I did Rothery too, but none of the other stuff, I would have done some Barclay/orthography stuff but I was trying to keep my essay under an hour. xD

This exam was really mixed :/
Found CLA really good but then really struggled on the language change section.
what did people put for the advert question?

did many people do the letter question for language change? i thought it looked easier than the other one, not quite so sure how i did though
i thought the CLA question was really nice! done better on that one, hopefully got an A overall but wouldn't like to say

Liked this exam - hope it went okay!
Q1 - I wrote about turn taking, Bellugi's Negative Stages, CDs and motherease, Dore and Halliday, context of why language was less with picture cards and lexical fields (hypernymy and hyponymy) - required labelling etc
Theorists - Piaget, Bruner, Skinner and Vygotsky
(I always find it hard to recall what I wrote in this part - thats the adrenalin haha)
Q3 - I wrote about the context of prestandardisation (just) standard had not fully been attached to language. The orthographical mistakes and a lack of uniform point of reference (dictionary in 20th century) borrowings from Latin and French - from the 1066 norman invasion and reflected the high formality register of the texts. Also about the narrowing of the word 'wife' how it used to be any woman, then narrowed to mean just married women. Also wrote about capitalisation inconsistency, lack of punctuation (reflection of spoken speech) and archaic inflections and contractions of words. Also about language and gender - the aysemmtry between male adress 'sir' and female 'mistress'.
Some other things too, but again the adrenalin got to me haha

Mine was soo similar to this! What UMS mark are you expecting?

english twins haha! I really want about 100ums to 105 to be honest, you?

We are on the same wave-length haha! I need 104 for an overall A, so fingers crossed we both get what we are hoping for

OMG thats good then, same style answers, same style needs - hope this is a good thing! Fingers crossed definitely! Inbox me and let me know what you got on the day are you applying for uni? if so where?
