Analysis

Looking at both of the trasncripts, it is clear that the ambulance call transcript has more use of spontaneous speech as opposed to the vlog. The vlog has obviously been scripted to some extent as well as they know what they are going to talk about and it has been planned out. The amount of spontaneous features in the first transcript, such as interruptions and pauses are frequent in the first transcript, however in the second transcript of the vlog, the number of spontaneous language features are fewer. The fact that the video has been edited to cut out any long pauses to decrease the time of the video has been used for effect, influences the amount of spontaneous speech features within the transcript. However, like the use of an outline script on the volg transcript, the woman on the pther end of the phone to the 6 yea old boy, Liam, obviously has trained experience and has a certain criteria to ask the person on the phone to find out certain information about them and the incident that has happened. This then decreases the amount of unknown spontaneous conversation for the phone receptionist.
