I’ve created a comprehensive set of notes for every topic in A Level English Language. There are 9 pages here full of theorists, linguists, facts, stats, examples, real world application and more. I used these notes only alongside practice questions & achieved an A* in 2017.
Why they work:
- Easy to learn, concise, bullet point revision notes
- Omitted endless details on methodology and results
- Replaced these with meaningful comments on each study to form the basis of your argument in the exam (crucial to enter top bands!)
Summary sheet includes:
- theories and models of change i.e. S curve, semantic reclamation, descriptivism/ prescriptivism, damp spoon/ crumbling castle/ infectious disease, substratum theory, wave model, functional theory
- metaphors for change and language discourses
- a table of linguists and their studies, findings, opinions (really useful to refer to)
- detailed breakdown of debate over whether language change is a process of evolution or decay
- texting and change
- how new words cause change
- politcal corrrectness and change
- technology and language change
- outline of answer to essay question ‘discuss how new words enter the language’
