I think there could be nothing more hopelessly non-U than to write a book about it.(Russel Lynes, introduction to Noblesse Oblige, edited by Nancy Mitford, 1959) close the discussion by focusing on the comparison between real and represented upper-class English through the analysis of a few public speeches by the Queen and other aristocratic figures and how these speeches were rendered in The Crown.The results from this study, which combines the disciplines of sociolinguistics and dialectology applied to the audiovisual text, will hopefully open a new path in the study of the language of the élite group, which can still be considered as an under-researched topic in academia.
Many people helped me, directly or indirectly, during the years of my doctoral studies. In particular, I would like to thank: First of all, my supervisor, prof. Irene Ranzato, for being an inspiring mentor and an encouraging and caring advisor. Without her guidance and support, this thesis would not have come to light. I am also grateful to her for finding an academic potential in me and for involving me in new opportunities and challenges, thus contributing to my professional and personal development.All the other English lecturers at the Department of European, American and Intercultural Studies at Sapienza University for showing interest in my research and for often providing helpful advice.My Ph.D. colleagues, with whom I can always share my doubts and experiences.All the researchers that I have met during conferences and seminars, who provided cues to explore new directions.My friends and family, for offering me enjoyable social-life moments that recharged my mental energy.close the discussion by focusing on the comparison between real and represented upper-class English through the analysis of a few public speeches by the Queen and other aristocratic figures and how these speeches were rendered in The Crown.The results from this study, which combines the disciplines of sociolinguistics and dialectology applied to the audiovisual text, will hopefully open a new path in the study of the language of the élite group, which can still be considered as an under-researched topic in academia.
