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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eTelevision Dramatic Dialogue\u003c\/em\u003e 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kay Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195374061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195374063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Kay Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47420195504383,"sku":"9780195374063","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40777796-6566-4f40-8b02-f6e5bbd6e9e0.jpg?v=1761525874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/television-dramatic-dialogue-kay-richardson-9780195374063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
