Gordon Ramsay, a well-known chef for many reasons. The nation either love him or loathe him. Gordon Ramsay is a very famous chef he is known for his foods to be made to perfection. He has helped and opened many restaurants in the UK and the USA. When Ramsay isn’t cooking he is well known for his foul mouth on TV shows. Many years ago chefs were stereotypical people e.g. Delia Smith she is a kind, caring, hard-working housewife. This is the same with Nigella Lawson she is known as the “kitchen goddess,” these features are not the same with Gordon Ramsay he is the complete opposite. Although Ramsay is a highly qualified chef the way he speaks is as though he is un-educated. The public think he is real and not artificial but, is he really?
In the transcript Ramsay uses many features of language, for example, imperatives, declarative sentences, threatening language and many more. In this particular transcript in the first paragraph Ramsay states: “this place is a filthy mess (2).” He uses his experience to criticize Abby (the trainee chef). He makes the audience seem as though he is always right. He then says “this is you with 30 years in the business” he tries to put Abby down and make her feel ashamed and intimidated. I think this makes Abby feel small because she has been in the business 30 years she feels as though she is a good chef.
Ramsay uses threatening language to get his staff to obey his commands. Ramsay says: “don’t you dare” and “listen to me” this shows Ramsay has power and authority over his staff/ Abby. He makes Abby feel inadequate and makes her realise that he is the boss and they should do things on his terms. Gordon treats Abby like an under-chef just because he has high qualifications and she hasn’t.
Swearing is a big part of Ramsay’s idiolect as he is known for swearing on his TV shows a lot. He say to Abby she is a “fucking cunt.” Gordon swears to show he is angry. He also swears because he knows that this gets the attention of the audience,

    Jamie Oliver’s Estuary accent and his accompanying use of London slang are also distinctive features of his talk. A Word such as ‘bash’ is a colloquial and is not a word we expect to hear on a cooking programme. We are used to words from the cooking semantic field such as ‘whisk’, ‘bake’, ‘stir’ but Oliver’s language use again makes him seem very normal, approachable and relaxed. As well as specifically…

    Jamie Oliver’s style of speech is very different to many of his contemporaries: he uses his distinctive style to present himself as a down to earth, friendly TV chef. Oliver is the only person talking in his transcripts because he is cooking and explaining his actions for the TV show. The fact that he is cooking while talking means that there are numerous pauses and fillers in the transcript, for example “you wanna coat the bottom ... of the pan.” The pause indicates that he is demonstrating this action on the programme; it is important in his role as a TV chef that he doesn’t just sit and talk through a recipe because viewers want to see the recipes being made and they also want to be entertained and kept interested by Oliver moving around in the kitchen. Other pauses suggest that, although this programme is scripted to a small degree, Oliver is not reading from a script but retains an element of spontaneity to his speech. The fillers at the start of the transcript, I got a pan, er the right size pan about, sort of seven inches, are indicators of this spontaneity, as is the non-fluent er. Although sometimes a sign of nervousness, in this case I think the fillers which act like pauses help Oliver to appear normal, like his viewers, so they are more likely to attempt his recipes and, of course, buy his books. However constant fillers may disrupt the fluency of the show and may act as a degrading point towards the audience. Comparing this to Nigella Lawson, a much Elder audience may find her style of presenting much more useful and understanding as she…

    Oliver has a very relaxed and informal approach to communicate with his audience that features the use of colloquial language, which makes his show more inviting and makes the audience think of him as a friend rather than a TV cook which builds trust- and viewers. There is a strong display of sociolect in his show ‘Jamie Cooks Summer’ as he uses colloquial words and phrases like ‘coupla’’, ‘chop ‘em up’ and ‘seal it wi’ cling film’ which is a mimic of the kind of language the average middle class or working class British person would use in everyday life. This adaptation of his lexis is called the ‘accommodation theory’ and is used to gain acceptance of an audience, hence it is a good technique to gain viewers and make money- which is one of the purposes of a cooking show.…

    Mrs. Ramsay emerges from the novel’s opening pages not only as a woman of great kindness and tolerance but also as a protector. Indeed, her primary goal is to preserve her youngest son James’s sense of hope and wonder surrounding the lighthouse. Though she realizes (as James himself does) that Mr. Ramsay is correct in declaring that foul weather will ruin the next day’s voyage, she persists in assuring James that the trip is a possibility. She does so not to raise expectations that will inevitably be dashed, but rather because she realizes that the beauties and pleasures of this world are ephemeral and should be preserved, protected, and cultivated as much as possible. So deep is this commitment that she behaves similarly to each of her guests, even those who do not deserve or appreciate her kindness. Before heading into town, for example, she insists on asking Augustus Carmichael, whom she senses does not like her, if she can bring him anything to make his stay more comfortable. Similarly, she tolerates the insufferable behavior of Charles Tansley, whose bitter attitude and awkward manners threaten to undo the delicate work she has done toward making a pleasant and inviting home.…

    When Jamie tried to make a home cooked meal he felt a lot of resistance from the cooks because they knew his food was coming in fresh and/or raw which meant longer prep times to make all the food. The ladies were so used to the ways of getting everything done quickly because they did not have a choice to make changes. They have to follow the written rules given to them by the upper authorities. When Jamie suggests change, they all say that he should not attack them for it but that he should talk to the people above them. Their jobs were just to be cooks, to follow the standard format and make sure every child is served food for that day. They have a clear-cut division of labor,…
