A whole two-hour lesson for A-Level English Language. The PowerPoint introduces pupils to the following aspects of lexical change: neologism, coinage, borrowing/loan word, archaism, affixation, conversion, compound, blend, eponym, acronym, initialism, abbreviation, back-formation, reduplication and infixing. It also looks at the following aspects of semantic change: amelioration, pejoration, narrowing, broadening, weakening, metaphor, euphemism, politically correct lexis. Activities related to these aspects are included in the PowerPoint.
The word document also includes activities. The first activity provides a list of words that have recently entered the English language and pupils must write down the different lexical and/or semantic processes that they have gone through. The second activity is 'Eponym Pictionary' - instructions for this game are included in the PowerPoint.
I will be using this lesson for the new AQA English Language (7701/7702) specification and have previously used it for the AQA English Language B spec for the unit on Language Change.
