ABSTRACT
Some types of writing have more status than others:
That’s me, and this is me playing the ‘I have an elaborated code’ syndrome. Some of it I’m playing a game – playing a game with words really now… sometimes it’s like the working class person trying to speak posh.
It’s one minute with the dinner jacket on and the next minute with the cleaning outfit. I know that that’s what’s happening, but I just think ‘Oh get on with it, Rachel, get on with it‘.
(Rachel, 1991)
