Abstracts

EN

The paper attempts to analyse a sample game show (quiz show) dialogue according to dialogue macro game patterns. The theoretical approach is provided by Dialogue Macro Game Theory (DMT) by William C. Mann, while the analysed content comes from the most popular production of the Polish radio station RMF FM, Szczęśliwa trzynastka (“Lucky Thirteen”). The main objective is to evidence the patterns of goal structure in radio game show dialogues. The qualitative research shows the presence of the hidden metaintention that influences all individual intentions and discourse obligations of the dialogue’s participants.

Artykuł podejmuje próbę analizy radiowego game show (konkursu radiowego) w oparciu o formułę dialogue macro game (dialogowej makrogry). Teoretyczne ramy ujęcia tworzy Dialogue Macro Game Theory (teoria dialogowej makrogry) Williama C. Manna. Analizowany materiał pochodzi z audycji zatytułowanej Szczęśliwa trzynastka, emitowanej w najpopularniejszej polskiej stacji radiowej RFM FM. Głównym celem pracy jest zbadanie wzorców struktury celów w radiowym dialogu konkursowym. Analiza jakościowa pokazuje ponadto obecność ukrytej dialogowej metaintencji, która wpływa na intencje indywidualne oraz dyskursywne zobowiązania uczestników dialogu.
