Re: English language aqa unit 3 exam (engb3) 25th janI thought question 01 was horrible, because I knew that the paper was synoptic but I had no idea there'd be so much gender stuff in there. I felt kind of cheated because I knew I could've done so much better in that one if I'd revised gender as well as language acquisition.
Question 04, on the other hand... GOD SEND. Loved it! -

Re: English language aqa unit 3 exam (engb3) 25th janI thought it was the other way round. Question 01 was ok but the second section was harder! I did question 04, hate language change so much...What did all you write about if you did question 04 for language change?

Re: English language aqa unit 3 exam (engb3) 25th janI really don't understand the descriptivist and prescriptivist attitudes to language change and how you find examples that fit with the attitudes if you get me? Did anyone include this in question 04?

Re: English language aqa unit 3 exam (engb3) 25th janFor question 1 I think I got a fair few theories in. I included Nativism, Cognitivism and behaviourism - Then loads of different people's stages. I think I got Jean Aitchison's, Bellugi's, Brown's, Halliday's and Dore's in there! Not much for language change though.(Original post by Dimyan)
I really don't know if i did well or not. Managed to get a fair few frameworks in both but not a lot of theorists

Re: English language aqa unit 3 exam (engb3) 25th janI think i put Halliday's in and a few more, even though its been less then a week i've forgot what i put already. I remember i put Sharron Goodman in the Change part but that's about it.(Original post by JakeE10)
