T1 Projection in News Discourse: Speech Responsibility and Attitude
A1 López Folgado, Vicente
AB In this paper I attempt to tackle the problem of allocating the strategyof directness and indirectness of discourse in newswriting. In newswriting the reporter represents her/his own views through a number ofstrategic devices many of which have to do with grammatical structuressuch as projection of speech and thought. (Halliday 1985; Martin1992). Several issues are involved here like factual and non factualutterances, as well as direct quotation and indirect report. I provideseveral examples of news writing about the Chechnya war published ina very short span of time. The news writers are committed not only tothe truth of the events but also to the correct interpretation of the meaningsreported and the words quoted.
