This scholarly monograph examines how spoken discourse is shaped, represented, and interpreted within televised talk-show formats. Focused on European examples, it explores the relationship between words, images, and media framing, showing how talk shows construct meaning through both verbal exchange and visual presentation. The study is relevant to linguistics, discourse analysis, communication studies, and media research. It considers the conventions of public conversation on television, the roles of hosts and guests, and the ways in which talk-show settings influence interaction, authority, and audience perception. Rather than treating speech as isolated text, the work situates spoken language within the broader communicative environment of broadcast media. Aimed at researchers and advanced students interested in French-language scholarship on media discourse, the book offers a focused analysis of talk shows as sites where language, image, and public performance intersect.
