  abstract: "This book offers a comprehensive and refined account of movie discourse through the application of Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) to the American Movie Corpus, a collection of authentic, verified movie dialog transcriptions. Expanding on previous MDA-based research, it broadens both the scope of data and the methodological framework by integrating the Grammar of Graphics to facilitate the interpretation of linguistic findings. The study addresses the longstanding debate on the authenticity of scripted dialog, demonstrating the textual and linguistic proximity between movie language and spontaneous conversation. It includes genre-based and diachronic analyses, offering a rigorous, data-driven perspective on movie language as both a linguistic resource and a tool for teaching spoken grammar. Bridging corpus linguistics, applied linguistics, and media studies, the book provides valuable insights for scholars, educators, and learners interested in spoken language, ELT, and telecinematic discourse, while contributing a novel, visualized approach to empirical language analysis"-- Provided by publisher.
