COURTESY ON THE AIR (STRATEGIES AND PRACTICES)

Abstract

The article presents the current status of personal and possessive pronouns usage as one of the main morphological means of courtesy expression to the listener in media communication. Comparison is made between two types of talk shows – “Tarsi se” and “Neka govoryat s Rosen Petrov” – with the purpose of determining the dominant factor in the choice of a communicative model – singular you forms or plural you forms.
