  • The Gerry Ryan Show on 2FM and the Death of Diana, Princess of Wales a Case-Study, September 1997
    The Gerry Ryan Show on 2FM and The Death of Diana, Princess of Wales A Case-Study, September 1997 "Study submitted in part fulfillment of the requirement for the award of Master of Arts Degree in Communications & Cultural Studies” NAME: Ciara Me Carrón DATE: 6th February 1998 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the staff of Dublin City University for their understanding and support throughout my course of study, especially Stephanie MacBride. Thanks also to Clare Byrne, Majella Breen, Niall Me Gowan and The Gerry Ryan Show programme team in 2FM. I would further like to acknowledge my gratitude to my family, especially my father, Billy Me Carron for their patience whilst I completed my studies. Finally, this project is dedicated to the loving memory of my mother, Anne Me Carron, who died 11th November, 1997, RIP. SYNOPSIS In the modem world, there are a proliferation of media choices available to the discerning, (and not so discerning), audience. It is a rare moment indeed when, in the crowded television, radio and print media schedules, something approaching a united front occurs, and only one subject is debated, only one topic is talked about, everywhere. The number of times this has happened could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The death of Diana, Princess of Wales was one such media moment. For those of us who were not around for the death and funeral of John F. Kennedy, this was the first media-event we experienced, in terms of the tragic death and funeral of such a world famous person.

  • Continuity and Change in Variety Choice in Radio Advertising in Ireland (1977 to 2007): a Language Ideological Analysis
    Continuity and change in variety choice in radio advertising in Ireland (1977 to 2007): A language ideological analysis Joan O’Sullivan The thesis is submitted in part fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr. Helen Kelly-Holmes External examiners: Professor Nikolas Coupland, Cardiff University; Professor Daniel Davis, University of Michigan-Dearborn Submitted to the University of Limerick, May 2014 Abstract This research examines language ideological change in the Irish context through a longitudinal analysis of variety choice in radio advertising in Ireland from 1977 to 2007. The study extends the growing body of research on variation and change in Irish English to examine this variety as it operates within the context of the genre of radio advertising. A corpus of radio ads from the years 1977, 1987, 1997 and 2007 is analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Bakhtin’s (1981) concept of heteroglossia is applied to accent and dialect as well as genre as they relate to the ads. The analysis is based on Sussex’s (1989) ad components of Action and Comment which relate to the genre of the discourse. The corpus is analysed firstly at the inter-varietal level in relation to the range of varieties in the corpus, predominantly Irish English and Standard Southern British English (SSBE). Based on the decline of SSBE in the 1997 and 2007 sub-corpora, the second part of the analysis is at the intra-varietal level and focuses on accent sub-varieties of Irish English. The study explores the manifestation of standard and nationalist ideologies, the conversationalisation of discourse and the ideological construction of authenticity, employing a number of factors; variety choice and location in terms of ad components, the juxtaposition of prestige and vernacular varieties and sub-varieties in the ad components, indexical value of variety, and accommodation strategies including audience and referee design.
