In quanto possibile strumento di comunicazione intenzionale fra un emittente e un ricevente, il cinema si può considerare un linguaggio. Ma, se è così, com’è possibile comprendere questo linguaggio? E’ forse necessario postulare l’esistenza di un lingua del cinema: cioè di un sistema di segni, basato su convenzioni e articolato per mezzo di una grammatica? Scartata come semplicistica l’idea che un film si possa capire solo in quanto duplicazione di una preesistente messa in scena, innumerevoli teorizzazioni hanno supposto che una lingua del cinema dovesse esistere, cercandone la struttura morfologica e sintattica. La tesi sostenuta in questo libro è invece che il cinema narrativo, per essere comprensibile, non abbia bisogno né di una semantica, né di una sintassi, ma solo di una pragmatica. Una teoria pragmatica sufficientemente potente da specificare anche le regole che presiedono all’intepretazione di un racconto filmico fu elaborata - come è mostrato in questo volume - dal filosofo inglese Paul Grice in un importante articolo dal titolo “Logic and conversation”.

Since the birth of cinema, film has been lauded as a visual rather than a verbal medium; this sentiment was epitomized by John Ford's assertion in 1964 that, ""When a motion picture is at its best, it is long on action and short on dialogue."" Little serious work has been done on the subject of film dialogue, yet what characters say and how they say it has been crucial to our experience and understanding of every film since the coming of sound.

This cutting-edge collection of articles provides the first organised reflection on the language of films and television series across British, American and Italian cultures. The volume suggests new directions for research and applications, and offers a variety of methodologies and perspectives on the complexities of "telecinematic" discourse - a hitherto virtually unexplored area of investigation in linguistics. The papers share a common vision of the big and small screen: the belief that the discourses of film and television offer a re-presentation of our world. As such, telecinematic texts reorganise and recreate language (together with time and space) in their own way and with respect to specific socio-cultural conventions and media logic. The volume provides a multifaceted, yet coherent insight into the diegetic - as it revolves around narrative - as opposed to mimetic - as referring to other non-narrative and non-fictional genres - discourses of fictional media. The collection will be of interest to researchers, tutors and students in pragmatics, stylistics, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, communication studies and related fields.
