“The Gilmore Linguistics”: An analysis of speech acts and presuppositions in the television series ‘Gilmore Girls’
Schlagworte:
Pragmatics, Semantics, Presupposition, Speech actsAbstract
This paper aims at analyzing, through concepts from the areas of semantics and pragmatics, a script from the American television show, Gilmore Girls (2000). The contents selected as a tool for analysis were retrieved from the books Semantics (Hurford, Heasley & Smith, 2007), and Pragmatics (Yule, 1996), and they consist of ‘Speech Acts’ and ‘Presupposition and Entailment’, themes which converse with each other throughout this analysis. One of the main ideas taken from this paper is that mainstream culture does not need to be excluded from academic contexts, but rather could be used as a gripping object of analysis.
