THE MACROSTRUCTURE OF NEWS MEDIA TEXT: DISCURSIVE APPROACH
Abstract
The article substantiates the discursive concept of the macrostructure of news media text, developed within the framework of discourse as speech dipped into the life and text as a product of discourse. The presentation of the concept is preceded by a brief overview of the meanings of the term macrostructure in text linguistics, stylistics and discourse studies. We define the macrostructure of the text as a general scheme of its formal-semantic organization, which is determined by discourse and manifested in the compositional and stylistic formation of the text. The model of macrostructure of news media text is presented as an aggregate of macro-textual positions covering the compositional, logical-semantic and linguostylistic levels of text organization.
