Hey again :)
This semester we're lucky to have our classes in the computer room, which means we'll be able to get a tad more interactive.
Below are some links we'll be using in the class. You only need to watch the two clips below. The readings will be done either in class (depending on time) or as a follow up.
Australian slang - how language was shaped by various historical events
History of accent change - a very useful interactive timeline
More in-depth analysis of the differences between Australian, British and American - vowel quality change, word formation etc.
AUSTRALIAN SLANG DICTIONARY
