Language and gender and opinion articles - Deborah Cameron's blog

This blog is a great source of gender comment and for AS is very useful in terms of reading good writing about language issues in preparation for paper 2's directed writing task (write an opinion piece in a stated form e.g. blog, broadsheet article, magazine for an audience you choose about one of the key topics which you get given: it might be gender, occupation or accent/dialect).

The current article is about women's voices and wouldn't have quite enough content to get you great marks in AO2 but does inform and engage the reader in a sophisticated way.
