Acceptability of Variance of Regional Speech Features in TV Shows Masaryk University Faculty of Education Department of English Language and Literature Acceptability of variance of regional speech features in TV shows Bachelor Thesis Brno 2019 Supervisor: Author: Mgr. Irena Headlandová Kalischová, Ph.D Michaela Čechová Abstract In Britain, accents and dialects have been associated also with the social class. However, it has been argued that today's society adopts a more egalitarian view, and as a result, promotes regional accents as a way to preserve one's identity. The thesis Acceptability of variance of regional speech features in TV shows investigates the development of regional speech in media in the course of 25 years. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part provides definition of the terms connected to the topic, as well as the more detailed presentation of geographic variations of English language in Britain. The practical part presents the findings based on the phonetic analyses of TV cookery shows featuring Fanny Cradock and Jamie Oliver, first broadcast on the BBC channel in the years 1975 and 2001, respectively. Key Words accent, dialect, variation, Standard English, regional variation, Received Pronunciation, Cockney, Estuary English, TV cookery show, phonetic analysis Abstrakt Prízvuky a nářečí v Británii jsou spojovány také se společenským postavením. Ačkoliv existují názory, že dnešní společnost zaujímá spíše egalitární pohled a následně prosazuje regionální prízvuk j ako způsob zachování identity jedince. Bakalářská práce Acceptability of variance of regional speech features in TV shows zkoumá vývoj regionálních prvků mluvy během časového rozmezí 25 let. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí. Teoretická část poskytuje definice termínů spojené s tímto tématem, společně s detailnější prezentací regionálních variant anglického jazyka v Británii. Praktická část prezentuje výsledky založené na fonetických analýzách kuchařských show v podání Fanny Cradock a Jamieho Olivera, poprvé vysílány na BBC kanálu v letech 1975 a 2001, v tomto pořadí. Klíčová slova přízvuk, nářečí, variace, Standardní angličtina, regionální variace, televizní kuchařská show, fonetická analýza Acknowledgement I would like to thank my supervisor, Mgr. Irena Headlandova Kalischova, Ph.D., for her comments on my work and her valuable advice throughout the writing process.

In Britain, the peculiarity is that the attention gets attracted by the sound of the individuals, i.e. their accents, rather than their physical appearance. Such attitude manifests the important role of the accents embedded in the culture. Interestingly, an accent is promoted to become a powerful means in conveying the information about its user. Nowadays, being judgemental towards others on the basis of their accent is regarded as incon• siderate. However, such stance was not always taken in the preceding century; the attitude went through the process of evolvement reflecting social, political and economic events. Historically, in Britain strict rules were governing accents and dialects. In the professional world, only Standard English was regarded as acceptable for many job positions, certainly if it involved public communication. To speak any other way it would be stigmatised and profes• sional career would be out of reach for those non-standard speakers. The amount of influence media industry has on public is vast. The national television com• pany, the BBC, have been regarded as a trend setter and broadcaster of the cultural values since the birth of its existence. The regulatory controls the BBC had in place ensured that their presenters were all appearing flawless to the public, whether deliberately or not, the BBC were transmitting a signal of superiority. Perhaps, the pressure derived from the social events in the 1970's in Britain, where the social movements expressing dissatisfaction with the poverty, housing situation and racial inequality were common, together with the reduction of the barriers to migration, gave rise to the begin• nings of the relaxed attitudes towards regional accents in general. What the accents mean to people today is quite an opposing story. The younger generation seems to use the non-standard form of English intentionally, possibly, for number of reasons: to disguise or confuse the audience about their regional and/or social background, to demon• strate open-minded social attitude in today's multicultural world, or simply sound trendy and just fit in. 8 This thesis starts with the basic terminology: dialect, accent and Standard English, and then it continues with the more general overview of the varieties of the language. More specifically are discussed the social aspects of the dialects and accents leading us onto regional character• istics of speech. For the purpose of the analyses in the practical part, the theoretical part is then narrowed to the region of the south-east, namely London, and the attention is primarily centred on the pronunciation. The position of Received Pronunciation, as the standard accent of English, and other urban accents such as Cockney and Estuary English are presented. The practical part engages with the hypothesis: The regionality of speech featuring in TV pro• grams is now more acceptable than it was in the last century. The creation of hypothesis was inspired by the development of the attitude discussed above. High viewership of the cooking programs prompted for the choice of two cookery shows featuring Fanny Cradock and Jamie Oliver. In the light of findings drawn from the pronunciation analyses conducted in practical part this thesis seeks to confirm the premise. 9 2 The theoretical part 2.1 The terms explained This chapter defines the terms such as accent, dialect, and Standard English. Furthermore, it attempts to equip the reader with sufficient background information starting with the language variety in general, and then moving onto more specific language variety's classification. Al• though, some of the information presented is likely to be valid for all the English speaking countries, the aim is to keep the focus on Britain with the least dilution. Uniqueness of English language diversity in England is not likely to be mirrored anywhere else in the English-speaking world. Despite there being many variations, Greenbaum and Quirk (1990) present us with the unifying statement: "A common core is present in all the varieties so that, however exoteric a variety may be, it has running through it a set of gram• matical and other characteristics that are present in all the others. It is this fact that justifies the application of the name English' to all the varieties "(P-8). Before introducing language variations in more detail, it is inevitable to clarify two terms that are sometimes used interchangeably, and could therefore cause confusion. Following defini• tions are offered for the consideration of the key terms: a dialect and an accent. One possible way of regarding a dialect is that it is a substandard, low status, rustic form of language generally associated with the working class. It is perceived as some kind of devia• tion from a norm - from a standard form of language (Chambers and Trudgill, 1980). Wells (1982) believes that the term dialect is used in the vague way by the linguists; it is linked to any speech variety, which is more than idiolect1 but less than a language. On this basis, it can be concluded that languages consist of dialects. To avoid the confusion he prefers to use the term variety instead of dialect. Such varieties are distinguishable from one another based on any or all of syntax, morphology, lexicon and pronunciation (Wells, 1982). Deeper into the history of languages look Greenbaum and Quirk ( 1990), who portray the idea that in the times when the population was largely dispersed, communities remote and 1 A person's specific way of speaking 10 communication between them poor, the dialects became so distinct that, as a result they are now regarded as different languages.

  • A Taste of Higher Education: Exploring a Culinary Arts Degree Through Arts-Based Approaches
    Val Thompson A taste of higher education: exploring a culinary arts degree through arts-based approaches. Thesis submitted in requirement for the degree of PhD The School of Education The University of Sheffield September 2009 Abstract Information about how students experience their first year in higher education is of particular importance to policy makers, institutional managers, and tutors seeking to implement the governmental agenda of widening participation. Experience however, is a complex notion. Bruner (1986) argues that it is impossible to completely know another’s experience. Moreover, he maintains that the articulation of experience is consciously, or unconsciously censored or repressed, and is dependent upon an individual’s access to narrative resources and adequate vocabulary. Re-presenting the articulated experiences of others adds a further layer to this complexity. In this study I take a bricoleur’s perspective to research, utilising a range of arts- based approaches and forms to attempt to meet the challenge of re-presenting the experiences of first year Culinary Arts Management students, focussing on the influences that have shaped their choice of vocational degree course, and the ways in which they negotiate their move into HE level study. Employing a range of approaches which are multi-sensory as well as arts-based, acknowledges and reflects the complexity of life lived and experience shaped by our sensory capacity, and the learning which we accomplish through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. What our senses also enable us to connect to, feel, and express, is emotion, imagination, and memory. Taking a multi-sensory approach to explore research questions therefore, exploits ways of understanding and meaning-making which we utilise in everyday life.

Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927. Although he kept trying to break into the theater and movies, by 1935 he needed to supplement what was a very non-lucra- Biography tive career and began a catering business.

  • The Historical Collections of the Guildhall Library Transcript
    The Historical Collections of the Guildhall Library Transcript Date: Wednesday, 24 October 2012 - 1:00PM Location: Museum of London 24 October 2012 The Historical Collections Of the Guildhall Library Dr Peter Ross It is the intention of this lecture to narrate something of the history of Guildhall Library and its collections with specific reference to one area in particular – the material relating to cookery, food and drink. In the past, this collection might not have been regarded as worthy of serious attention or description; with the possible exception of material relating to individual food writers, like that of Elizabeth David. But very recent research by my colleague, Val Hart, has begun to throw some light upon the cookery texts donated by a number of individuals in the latter part of the nineteenth century, donations which really form the foundation of this extraordinary collection. Indeed, perhaps the most extraordinary fact about this collection is that the great majority of the books, now numbering more than 10,000, have been acquired through donation and bequest and that only about 10% or less have been purchased. As I hope to demonstrate in this lecture, such a collection is strictly outside the original acquisitions policy of what is essentially a library of London history. But I hope too that I can go some way towards showing that what has been until relatively recently, a ‘Cinderella’ collection deserves its place on the shelves alongside other important collections such as those of the London livery companies, the Sir Thomas More and Charles Lamb collections and, indeed, the Gresham Music collection.

  • Disturbing Objects
    Disturbing Objects Disturbing Objects : Making, Eating and Watching Food in Popular Culture and Performance Practice. Jenny Lawson (University of Leeds) I like baking cakes. I have been baking cakes for a long time. I try to take a cake with me wherever I go. My cakes have travelled to Lancaster, Manchester, Bracknell, Leeds, Sheffield, Surrey, Norwich, Gothenburg and Ulverston. I am going to bake you a cake and I am going to give it to you in a moment. A Journey through Food I love food; making it, eating it and now I also love watching it. My performance practice investigates food in contemporary culture, and this article is an attempt to journey through food, cooking objects and my practice, both contextualising and creatively documenting my engagements with cakes, kitchens and the dinner table. In this paper, my documentary elements are – as above – in italics. Cooking materials and foodstuffs play an essential role in everyday food practices and contribute to the formation of identities, relationships and socially and culturally accepted behaviour. My interest lies with the relationship between women and food. If we look at the influences of popular culture in the current climate, for instance the rise in food and lifestyle television programming and celebrity cooks (of which there are considerably more male than female), these popular food performances can be seen as indicative of contemporary attitudes governing food and female domestic practice. I am proposing that there is a space for performance practice to address the ramifications of popular cultural food performances to explore our relationship with food and its materiality in contemporary culture.

Contact: [email protected] Cooking class: The rise of the “foodie” and the role of mass media Introduction In the U.S. there are two cable TV networks dedicated wholly to food and cooking. In 2012, the Food Network had a nightly average of 1.1 million viewers.1 Small kitchen appliance expenditures continue to increase, 2 and despite the demise of the venerable Gourmet Magazine in 2009, there are hundreds of print magazines and countless blogs to refer to when looking for recipes or food writing. These and many other indicators seem to incontrovertibly charge Americans with being a nation consumed, as it were, with food. But what does this evidence tell us? Is interest in food a modern day phenomenon? Does all of this consumption around the subject mean that we are cooking more than ever before? While there is a plethora of popular media on the topic of food, here we can observe the topic – especially the phenomenon of food television – from a more critical vantage point and ask some basic but perhaps ultimately complex questions in order to illuminate the role of “mediated” food in our modern lives.
