Dialogické rysy dopravního rozhlasového zpravodajství (na příkladu slovesných způsobů)
Dialogical features in traffic radio news (on the example of verbal moods)

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the analysis of radio news on traffic. Traffic news is generally described as a specific kind of a dialogue, namely the dialogue between a reporter and phoning drivers, acted out as a role-play. This description is based on recordings from the public radio station Radiožurnál and the private radio station Impuls (10 recordings from each radio). Further attention is paid to the verbs used in traffic news, especially to those in the form of 2nd person plural in the indicative (zdržíte se / you are late) and 2nd person plural in the imperative (čekejte/wait) that is to those verb forms which are used by the reporter to address radio listeners (drivers) directly. The analysis showed that the distribution of verbal means (the indicative and the imperative) is practically identical in both radio stations.
