This book offers a comprehensive linguistic analysis of
contemporary US television series. Adopting an interdisciplinary
and multimethodological approach, Monika Bednarek brings together
linguistic analysis of the Sydney Corpus of Television Dialogue
with analysis of scriptwriting manuals, interviews with Hollywood
scriptwriters, and a survey undertaken with university students
about their consumption of TV series. In so doing, she presents
five new and original empirical studies. The focus on language use
in a professional context (the television industry), on
scriptwriting pedagogy, and on learning and teaching provides an
applied linguistic lens on TV series. This is complemented by
perspectives taken from media linguistics, corpus linguistics and
sociocultural linguistics/sociolinguistics. Throughout the book,
multiple dialogue extracts are presented from a wide variety of
well-known fictional television series, including The Big Bang
Theory, Grey's Anatomy and Bones. Researchers in applied
linguistics, discourse analysis, critical discourse analysis,
corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics and media linguistics will
find the book both stimulating and unique in its approach.
