Features: On-air commentary is a crucial expressive means in television program creation, playing varying degrees of roles in all types of television programs. The creation and conception of on-air commentary differ from general literary creation, possessing its own unique principles and requirements. In recent years, the rapid development of television programs has left past discussions far behind practical needs, and systematic theoretical works in this area have been missing for many years. Television professionals urgently need specialized books on this subject. This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental principles of on-air commentary creation, conducts an in-depth theoretical analysis of the linguistic characteristics of on-air commentary through theories from semiotics, linguistics, psychology, sociology, and other fields. Combining extensive creative experience and practical application, it provides a detailed introduction to the coordination between on-air commentary and other television techniques, introduces the special requirements of on-air commentary in terms of form and artistry, and thoroughly explains the specific creative steps and processes, as well as the key considerations when creating on-air commentary for various types of television programs. The book is well-structured, easy to understand, and offers both considerable theoretical depth and broad research potential. It is highly practical, providing concrete guidance for actual creation. The book focuses on methodological introductions, avoiding rigid adherence to fixed concepts and definitions. Its dialectical analysis and presentation enable readers to generalize and integrate knowledge effectively. The book's rich and classic examples, clear key points and difficulties, lively writing style, and dynamic thinking are its outstanding features, making it one of the indispensable textbooks for television program creation. The book systematically elaborates on the fundamental principles of on-air commentary creation, conducts an in-depth theoretical analysis of the linguistic characteristics of on-air commentary through theories from semiotics, linguistics, psychology, sociology, and other fields.
