Title: Research for English Language
Post by: C.A.T on July 13, 2015, 07:07:42 pm

I'm struggling to find relevant examples for my essay - particularly examples of Australian English that aren't articles. Has anyone found anything from late 2014 or this year? Or knows how to find good examples.

Edit: Particularly examples of written Australian language.

Hi there! You'll often find the examples of Australian English are located within the media articles (generally). See an article that I recently found here: http://www.smh.com.au/action/printArticle?id=996508410

You'll see many modern examples in the above article as well as reference to many linguistic terms (e.g. diminutives).

The best way to find examples is to go to Google News and type in keywords relevant to the topic!

I hope that helps :)
