Структурные и стилистические особенности англоязычных новостных текстов

Выводы  по главе 1

В первой главе было рассмотрено становление науки о текстах СМИ, а также были рассмотрены вопросы, стоящие в центре ее исследований. Было дано определение понятия медиатекст и дана типологическая классификация медиатекстов. В ходе главы был выявлен ряд спорных вопросов относительно функционально-жанровой классификации медиатекстов, и была рассмотрена точка зрения различных специалистов на данную проблему. В итоге был сделан вывод о том, что учение Виноградова В.В. о функциях языка является наиболее удобным для того, чтобы описать все стилистические колебания, которые существует внутри такого сложного явления как тексты массовой информации. Более подробно были рассмотрены новостные медиатексты, и было выявлено, что новости являются базовым типом текстов СМИ в силу ряда объективных факторов. Классификация новостей была проведена на основе различных принципов, таких как их содержание, выделение устойчивых тематических блоков и канал распространения новостей. Для описания классификации медиатекстов и также в основном в работе использовался научный труд Добросклонской Т.Г., так как на данный момент ее исследование в области медиалингвистики является наиболее полным в нашей стране. В данной главе были также рассмотрены методы анализа текстов СМИ, и было уделено особое внимание изучению газетных новостных сообщений.

Superjumbo makes maiden UK voyage

(Filed: 18/05/2006)

The world's biggest passenger airliner, the giant 555-seater Airbus A380, has touched down safely at Heathrow Airport on its first visit to Britain.

With Ed Strongman, a British test pilot, at the controls, the 240ft-long, double-decker plane landed at the west London airport at about 1.20pm.

Big crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the £200 million plane as it flew in from the Berlin Air Show.

Captain Strongman and his crew took a deliberate detour so they could pass over two Airbus UK plants - Broughton in North Wales - where the A380's wings are made - and Filton in Bristol.

Among those waiting to greet the plane at a new £105 million pier 6 at Heathrow's Terminal 3 is Gordon Brown, the Chancellor.

The new pier is part of £450 million worth of work that BAA, the airport operator, is doing at Heathrow to enable the airport to accommodate the A380 and future large aircrafts.

The A380 will stay at Heathrow while tests are carried out to ensure it is compatible with the new facilities. The plane will return to Berlin early tomorrow morning.

It was first shown off by Airbus at its Toulouse headquarters in a lavish event attended by Tony Blair in January 2005.

Then, in April last year, the plane flew for the first time, completing a four-hour flight.

Airbus has spent around £6 billion to introduce the A380. So far the company has taken 159 firm orders from 16 airlines for the plane, including Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Qantas, Qatar Airways and Emirates.

However British Airways has yet to place an order. They, like many other airline companies, want to wait and see how the plane performs and how ready the world's airports are to receive it.

Prodi: War in Iraq was 'grave' mistake

ROME (AP) — Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi said Thursday the war in Iraq was a "grave" mistake, but said Italy would remain on the front lines in the war against terror.

"We consider the war and occupation in Iraq a grave error that hasn't solved — but has complicated — the problem of security," Prodi said in his first address to the Senate as prime minister. "Terrorism has found a new base and new excuses for internal and external terrorist action."

Prodi said his government would participate in anti-terror operations if they are sanctioned by international organizations, such as the United Nations.

"We are convinced participants in the war against terrorism, even militarily, when it is legitimized by an international organization to which we belong."

As opposition leader, Prodi opposed the war in Iraq and had said during the campaign that the remaining troops would be pulled out "as soon as possible."

The government of former conservative Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sent about 3,000 troops to Iraq to help reconstruction after the ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003, but the move was widely opposed by Italians.

The contingent is being pulled out gradually, and Berlusconi's government had said the withdrawal would be completed by the end of the year.

Prodi did not give a precise timeline Thursday for the withdrawal, saying only it would happen in consultation with Iraqi authorities.

On a different topic, Prodi also vowed to do everything in his power to help make Europe a strong and unified force on the international scene, but was careful not to sideline the United States.

"And also to consolidate and enrich ... the historic alliance with the United States of America," Prodi said.

Prodi back in power but with a fractious coalition

May 18, 2006

From Richard Owen in Rome

FIVE weeks after winning a slim majority in the Italian election, Romano Prodi yesterday formed a left-of-centre government that is designed to reverse or modify the legacy of Silvio Berlusconi.

Signor Prodi’s return to power — ten years to the day since he formed his first administration — marks a personal triumph but there are doubts about how long the 61st postwar Italian administration will last. The hard Left, which supported Signor Prodi in parliament after his 1996 election win but eventually brought him down, is now in the Cabinet. The Left wants Signor Prodi to give legal recognition to gay civil partnerships and ease restrictions on fertility treatment.

Signor Prodi’s fractious coalition has a majority of two in the Senate. His Cabinet of 25 is dominated by the Party of the Democratic Left (PDS), the former Communist Party, with nine ministers, and the centrist Margherita (Daisy) party, with seven. Reflecting coalition rivalries, Signor Prodi appointed two deputy prime ministers, Massimo D’Alema, the PDS chairman, who also becomes Foreign Minister, and Francesco Rutelli, the Margherita leader, who gains the important Culture portfolio.

Two key ministries go to internationally respected non-party figures: Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, a former member of the European Central Bank board, becomes Economy Minister, and Giuliano Amato, the former Prime Minister, becomes Interior Minister.

Briton killed in Spanish robbery

Saturday, May 14, 2005       

A 67-year-old Briton was shot dead by burglars at his country chalet in Spain, police said.

A spokesman for Murcia police said the man, whom he named as Wilson Mills, was killed in the property in south-eastern Spain.

The spokesman said: "It is possible someone will be arrested soon."

He added that no further developments were expected to be revealed until Saturday morning.

Police said six hooded assailants, driving a stolen car, approached the property in the residential neighbourhood of Valle Sol, close to the town of Cieza.

They opened fire on the man with a shotgun and then made off with several backpacks, one containing an unknown quantity of money.

On discovering the body, police cordoned off the area.

They found the stolen car later after it had apparently crashed into a van.

Police believe the gang then ran away on foot.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We have received reports that a British national has died in

the south east of Spain.

"Consular staff are standing by to provide appropriate assistance once we have established details."

8 Iraqis killed in attacks 

BAGHDAD (AP) - A car bomb killed a U.S. soldier in Iraq and U.S. troops shot dead eight Iraqis,

including five civilians, during an attack on a patrol, the American military said. 

The soldier was killed and four others were wounded when a car bomb exploded on Friday near their

patrol near Baiji, about 180 km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement. 

At least 1,238 U.S. military and Pentagon personnel have been killed in action in Iraq through Friday

since the start of the 2003 invasion, according to Pentagon figures. 

U.S. troops killed three insurgents who fired on their convoy after trying to ram it on Friday in Mosul,

390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad, the military said. 

The soldiers then opened fire on two cars that approached the patrol and appeared to be hostile, killing

five civilians, the military said. The incident is under investigation.

Pakistan denies the US media report 

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan denied on Saturday U.S. media reports that a senior al Qaeda leader was killed in a missile attack by an unmanned U.S. intelligence Predator aircraft on Pakistani territory near the Afghan border. ABC News said sources from unnamed intelligence agencies identified the man as Haitham al-Yemeni.

"Nothing has happened in Pakistan. If something happened in Afghanistan, we don't know," reported Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed.

A U.S. military spokesman in Afghanistan said he had no information about the veracity of the reports.

Al-Yemeni, a native of Yemen known for his bomb-making skills, had been tracked in the hope that he would help lead the United States to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, intelligence officials were quoted as saying by ABC.

With the capture in Pakistan earlier this month of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, thought to be al Qaeda's number three man, officials feared that al-Yemeni would go into hiding, and so decided to take action, ABC said on Friday.

The CIA refused to confirm or deny the report, ABC said.

The CIA has the authority to fire against senior al Qaeda figures anywhere in the world, though it is unclear whether the Pakistanis approved of the action in advance, ABC said.

This would be the fourth known time the CIA Predator has opened fire on al Qaeda targets, ABC said.

Six suspected extremists, including Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, a close associate of bin Laden, were killed in Yemen in November 2002. Officials said that on two other occasions the Predator has been used to attack people mistakenly thought to be bin Laden.

Pakistani army troops have been hunting al Qaeda militants in the lawless tribal region bordering Afghanistan since late 2003, but the government prohibits foreign forces operating in its territory.

Pakistani security forces have killed and arrested hundreds of al Qaeda militants and handed many of them over to the United States over the past three years.
