Principles of Textual Communication. On the Basis of Polish Press Reports after President Obama’s 2009 Inauguration

Abstract

On the basis of the assumption that any discourse is a highly context-dependent, and dynamically changing phenomenon of textual nature, and with reference to the fact that there may be used in linguistic research certain standards of textuality, the paper shows that the standards can be grouped into, e.g., three general sections (text-oriented, sender-oriented and context-oriented) which can be used as a starting point for further research in the study of textlinguistics and journalistic discourse.
