Method

I will identify and describe features of language in the texts using methods of language analysis. In order to study textual variations and representations, I will identify and describe important features of language in the texts. 

Some of the areas I will examine are:

• phonetics, phonology and prosodies - how speech sounds and effects are articulated and analysed
• lexis and semantics - the vocabulary of English, including social and historical variation
• grammar, including morphology - the structural patterns and shapes of English at sentence, clause, phrase and word level
• pragmatics - the contextual aspects of language use
• discourse - extended stretches of communication occurring in different genres, modes and contexts.
