Language Style Used by James Corden in the Late Late Show

Abstract

Language is one of the important things to communicate with others.
People use language to show their emotions. There are five different
language styles, frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casual
style, and intimate style, which people can use to interact with others.
People with different social cultures, ages, statuses, and gender might
use different language styles. This study investigates James Cordon’s
different language style while interviewing his guest stars, James Lee
Curtis, Dwayne Johnson, and Ed Sheeran, on The Late Late Show. The
study results show that James Corden used three different language
styles: formal, casual, and consultative. As Jamie is older than James,
he prefers to use formal language during the show. However, while
interviewing Dwayne and Ed Sheeran, who are younger than James, he
used different language styles, casual and consultative. The results of
the study indicate that the age of the addressee considers the language
style preference.
