This is a set of detailed notes I wrote myself in preparation for teaching A-level English Language. It specifically looks at Language Change. I originally used the sheet for my own benefit, but I later uploaded it to my college's Moodle so pupils could access it. The pupils have said that they've found it very useful.
The notes cover: a) reasons for language change; b) the ways language has changed. As for the ways language has changed, I've written about changes to: spelling, punctuation, grammar, orthography, phonology, capitalisation, graphology and dialect. There are also notes explaining Jean Aitchison and Dennis Freeborn and their theories on language change.
