Summary/Abstract: The aim of the book is to characterize media genres which based on a dialogue between a journalists and a sportsmen, and to present their specific implementations on the example of conversations with volleyball players. The analysis uses the methodology of Maria Wojtak’s linguistic genology. On the basis of 71 verbal exchanges with sportsmen the author distinguishes the most important features of the contemporary media conversation. She takes into account its subject, structure, style of interlocutors’s expressions, functionality etc. The first chapter is devoted to the systematisation of research about conversation as a genre of statement. The author presents the main problems with distinguishing related speech genres which are based on exchange: conversation, dialogue and discussion. She makes review of the most important definitions of these terms which can be found in the literature, presents classifications of conversation and characterizes the media conversation. The second chapter is a review of various scientific publications (psychological, sociological, media studies, linguistic) in which sport is the leading issue. The third chapter concerns the linguistics-communicative analysis of conversations with volleyball players. The author presents the various forms of dialogue, through the description of the classical interactions (press, radio and internet interview), the conversations typical for sports journalism (micro-interview post-match), and the latest forms of communication with players (interview based on questionnaire in the form of video, conversation in the talk show, private-public dialogue). In this way presents the modern faces of the media conversations about sport.
