Language, Identity, and the Action Thriller: A Genre Analysis Study of Bourne Supremacy

Abstract

The study was undertaken to carry out genre analysis of Bourne Supremacy, an action thriller movie. The intent was to explore the linguistic pattern, the rhetorical strategies, and the move structure by applying Bhatia’s multi-perspective framework. The present study is important from the pretext that genre study is helpful in building communication skills. Teachers can make use of it in communication skill class by bringing in media text, a powerful language tool to target all the four language skills. They are also obliging for media studies discipline for clarity and perception of a particular genre and its visual construction. The linguistic analysis of this particular action thriller genre study revealed interesting details pertaining to Bourne Supremacy. It shows how the typical pattern emerges in a new format. Its linguistic structure gives rise to thrill and action at a liberal pace. The move structure indicates a complicated and twisted plot built up through inquiry questions. The rhetorical strategies are simplistic in tone often based on formal tone. They are entwined with the theme and the mystery in a coherent manner.
