Language Change
This handout explains Jean Aitchison’s views on language change, focusing on the Damp Spoon Syndrome, Crumbling Castle View, and Infectious Disease Assumption. It explores how these metaphors reflect common negative attitudes toward language evolution, providing examples and strategies for analysing language in relation to these perspectives. Perfect for A-Level English Language exams, this resource helps students critically assess language change and societal perceptions of it.
