| Sharing a few ideas before our next meeting via our Facebook thread. I was in the library looking for a book for Language Acquisition when the two books (the one above and the one below) caught my eye. I'd never really thought about how much of a relationship there is between language and sexuality - so I put the idea forward to the girls. Whether it comes to anything, we don't know yet. I got the books out though, just in case they do prove to be really interesting! |

| The best way to get a quick response is to send each other texts, as there is a high chance we will have our phones on us most of the time. I think this has been a really useful way of communicating with one another so far during RSEL. |
Quite a change of tack - but still with the gender dimension. Interesting! Quite a lot has been written recently about language and sexuality - and well done for finding the books. There are also several articles you might find useful, if you do decide to do this topic, though of course you'll need to think carefully about what your actual research question could be. With due regard for ethics, think about the LGBT group on campus as a potential source of data, and the journal 'Language and Gender', available through the e-library, will be good for seeing what's been researched in this area. Very good use of mixed technology here - and thanks for making use of the 'recognised' medium of the blog to keep other module students and staff in the loop.
