뉴스 앵커의 발화와 제도적 정체성 - KBS <뉴스9>·JTBC <뉴스룸>·TV조선 <뉴스9>를 중심으로 -

Abstract

We perform our identities by means of languages. Languages are constituted in the light of the types of persons, whom we deal with and the ways of thinking, feeling and acting that we want them to do. This study was carried out to compare and analyze diverse identities that TV news program anchors showed by the medium of language, focusing on the GSOMIA news of KBS <NEWS 9>, JTBC <NEWS ROOM> and TV CHOSUN <NEWS 9> from July 18th to August 23rd 2019. According to modal and mood analysis, there were various roles of anchors, such as a ‘messenger’, an ‘assistant’ and an ‘authority’ on TV news programs, and each program gave slightly different weight to each role. The result of presupposition and evaluation analysis showed the worlds configured by anchors of individual programs. To be specific, KBS and JTBC were negative about the Japanese government, while TV CHOSUN was negative about the Korean government. Also, when analyzing expressive dimensions including vocabulary, it was revealed that JTBC made striking use of private language. The use of private language on JTBC functioned as a means of forming intimacy and bond by enhancing the perception of parasocial interaction. When it comes to anchors’ identities to position viewers, on KBS and TV CHOSUN that mainly perform a role as a ‘messenger’, viewers were positioned as (passive) ‘consumers’ of information, but on JTBC with similar proportions of the three roles; a ‘messenger’, an ‘assistant’ and an ‘authority’, viewers were positioned as those that are more active (such as an ‘interpreter’). In terms of ideological implications contained in anchors’ identities, also, TV CHOSUN put more emphasis on the responsibility of the Korean government for terminating/breaking the GSOMIA, whereas KBS and JTBC put the responsibility on the Japanese government.
