Abstract

This article examines factual and fictional characteristics of media texts and means of their expression in narrative genres of mass media discourse. Russian newspaper articles make the material of research. The interpretive analysis of textual information, definitional, descriptive and comparative, discursive, semantic, functional, stylistic analysis is carried out. The authors of the article use linguistic-cultural, linguistic and pragmatic, discursive approaches for the complex analysis of informative characteristics of mass media discourse texts, types of narrative strategies, revealing verbal and nonverbal means of information presentation and its verification grade. Factuality and fiction functioning as alternative methods of the outer world reflection in media texts are differentiated on the basis of the narrative modality category and narrative level structure. The conducted research has revealed that distribution of subjective and objective features in narration steadily depends on textual and contextual factors. The ways of analysis are useful for development of communication theory, pragmalinguistics, sociolinguistics, narrative theory, media linguistics.
