  1. Tackling question 1b Language Diverstiy

  2. Before writing • Read and annotate both texts. • Consider the key constituents • Consider similarities and differences

  3. PLAN • Write the KC beside some points • Make sure you make notes on how the context is reflected in the language of the text • Number your notes!!

  4. Writing your answer • Start with comments about the provenance of the texts • Say what kind of text it is • When, where was it written • By whom and for whom

  5. Writing your answer • Stick with P-E-A-C*-E • In the explain try to include • some analysis of language • some reference to the context • and possibly a link to the other text *Context or Comparison?

  6. Comparing texts Either write a paragraph on each text in turn Or Write a P-E-E-Link paragraph (Best to use a mixture of both!)

  7. Be careful to answer the question. It usually asks you about an issue that is reflected in the language. For example, attitudes towards religion and religious language.

  8. Typical Question: • (b) Texts 2 and 3 are examples of _______writing. • Analyse and comment on what these texts show about the changing nature of _________writing, using your knowledge about the ways in which language and meaning are influenced by changes in social context. • (AO1 = 10, AO2 = 15, AO3 = 15)

  9. AOs • AO1: Select and apply a range of linguistic methods, to • communicate relevant knowledge using appropriate terminology • and coherent, accurate written expression (10 marks) • AO2: Demonstrate critical understanding of a range of concepts • and issues related to the construction and analysis of meanings inspoken and written language, using knowledge of linguistic • approaches (15 marks) • AO3: Analyse and evaluate the influence of contextual factors on • the production and reception of spoken and written language, • showing knowledge of the key constituents of language (15 marks)

  10. Example of a 1b paragraph Text A and Text C both represent school as a place where one gains independence from parents and where identity is transformed. The boy in text A seems to exaggerate his condition with medical lexis such as ‘chilblains’ and ‘consumption’ and the many negative collocations such as ‘I have not made’ and ‘I will try not’. In text C the poetic dialect is juxtaposed with the standard form to demonstrate how children can lose touch with their background and how the prescriptive atmosphere of the classroom can impose regularity and stifle the child’s creativity.
