as we did last year, Adam Mearns and I participated in the organisation of the A-level conference at Newcastle University. The programme was slightly different this year, relying on old trusted speakers as well a few new voices on literary topics. Adam and I ran two interactive sessions with both AS and A2 level students, exploring their perceptions of ongoing language change. We used the clicker software and recorded their reactions, which we will hopefully be able to use in our ongoing work with Erez Levon on the effect of linguistic salience on language change.
