Theory into Practice Synthesis

To show how language is used as a signifier of identity and class, I used poems written by those who are regarded to be of higher class and changed the language to reflect four different dialects phonetically: Geordie, Scouse, Brummie and Yorkshire. These four dialects are representative of the working class and through using poetry of the upper class it shows how the poem changes when different people read them.

Certain poems for the upper class aren’t just read by that class. Writing the poems in four different dialects represents how the people with these dialects interpret the poems and how they can be interpreted from it themselves.
