2010年英语专八听力mini-lecture原文+解析.pdfVIP

今年的讲座名为“ParalinguisticFeaturesofLanguages”，主题是辅助语言学，对

于英语专业的学生来说，这个话题或许没有专门学过，但并不陌生。讲座类的内容非常突

出的特点就是逻辑性强，思路很清晰，所以在听音频做笔记的时候，要特别注意总起性质

的句子。一般来说lecture的第一段会对接下来的内容做总结介绍，如果下文划分成若干

个小类别，会概括性地提到这些类别，然后在后文进行详细的例证、再分类。第一段对给

考生一个宏观性的思路非常重要，听漏掉一两点也没关系，下文必然会重新提到。

本次真题的听力原文如下，注意文章中标粗的部分，是记笔记的重点部分：
