4.2 Summary of analysis
The above method of analysis was straightforward and easy to implement. The
criteria identified by earlier theorists (Ivarsson, 1998; Aixelá, 1996) were easy to
combine and easy to use. The findings of the analysis were here presented in flowing
prose, however, for the next part of the pilot analysis, the researcher decided to insert
the analysis into a table in order to achieve an easier and quicker overview of its
findings and to compare this format with that of the „flowing prose‟ format illustrated
above. It should be noted that the table has been split here, in order to prevent it from
spreading across pages.
4.3 Pilot analysis scene 2
What follows is the analysis of another scene taken from the series, using the same
criteria, but presented in table format in Table 4.1 below:
Table 4.1
Pilot analysis scene 2
Description In this scene, Ross prompted everybody to get ready and dressed as soon as
possible because the time was running out. They were scheduled to attend a
donation banquet hosted by the museum Ross was working for. However,
Ross was so anxious that he yelled at Rachel and pushed her to get dressed
immediately. Rachel was mad and went back to her bedroom. When she
came out, she was wearing sweat pants and a sweatshirt.
Lines Ross: “Um. I know it says black tie optional, but, um this may be pushing it
a little, um.”
“我知道单子上写“打领带与否,自行决定”,但你这样好象过分随便了?”
