English Language AQA ENGB3 11th June 2012 exam

she used prepositions and auxiliary verbs that are usually found within post telegraphic, I said post telegraphic as telegraphic is 24-36 months so our 'expectations are that shes in the p. telegraphic stage '

Yeah I kinda thought this that's why I put post telegraphic, although I wish I had Said that you couldn't perfectly fit her into a particular category as she had elements Of both, but what's do e is done now

I played it safe with telegraphic and stated it as normal as she was like borderline and it was clear she didn't have clear grammatical understandings. If she was above 36 months, maybe 37 then she would be lagging behind. That was that i thought.

I concluded at the end that her early phonological errors suggest she is perhaps not at her expected stage, showing understanding that is associated with telegraphic but due to it being a domestic setting it may have affected her language used

Yeah the home setting played heavily in my context. Saying she was relaxed and playing rather than focusing on her language.

Then linked it to both Bruner and Vgotsky! I think I got in most theorists but not Skinner, can't remember! So glad I got Bullugi in there! Err! Do you know the weightings?

I got Vgotsky and Skinner in mainly as Jess made errors similar to her mum so linked it to behaviourist and idiotlect. Got Aitchison in as well.

AO1 is 24
AO2 is 16
AO3 is 8

Yeah because she made syntax errors! I think I slipped that in! The text b was a little harder, got in some halliday and early phonological errors and CDs. Not as much to write about I thought!

Yeah i said that with LAD that she wasn't at the correct stage to understand things, like her sentences structure was much like a telegraph rather than a coherent sentence, which is generally acquired later.

Yeah! Sounds good :L glad it's over! I just need to get at least a D overall in this exam then hope my cwk and last year make it a C. Don't happen to know the weightings?

Text B mentioned politeness principle with the chocolate fiasco. Was laughing at the idea of her mum just continuing to sing twinkle twinkle little star to change the subject haha.

Only used Skinner once i think. Because Jess made an error saying a banana was red and her Mum did use negative lexis but she didn't use repetition to ensure next time, the lexical choice would be correct, she kind of just moved on.

Weightings for what? I need like 83/120 (high C) for an A. Dunno though, change was a ball ache.

Also deleted unstressed polysyllabic syllables nana! slipped that in and said they were hard to say but usually associated with early development

Change could've been a lot worse, I.e January's. I did question 4 but spent so long trying to read the ford advert - wasted such a long time to talk about graphology more than anything else. Felt like AS again talking about gender and power.

I felt January was a better exam, still got a D though, somehow.
