When preparing for a language and gender discursive essay, you all know to make sure you cover the three Ds. But additionally, you can find something to dispute these theories, helping you explore both sides of the argument.
Read this article taken from an extract of a book by linguist Deborah Cameron - here she disputes the difference and deficit theories. Read and study this for a different perspective on gendered language, and go on to explore Cameron's other writings on this topic.
Good luck in your ongoing revision - remember to do some wider reading to help broaden your horizons and expand you knowledge, you may find a really excellent article that you can extract ideas from. Do this for all the Paper 2 topics!
