THE FACTUALITY OF FOOTBALL TELEVISION REPORTS FROM A TEXT-CENTRED PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The article characterizes the factuality of football reporting from a text-centred perspective. It is noted that the facts in the text are explained by means of text structures built on the basis of focal and background factums. The system of factual text indicators which convey information about the progress of the game, the organizers and participants of the football match, the place of the event, the time, the status of the match, the stage of the tournament, etc. was analysed.
