  Article:   ‘DISSECTIONS’ OF THE VERBAL MODE IN NEWS(PAPER) DISCOURSE: AN IMPRESSIONISTIC SURVEY.

Authors:  EVELINA GRAUR.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  In a period of increasing semiotic fragmentation and crossover, the fall of monomodality proclaimed by Kress and van Leeuwen (2001) in their new theory of communication is not meant to suggest any cataclysm in our daily experience of language opened by news(paper) discourse. Even if language may have lost some of its powers to the advantage of the visual mode - which is worth a thousand words - the verbal mode remains the default option for representing the world in news(paper) discourse. This article identifies some language-related issues raised by the discourse of news.
