effects.
•
To be able to identify language
features.
•

Identifying the Effects of Language
Language analysis works in a very similar way.
However, with language, you need to pick key words and
analyse their impact!
P – The writer uses (Name the kind of word)
E – When he writes: “ (put in your quote – one or
two words) “
A - This creates the effect of... (analyse the impact
on you as a reader / the intention of the writer)

What word / words might you pick out
of this statement?
The use of the word “explosion”, creates the impression that this can not be
prevented as an explosion generally happens without someone being in control.
In addition, it creates the impression that the growth of the population will have a
negative impact, as we associate explosions with science experiments that have
not gone as planned.
P – The writer uses (Name the kind of word)
E – When he writes: “ (put in your quote – one or two words) “
A - This creates the effect of... (analyse the impact on you as a
reader / the intention of the writer)

Over to you!
Write at least
one PEA chain
for one of these!
Most of you
should be able to
write 2 chains:
one word from
each!
Statement 2
The shopping
centre was like a
disaster movie:
people
everywhere
running around
like maniacs!
Statement 3
Mrs Jones is a
tyrant
!
P – The writer uses (Name the kind of word)
E – When he writes: “ (put in your quote – one or two words)
“
A - This creates the effect of... (analyse the impact on you as
a reader / the intention of the writer)
This creates the
impression that
the
shopping centre
was disordered,
scary and chaotic.
The simile helps
the reader to
imagine that this
“disaster” could
not improve
.
This use of
exaggeration,
comparing the
shoppers to
people who are
violently insane,
makes the reader
imagine that the
shoppers were out
of control and
potentially
dangerous
.
Statement 2
The shopping
centre was like
a disaster
movie: people
everywhere
running
around like
maniacs!
Statement 3
Mrs Jones is a
tyrant
!
The use of a
statement creates
the impression that
this opinion is a fact
and that nobody
could correctly
think differently.
The use of the word,
“tyrant” creates the
impression that Mrs
Jones uses her power
unjustly and is
possibly cruel
The use of an
exclamation mark
creates the
impression that the
writer feels strongly
about this issue and is
demanding that the
reader listens.
