The function of scare quotes in hard news: Metadiscoursal and generic perspectives
Original language description
This paper is concerned with the issue of scare quoting in British hard news reports.It examines two types of scare quotes distinguished by voice origin - scare quotesoriginating with the internal voice and scare quotes attributed to an external voice (Dillon1988, Schneider 2002, Predelli 2003, Bednarek 2006, Meibauer 2015, Nacey 2012).Scare quotes originating with the internal voice are comparable to code glosses (Hyland2005, 2007) and they reflect the writer's assumptions about the reader's expectationsregarding various aspects of the enclosed words, including meaning, register and style.Such scare quotes tend to co-occur with explicit verbal metadiscourse, partial quotesand contextualising authorial discourse with which they create functionally homogenoussections. Scare quotes attributed to an external voice overlap with partial direct quotesbut the former are overlayed with an authorial attitude towards the enclosed words or thereported speaker; attitude is induced by the interaction between scare quotes and context,especially generic/discourse patterns such as contrast and repetition. The authorialcomment signalled by code glossing and attitudinal quotation marks is implicit and thusin line with hard news generic conventions. The functions of scare quotes bear relevanceto the novelty and negativity of reported events and are also reflected in the distributionacross the generic structure (Urbanová 2013).
