Broken homes damage brains of infant children, this article bringing many opinions towards my conclusion and analysis. I used my understanding of the larger scale linguistic concepts and the language levels in order to analyse the article.
First of all PURPOSE - the purpose of this article being that stereotypically, people and families who live on the poorer scale will 'always' have problems with their children's learning development due to family abuse and neglect.
TONE - I noticed that their was bias language used in an argument form with high register and no colloquialism.
MODE - Written form as it is typed in an article form.
AUDIENCE - Adults with children, teachers and the education committee.
GENRE - Serious, factual and personal opinion consisting of opinions from Katherine Rake and Duncan Smith.
CONTEXT - Reasons why people from a less affluent background with families of young children are more likely to be surrounded by drugs, abuse and learning difficulties causing money problems for the government as more children have the brain of a 1 year old in a 4 year olds body.
Key features from this article that I have found is repetitive language, graphology with capital letters and bold headlines with meets the codes and conventions of an article.
