Abstract:
When we watch and listen to actors speaking lines that have been written by
someone else-a common experience if we watch any television at all-the
illusion of "people talking" is strong. These characters are people like
us, but they are also different, products of a dramatic imagination, and
the talk they exchange is not quite like ours.
Television Dramatic Dialogue examines, from an applied
sociolinguistic perspective, and with reference to television, the
particular kind of "artificial" talk that we know as dialogue:
onscreen/on-mike talk delivered by characters as part of dramatic
storytelling in a range of fictional and nonfictional TV genres. As well
as trying to identify the place which this kind of language occupies in
sociolinguistic space, Richardson seeks to understand the conditions of its
production by screenwriters and the conditions of its reception by
audiences, offering two case studies, one British (Life on Mars) and one
American (House).
Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
Written In: English (eng)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
