Linking to frameworks
Explicitly connecting linguistic or literary analysis to theoretical frameworks and models studied in the course.
Real World
A student analysing a political speech by Greta Thunberg connects her use of inclusive pronouns to Goffman's face theory, showing how 'we' builds solidarity and reduces threat to the audience's positive face.
Exam Focus
Name the framework, apply it to a specific textual moment, and explain its analytical value — don't just label.
