  Interesting: To me, 'voice calls' contrasts with 'texts' as a function of mobile phone use, rather than video calls.

The Guardian has been running some really useful material for ENGA2 recently
- Ant Heald on 21 Oct 12
  
  Also useful, of course for ENGB1 (gender), ENGB2 & ENGB4 (style models for original writing & media text - where language is a focus - and possible data/ideas for inverstigation), and ENGB3 - changing language use in representation of gender.
