Analyze someone elses Transcript

Albion’s Transcript uses many different language features such as ommition mainly as he says “we dominate” which shortens the word and makes his speech more efficient. It makes your point more straightforward and direct while still giving the whole meaning of the speech.

Repetition is also greatly used when he says “Look at the table, look at the table.” The use of repitition proves the point and gives a more direct affect to get the point across.A filler is also used when Albion says “err” which gives him time to think about his point.

Analysing Your Own Transcript

Through my analysis i found the non standard English words to usually be omitted words. This usually occurs naturally in our speech which we are oblivious to. We usually do this to shorten words for efficiency and for faster speaking for shortening and increasing effect.

Idioms are also used to create a figurative or literal meaning. It is usually used together with imagery. Usually idioms are inside and not known unless you are part of their group or gathering. They are usually rude words or phrases that have a different meaning behind it. This is one of the many language features we use while we speak and we don’t realize it.

In addition we use short sentences to exaggerate and create tension and suspense or we use for efficiency to induce the reader or audience depending on the situation. This can be called laziness to some but to others it’s an effective language feature.
