Simplification in the British Press: Binary oppositions in crime reports

Original language description

The article presents the results of the author's research into the newspaper discourse with focus on the use of binary oppositions in crime reports in current British press. The analysis demonstrates how binary oppositions are used to convey and delimitthe identity of victims and killers, where the basic type of opposition is good vs. evil. The use of binary oppositions, which are one of the primary features of simplification in newspaper discourse, enables to identify victims and killers and at the same time express their social status (positive or negative) and thus express evaluation and opinion which are presented to the reader together with facts.
