Spoken text analysis

Someone who is equal to me.
Branden "sappening mate"
Me "You alright mate"
Branden "Yeah not bad, you?"
Me "Yeah im sweet, do much in half term?"
Branden "Nothing mate. Went out on halloween got pissed and fell asleep hahah, you?"
Me "You hero hahaha. Not much mate spent half the week at my mates was decent."
Branden "I wanna go home"

This conversation shows that me and Branden are both equal as neither of us are in control of the conversation. The conversation is not ran by either one of us, we both have an even amount of imput in this conversation. Branden doesnt dominate the conversation, neither do I this means me and Branden are basically equal, neither of us are above the other one as neither dominates the conversation.

Someone who has more power than me.
Dad "Want a lift to school?"
Me "Nah i'll walk"
Dad "Damn right you will, im not wasting petrol on you."
Me "oi banter mate"
Dad "I will actually pick you up at lunch though"
Me "Sweet, thank you"

The power in this conversation is shown because my Dad has dominance in this conversation. The power is shown as he dominates the conversation and decides the conversation topic. He also shows his power over me by the way he torments me and tricks me leading me to believe that he would give me a lift home, however he was joking all along and never had any intention of picking me up from school.



Someone who has less power than  me.
Year 7 "excuse me"
Me "sorry mate didnt mean to get in your way"
Year 7 "thats alright"
Me "you all alright you look a bit shaken"
Year 7 "yeah im fine"

The power in this conversation is shown as I am happy to make sure that the young year 7 was all okay. Hwever he shy's away from the conversation due to un intentional intimidation which has come purely from my power of being a sixth former has caused him to shy away from the help I was trying to give to him.

12. Interview

Script for tv interviewScript for tv interviewScript for tv interview
In this interview it is a very normal, question and answer styled interview with the MTV presenter asking the actors in the movie. After every response the presenter gets she will them comment on the response, and then finish off what she is saying by asking somebody else another question. By doing this she is squeezing information out of the actors and actresses. She is finding out information that the viewers will be wanting to know.

World War 1 Poems Phonology.

  Wilfred Owen   "Anthem for a Doomed Youth"

"No mockeries for them from prayers or bells,
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,-
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires"


The rhytem of this poem is the rhytem of like a song or a speech. There is a rhyme pattern in this piece of text. 'Bells, Shells' the double ll sound relates them to eachother. The ll sound make a rhyme. Also in this piece of text it has choirs and shires in. the irs sound makes a rhyme.


Wilfred Owen   "Dulce et Decorum est"

"Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! -- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fit the clumsy helmets just in time;"


This piece of text is obviously being shouted at to a group of people either young children or a group of males. The connotations of "GAS! GAS!" are portraying to us signs of danger and trouble. He is instructing them to put there gas marks on, you know he is instructing them to do this because of the use of exclamation marks.

Noun Phrases In The Newspapers.


Its a play on words, instead of the well known saying 'things can only get better' they have decided to change the better to bitter as they believe things are going to take a turn for the worst.


As we also saw in the previous newspaper headline they changed a saying to fit the headline. They have now changed New to Flu, this is a good play on words as they let you know that the article will be about a big case of flu that is spreading throughout New York City.

They have also done a play on words in this Newspaper headline. They have changed it from being the saying 'Butter fingers' to Putter Fingers. This lets you know that the article will be about a golfing mistake. They are following the pattern so far of a play on word as the headline.
They have changed the heading from what would read 'Golden Balls' as that is David Beckhams nickname with the England fans, to 'Boules' as he secured a transfer to French Ligue1 side Paris Saint Germain. They have done this as it is a clever insight to what the article might be about despite the picture behind it.
They have also used a play on words here as they have used the term 'Gnash' for nashers as a man bit another in a game of football. They have used this term as it makes it more interesting for a reader as its not something you see everyday.
This headline takes a complete different route. Mainly because it is a completely different newspaper. However they have gone for a piece of information in the headline. This is to get the reader entrigued. It catches the readers attention with a sad story about someone who must be of young age.
The headline in this statement is short. The usage of the words 'Oh boy!' sets the headline. As it will make the reader wonder what has happened to Prince Charles. It catches the readers attention.
