The relevance of the study is based on the importance of Oscars as a reflection of the world’s history and the insufficient amount of research on the influence of various factors on the linguistic peculiarities of speech. Given the fact that the ceremony attracts the attention of 10 to 20 million people from the entire world yearly, it’s safe to say that it’s a huge medium for message broadcasting that’s used in order to talk about acute problems that are happening in the corresponding period of time.
The object of study is the various factors like gender, age, nationality, race and the global situation that influence the phonetic and emotional characteristics of speech.
The subject of study is the speeches given by the winners of Oscars.
The practical significance of the work is that its materials can contribute to the understanding of the influence of different factors on the way that speech is produced in terms of phonetics and emotionality. It can also be used for tracing the development of historical events through the years, as well as the global problems that were acute in certain time periods.
