Coronation street- Analysis

Basic analysis
Tone- Informal, Comic, Personal
Style- Conventional, Realist
Themes- Relationships, financial difficulties and single parent hood.
Stereotypes- Male heart throb is unintelligent, negative stereotype of underage pregnancy, British stereotype of spending free time in the pub, negative stereotype of the poorer people having untidy homes.
Dialect- Mention of "brew" northern phrase for tea.
Age- All ages.
Race/Nationality- Northern British.

Vermisilitude
The events which take place in this are dramatised versions of real life situations meaning that they are not overly accurate representations even though the issues which they are attempting to represent and realistic.


Language used
The verbal language used contains a stereotypical Northern accent and dialect.  Some of the most obvious non-verbal language used would be the body language and eye contact.  The avoidance of eye contact helps to give the scene a deceitful feel.  The lack of eye contact used can also be used to demonstrate a character who is busy or distracted.

Over view of narrative
The scene is taken from the TV drama Coronation street which falls into the soap genre of drama.  Several issues are frequently mentioned such as teenage pregnancy, single parent hood and leaving the North to work in London.  These are much more traditional soap topics compared to Eastenders storylines.
