Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Television Dramatic Dialogue investigates dramatized dialogue and how it affects unscripted performances in the way people argue, confide, threaten, and otherwise engage each other.
MoreLong description:
When we watch and listen to actors speaking lines that have been written by someone else-a common experience if we watch any television at all-the illusion of ¨people talking¨ is strong. These characters are people like us, but they are also different, products of a dramatic imagination, and the talk they exchange is not quite like ours.
Television Dramatic Dialogue examines, from an applied sociolinguistic perspective, and with reference to television, the particular kind of ärtificial¨ talk that we know as dialogue: onscreen/on-mike talk delivered by characters as part of dramatic storytelling in a range of fictional and nonfictional TV genres. As well as trying to identify the place which this kind of language occupies in sociolinguistic space, Richardson seeks to understand the conditions of its production by screenwriters and the conditions of its reception by audiences, offering two case studies, one British (Life on Mars) and one American (House).
...this affordable book can be recommended to university libraries and students interested in television dialogue research, in particular sociolinguists.
