Features of Aussie English in Action!

*** FEATURES OF AUSSIE ENGLISH - IN ACTION - READ NOW! ***

Hi everyone!

In today's article, I want to look at an example of Australian English in action and how you can identify features within this text. How will this help you in your upcoming SACs in term 3? Well, if you know WHY Australian English is the way it is, then you can easily identify features and interlink them to cultural values :) Great for essays!

YOU CAN READ THE ARTICLE HERE: http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/arts/losing-lingo/2009/04/30/1240982342359.html

To give you some hints, I would recommend taking a look at a few different noticeable features:

- Diminutives (morphology)
- Lexemes of indigenous origins
- Inference (coherence)
- Australian colloquialisms
- Vowel length – phonemic

FINALLY, if you really want an amazing and detailed introduction to Unit 4 AOS 1, then I will be running a workshop for all EL students on Saturday July 8th in the Melbourne CBD. I am super excited! See signature below!

See you then!
