Some of today's most relevant manipulations of language by governments, NGOs, and advertising are also covered by Paper 1. This Paper does not only encourage specific and insightful thinking about canonical literature, it gives students an extra sense of the language that is used around them every day.

Also, the skills you learn in it add to your study of the period papers and offer an additional perspective.

It gives students a whole new set of tools with which to study all kinds of literature, and it gives credibility to the "Literature and Language" course.

However, my language modules really inspired me, and I found them to have a crucial impact on the way I looked at the more literary courses too. The language section of the undergrad degree at Oxford needs to be strengthened, and integrated more into the overall strucutre of the degree - not abolished all together!

Paper 1 is absolutely integral to the course - an understanding of the history, variety and politics of language is important in its own right as well as to the study of literature. I found Critical Discourse Analysis in particular to revolutionise the way I think about language and how it operates in society. Paper 1 was one of my favourite modules, and the course will not be as popular or attractive to future candidates without it.
