Abstract

This paper aims at exploring morphological, syntactic and semantic features through which social actors, implicated in Internet privacy issues discourse, in news reports are represented. Van Leeuwen’s theoretical-methodological tools have been used in the study to reveal the basic tendencies that conceptualize social interaction between participants involved in the process of privacy violation. Groups of dominant social actors and their roles in digital surveillance practices have been specified by means of the three sets of categories of inclusion/ exclusion, activation/ passivation, personalization/ impersonalization. The obtained results can be used for enhancing readers’ critical thinking abilities in order to understand and create discourse in the media.
