ok so hopefully by tonight I will have a few more to add to this, but I think once we have all posted we will have enough results to analyse...
1. MIC is approachable
3/4/4/4
2. GS is attractive
3/3/2/2
3. Accents good rep of social class
4/3/3/2
4. words typical of BBC English
granted /dance
talk/ captain / watertight/ granted/ dance
talk/watertight/awkward/dance
granted/dance
5. How the accents in the clip contribute to your ideas about social class
-Stereotypically Newcastle represents a lower class and Chelsea a higher class, watching the clips you stick with those assumptions
-The Newcastle accent is much harder to understand and the MIC is one that you hear much more on television eg. news
-GS makes it seem like people from Newcastle are from a lower class than those is MIC though this isn't necessarily true
-Stereotypes make you think that those from Newcastle are of a lower class and those from Chelsea a higher class. Respondent tries not to follow this but watching GS does make you think they are less intelligent and of a lower social rank. Also finds ths MIC not that attractive as it comes across as 'stuck up'
This is fascinating. It will be a challenge to condense all you've done into your 15 min presentation, but you have lots of material here to follow up in your individual projects if you decide to stick with this topic. Good luck with finalising your project for next week.
