ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНО-ПРАГМАТИЧЕСКИЙ АСПЕКТ ТЕКСТОВ СЛУХОВ О СЕЛЕБРИТИ В АНГЛОЯЗЫЧНОМ МАССМЕДИЙНОМ ДИСКУРСЕ

Обоснование. Актуальность слухов в коммуникативных процессах, присущих современному информационному обществу, значительно выросла благодаря их функциональным возможностям. Коммуникативно-текстовая природа слухов потенцирует необходимость их пристального изучения в рамках лингвистики. Цель исследования заключается в раскрытии специфики функционально-прагматического плана текстовых репрезентантов англоязычного массмедийного жанра «celebrity gossip». Материалы и методы. Объектом исследования служат медиаслухи жанра «celebrity gossip» («светские слухи»), являющиеся типичными конституэнтами коммуникативного пространства современных англоязычных СМИ. Методологическую основу работы составляет дискурсивно-ориентированный подход, предполагающий применение совокупности методов, формирующих систему дискурс-анализа. Результаты. Исследование текстов светских слухов на основе классической жанровой модели, включающей тематический, структурный и стилистический уровни, показало, что в контексте дискурса их жанрово-дискурсивные характеристики обусловлены множественностью интенций их продуцентов. В качестве одной из доминантных выявлена интенция воздействия, реализуемая ведущей дискурсивной стратегией – убеждением адресата в достоверности передаваемых сведений. Данная стратегия детерминируется прагматической сфокусированностью структурно-композиционных и семантико-стилистических компонентов. Синергетический эффект, возникающий при наложении широкого арсенала экспрессивных языковых средств на типовые формы информационных журналистских жанров, обеспечивает существование в обширном коммуникативном пространстве массмедиа неэвидентного гибридного дискурса, нацеленного на непритязательного адресата. Область применения результатов. Результаты исследования могут быть полезны при создании лингвистической модели слухов.

Celebrity gossip as a genre in English-language mass media discourse

The multidimensionality of rumours as part and parcel of mass communication has stipulated the research in their linguistic nature. The present paper studies this specific communication phenomenon and the discursive practices by means of which it is realized across the Anglophone mass media discourse continuum. The theory of discourse-analysis underpinning the present paper predetermines an integrative approach with various methods employed. This approach makes it possible to gain an insight into the complex nature of the object under study. The research is targeted at media rumours, namely celebrity gossip, manifested in on-line versions of the printed press and original web outlets in 2015-2018. The main goal of the research is to reveal specific features of media rumors as a speech genre in the Anglophone media communication. Celebrity gossip texts make up the empiric material for the present study. This aim is achieved via the description of the content and form of the text-type structure supplemented by an application of stylistic analysis. In terms of the topics, the findings demonstrate a wide variety of topoi comprising both public (social interactions) and private spheres of celebrities’ life with an emphasis on privacy, sensationalism and scandalous impropriety as dominant discursive characteristics of the text-type samples under study. The structure of the celebrity gossip discourse is represented by texts in different journalistic forms: from informative genres to feature type variations used by authors as means of constructing celebrity culture. The information of trivial content and questionable validity because of its unverified character is disguised as reports of high testimonial trustworthiness and epistemic value with the help of a variety of language and textual resources. The results of the study enable us to argue that within the mass media communication there exists a specific discourse which is hybrid by nature and non-evidential by verification.

A Magnificent Blond Beast: Exploring the Implications of Harlem Renaissance Writer Wallace Thurman as Ghostwriter of a Forgotten Celebrity Gossip Memoir

In an early version of his article “Harlem Literati in the Twenties,” first published in the Saturday Evening Review in 1940, Langston Hughes offers the curious suggestion that Wallace Thurman was the ghostwriter of Men, Marriage and Me (erroneously written as Men, Women and Checks in Hughes’ article), the tell-all memoir ostensibly by the original blonde bombshell Peggy Hopkins Joyce. According to Hopkins’ biographer, however, Basil Woon, an English playwright and gossip columnist was supposed to have been the ghostwriter of this book. My paper will address this discrepancy by focusing on the lack of evidence supporting the Woon theory, and through an analysis using stylometry, close reading and an examination of historical documents, I will argue that Thurman is the more likely candidate as a ghostwriter for Hopkins’ memoirs, just as Hughes suggests. I will be looking specifically at the way the text, which is presented to the reader as a diary written by Hopkins from her early youth to the present day, satirizes the shallowness and excesses of the “roaring twenties.” I will argue that the text is clearly ironic and satirical in style and approach and not only satirizes celebrity, but also a society that unselfconsciously celebrates celebrity, much the way Thurman satirizes the excesses of the Harlem Renaissance in his novel Infants of the Spring. In conclusion, I will show how this book, which has been largely dismissed as celebrity gossip, is transformed into something highly literary by the way Thurman, as ghostwriter and editor, takes Hopkins’ life story and turns it into a satire of the excesses of an era.

Gossip and Reputation in the Media

This chapter has three goals. The first is to illuminate the various topics covered in mass media gossip about complete unknowns and celebrities, highlighting the overlap with interpersonal gossip. The second goal is to zoom in on celebrity gossip by examining who becomes a celebrity and what role the media play in this process. Third, we take a look at the audience, reviewing why people consume celebrity gossip, and how some people become so deeply involved with some celebrities that they actively take part in the creation and evolution of celebrities and their reputation. In all these discussions, we try to make clear how reputation gossip is a key part in every step of the process. That is, reputation gossip is what makes someone a celebrity and what drives the audiences to consume celebrity gossip and, in doing so, reinforcing the creation of a “celebrity.”

Framing Sálvame: Public debates on taste, quality and television in Spain

The main aim of this article is to analyze the social circulation of discourses on non-hegemonic cultural practices, in particular, on what is called “trash TV”, and how they are connected to struggles over cultural and social hierarchies. To do so, it takes a specific event as starting point: the injunction that the CNMC (the Spanish broadcasting regulatory body) filed against Mediaset (a commercial TV operator) to adjust the contents of Sálvame Diario (a celebrity gossip program frequently associated with “trash TV”) to the requirements of what is known as the “child protection time slot”. This paper uses constructionist framing to analyze how this event was discussed by different social actors. Our analysis shows that while the CNMC and the press painted the conflict as a legal issue, Sálvame and social media users focused their discussion on the social acceptability of celebrity gossip media and their viewers (specifically working-class women).
