I’ve created a comprehensive set of notes for every topic in A Level English Language. There are 9 pages here full of theorists, linguists, facts, stats, examples, real world application and more. I used these notes only alongside practice questions & achieved an A* in 2017.

Why they work:

  • Easy to learn, concise, bullet point revision notes
  • Omitted endless details on methodology and results
  • Replaced these with meaningful comments on each study to form the basis of your argument in the exam (crucial to enter top bands!)

Summary sheet includes:

  • theories and models of change i.e. S curve, semantic reclamation, descriptivism/ prescriptivism, damp spoon/ crumbling castle/ infectious disease, substratum theory, wave model, functional theory
  • metaphors for change and language discourses
  • a table of linguists and their studies, findings, opinions (really useful to refer to)
  • detailed breakdown of debate over whether language change is a process of evolution or decay
  • texting and change
  • how new words cause change
  • politcal corrrectness and change
  • technology and language change
  • outline of answer to essay question ‘discuss how new words enter the language’

Notes for all six topics in A Level English Language
