A Level English Language -Language and the individual. Prosody, Graphology and Phonology

There are three lessons which consider the importance of layout, font, semiotics, colour schemes, imagery, symbols and text positioning and what each of these aspects communicate to an audience. They take into account the importance of the sound effects recreated in English and how speakers use prosodic features to express meaning in non-verbal ways.

These three lessons subject content is to introduce students to language study, exploring textual variety. This area of study introduces students to methods of language analysis to explore concepts of audience, purpose, genre, mode and representation. Both cover the following -

subjects from various writers and speakers
audiences
purposes
genres
using a variety of modes (written, spoken, electronic).
When analysing texts, students should explore how language is:

shaped according to audience, purpose, genre and mode
shaped according to context
used to construct meanings and representations
used to enact relationships between writers, speakers and audiences or between participants within a text.
The explorations included consider :

methods of language analysis
how identity is constructed
how audiences are addressed and positioned
the functions of the texts
the structure and organisation of the texts
how representations are produced.
