I ended up saying it might be due to the fact that Johnsons dictionary only came out 20/30 years prior. So standardised spelling hadn't fully taken off yet.

I didn't mention about s j dictionary for that text but instead for the other one: I talked about technological advances affecting the register of the text as it had abbreviations etc also mention the change in attitude with regards to the youth: Internet, social networking sites as the text had logos of Twitter, Fb etc

****, I didn't talk about youth as such. But I called the icons hypercharged typographics and said that they basically showed a move towards sharing things

Exactly, I feel like most exams are just test your memory and how fast you can write :frown:

I've firmed queen mary (AAB) They haven't specified grade or subject, but I'm dreading having english as my lowest grade - it would shatter my confidence hugely, especially because I'm still not 100% convinced I want to go to uni. You?

Manchester AAB, I could still possibly get an A in English if I get an A in all my other units but i feel the same as you my confidence would go down a lot if my lowest grade was in the subject I am best at, especially because I've been getting As all year. It's also annoying because we can't resit papers this year.

I wrote the parents use negative reinforcement, for example the mum laughs when Leah says something wrong and then doesn't correct her. I also wrote that when the father repeats what the children say could be reinforcement and acts as reinforcement for what tHey are saying. Other than that I couldn't see any positive reinforcement.(I don't even tHonk the points I made were relevant) Oh I aslo talked about imitation of the word brown. She said it wrong then her father corrects her and she imitates the correction.

Omg you're going to the same uni as me and need the exact same grades. It's annoying we can't resit this paper but you sound like you've done great anyway!

I made such a stupid mistake in yesterday's exam. I said 'Shakespeare' and artist/paint (can't rmemebr which) were loan words and linked them to substratum theory. Clearly they are not loan words but I panicked haha. Will I be marked down for this?

I don't think so, if it's incorrect you probably won't get a mark but maybe you will still get the marks for mentioning the substratum theory?

I've heard some say you can't resit and some say you can. I'm really confused tbh. If there is the possibility to resit I definitely will because I've worked really hard for this exam, but just messed up bc I stressed out :frown:

Yeah u will as long as you applied it relevantly. I mentioned Bruner but focused on child directed speech.
Piaget- I talked about pre operational stage, abstract concepts

Kinda but I don't think language wise more behavioural wise ... when he said "naughty girl Mia" or something like that after she threw the spoon.

has anyone got any context on the bloody chamber that isn't about the sexual revolution? i feel like it's really hard to link in context for tbc sometimes when all i'm talking about is feminism/sexual freedom

oops i posted in the wrong thread, sorry!!

I talked about how Leah/Mia forgot to include copula verbs but think i should have put auxiliary verbs - would I be marked down for this?
