Slide 1
Individual Groups and Identities Unit 4 Outcome 2
Slide 2
Identity We will continue to focus on identity. Specifically:
How language works to reflect and construct both individuals and
group identities through subconscious and conscious language
variation. Age, gender, sexual orientation, occupation, interests,
aspirations and education. We also look at online identities. So
rather than just ethnicity and culture we look at individual
factors that play just as an important role on how we use language.
We will learn to understand that a group or individuals linguistic
features are essentially a trademark. Just as your linguistic
variations TEENSPEAK indicate your age, likes and dislikes!
Slide 3
Terms to know: Sociolinguistics: The study of the relationship
between language and society. Dialect: a variety of a language that
is distinguished from other varieties of the same language by
features of phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, and by its use by a
group of speakers who are set off from others geographically or
socially. Sociolect: a variety of a language used by a particular
social group; a social dialect. Speech Repertoire: A range of
linguistic varieties that speakers have available to them and that
they draw on to perform social roles.
Slide 4
Key terms to know Sociolect continuum: a chain of sociolects in
which develop over time variant on age, socio economic status,
region, education. The age gap between yourself and your parents
and then your grandfather/mother may impact on each others ability
to understand certain terms or expressions. E.g. courting >
going around> dating > hooking up A dialect continuum is a
chain of dialects, let us say dialects 1 10, with the following
property: Speakers of dialect 1 understand dialect 2 extremely
well. Speakers of dialect 1 and dialect 3 understand each other
rather less well, and speakers of dialect 1 and dialect 4 less well
again. There comes to a point, however, say at dialect 5, where
dialect 1 is no longer intelligible to the local people and vice
versa.
Slide 5
SAC outcomes YES you will continue to write essays for this
unit as you will need to get used to this for the exam. Each SAC is
worth 25 marks. We will be watch another video that will require
you to respond in essay format. The final SAC will use a
culmination of quotes from linguists and an article (you will get
before the SAC). Using your knowledge of this outcome and identity
you will respond in.wait for itan essay! We should finish this unit
by the end of term and that leaves 4 weeks for exam preparation. In
that time: You will complete 1 exam a week that will help you to
scaffold your responses appropriately. YOU SHOULD: create an
ENGLISH LANGUAGE FOLDER that recaps everything we have learnt for
your study purposes.
