English Language taster session

How free are we to vary the grammar that we use?

Spaces available: 250
Age group: Year 12, A Level
Can people choose how to speak? Does being working class mean you can’t help but use nonstandard grammar, or are we free to use language to develop styles and identities which transcend our place in the social hierarchy?
In this taster lecture, we'll think about the extent to which our social class determines the language we use and consider what other factors might affect how we speak.
