Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language used in television talk shows, focusing on a case study of NTA Kaduna. Its objectives are to describe the nature of dialogue in this context, evaluate it, and highlight its unique features. This research sheds light on aspects of talk show language that have not been previously examined. Typically, discourse analysts assume that language in formal or institutionalized settings is structured and adheres to established discourse analysis principles. Consequently, there is often a noticeable difference between language use in spontaneous versus institutionalized settings.

Chapter one provides the study’s background, including an overview of the case study, and discusses the research problem, objectives, scope, limitations, and significance. Chapter two reviews the literature, explores the concept of television talk shows, and traces the history and format of breakfast talk shows. Chapter three presents and analyzes the data collected. Finally, chapter four offers a pragmatic perspective, which serves as the foundation for the study’s conclusions.

The study finds that the language used in the talk show deviates from the typical patterns observed in institutional settings. It recommends further analysis of language use in other institutional contexts to understand their flexibility and spontaneity, and suggests applying various linguistic theoretical frameworks to dialogue analysis.
