Abstract:
This book provides the first comprehensive account of temporal deixis in
English printed and online news texts. Linking the characteristic usage of
tenses with the projection of deictic centres, it notes how conventional
tenses, particularly in headlines, are affected by heteroglossia arising from
various accessed voices. The resulting tense shifts are interpreted
pragmatically as a conventional reader-oriented strategy that creates the
impression of temporal co-presence. It is argued that since different tense
choices systematically correlate with the three main textual segments of news
texts, the function of tense needs to be viewed in a close connection with its
local context. Traditional news texts are also contrasted with online news,
particularly as far as the effect of hypertextuality on the coding of time is
concerned. A two-level structural framework for the analysis of online news is
proposed in order to account for their increased textual complexity. The book
will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students working in the
fields of media pragmatics, discourse analysis and stylistics.
