The language used today is very different to that of the 1970’s the comparison of the 2 celebrity chefs Fanny Cradock and Jamie Oliver are 2 major chefs who represent this. The videos of both these chefs making omelettes are great examples of how much these chefs contrast. First we have Fanny Cradock the chef who associates herself with the stereotypical housewife of the 1970’s. Misses Cradock Speaks with an upper class accent and tries to giver herself authority above the viewer by giving snappy instructions giving them little freedom of what to do.
On the other side of the Dinner table we have Jamie Oliver the chef who could blend into your average London Crowd and tends to speak with more middle class accent, Jamie’s instructions have a greater freedom do them as he say’s “as a snack on its own with a salad cold meats little bit of ketchup” he gives the viewer multiple choices to choose from and lets them do whatever they like, but on the other hand you have Fanny Cradock who “clicks her fingers” to get the attention of her assistant who she thanks and calls her “my dear” followed by “how I do admire the housewife’s of Britain” which is very sexist in comparison to anything that Jamie Oliver would say.
When Fanny Cradock is talking with her up class accent she takes long pauses between sentences so she has time to think about what she says normally she does this prevent stutters as well as um’s and er’s which is very present throughout Jamie Oliver’s transcript. This Translate again to being much more formal on Fanny’s end. The types of language used by both of them is very different as well where as Jamie Oliver uses much more modern language and slang such as ’orrible,thir’y and cos. Jamie’s more casual tone to speaking also causes many er’s as he struggles to remembers his next sentence but Fanny with her pauses between sentences gives her time to think about her next sentence.
