Summary: | In the article mechanisms of the speech strategy of a communicative initiative control in a media
medical discourse are described from a position of pragmalinguistics. Releases of the German talk-show about
health “Hauptsache Gesund” served as material for the research. It is presumed that voluntary efforts to regulate
exchange of communicative roles might influence the speech strategy of a communicative initiative control by
means of different tactics in relation to the status of communicants. In the course of the research the following
speech tactics were revealed: tactics of “an initiative transfer”, of “taking of an initiative”, of “stimulation of an
initiative”, of “evasion from an initiative” and “conclusion of a conversation”. By means of correlation between
communicative efforts of speech interaction partners the leading role of the moderator (a host of the talk show) in
the course of redistribution of a communicative initiative is verified. It is revealed that the most frequent tactics are:
tactics of “an initiative transfer” which is carried out by actions of the talk-show host with the aim to contribute to
the development of subject lines of the program and to prepare mass audience for discussion of a new subject; the
tactics of “conclusion of a conversation”, implemented by means of a subject change and switching attention onto
other speaker. |
