The study investigated the practice of codeswitching within the Cape Flats speech community of Cape Town. Members of this speech community have always been exposed to both English and Afrikaans in formal as well as informal contexts. Due to constant exposure to both languages, as well as historical and political experiences, members of the speech community have come to utilize both languages within a single conversation and even within a single utterance. Codeswitching is an integral part of the community's speech behaviour. The main purpose of this research was to uncover and analyze the motivations behind codeswitching in the bilingual communities of Cape Town, while also providing a strong argument that codeswitching patterns evident in their speech do not always correspond completely with linguistic constraints that are regarded as 'universal'.

This conversation analytic study aims to describe how advice is re-issued in German in an institutional setting. Schank (1979) has shown that conversation during German advice programs consists of five different phases, one of which is the advice-giving phase. For the current study, four conversations from a radio advice program were analyzed. The data show that the advice-giving phase identified by Schank is further characterized by three sub-phases: 1) issuing of initial advice, 2) negotiation of rejected advice through reformulations of the initial advice, and 3) offer to move to the closing phase, done via generalization of the previously-given advice. I focus on the delivery of the second phase, in which the advice, previously rejected by the recipient, is re-issued using a number of discourse strategies on the part of the advice giver. These strategies include a change in recipient, a shift in source of the advice, the selection or change in reference (i.e. du ‘you’ vs. ich ‘I’), a change in advised action, and a change in strength. In selecting one of these identified discourse strategies, the advice giver addresses the reason for the rejection of the advice on which the reformulation is based. Finally, in looking at the third phase, I explain the function of generalizations and their role in situating the interlocutors interactionally within the larger advice-giving phase, thus sequencing the complex action (Schank, 1981).

Phénomène apparu à la fin des années quatre-vingt avec l’animateur Rush Limbaugh, le talk-show radiophonique conservateur américain a joué un rôle important dans la vie politique du pays. Cette recherche en retrace les différentes phases de 1988 à 2010 pour lui rendre sa place dans l’histoire politique américaine des dernières. Elle défend la thèse que le talk-show radiophonique conservateur a constitué un puissant instrument de contestation et a joué un rôle historique dans la reconquête du pouvoir par les Républicains.Dans un premier temps, le contexte politique et médiatique de la résurgence du conservatisme dans les années soixante est revisité pour situer le talk-show radiophonique dans la tradition communicationnelle du mouvement conservateur et défendre l’idée que l’émergence du phénomène en tant que force politique au début des années 1990 constitue « le deuxième rendez-vous des conservateurs avec les médias alternatifs »Dans un deuxième temps, la recherche se propose d’analyser les phases et cycles du talk-show conservateur dans son âge d’or ainsi que les figures de ses éditocrates dominants. Il s’agit d’établir que le contournement des médias de référence par le talk-show s’est opéré en tandem avec l’élite républicaine au moyen d’une « relation spéciale » qui s’est nouée au cours de la campagne présidentielle de 1992 et renforcée très nettement au cours du premier mi-mandat de Bill Clinton. Afin de définir ces phases, la recherche s’appuie sur Rush Limbaugh comme figure fondatrice du genre, puis se concentre sur Hannity, Ingraham et Savage, nouveaux animateurs d’envergure nationale qui émergent au tournant du siècle. Dans un dernier temps, la forme et le contenu du talk-show radiophonique sont explorés afin de mettre en évidence les modalités de la contestation. La thèse se concentre sur l’analyse du dispositif et la rhétorique des talk-shows à proprement parler, en se focalisant sur ceux qui ont façonné le genre et sa notoriété. Elle analyse le discours des quatre animateurs de manière comparative afin de montrer que les talk-shows radiophoniques conservateurs déploient une stratégie de « contenu sur mesure »
A new media genre that appeared in the late eighties, conservative talk radio in the US has played a significant role in the country’s politics. This research explores the history of the medium from 1988 to 2010. It argues that, throughout the period, conservative talk radio has been a powerful instrument of dissent and has played a very significant role in the Republican ascendancy of the mid-1990s. First, this research revisits the political and media context of the resurgence of conservatism in the 1960s in order to situate the genre in the communication tradition of the conservative movement and entertain the argument that the emergence of conservative talk radio as a political force in the early nineties represents “conservatives’ second rendezvous with alternative media.”Second, this dissertation analyses the phases of conservative talk radio during its golden age as well as its dominant pundits. It argues that conservative talk radio shows circumvented traditional media by establishing a “special relationship” with the Republican establishment as early as Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign in 1992. In order to define such phases, this research focuses on Rush Limbaugh as the founding figure of the genre and then concentrates on Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage, the new hosts who emerged at the turn of the century. Last, the form and content of conservative talk radio programs are explored in order to show how dissent is engineered. This research then analyzes the apparatus and rhetoric of the programs, focusing on those that shaped the genre and made it famous. It explores the content of the four shows comparatively in order to demonstrate that the hosts unfurl a strategy of “tailored content.”

I den här uppsatsen undersöks interaktionen mellan tre programledare och en intervjuad forskare i ett utdrag från ett intervjusamtal i radio. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka övergripande topiker och vilka kommunikativa projekt som förekommer i samtalsutdraget. Likaså att undersöka hur de kommunikativa projekten kan relateras till den hybriditet som detta samtalsutdrag kännetecknas av, då samtale tkan kategoriseras som en hybridiserad pratshowintervju. Samtalsdelen består av drygt åtta minuter, som transkriberas och analyseras med hjälp av en topikanalys i kombination med en analys av de kommunikativa projekt som florerar i samtalsutdraget. Resultatet av analysen visar att samtalsutdraget innehåller olika kommunikativa projekt som ibland kolliderar. Programledarna vill ha svar på sina mestadels enkla och grundläggande frågor, men forskaren svarar inte alltid enkelt och grundläggande. Forskaren är där för att beskriva omständigheterna kring hundraårsjubileet av upptäckten av kosmisk strålning, i egenskap av elementarpartikelfysiker. Programledarna är beroende av att deras lyssnare tycker att innehållet är intressant och värt att lyssna på. Därför hamnar det på deras lott att så gott de kan göra programinnehållet intressant för lyssnarna. För att uppfylla det tillkommer lokala projekt, såsom att förmå den intervjuade att vara mer personlig och göra ansatser för att ge samtalet en mer vardaglig och avslappnad prägel. Till exempel genom det sätt som de ställer frågor till forskaren. Men även den journalistsiska uppgiften att popularisera vetenskapen som forskaren intervjuas om tillkommer, då det rör sig om ett radioprogram inom sektorn för Public service.

Não é raro encontrar na televisão brasileira, e mesmo na rádio, emissões que trazem depoimentos de pessoas comuns comentados por especialistas, sobretudo, psicólogos. Desentendimentos conjugais, problemas com filhos, desavenças com vizinhos, conflitos no trabalho, são alguns dos temas exibidos. Trata-se de versões cujo formato orienta também produções estadunidenses, europeias e latino-americanas, cuja temática, apropriada pela indústria cultural nacional, difunde um discurso terapêutico. Embora as ideias de manipulação dos participantes e de sensacionalismo na busca por audiência sejam justificativas para a veiculação desse tipo de emissão, existem outros sentidos que podem ser atribuídos quando se aproximam as razões que mobilizam pessoas a dar visibilidade a histórias e questões consideradas de foro íntimo. Foram esses outros sentidos aqui investigados. Uma abordagem, portanto, a partir dos participantes de No Divã do Gikovate (Rádio CBN), Casos de Família (SBT) e Márcia (Bandeirantes) norteou a pesquisa apresentada. A interação social no palco, nos bastidores e na plateia foram vias de acesso a dois grupos sociais envolvidos na produção e no consumo desses bens culturais. O estudo dessas interações apontou lógicas diferentes de produção: uma demanda espontânea, entre aqueles que integram as emissões animadas pelo Dr. Gikovate, e um sistema de produção da exibição, ou seja, uma cadeia produtiva por trás das emissões televisivas que abarca tanto profissionais formalmente contratados pelas emissoras quanto pessoas engajadas informalmente. Tais interações indicam ainda grupos que possuem universos mentais distintos, com repertórios expressivos e recursos afetivos específicos. Seus integrantes apropriam-se do discurso terapêutico difundido transformando-o em senso prático para sua vida afetiva.
Its not rare to find in Brazilian television and radio, transmissions that bring ordinary peoples testimonials commented by experts, mainly psychologists. Marital fights, problems with children, quarrels with neighbors are some of the themes presented. Those are Brazilian versions of programs which circulate around the United States reaching Latin American and European countries, which the thematic, taken by their own national culture industry, diffuses a therapeutic discourse. Although the participants ideas manipulation and the sensationalism in the quest for audience are explanations for placing this kind of transmission, there are other senses that may be attributed when one gets closer to the reasons that mobilize those people to bring out stories and affairs once considered intimate. These other senses were the ones studied here. Thus, an approach close to that of the participants of No Divã do Gikovate (Gikovates Divan, Radio CBN), Casos de Família (Family Affairs, SBT) and Márcia (Marcia, Bandeirantes) guided this research. The social interactions on stage and backstage were ways to reach these two social groups involved in the production and consumerism of these cultural products. The study of these interactions led to different logics of production: a spontaneous demand between those who compose the transmissions cheered by Dr. Gikovate, and a production system of exhibition, which means a productive chain behind the television transmissions that reach professionals formally hired by the networks and people informally involved. Those interactions have also indicated groups with different mental universes, with specific expressive repertoire and affective appeal. Their integrants employ the therapeutic discourse, transforming it into logic of practice to be used in their affective life.

This study examines talk-radio relations in advance of digitisation, testing the continuity of patterns of listener formation, to assess the accuracy of claims that 'interactivity' and individuated informational flows are demand-driven. Australian talk broadcasters are shown discursively creating a living 'thirdspace' or 'real virtuality' of transactional locations. Listener-caller participation arrays varying social orders across this imagined-yet-real terrain. Radio talk thus becomes a 'euphemised' form of social pre-dispositioning power, differentially locating power across communities. Four sets of talk-radio texts are examined in detail, using a socially contextualised form of linguistic analysis. Transcripts from 2UE's 'The Stan Zemanek Show' reveals an openly-gendered and more covertly classed discourse. The address to private rather than to public 'selves' in late-night sex-counselling talkback is examined. The study then examines programming from the community radio sector of volunteer-produced, local radio transmission. Finally, the study examines 'The prison show', a community radio music request and message programme for Aboriginal prisoners. The study concludes by suggesting that talk radio's role within cultural formation is complex in its articulations, but deeply implicated within the major cultural formational activities of contemporary consumer culture, on which are being modelled digital audio broadcasting's newly intensified flows of interactivity

This study is a comparative examination of approaches to talk radio as a genre on three Ugandan radio stations. The aim is to draw conclusions, from observations made about these stations, about the potential of talk radio to encourage public debate around social issues and improve democratic participation despite pertinent challenges in Uganda. The study first outlines a theoretical framework, which is informed by Habermas's theory of the media as a 'public sphere'. This framework is applied to an exploration of traditions of talk radio that have emerged globally in order to assess the potential of these traditions to play a role in contributing to the establishment of such a 'public sphere'. The study then goes on to discuss the historical development of radio in Uganda and the establishment of the current broadcast landscape. The focus is on the way in which this history has been defined by a struggle around public expression, in which government has repeatedly sought ways to control media as a vehicle for public expression. It is proposed that Ugandan talk radio has the potential to play an important role in ensuring broad participation in public expression. It is against this background that the study then describes and analyses the development of the talk genre at three Ugandan radio stations (each one an example of, respectively, a commercial, community and public service station). It is explained that staff on all three stations emphasise the importance of talk radio in encouraging participation, by their audiences, in the public debate of social and political issues. It is argued that, because of limitations that exist within these stations, none of the talk show teams fully realize the potential of the genre for participation in such debate. The picture that emerges is one of unequal access, with those sections of radio audiences in positions of privilege being further empowered, while those on the margins remain excluded from public discussion. The study finally recommends ways to improve public participation on Ugandan talk radio, noting the need to review government support, the problems of organizational culture within the stations, the need for more guidelines on practical arrangements around talk show production and the question of contradictions that exist at policy level.

As from 2000, the &ldquo
daytime woman talk shows&rdquo
with the contents of family tragedies, personal disasters and discussions increasingly draw audience&rsquo
s attention, particularly women&rsquo
s, became a popular TV genre with almost every private TV channel having one of its own in the year 2005 in Turkey. Defining themselves as &ldquo
reality shows&rdquo
presenting only &ldquo
reality&rdquo
and &ldquo
spontaneity&rdquo
, the basic claim of these programs is that the ordinary people are hosted to the programs, the problems in their everyday lives are deal with in an enlightening and educational manner, and solutions are brought to them with thanks of the programme. These daytime woman talk shows that led to various discussions in the country&rsquo
s agenda with some death events experienced and their controversial functions form the subject of this study. The principal purpose of the thesis is to understand which production practices and dynamics why and how play a role in the content formation and the production process of the programs and in this manner to explain the place and significance of the programs in the Turkish television industry. In the thesis, three programs are analyzed as the pioneering and confrontational shows of this genre in Turkey. The specific features and the world wide historical developments of the daytime woman talk shows are handled on, along with their fundamental elements, and also the interviews with show producers and participants, and the observations about the production processes are included in the analysis.

A vibrant media environment is fast becoming a prerequisite for democratic culture. Recent studies in radio in Africa have also paid attention to how the deregulation of the media space in the continent can be a catalyst to the growth of democratic culture. Yet, in so doing, current research pays less attention to the crucial aspect of self-fashioning which reflects power relations as well the existing relationships among individuals and different groups in society. This thesis examines the representation of the self on two ‘popular’ radio talk shows in contemporary South Africa. Using ‘The After Eight Debate’ and ‘The Redi Direko Show’ the thesis looks into the dynamics of representational politics which characterise the post-apartheid public sphere in South Africa. It deals with the way ‘imagined communities’ emerge through different kinds of discursive practices on radio talk shows and how participants react to different kinds of situations when they feature on radio. The study reveals access inequalities, performance and performative practices which translate to the silencing of various aspects of the self on radio talk shows. It concludes that the democratic credentials of radio talk shows are dwarfed by these silences which have the potential of privileging power and the power elite in contemporary South Africa.

Very few scholars have ventured into language use in media discourse, especially in African Languages. The purpose of this study was to determine the language use in media discourse in the Nḓevhetsini Programme on Phalaphala FM, to investigate linguistic elements that create challenges amongst presenters, reporters, listeners and guest speakers and also the manner in which the message is received by listeners. This study employed a qualitative approach to obtain data from Nḓevhetsini episodes. The episodes were divided into themes identified in order to compare common cases and those that differ in language use amongst presenters, reporters, compilers, listeners and guest speakers engaged on the Nḓevhetsini episodes. The study found that borrowing, code-mixing, dialectal variants use, and not interpreting the English message to listeners bring challenges in language use in media discourse. Language programmes that promote language should be implemented. Rules that guide language use are important in language preservation.
