In Ramone’s dialogue an omission is used when he says “Where’s Andy? Y U out of class? The omission is used to emphasise the effect of shortening words has, due to the speakers knowing esch other very well they can talk to each other in non standard english and will understand each other, the word ‘are’  is removed from the sentence as even without  the word ‘are’ it will still be understood by both speakers,thus, speeding up the conversation.

Another omission is used when Ramone says “Bullethead” towards Gabriel, the word itself ‘Bullethead’ is understood by both speakers thus being behind the reason why it is being used in the dialogue. It has an overall effect as the word is understood and well known between the speakers.

Arbies Ight, what position are you in the league?                                                                       green= Idiom

      Al right, what position are you in the league?                                                                    blue= Repetition

One of the reasons why many people shorten there words is so they can say it initially much quicker and at a faster rate they can do this to add more effect top their point. Another reason why some people may shorten words is because of brevity, in order to emphasise the short duration of the speech, this is shown when I say ight instead of saying alright, due to the speakers being roughly at the same age it is right ti use this form of language, however when talking to someone older or in more power it is often right to use standard English.

Albion: And what? And what? And what?

          What if we are?

The reason why poeple use repetitionin sentences is to emphasise a point, whenever they recieve a point that icludes facts they often repeat words to make them stand out abd bolder, they do this to show that they are the boss in the convestation. People often comeback with repetition suggesting that it doesn’t affect them in any way and it is not of such importance in their view. Another possible rerason is that because they have nothing to comeback with and intially fail to provide a factual answer they repeat what they are saying to make it look like a point. However in normal spppech repetition can be possibly used to make a point seem stronger and to give power to the speaker.

Arbies: Look at the table Look at the table

            Why don’t you look at the table?

The reason why I use repetition as well as Albion is to illustrate emphasis on each of our seperate points, in my personal view i used repetition in this scenario to show how low Chelsea football club is in the Barclays Premier League table, however in albions point of view he uses repetition to show that he wasn’t worried about my point and didn’t care where chelsea were positioned iin the leauge as it is only the beginning of the season

Standard English Version

Red = Idiom

Green = Omission

Blue = Repetition

Arbies: Ight, what position are you in the league

Arbies: Alright, what position are you  in the league

Arbies: Lemme jusss bring out the league table, juss look at da table look at da table

Arbies: Let me just bring out the league table, just look at the league table look at the table

Albion: I personally fink yeh (back channeling

Albion: I personally think

Albion: No cuz den dey make da points equal now

Albuon: No because then they make the points equal now

Arbies: Look at the table,look at the table (repetition, emphasis)

Arbies : Why don’t you look at the table?
