Download or read book The Language of Doctor Who written by Jason Barr and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a richly developed fictional universe, Doctor Who, a wandering survivor of a once-powerful alien civilization, possesses powers beyond human comprehension. He can bend the fabric of time and space with his TARDIS, alter the destiny of worlds, and drive entire species into extinction. The good doctor’s eleven “regenerations” and fifty years’ worth of adventures make him the longest-lived hero in science-fiction television. In The Language of Doctor Who: From Shakespeare to Alien Tongues, Jason Barr and Camille D. G. Mustachio present several essays that use language as an entry point into the character and his universe. Ranging from the original to the rebooted television series—through the adventures of the first eleven Doctors—these essays explore how written and spoken language have been used to define the Doctor’s ever-changing identities, shape his relationships with his many companions, and give him power over his enemies—even the implacable Daleks. Individual essays focus on fairy tales, myths, medical-travel narratives, nursery rhymes, and, of course, Shakespeare. Contributors consider how the Doctor’s companions speak with him through graffiti, how the Doctor himself uses postmodern linguistics to communicate with alien species, and how language both unites and divides fans of classic Who and new Who as they try to converse with each other. Broad in scope, innovative in approach, and informed by a deep affection for the program, TheLanguage of Doctor Whowill appeal to scholars of science fiction, television, and language, as well as to fans looking for a new perspective on their favorite Time Lord.

Chapter 1: Finding Milo A beautiful, old library stood in a quiet little town where the sun was softly shining on the roofs. Along the length of the room, shelves rose almost to the roof and were piled high with books of all shapes and sizes. Milo, the little mouse, also thought this library was a great place for people. Milo was not like other mice. The other kids were looking for cheese and crumbs quickly, but Milo was thinking about something much more amazing. He came out of his small hole in the wall one cold evening, just as the library lights went out and the last few people left. He softly tapped his little paws on the wood, and his beautiful, curious eyes sparkled with joy. He knew he had to find the place where a lot of stories were said to be true. Milo was wondering when he found a pretty spot that looked like it sparkled softly from the moonlight coming in through a window. One of the chairs had a book propped up on it. This book wasn't like any other. It was big, and the cover sparkled with magic and dust. Milo's heart rate went up a little. He had discovered the way to open up new thoughts, feelings, and ideas. It was hard for Milo to sit down and open the book. He was committed no matter what, even if the pages were bigger than he was. He was taken on trips he had never imagined by the beautiful words and pictures he saw as he turned the pages. When he read stories about faraway places, brave heroes, mysterious animals, and exciting events, his heart raced. Milo thought it was interesting. By turning the leaves of books, he found that he could go anywhere, meet anyone, and learn anything. He became more and more excited about stories with each page he turned.
