Linguistic Actualisation of the Author’s Personality in the English-Language News Discourse (by the Material of the BBC News Portal)
Scientific novelty of the paper lies in conducting an in-depth study and providing a description of the observed patterns and correlations in the use of various explicit and implicit means of the English language in the English-language news discourse. The work aims to outline the main means of the English language that explicitly or implicitly reflect the author’s personality in the media discourse. The research findings confirm the hypothesis that authors of news articles and the means of expressing the author’s standpoint used when presenting news material in the English-language media space are politically biased. Authors of modern English-language articles appear to be constructs of the news discourse, which proves the fact that the news discourse is implicitly and explicitly determined by the categories of evaluativity and emotivity.
