Description
Summary:This article aims to analyse the portrayal of the language spoken by women in Italian television fiction. Language, together with visual images, is an indispensable tool for characterisation and the creation of models that, on one hand, have the purpose of representing reality through the construction of a plausible world but on the other hand stray from real life in that they represent stereotypes that make the models instantly credible and the events predictable. Starting from this premise, in order to analyse the female models depicted by Italian television we have focused our observations on a few very successful fictional TV series: <em>Un medico in famiglia</em> (1998), <em>Commesse</em> (1999), <em>Il bello delle donne</em> (2000); the first is a family drama, while the other two are dramas with predominantly female casts.
