Grammatical means and their potential to violate the news reporting information quality

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the inflectional means of Czech and their potential to serve as a tool for violating the rules of information quality of news reporting in media. It briefly introduces the underlying theory and the process of data acquisition and processing and summarizes the results of the analysis. The conclusions show that by morphological means, eg by using variant word forms, it is possible to implicitly suggest either evaluation or preconceived emotional attitudes to the recipient, or their perception may be disturbed. In a broader context, research shows that, despite the fact that the inflectional means are a less open strategy than lexical units or intonation, they may have an implicit but strong potential to implement a function other than the intended informative function in news reporting.
