Time and time again: 'live' television commentary and the construction of replay talk
Article Abstract:
Television programs often entice viewers with the notion of live coverage of events, especially sports programs. Sports broadcasts have a language of their own, as broadcasters describe what the viewers can see on their screens and offer commentary on it, creating a free-flowing discourse on the public spectacle. Often such programs are interrupted by obviously taped episodes of programming, such as broadcasts of past events and taped interviews with participants.
