1. Core Parts of Speech | 核心词性速记
The first step in any lexical analysis is identifying the grammatical function of words. In CCEA AS English, you need to confidently recognise nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and determiners. Familiarity with these categories allows you to discuss a writer’s stylistic choices precisely and forms the backbone of any language commentary.
任何词汇分析的第一步都是确定词语的语法功能。在 CCEA AS 英语中，你需要自信地识别名词、动词、形容词、副词、代词、介词、连词和限定词。熟悉这些类别将使你能够精确地讨论作者的风格选择，并构成任何语言评论的基石。
| Term | Definition | 中文术语 | Memory Aid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noun | A word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. | 名词 | Think of ‘name’ → Noun. |
| Verb | An action or state word; the engine of a clause. | 动词 | ‘Verb’ sounds like ‘vibrant’ — it gives energy. |
| Adjective | Describes or modifies a noun. | 形容词 | It ‘adds’ information to the object → adjective. |
| Adverb | Modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, often ending in -ly. | 副词 | Adverb = ‘ad’ (towards) + ‘verb’ — it adds detail to the action. |
| Pronoun | Replaces a noun to avoid repetition (e.g., he, she, it, they). | 代词 | ‘Pro’ = for; it stands for a noun. |
| Preposition | Shows relationship of time, place, or direction (e.g., in, on, under). | 介词 | Imagine a ‘position’ word: pre-position. |
| Conjunction | Links words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, because). | 连词 | ‘Con’ = together, ‘junction’ = join — it joins together. |
| Determiner | Introduces a noun and clarifies definiteness (e.g., the, a, his, some). | 限定词 | It determines which noun we mean — ‘the’ vs ‘a’. |
2. Lexical Relations | 词汇关系速记
Words rarely exist in isolation; they are connected through networks of meaning. Understanding lexical relations such as synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and collocation helps you analyse how writers create nuances, build cohesion, and generate specific effects. These relationships are frequent topics in CCEA text analysis questions.
词语很少孤立存在；它们通过意义网络相互联系。理解同义、反义、上下义和搭配等词汇关系有助于你分析作者如何创造细微差别、构建衔接并产生特定效果。这些关系是 CCEA 文本分析题中的常见话题。
| Term | Definition | 中文术语 | Memory Aid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synonym | A word with the same or very similar meaning (e.g., happy/joyful). | 同义词 | ‘Syn’ = same, ‘onym’ = name → same name. |
| Antonym | A word opposite in meaning (e.g., hot/cold). | 反义词 | ‘Anti’ = against; opposite in meaning. |
| Hyponym | A specific term within a broader category (e.g., ‘rose’ is a hyponym of ‘flower’). | 下义词 | Think of ‘hypo’ as under: a subordinate word. |
| Hypernym | The broader, superordinate category (e.g., ‘flower’ is the hypernym of ‘rose’). | 上义词 | ‘Hyper’ = over, above — the umbrella term. |
| Meronym | A term that denotes part of a whole (e.g., ‘wheel’ is a meronym of ‘car’). | 部分词 | ‘Mero’ = part; it names a part of something. |
| Collocation | Words that habitually appear together (e.g., ‘blonde hair’, ‘heavy rain’). | Published by TutorHao | Year 12 English Revision Series | aleveler.com
