analysing Albions transcription

within Albion’s transcription, repetition is used to push forward personal views, and as a form of ‘comeback’ to a question. Arbies starts this repetition by insisting Albion to look and understand that Chelsea are low in the league table at present time, saying ” Look at the table! Look at the table!” simultaneously Arbies pushes his phone showing the score table into Albion’s face and watching him eat his own words of, ” seventeenth, does that make a difference?”.

however Arbies is not alone in the drive for recognition or questioning, for just before Albion justified that being seventeenth in a league doesn’t matter, Albion agrees with Arbies saying ” Fair enough so maybe we are seventeenth in the table,” but still this doesn’t stop Albion question the whole progressing conversation, Albion repeatedly yeld, “and what?And what?And what?” tis left Arbies in a state of confusion, yet still he answered simply by saying, ” yes it does” to if any of this actually matter.

throughout, the conversation between these two, Albion and Arbies both refer to the teams that either of them support as, “you” and this language feature is not just between Albion and Arbies, but also between anyone that has ever had an  argument about football teams! this feature is a worldwide used reference. not like the London nautical’s, “goin’ docks” of which only we would truly understand but is known and used by everyone at some point. Arbies and Albion demonstrate this within their argument,    ” where are YOU in the league”-Arbies   “YOU’VE played five games”-Albion and so on.

(unfortunately sir i do not quite know how to name the language feature i wrote about in the last paragraph, but im sure i will soon with your expertise in such areas!!)
