In our last meeting, we assigned each group member specific areas of analysis to focus on when looking at the love letters. The topic that I (Olivia) was assigned was Phonology, which I assumed would involve good analysis of alliteration and certain sounds used to create effect (e.g. fricatives, plosives, voiced/unvoiced consonants). However after annotating the five letters, I found very limited content that could be applied to a study of phonology, especially when comparing and contrasting the time periods of the different texts.
The next step I took was to inform my group that I was having problems, and although we were unable to arrange an emergency meeting I was reassured that support would always be available by contacting each other, and Meg suggested that I take a sub-category of Lexis, as she was finding her topic covered many areas. I have decided to read over all of the letters again thoroughly, and see if any topics that have not been covered by my other group members show up any interesting patterns and/or contrasts.
