O podpisach pod materiałami wizualnymi z perspektywy mediolingwistycznej – próba typologii na podstawie polsko- i niemieckojęzycznej prasy codziennej
About the Captions under Visual Materials from a Media Linguistic Perspective – An Attempt of a Typology Based on Polish and German Daily Newspapers

Summary/Abstract: The captions under visual materials located in the press fit into a category, which, against the background of numerous works devoted to the variant of language used by the press, seems to be almost completely unnoticed by researchers of the language used in media. One can ask oneself at this point the question of whether this constitutes a wilful lack of attention by media linguists convinced of the sterility of captions as a potential area of study or is actually a result of a peculiar oversight. Based on the assumption that captions posted by media broadcasters under the photographs can comprise an interesting field of scientific exploration, an attempt will be made of their systematization. The captions coming from a total of six Polish-German newspapers will serve as the basis for the research material.
