Abstract

Southeastern English, like all the other dialects of English, has many specific attributes to it. The variation in the dialect can be found in its morphology, vocabulary, and pronunciation. This paper will deal with the linguistic features of the Southeastern English dialect used in the reality TV series The Only Way Is Essex. The show is filmed in Essex, a county in the Southeast of England. The aim of the empirical research presented in the paper is to compare the descriptions offered in the literature to the features found in the present corpus.
