Coursework: Tom Hiddleston interviews

In these interviews I have selected one female and one male interviewer to see if this has any effect on the way Tom speaks and can be linked to the dominance theory, though in an interview I intend to analyze the conversation looking for interruptions based on the Zimmerman and West theory/findings. To also give a little more variation I have chosen one interview held in LA and one in the UK to explore the way he uses and varies his language due to him having such a variety of accents surrounding him as stated in the background information.

Background info:

Born in Westminster, London. His father is from Greenock, Scotland and his mother is from Suffolk. Raised in Wimbledon in his early years and oxford later.

Featured on BBC before getting into film productions, the influence of American and Australian actors could have effect on the dialect he uses.
