I'm pretty sure language change comes up anyway for the evaluate question since the whole paper is language diversity and change so there will either be a diversity question and language change for the evaluate ones. I do hope that section B is language change too since it has never been on that.
That would be gr8 if it did come up for section B.
Hoping the diversity essay isn't occupation based

I am pretty sure that for the either or question the exam board can give two diversity or two language change questions. it doesn't have to be one of each (hopefully it is as that's better) but yeah

yeah same with ethnicity and power I think, how would these be worded?
for change I feel like they've kinda covered all bases at this point, they might do something more specific like evaluating the impact of X (like technology or something) on the process of language change

power and occupation often come together so they might just ask a broad question like evaluate the idea that language is a result of power (im so bad at coming up with questions..)
ethnicity would be a really bad one to discuss considering there isn't enough theorists to do a whole evaluation on. they might use it for the section B since it ties in nicely with variations? but im pretty sure accents have already come up

they have already does technology but i wouldn't be surprised if it was specifically centred around world englishes or language decay

I’m pleased with how P1 went for me. I’m not too worried for P2. Let’s hope the inserts are good.

I think for me, paper 1, the newer article was a little difficult to grasp than the older text and normally it's vice versa. CLA Q4 was really nice. I'm in the same boat too, I'm trying to revise for paper 2 for English but because of too many topics for psych paper 3, it's a struggle. Let's pray that the questions are nice for English Lang P2.
