Controlled assessment: Sainsbury’s transcripts Jason and Joseph-by Zrafshan Rasool

In the first transcript ‘store standards’ Joseph and Jason communicate with each other on the shop floor using spontaneous speech . However Jason comes with an agenda. In the second transcript, ‘setting up the meeting’ Jason and joseph are arranging a meeting where they argue a bit about joseph having a meeting with someone else. However Jason warns him that he is to have a meeting with him and he ‘holds the floor’. In the third transcript ‘the appraisal meeting’ Jason and joseph have a meeting where Jason again ‘holds the floor’. Jason: is the manager of the largest Sainsbury’s store in the country which means he has a huge responsibility to make sure the workers have everything in place , staff are dressed neatly and provide people with their needs and wanting’s. Joseph: is a trainee who is training to be a manager in Sainsbury’s and has been working there for more than a year. He has also been supplying people with help and helps set out the food, toys, clothes and much, much more.

The first transcript ‘store standards’ begins with an adjacency pair, Jason and Joseph, greeting each other informally with the use of ‘alright’ and as I have mentioned in the introduction, they are standing on the shop floor which also adds to the informality of the situation. This continues with Joseph’s response of ‘yep, yep, yeah’ which possibly shows that he is nervous. Another place where it possibly shows that he is nervous is when he uses some jargon. Here is some evidence: ‘they’re back of the run (?)’.
As the conversation continues to move on, Jason expresses a prosodic feature by telling Joseph about the store standards ‘the standards you set are the standards you get’. By saying this he is explaining Joseph about how he has to keep the corporative image of the store standards. However joseph does not seem to be listening and Jason gets annoyed and say’s ‘you’re talking

    The piece uses concrete, pedestrian diction. It expresses a casual encounter between Lou Ann and the vendor, and is mostly conversational dialogue. This captures the folksy language of plain people in an informal environment. Kingsolver also uses strings of monosyllabic words to further emphasize informality and simplicity. The characters refer…

    Speak is written with the intent of drawing the reader in and initiating the gut feeling which we learned is created with the use of metafiction. Anderson writes the whole book in present tense and from Melinda’s point of view. The grammar she uses is casual and is written how a typical teenager would talk. The dialogue within Melinda’s head is sarcastic and vivid, starkly contrasting the introverted facade she erects to protect herself. This insight into her mind evokes sympathy for Melinda and a connection to a character that doesn’t really exist.…

    This friendly audience relationship is further created through McIntyre’s use of informal pronunciation. For example, he pronounces the second person pronoun “you” as “ya” and uses elision when the pronoun is next to the verb “know” to form “y’know”. This is shown in “They come out of the shower y’know”. In this context the term “y’know” seems to be interrogative in a rhetorical sense, as though McIntyre is asking whether or not the audience are able to relate with such a situation. Generally speaking, they will be able to as most people have visited a gym…

    The whole film is about an Amish boy and his mother, Rachel, who witness a murder and a policeman, John, who goes into hiding as protection until the trial. The scene itself is one where the community is brought together to build a barn in a day for a newlywed couple of the town. The setting is very specific because it’s focused on an Amish colony, therefore the audience has a hard time relating to a lot of things but this brings out John’s feelings much more because he doesn’t understand much about the Amish either. This particular scene had no dialogue…

    Firstly, adjacency pairs are used in the conversational transcript as a way to build the conversation. The extract ‘H: //his mother? C: yeah everyone did// on his side,’ shows this due to the fact that the hairdresser is using the adjacency pairs to continue the conversation and to keep it flowing. The purpose of this is to avoid awkwardness between the two speakers and to create a seemingly confortable atmosphere and to describe and explain the customers story. The audience in this conversational extract is entirely the two speakers. The context of this is that the two speakers are in a salon which would result in this conversation happening, as the two people attempt to have an easy conversational flow whilst the customer has their hair attended to.…

    Many aspects of spoken communication are distinct in their uses of language. This distinction is for the fact that each variety of spoken communication, in return, uses the functions of language in their own specific ways and for their own specific purposes. Language of radio announcers is but one form which illustrates this distinction and the discussion of this essay attempts to explore the use of language within this variety of spoken communication – through the evident use of lexical, syntactic and phonological features and furthermore in discourse structure. This exploration can be achieved in reference to presenter Leighton Smith’s radio interview of Prime Minister John Key, which featured May 16th on the Newstalk ZB radio channel.…
