MLE Multicultural London English Telegraph article (Accent/dialect and Language Change topics)

Some of you (AS) may have seen this article from 2011 but it is useful as it covers terms you should since have come across about dialect levelling, ethnicity (ethnolect) and prescriptive attitudes towards language variety (e.g. schools banning non-standard variants in corridors as well as in essays). For A2, it's very useful for Language Change as it explores the kind of synchronic change (change at a moment in time - in this case, now) that our language is undergoing.
