Analysis of my transcript

The mode of this piece was a transcript, with a field based upon 'X-Factor', and a function to show the effectiveness of X-Factor and how language changes when around family or friends. This was a informal and phatic transcript, as it has abbreviated words like 'isn't' and 'enet' this shows the people in this transcript feel comfortable with each other to shorten words, that the other people in the conversation will still understand. This transcript is also context dependent as you would have to know about the topic 'X-Factor' to understand what it is and how it effects people's Saturday nights. Their is also graphology in this transcript, when 'Mum' says 'Wow...' , this shows the audience the that their was pause because mum was so indulged in the t-v. Also the ellipses portrays how the program effected mum that she was left speechless.

When Grandma asks 'does anyone want their dinner?', the locution is 'no', while the illocution is not now, while the perlocution is that they are busy watching t-v, and cant come to eat now. When mu states that its dark outside, and everyone replies with 'hmm', this is the pragmatic as this is important to inform the audience that no-one was really bothered in what mum was saying, as people were concentrating on the t-v, this was also colloquial as everyone was speaking together.  But by mum saying its getting dark 'quickly' this is the modal expression as this indicates the exaggeration from mum to the audience.  Their were also fillers in this transcript, by the 'little outbursts of laughter' this shows how intrigued everyone was with the t-v that their was some sense of awkward silence, even the pause between the question for dinner and response, this also showed how everyone was intrigued.  Their was also a cultural assumption by 'cousin', by saying she should go on x-factor, this was a joke that only here family or friends could understand, because she is not good at signing.
