A Textual Analysis of the Embargo Column

The paper offers a textual analysis of a sample of texts published in the Embargo column in Večernji list. The intention is to trace down the evolvement of a particular discourse type with the aim of establishing the points of stability/instability within it as a manifestation of socioculturally conditioned discursive shifts. The methodological concept, i.e. textual analysis conceived as including intertextual and linguistic analysis, conceived by Norman Fairclough, is complemented with other concepts used in sociolinguistics (Labov) and narrative theory.The shifts observed in the complex discursive configuration of the Embargo, such as a shift from 'covert' to 'overt' modes of the transmission of the story and less prominent linguistic heterogeinety, point to deeper shifts within the order of discourse of the media, which require more extensive application of Fairclough's model.
