Abstract
This article proposes a theoretical framework for the analysis of the linguistic and narrative resources used in constructing history in popular media. The suggested combination of linguistic and narratological approaches allows for an integral view of popular history as both a text and a narrative. Using an article from a history magazine, the language resources used to ascribe different types of authenticity and pastness to non-scholarly depictions of history are analyzed in order to illustrate the heuristic potential of this approach.
