2010年英语专八听力mini-lecture原文+解析
今年的讲座名为“Paralinguistic Features of Languages”，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。

The third is huskiness, which is to show unimportants. The fourth is nasality. This is to indicate anxiety. The last is extra lip-rounding, which express greater intimacy, expecially with babies, for example. So we can e that there are a number of ways of altering our tone of voice. And when we do this consciously, we do it to create different effects in communication.
Now, let's come to the cond category, physical paralinguistic features, which involves the body. In addition to convey meanings with tone of voice, we can also express our intentions through the ways in which we u our bodies. You may

But there are other facial expressions that may not be so common. For instance, raising eye-brows - suggest that you are surprid or interested in something.
