Summary/Abstract: Short televised interviews are an interesting object of research, not only of contrastive media linguistics but also of communication analysis, text genre linguistics and pragmatics, especially as far as deviations in communication are concerned. The article offers a classification of these deviations alongside a classification of deviations in televised interviews that are connected with communication and language. Deviations in communication are observed from the point of view of the addressor, the process of communication, mutual understanding, the addressee as well as linguistic deviations. Similarities and differences between deviations in Ukrainian and German short televised interviews are identified, which enables the development of a model for deviations and a deeper contrastive examination of both languages.
