© Language changes… The English Language is much better now there is one correct form that everyone can stick to. The kind of people who can ’ t spell are unwashed semi- literate troublemakers. Language was much more elegant and poetic in Shakespeare ’ s time. Historical texts are refreshingly untainted by contemporary political correctness. ? ? ? ?

© Killing the fabulous beast of language change Individual language use changes at different speeds and in different ways during each of our lives. This inconsistent, idiosyncratic pattern is also true of language change in society, because it is driven by the habits, practices and fashions of its individual users. Language change is not some fabulous beast gradually adapting and evolving in some parallel Jurassic Park world.

© Language changes… because people and the things they want to do with it change because the language resources available to them change because the technological means of written and spoken communication change.

© And… that change can be described precisely in linguistic terms accounted for in relation to context and illuminated by reference to ideas about language.

© What does this mean for ENB6? You need a good method for analysing unfamiliar text(s) from different times. This method needs to pay attention to language change detail, but also to context and to ideas about language drawn from the course. Ideally, an answer should be a conceptualised discussion, not a blow by blow explanation of the data.
