Language Bits and Pieces!

Morning!

To get you warmed up, I would like you to have a go at this grammar test. Be honest and let me know how you get on. Make a note of any grammar points you are unsure of and find out the correct answer! You'll be pleased to know I did get 14/14 : )

Grammar Test

Then I would like you to start working on some gender and language research.

1) Find out about Peter Trudgill's Norwich Research. What did he study and what were his findings?
2) Find out about Robin Lakoff's research. She explored the ways in which women's language was deficient when compared to men's. In what ways does she suggest female language is deficient?

Post your responses on your blog please!

Watch this video and comment on what is being suggested about language and gender.

Finally, return to the text we started to explore in the other lesson and write at least one developed and well constructed paragraph in response to the question. Please email me your response and we will explore them next lesson.

Have fun!
