In this essay I will be comparing two transcripts. My main focus is on how and why Keys adapts his language in both transcripts regards on the contexts and listeners.
In the first interview, Keys and Gray are in a Sky Sport studio where they are unaware of still being on air and recorded. They are speaking ill of Sian Massey a female linesman.
The conversation between the pair is informal. Keys’s tone is very dismissive and patronising when he say; “somebody … explain offside to her.” He makes it worse when he generalises his opinion on women not knowing the offside rule “they don’t.” This comes across as provocative and sexist towards the listeners as he is suggesting football is not a woman’s sport. Keys sees women as an object, for example …show more content…
However he might not be aware as he is doing so because he used to being the main public eye.
Keys then switches the subject to how he has made an apology to Massey; “Official apology.” When saying this he hopes the audience give him some credits for his act. He strengthen his point when he says, “I rang on behalf of Andy and myself”. He does this to show the crowd he never had bad intention. During His statement makes Andy look bad as the audience would think Andy hasn’t still apologise. He also emphasise on the word “official” so it looks everything was resolved in a professional way.
To convince the audience he is on good terms with Massey now he comments; “she and I enjoy some Banter… very good terms” key uses the slang word “banter” as an understatement to make the listeners feel Massey wasn’t upset by their comments and understands it was all a joke.
Jacob uses numerous techniques in asking questions. For example hey says, “You say it was fun Richard” but makes it sound like a question to provoke an answer in great details. Also he doesn’t interrupt Keys so that his the one talking the …show more content…
Even though Keys has apologised. He still feels he hasn’t done anything wrong as it was just banter. He backs himself by mentioning Rio’s tweet, “prehistoric banter” and informing the public these also happens in the Manchester United dressing room.” He says these to deflect the problems and questions the thoughts of many, like why are they getting upset when it also happens in other environments.
Before the interview ends, Keys is asked if he shouldn’t be sacked as well. He immediately deflects the question back as he replies, “for others to make that decision.” He does this to not step on anyone’s toes because any wrong answer could get him sacked.
Overall, I think that keys voice tone completely changes in transcript 2 compare to transcript 1. This is because he is aware he is being listened by millions and has to act very professionally.
In transcript 1 Keys uses more expressive language like for example; “I can guarantee … big one today” because of that, you get to know what a person Keys is without the spotlight on him compared to transcript 2 when he is under a huge pressurised spotlight and him only using persuading and manipulative language like. “I would, we were
