Jak cytować
Abstrakt
W roku 2017 program Good Morning Britain zaprosił na swoją antenę Janusza Korwina-Mikkego, ówcześnie członka Europarlamentu, aby wytłumaczył się ze swoich kontrowersyjnych wypowiedzi w trakcie jednej z europejskich debat. Wywiad, który prowadził Piers Morgan, szybko zmienił się w ożywioną dyskusję pełną sygnałów językowych charakterystycznych dla dyskursu konfliktu. Przedstawione badanie analizuje tę konfrontację i korzystając z metodologii analizy konwersacyjnej, koncentruje się na koncepcji mocy mówcy. Analiza pokazuje, że rozmówcy prezentują swoją moc językową poprzez bezpośrednią nieuprzejmość językową, wzmacniacze, dyskurs na poziomie meta, gradację, argumentację epistemiczną, tryb rozkazujący. Publiczny odbiór wydarzenia jest wysoko krytyczny względem Piersa Morgana oraz krytyczny, ale bardziej zbalansowany, w przypadku Janusza Korwina-Mikke. Dyskusja na temat wywiadu otwiera szerzej zakrojone debaty na temat (nie)prawidłowości dziennikarskich, seksizmu oraz UE. Mimo pragmatycznego zwycięstwa Morgana w tej debacie, to Korwin-Mikke zyskuje większe poparcie wśród odbiorców, co sprowadza się do zjawiska dwóch błędów poznawczych: efektu aureoli oraz paradoksu mocnego mówcy.
