Your independent study task for this week is:

Find other examples of the conscious use of adjectives and adverbs for effect in travel brochures or travel writing. Explore why and how the text producer has used these lexical choices for a particular effect. Share and discuss.

Also, remember to revise linguistic methods for assessment! ;)

Hi you!
Brilliant blogs so far, thanks!
Remember to post on your own blog though...so find your name, you might need to click on 'view more blogs'. Click on 'view blog' and then on 'new post'. If you click on 'design' you can personalise your background and lay-out. Have fun! :)

Why study language?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1v6LOY1vxI

Language has no independent existence apart from the people who use it. It is not an end in itself; it is a means to an end of understanding who you are and what society is like.
