Annotation

Radio points out the linguistic construction of institutional identity: it favors presenter speech, as DJs employ language to represent the self, the show, and lastly the station’s identity to the listening audience for commercial goals. The relationship between show structure and stylistic practice in interaction proposes insights into identity construction and audience relationships in institutional contexts.
