Radial-Chain Model Of Everyday Interpretation Of Media Events In Internet Discourse

Abstract

The research devoted to the study of media routine is relevant nowadays. The paper raises the problem of everyday interpretation of media events in Internet Discourse. The problem given falls into the range of Neolinguistics studying occurrence of language of everyday life. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the model of everyday interpretation of media events. As the model of interpretation we understand the way of development of the media event in Interpretive Discourse. The methodological basis of the research is the methodology of Interpretative Linguistics. Interpretation is considered as a process of actualisation of the mode meanings of agreement, disagreement, or neutral mode meanings. These dialogic modalities form the mode plan of interpretative activity and the interpretative statement as a result. The material for analysis was formed with comments of the online news article. The method of interpretative statement analysis revealing the mode meanings actualised in statements and establishing mode statement concord forming the text corpus is used to identify the model of everyday interpretation. Based on the analysis of empirical material, a radial-chain model of interpretation of everyday interpretation of media events in Internet Discourse is defined and described. The implementation of this model assumes that interpretation (sequence) of the media event is carried out in the common Internet Discourse simultaneously from the text-base, and from other statements indirectly related to the text-base.
