Abstracts

EN

This paper summarizes an empirical corpus-based study of tendencies in register characteristics of Czech broadsheet newspapers (Lidové noviny, Mladá fronta DNES, Právo, Hospodářské noviny) and their comparison with the major tabloid newspaper Blesk in the period from 1995 to 2018. Register characteristics of journalistic texts are determined by projecting their position on a general multidimensional model established by previous research. The results show that Czech journalism has witnessed a significant decrease in cohesion, a shift from general to more concrete/specific descriptions and from explicit attitude signalling to a more factual style. The results did not provide sufficient evidence to confirm previously formulated hypotheses suggesting “tabloidization” and “conversationalization” of broadsheets in the period under examination.
