AQA's list of terminology for 2017 onwards

This is a link to the AQA list of possible terms to use. Many of them point to post-AS topics such as writing to..., child language acuisition, world Englishes and language change. This is for your interest, not as a (very) long list of terms to learn. It might help you think about the different ways terms are grouped by the exam board and your own understanding of terms you have already come across. I was slightly appalled to see that they have changed their definition of 'register' from formality to, well, it isn't quite clear, but what I have always understood to be register, they are now calling 'style'. So we had best use their new term.
