Descriptivenesses,
I found out we were timetabled in here - not sure why!
First, do the starter sheet and use a couple as examples to learn for 'borrowed' words.
Then, look back at the Sandi Toksvig article from Friday - analyse how her descritpive attitude is communicated and how it suits the GRAPE - post your analysis to the blog.
Next, find phrases in the prescriptive article that you found that communicate a prescriptive attitude to language change. How can you connect it to Aitchison's metaphors? How are prescriptive attitudes conveyed? Post this analysis to your blog (finish for homework for Friday if necessary).
On Friday, we will look at an exam question so you can see where you are going.
