  • Torchwood Novel Penned by Star John Barrowman and Sister Carole E
    Torchwood novel penned by star John Barrowman and sister Carole E. Barrowman publishes September 24, 2013 Torchwood: Exodus Code An epic thriller that finds Captain Jack and Gwen in a race to save humanity itself... North American release September 24, 2013. Paperback ISBN 9781846079085. $12.99. Distributed by Random House Publishing Services. eBook ISBN 9781409071457. Torchwood: Exodus Code is the 19th Torchwood novel from BBC Books, and the first to be written by the show’s star John Barrowman, alongside sister Carole E. Barrowman. Russell T Davies’ Doctor Who spin off Torchwood, starring John Barrowman, aired between 2006 and 2011 on BBC America and the Starz network. Torchwood featured Captain Jack Harkness, a time traveler and former con man from the 51st century, who had appeared in Doctor Who alongside the Ninth and Tenth Doctors (as played by Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant). Torchwood revolved around a branch of the fictional Torchwood Institute based in Cardiff, Wales, dedicated to defending the human race against alien threats. While the television show is on indefinite hiatus, Torchwood has a trans-media presence with a number of comics, audio plays, and novel tie-ins to continue the story for fans. When the book was first announced in the UK, Senior Editorial Director at BBC Books, Albert DePetrillo, said, ‘I think the secret of Torchwood’s success is that, amid the big, bold plots, it has always been a character-driven drama – and few people know these characters as well as John Barrowman. We’re thrilled that he and Carole were able to continue the story of the Torchwood universe with this novel.’ Synopsis It starts with a series of unexplained events.

  • Linguostylistic Peculiarities of Footnotes Functioning in John Barrowman’S Autodocumentary Prose
    УДК 82.0:811.111’82-93Барроумен Olena Shon (Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk national pedagogical University) LINGUOSTYLISTIC PECULIARITIES OF FOOTNOTES FUNCTIONING IN JOHN BARROWMAN’S AUTODOCUMENTARY PROSE The article focuses attention on linguostylistic peculiarities of footnotes functioning in the autodocumentary prose. Basic types and functions of footnotes in the text are characterized on the basis of the autobiographical novels by J. Barrowman «Anything Goes» and «I Am What I Am». Peculiar attention is focused on the analysis of footnotes that function as the author’s parenthetic comments. Their groups in the text are singled out according to their functions, patterns of creating humour and irony as the result of their correlation with the main text are characterized. As a result of research the conclusion is made that this type of footnotes, correlating with the main text, helps to create author’s subjective-evaluative modality. Keywords: autodocumentary prose, framing components, footnote, parenthesis, subjective-evaluative modality. Олена Шонь.
