Reliability- To make my data reliable, I am going to
use the most recent series of Towie, to find conversations between Danni and James.
I will be testing Robin Lakoff’s theory, the Deficit Model, about whether women’s
language is deficient in reference to men’s language. Series 18 is the most
recent series. I will start from episode 1 and I will find 5 conversations
meaning it may go to other episodes as well (2,3) . I am starting from the most
recent series as Danni and James have been on the show for a while meaning
their speech may be more natural as they are on TV and they may be used to
having cameras around them. However, I also understand that it may be slightly
scripted to entertain the audience. I will still use the data if other people
are present during the conversation. I am choosing the first 5 conversations
they have because I will have more data to analyse, they may have an off
conversation which does not represent their usual selves, so I need to have a
range.
Good. Think of a justification for the introduction about why you are picking TOWIE and them specifically. Get the data transcribed asap and keep a clean copy so you can start annotating gendered language and making annotations about where it relates to theory and why it might be that way because of the context.
