The journalistic interview: an auxiliary genre in television news reporting
Kaderka, Petr ; Havlík, Martin
Drawing upon ethnographic research, it is argued that producing television news is based on exploiting an elaborated and hierarchically ordered system of genres. Three levels are to be distinguished. Basic genres (1) are news item types (e.g. standard news, short news, live news etc.) that are employed in complex genres (2), i.e. television news programs. This paper focuses on an auxiliary genre (3) ‘journalistic interviews’, i.e. interviews with respondents, fragments of which are presented in TV news reports. The genre norms operating in journalistic interviews are derived from TV news reports as a superordinate genre. As a result, a specific course of interaction and a specific asymmetry between questions and answers are established.

Word and image, rationality and emotionality
Kaderka, Petr
This paper tries to elucidate the interrelationships among verbal semiosis, visual semiosis, rationality and emotionality. It argues that (1) both visual and verbal semiosis have the semiotic potential to emotionalize and “rationalize” the recipient, (2) reason and emotion as cultural constructs and parts of the life-world are intertwined in communication, (3) the production and reception of rational meanings are based on an endogenous logic of communicative praxis, (4) the production and reception of emotional meanings are based on the normativeness of the interactional, social and moral order in which the communication is embedded. These four theses are illustrated by the semiotic analysis of three non-commercial advertisements and an extract from a focus group discussion.

The past, present, and future of the DIALOG corpus
Kaderka, Petr ; Havlík, Martin ; Svobodová, Zdeňka ; Peterek, Nino ; Havlová, Eva K. ; Klímová, Jana ; Kubáčková, Patricie
The DIALOG corpus is a special corpus of spoken Czech, consisting of video recordings and transcripts of television discussions. The working form of the corpus contains more than two million words. In the introductory section of this paper, we discuss the motivation that led the researchers from the Czech Language Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic to collect and analyze dialogical speech, and we also present an overview of the publications based on work with the corpus. In the second section, we provide information about turning the collected material into an electronic linguistic corpus and about the basic characteristics of the working version of the DIALOG corpus and its first public version, known as DIALOG 0.1 (http://ujc.dialogy.cz). In the concluding section, we present the anticipated schedule for releasing the corpus for public access; we also indicate some currently relevant areas of research that can benefit from using the DIALOG corpus.
