Hybrydowe formacje dyskursywne – na przykładzie analizy stenogramów nagrań prac komisji śledczej
Hybrid discursive formations – a case study of an investigative commission meeting transcripts

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to show that utterances appearing during an investigativecommission’s work constitute a contamination of the generic features of interviewsand court hearings, and therefore present a new type of hybrid discursive formations. The examined utterances function in the public space both in its institutional as well asmass dimensions. The fact that the activities of an investigative commission are based onthe code order (an oath, citing points and paragraphs of the code, etc.) evokes jurisdictionalcontexts. On the other hand, extralinguistic determinants such as recording, presenceof television crews, live broadcasting, the character of participants (important peoplefrom the world of politics, public life), as well as certain linguistic features, e.g. freedomof expression, the way of asking questions and answering them, refer to the poeticsof the interview. Standardized forms of interaction (formulas, petrified phrases) coexistwith self-promotional statements typical of interviews. The analysed material representsa contemporary postmodern discourse, characterized by dynamics, provocation, creativity,openness, “mixing” genres, blurring the boundaries between the public and the privatespace. The multisemiotic character, modification of the classic system of role distributionwith a sender and a receiver, increased persuasiveness and interactivity of the messageall point to the discursive and social change that is taking place. Utterances which appearas part of investigative commission’s meetings are characterized by jurisdictional proceduralembedment and the occurrence of theatrical addition and show typical of the media.The constitute a genre contamination, a hybrid discursive formation
