Non-prescriptivenesses,
here's a great article that I am going to share on the main blog that I would like you to mine for quotes and ideas that explore diachronic and synchronic change to accents and dialects, with particular reference to prescriptive attitudes. Do some further research and post to your blog suitable notes for revising from so that you can include wider reading on the LC part of the paper. Look at dialect levelling and a poll of how people respond to what Dr alexander Baratta of the University of Manchester called 'accentism' - judging people on their accent in a similar way to racism judges on race.
