Abstract

Featuring the contributions of semiotic discourse to the teaching of telejournalism, this article proposes the first stage of a project that seeks to highlight the syntax that governs the construction of the TV news, and in particular the report. It requires an examination of how its constituent units (off, sound, images, art, appearance of the reporter, etc.) are combined to produce a “whole meaning” - a text. From the analysis of the report’s structure, we verify the most recurrent uses and functions of each of these constituent units. In this article, the appearance of the reporter is the subject of a preliminary analysis of the "functioning" of the textual TV reporting. Based on a study of 100 scripts, we propose the description of seven syntactic features of the appearance of the reporter.
