英美文学与语言学篇一：2017年南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研

南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研

近期，有不少同学和朋友问我关于考研的问题（主要是南师大外院英语语言学、英美文学考研）。在此，我就把我所知道的信息和个人当初的学习方法介绍如下：

对于正打算或正在准备中的考研同学：

1， 到南师研究生网站上（百度里输入“南京师范大学研究生院”），查看最新的硕士研究生招生简章目录和参考书目，根据自己的兴趣选择专业。如图：

以“050201 英语语言文学”专业为例，这个专业包括四个方向“01 英美文学、02 英语语言与文化、03 翻译理论、04 美国文明”，共招39人，每个方向各招多少人不定，根据每年报考人数与录取人数比例而定。每个方向都是考4门科目，右栏中都有相应的解释。其中科目一：政治是全国统考；科目二：二外自选（本人考得日语，据说，法语易得高分，但还是应该根据当前所学二外，毕竟有基础）；科目三：外国语言文学基础知识与汉语写作（09年前是综合英语，10-15年改成了翻译与写作，考核的知识点也逐渐发生了变化，需要参考历年真题具体分析和参考），16年主要考核各语种考生应该具备的汉语写作能力和外国语言与文学基础知识，例如重要的外国文学和语言学概念、具有世界影响的重要作家和语言学家等，

用汉语命题和作答，这也体现了一点：尽管是学外语的，汉语言也不能太low啊！科目四：英语语言学基础知识与翻译or英语文学基础知识与翻译（考试科目与自己报考的专业课保持一致），就是专业课英语语言学or英美文学（09年前是用英文答卷，10-15年改成汉语答题，16年又是英文作答了。但是参考书目和考核大纲基本没变，只是答题形式有所变化）。16年将翻译放在专业课考试中了，具体怎么考的、考的什么还未知，因为真题还没公布。

2，选择了专业后，根据所选专业去买历年真题，以便了解题型、考点和分值，复习时能做到面面俱到、主次分明和重点突出。南师大本校购买地点：南师大仙林校区笃学楼四楼有卖，二外15元一份，其它10元一份；我也有卖（英语语言学：04年初复试—15年初复试；英美文学：05年初复试—15年初复试；外国语言文学基础知识与汉语写作、翻译：05年—15年（注：翻译与写作10年、16年在考试形式上均进行了改革，但考试内容类似）；日语：05年—15年；法语：05年--15年）。所有的真题均为6元一份，语言学真题也有答案卖（内部的，这个很有参考价值；南师大从来不对外公布答案的），10元一份，此外，我有语言学的中文笔记和英文笔记卖，49元一份（笔记保证全面、主次分明，我复习时，只看笔记，很少看书，初试127分，复试129分），价格应该是最可靠最便宜的吧！此外，也有英美文学英文笔记卖，29元一份（因为不是我主打，所以便宜些，但也保证质量和权威）。外地的同学，可以通过快递方式购买（下面有我的联系方式，可以先咨询我一下）；南京的同学可以提前联系我，到南师大随园校区（老校区）来拿就行了（宁海路122号）。联系方式在最下面。但是我说一下，这个购买的事自愿啊，感觉到哪儿买最好就到哪儿买（反正最保险可靠的卖点肯定是南师大本校啦，只是贵些而已罢了），其实我也不是来做买卖的。之所以今天发这个帖子，因为我感觉世上还是好人多。为什么？因为我自己在参加考研复习时，我曾得到了一位学长和两位学姐的持续的热情的帮助，使我少走了很多弯路，指导我有针对性地复习，让我更有信心地准备考试，最终能如愿以偿！此外，还因为当我每次在生活中遇到困难和问题时，在百度知道里搜搜，往往就能找到满意的解决方法，这些方法就是那些无私的人们的无私奉献啊！也许

他们会得到什么积分，但那还是虚拟的一些东西，我想这样的人内心一定很快乐、很坦荡??

3， 买了真题后，好好分析后，就准备去买参考书吧！用什么参考书，南师大研究生网站招生说明里也有，不过我们实际复习过程中的参考书目要比学校规定的多得多，根据我们考研的复习经验总结如下：（在此，先说明一下，我不卖参考书目啊，只有各科历年真题和笔记啊）

英语语言学：

①《新编简明英语语言学教程》，主编戴炜栋、何兆熊，上海外语教育出版社（2010年第2版）。（考研的同学可以到考研书店去看看。南京的同学可以去山西路军人俱乐部看看；外地的同学到淘宝网或当当网上看看，当当网购买超过30几元以上都不要运费的，据说书都是正版的，但可能比淘宝网上贵点，你自己比划比划吧！还有，周围有二手书店的，也可以到那里去看看，虽说二手的，一便宜，二上面可能有前辈们划过的重点哦！）

②《新编简明英语语言学教程》学习指南 主编 张鑫友 华中师范大学出版社 （这本书算是上面这本书的中文翻译本，此外每章后面还附加了更多的名词解释；16年需要考核外国语言文学基础知识，这本书就起到用处了！）

③《语言学教程》 主编 胡壮麟 北京大学出版社 2002年版 ：有人说也要看这本书，根据我的经验，这本书很难，跟戴炜栋的书编的结构不太一样，内容因为多所以有点繁琐。那我们该怎么办呢？方法一：为了节约时间和精力，我们不可能把这本书从头看到尾，但是这本书上的“树形图（句子和词）”都得掌握，在看戴炜栋书上内容感到疑惑不解时，可以到这本书上查查、补充。方法二：除了“树形图（句子和词）”，我其它都没看，但是有时真题中会出现一两个这本书上的名词解释，但我都会，为什么？因为我看了上面所介绍的那个笔记，里面有补充的名词解释（本着良心传递消息，我不是开“吹吧”的），自己把握好。

英美文学：

英文版的：

① 《英美文学选读》，桂扬清、吴翔林编著，中国对外翻译公司 （增订版或北大版均可）；《英国文学简史》 刘炳善；好像还有一本南师大老师程爱民编的美国文学的书，叫什么名字，不太清楚，也可以参考的。

中文版的：

① 《美国文学简史》学习指南 常耀信 （买时要确认一下是不是中文版） ②英国文学简史学习指南 赵红英 （买时要确认一下是不是中文版） ③ 文学真题里的大题目，由于有时找不到相关答案，所以有人搜索一些人家写的相关的论文，从论文里寻找相关的答案。

外国语言文学基础知识、汉语写作：

没有指定参考书目，但根据个人经验，推认为：

专八考试中的文学常识、英美文学、语言学的中文参考书都要过几遍。

外国语言文学基础知识主要考核各语种考生应该具备的汉语写作能力和外国语言与文学基础知识，例如重要的外国文学和语言学概念、具有世界影响的重要作家和语言学家等，用汉语命题和作答，题型：选择题、名词解释、简答题、汉语写作等。

汉语写作类似高考作文，多练习如何审题和行文，可以多看看《读者》之类的文章。

翻译：

没有指定参考书目，但根据个人复习经验，推荐：

①《英译中国现代散文选》一、二、三 张培基 译注 上海外语教育出版社

②《散文佳作108篇》 译林出版社、《英汉·汉英美文翻译与鉴赏》 译林出版社，刘士聪

注：①和②随便选一套就可以了，两套都买的话，没那么多时间复习啊。 ③ 此外，一定要多看看类似 “China Daily”、“21世纪”等这样的英文杂志，学习一些常见表达和句型，这一点很重要，里面的内容与考研题目很相似。 ④ 英文写作（如果要考核）：专八水平吧，看一下真题，今年有点变动，根据专八作文题目，多练练，熟能生巧。

二外日语：

①《标准日本语》初级 上、下 ，小书、老版 人民教育出版社

② 《标准日本语同步练习》 何宝年 陕西师范大学出版社 ***据说这书已经改成“套题格式”的了（像王长喜/星火英语的四六级真题一样，一份一份的，以前是一本书），但是内容一样。这本书现在已经绝版了，不知道还能不能买到。不过，书上题目很好，往年还考到原题，但2010年基本没有，何老师现在在国外，现在不是他出题了，但这本书依然很重要。两本书细看，掌握到位，谁出题都会考得不错的！

二外法语：

① 《法语》（1-3册），马晓宏等著， 外语教学与研究出版社；据说，1、2要看透，3看一下语法。《法语基础语法》，广州外国语学院编，商务印书馆。 ② 《法语习题集》 大概是这个名字，南师大外院自编的，深绿和浅绿两本。南师大随园校区500号楼一楼有售，好像两本是50元。

③ 《大学法语考研必备》世界图书出版社

政治：

《肖秀荣命题人精讲精练》、《肖秀荣命题人1000题》、《命题人冲刺八套卷》、《命题人最后四套卷》，书很多，找适合自己的。此外，我还报了文都，也有同学报新东方、领航、文登、海文，没有好坏之分，报了图个心安，也帮助自己理解，关键在于自己。

注1：

① 翻译理论、英语语言与文化、外国语语言学及应用语言学的英语语言学的考试科目，英美文学、美国文明的英美文学的考试科目也都一模一样，参考书、历年真题也一样。

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!
