FORMS OF REPEATED DISCOURSE (DOUBLESPEAK) IN ROMANIAN MILITARY MASS MEDIA

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present a thorough analysis of forms of repeated interviews present in the Romanian military mass media. Starting from the particularities of the repeated discourse, expressed through langue de bois during the communist era and from its concealed forms displayed within the current Romanian written journals, we debated over the linguistic patterns used for the accomplishment of two permanent sections of the weekly “Military Observer”. The current paper, part of an ampler research focused on the achievement of a comparative study realized by means of the contents analysis of two sections of the journal, aims at investigating elements of discursive nature that reveal a form of the unconcealed usage of the langue de bois within the “Interview” section of the military publication.
