Today I want you to focus on re-capping what you know about accent, dialect and sociolect in order to plan a response to one of these discursive questions (Paper 2 Q1):
- Evaluate the idea that the language of different social groups can, over time, lead to significant language change.
- Evaluate the idea that different social groups develop very different vocabularies, often unique to their sociolect.
- Evaluate the idea that the language of social groups can be affected by changes in technology.
Use my blog, any relevant TED Talks we have watched, the textbook your own notes and the following posts from Dan Clayton's blog to help you plan your response:
Once you have planned your points, start writing your essay in the discursive style required for this question. Refer back to your mock exams if you need help.
