Misunderstanding: Whose responsibility?; FOOTNOTES; REFERENCES; INDEXWith reference to a brief description of inherent properties of the international news reporting process in a free press tradition, Verschueren criticizes their being neglected in linguistic approaches to the language of the media. In an attempt to illustrate the potential contribution of functional linguistic analyses to a better understanding of the printed media as a channel for international communication, he investigates the use of metapragmatic metaphors (in particular metaphorical verbs of speaking) in the reporting by The New York Times on the U-2 incident in May 1960.Pragmatics & beyond ;6:5.Foreign newsUnited StatesAmerican newspapersLanguageU-2 Incident, 1960MetaphorForeign newsAmerican newspapersLanguage.U-2 Incident, 1960.Metaphor.071/.471Verschueren Jef158632MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821505203321International news reporting4024343UNINA
