Introduction
In my investigation I have chosen to compare whether there is any difference in radio shows whether the presenter is either male or female. My inspiration behind my study is my interest in the national radio station, radio 1. Being an keen listener I like to give my opinion on certain subjects and during a broadcast my idea for my case study arose when they were having a debate about which presenter was better than the other. This rose to my attention which gender had a bigger impact, if any to the radio show.
In my investigation I aim to use charts and graphs to analyze my data and produce an evaluation on the piece of spoken data I transcribed. I look to break down my analysis into three sections: discourse, lexis and grammar. I will use these frameworks and their meanings to construct logical answers to my title.
I will split my data clearly into sub-titles. I aim to combine my formal and academic style with relevant ideas which support my data, making a critical analysis if appropriate. I hope to conclude my work by being open minded and discussing how accurate my hypothesis was in accordance to the data that I have collected.
Data Description
I collected my data through Radio 1’s BBC iplayer. I transcribed a piece of spoken discourse from the beginning of two popular radio 1 shows Fearne Cotton and Greg James. My transcript in length is 3 pages however in spoken time it adds up to about 13 minutes. The programme is a live show, it does have a structure however most of the speech is spontaneous. Each transcript does have additional guests and includes micro-pauses, emphasis and overlapping speech.
Aims
In my investigation I hoped to find out whether gender is a factor whilst hosting a radio show. I was looking to come
