Genre: it is a radio program.

Context: This extract deals with the accusation of sexual assault against Luis Rubiales after he kissed the football player Jenni Hermoso on the lips without her consent. This is the theme of conversation in this radio program, where there are 3 people involved in it. The radio host asks them for opinions or perspectives on the case. One of the people involved is a woman because she uses the phrase “you’d said that 'cause you’re a man” when arguing with Philip. The program could be watched live and could also be looked up on YouTube or another streaming platform.

Type of text: argumentative. There is an attempt made by the participants to defend their different points of view.

Language: It is spoken language. The communication is spontaneous, it does not have a script. We can see it in the pauses, repetitions, or in the use of phrases like “there he goes, there he comes”.

Participants: Three people produce the text: Philip, a woman, and a radio host. The audience is the people interested in this case, watching or listening through a medium such as TV or the Internet.

Topic: the accusation of sexual assault against Luis Rubiales from Jenni Hermoso after he kissed her on the lips without her consent.

Purpose: to discuss about the allegations of sexual assault against Luis Rubiales.

Tone: it is agressive. The participants don't speak in a nice way between them. Also, they battles between them during the exchange of their pointviews.

Register: informal. The participants use contractions and colloquial language, talk over each other, and laugh. There is a lack of distance among the participants.

Lexico choices:

Sexual act, intent, crime, actus reus, mens rea. These are examples extracted from the text where Phillip uses the terminology of a man of law.

Man, woman, entitled, disgusting. We chose these words because they emphasize the feminist perspective showing the construction of this specific speech.

Blown out of proportion, over the top. Suddenly, the man of law says some phrases that have nothing to do with the lexical choices he is using. This is everyday language, it breaks with the speech.

It uses everyday language, it is aimed at regular people, and it also contains some lexical choices that belong to the realm of legal matters. Philip

might be a lawyer.

• Think /θɪŋ/

• Man /mæn/

• Eyes /aɪz/

• Crime /kraɪm/

• Blown /bləʊn/

• Top /tɒp/

Disyllabic words such as nouns, adjectives and adverbs are words that tend to be stressed on the first syllable, the second syllable suffers a vowel reduction. There may be exceptions.

Nouns:

            O    o

• Feeling (follows the pattern/tendency)

            O    o

• Woman (follows the pattern/tendency)

Adjectives:

         O    o

• Sexual (follows the pattern/tendency)

o   O 

• Intent (does not follow the pattern/tendency)

 Verbs: In the case of verbs, they are often stressed on the second syllable. There are exceptions as in the words ‘happen and listen’ that are stressed on the first syllable.

        o  O o

• Divided: In this case, the root of the verb "divide" is disyllabic, yet it is attached to the -ed suffix to form the past tense. Additionally, the verb ends with /d/ consonant sound so the past form is pronounced as /ID/ sound forming an extra syllable, therefore is also a polysyllabic word.

Polysyllabic words are words that have more than two syllables and follow three possible patterns: 

1. The stress on the first syllable is louder and longer and the rest of the syllables are flat.

2. The stress is on the second syllable 

3. The stress is on the third or fourth syllables which needs a secondary stress to balance words.

Examples:

1st pattern:

• Elements   /ˈel·ə·mənts/    O o o

2nd pattern:

• Disgusting      o O o

• Entirely           o O o

• Important        o O o

• Proportion       o O o

• Consider         o O o

• Example          o O o

3rd pattern:

• Necessarily /,nes.ə.'ser.ɪl.i/

  O o O o o

  
  

Prefixes: Are elements that influence the shape of words. They are always stressed.
