Spoken Language Study

You will have to find a transcript (which I will need a copy of) of a breakfast show on the radio and analyse it.

How do breakfast show presenters create a lively and engaging atmosphere on their radio shows?

Type of speech, speaker identity, audience, setting and topic should be taken into consideration.

Main points of analysis:

What are the speakers trying to achieve? This may be obvious or the speaker may have an underlying agenda, which is more difficult to ascertain.

What is the spoken language featured being used to achieve the purpose and why? How are they effective?

What is the effect on the audience? How will this affect the audience’s listening habits? How will this shape the listener’s perceptions of the speaker? How will audiences from different demographics (gender, age, class, race etc) be influenced? How will their views and attitudes towards this speech and speaker(s) vary?

Essay Plan:

Brief introduction to the topic: make an interesting overall point about spoken language in contrast to written language. Then try to link this to a point specifically about the breakfast show.

Establish the context of the transcript: what type of show is it? What are the target audience? Who is the radio presenter and what style do they have? How does this appeal to the target audience?

Provide a thesis statement: what will you be exploring in the essay and what main idea are you going to be arguing through the essay.

Make all your points brief. Don’t try to analyse it all!
