Please do not copy this work it is only used to help students with there understanding, I hope you enjoy reading it ( Jamie Oliver uses a wide range of language devices to interconnect with his audience. He seems to use many language devices which help him to connect with his preferred audience; such as the word "beautiful" he refers to cauliflowers being beautiful therefore using the language device of dialect and Grice's maxims. Dialect is used in this phrase to show how Oliver interprets the cauliflower its his own distinctive way of presenting the word to his audience to make them really feel and understand how he views the cauliflower; this could be said to be his regional or social language to help him interact with his audience. He is simply describing food, crossing out any barriers that he may have with his audience as know they understand his 'chatty' but 'descriptive' tone of language. As well as this being a chance for Jamie Oliver to interact with his audience on a more chatty tone this could also just be his social and regional dialect this is how he may talk and he is known to say 'beautiful' numerous amounts of times. Grice's Maxims however may also be another language device this could be because Oliver is referring to the quality of the cauliflower and being truthful and calling it beautiful again this may not be necessarily true but could be interpreted as another feature. Jamie Oliver uses discourse markers because hes saying and describing what he’s doing whilst doing it. “bust open”- he’s simply saying open it however he says bust it open which can also be his dialect because that’s his chatty tone he uses to his audiences. Jamie uses vague language because he uses the word bust which isn’t a very formal word therefore its very vague on what he means by bust. You could also say for a “little bit here” is also vague language
