Be sure to pay attention to your writing time. )

(3) English

My English is not good, so I was worried about this subject when I first prepared for the postgraduate entrance examination.

But English is a subject that pays the most attention to the accumulation of quantity, so memorizing words and accumulating materials will have obvious effects in the later stage. In the early stage, I mainly used Zhu Wei's love with words. I watched all the videos, and I probably have the impression of a radical mnemonic method.

Before the summer vacation, my focus is on memorizing words, then doing reading and buying a special reading book to do it. I began to brush the real questions in the summer vacation.

Read the real questions from 97 to 17 for the first time, and do two readings every day.

Read the real questions from 5 to 17 for the second time, and finish one set every three days. (Finish it completely on the first day, translate and read it on the second day, watch the translation and recite the composition on the third day)

Read the real questions from 25 to 17 for the third time, and study the idea of writing the questions. Find out where your mistakes are concentrated.

Go through it roughly for the fourth time and look at the key words.

Some students have brushed it many times, but in fact, I have some memories of the reading I have done in the later period, so I didn't brush it a few times, but studied the idea of writing a question while doing new reading.

(4) Politics

Politics I signed up for the political online class of New Oriental Leg Sister (the money-saving method for poor students) with several students in our dormitory next door and classmates. I started classes in the summer vacation, and I took basic classes for one and a half hours every day.

there will be intensive classes, forecasting classes and so on after the start of school. I think politics can be reported to the class (although I almost crossed the line in politics, hahahaha), because the review of politics starts at a later stage. If you study politics by yourself, you will spend a lot of time. If you have a teacher, you will extract some key points and have a general time plan for your review. It saves you a lot of time to review professional courses, and the form of class is easier to absorb.

But don't pay too little attention to politics like me. I almost crossed the line.

915 China language and literature

must be broad in scope and not too deep in content.

Pay attention to the investigation of basic concepts, and review the notes and outlines in the undergraduate study stage. Cross-disciplinary advice: Ask students of Chinese language and literature in undergraduate course, and it is best to borrow notes.

(1) The literature part (ancient literature/modern and contemporary literature) shows that the proportion of literature is slightly higher in the 19-year comprehensive content distribution. In the case of abundant time, it is suggested to look through the history of China literature from beginning to end, which will help you to establish a general framework of literary history in your mind and recite specific concepts accordingly. The comprehensive investigation is based on the foundation. In principle, you will not deliberately come up with some unpopular concepts to embarrass students. Therefore, you should grasp the main dynasties, main authors, main societies, main works and main styles, and you don't have to spend too much time on some unpopular and blunt knowledge points. (For example, the misty poetry school in the 19-year exam can be said to be the content repeatedly emphasized by the teacher in class.) The real questions in previous years still have great reference value. In addition, seniors and sisters often sort out key concepts as review materials for postgraduate entrance examination, which greatly reduces your personal burden.

(2) Linguistics (modern Chinese/ancient Chinese) The concepts of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese are relatively fragmentary because there is no timeline structure. Therefore, I personally suggest reviewing the textbook (Modern Chinese by Yang Wenquan) and reviewing the notes made during the undergraduate study, which is nothing more than a few modules of pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and rhetoric. Students who have learned more thoroughly during their undergraduate studies will be relaxed. You don't need to memorize the concepts of modern Chinese. You can express them in your own language and examples after understanding them. On the contrary, students who have difficulty in understanding certain concepts during their undergraduate years need to spend more time instead of cramming themselves. Senior students, classmates and teachers are all the objects you can consult, which is more effective than studying alone. The basic concepts in the general theory of ancient Chinese need to be memorized, especially those that appeared in previous years' exams. It's not very likely to take the classical Chinese translation test again. If you want to take the test, most students should be able to cope with it. Students who are not at ease can buy one or two books of Wang Li's ancient Chinese, read the ancient Chinese in their spare time, or borrow specific paragraphs to review some special structures in the ancient Chinese, such as prepositional object and passive sentences. (For example, if you can give examples, you can say a lot.) (3) The proportion of new contents (foreign literature/aesthetics/comparative literature/philology) is relatively small, so it is not recommended to spend too much time on these subjects. We can see that there is continuity between courses, the concept of philology coincides with ancient Chinese, comparative literature coincides with foreign literature, and aesthetics coincides with literary theory. Even though you may not have studied some courses, it only requires you to master some basic concepts. Because of the urgency of the 19-year postgraduate entrance examination, I finally hurried into the examination room after a little look at the basic concepts and the direction of the essay summed up by my seniors and sisters. It is not difficult to simply examine the topic. During the Renaissance of the foreign literature examination, the artistic characteristics of Dante's Divine Comedy were just introduced by the teacher when I was an undergraduate, which was quite impressive. However, there is enough time for the 2th session, and at the same time, the content of the comprehensive examination will be gradually adjusted and refined, so it is safer to cover extensively.

635 literary criticism writing

The content of literary criticism writing is relatively fixed, that is, noun explanation, short answer, discussion and writing.

Noun explanations and short answers are a test of basic knowledge, and reviewing Yan Jiaben's Literary Theory with real questions in previous years several times should be enough. If there are some concepts that you have never seen before, try to analyze them literally and try to make some answers with the theory you know as much as possible.

Essay questions are subjective, and most of them are novel, so it is unlikely that you can get the right answer or get repeated questions. It is suggested that several sets of commonly used theories, such as abrams's viewpoint theory, be refined according to the answers to real questions. If your basic theory is solid enough, there will be something to talk about in the discussion part, but be careful not to go astray suddenly.

The writing of literary criticism should be a concern of many students. It is suggested that the 1,5-word writing should be completed within one hour to one and a half hours as far as possible. After all, the overall amount of questions is still relatively large. If the speed is too slow, it may lead to the late completion of the final part, and the score will be greatly reduced. Therefore, you must ensure that your literary criticism writing is in a completed state.

The writing of literary criticism is not a reflection after reading, nor is it an essay or an essay, so its theory is primary, while its literariness is secondary. Don't put the cart before the horse.

before you start writing, you need a theoretical foothold, that is, the starting point of your whole literary criticism. This "point" can be structural characteristics, language characteristics, character characteristics, narrative characteristics, ideological characteristics and so on. Just as we analyze Hemingway's novels, we will start with iceberg theory or telegraph style.

how to find this "point"-my personal suggestion is to read some excellent students' works over the years, take a look at other people's ideas, learn how to make a three-point discussion on a general idea, summarize and sublimate it, and write down some available literary theories.

After that, choose a novel (it is suggested that it is a real topic in previous years, so don't read it first) and try to write. The practice of writing depends on precision, not quantity. At first, you can just type a draft outline, but you should at least make sure to write a complete practice and ask your seniors and sisters to help you correct it, so as to improve your thinking template.

If you have friends around you who are also studying Chinese language and literature, you can consider exchanging and discussing around the same text and listening to each other's writing ideas. This kind of real-time interaction can not only help you broaden your thinking, but also exercise your thinking agility. This is what I realized in the process of reviewing with my research friends. Personal ideas sometimes have certain limitations, and communication is equivalent to helping you master more ideas.

Finally, let's talk about the second interview. The initial exam is centered on textbooks and teachers, and the second interview is centered on yourself, and you introduce yourself to prepare answers to questions. There is no specific bibliography for the second interview, and the teacher's questions are also random and divergent, so it is also very important to lay a solid foundation for the initial examination. The second interview is an opportunity to show the teacher your response, your expression and your knowledge reserve. Don't be afraid, you are yourself, and lead the teacher to know the special you.
