The examined utterances function in the public space both in its institutional as well as<br>mass dimensions. The fact that the activities of an investigative commission are based on<br>the code order (an oath, citing points and paragraphs of the code, etc.) evokes jurisdictional<br>contexts. On the other hand, extralinguistic determinants such as recording, presence<br>of television crews, live broadcasting, the character of participants (important people<br>from the world of politics, public life), as well as certain linguistic features, e.g. freedom<br>of expression, the way of asking questions and answering them, refer to the poetics<br>of the interview. Standardized forms of interaction (formulas, petrified phrases) coexist<br>with self-promotional statements typical of interviews. The analysed material represents<br>a contemporary postmodern discourse, characterized by dynamics, provocation, creativity,<br>openness, “mixing” genres, blurring the boundaries between the public and the private<br>space. The multisemiotic character, modification of the classic system of role distribution<br>with a sender and a receiver, increased persuasiveness and interactivity of the message<br>all point to the discursive and social change that is taking place. Utterances which appear<br>as part of investigative commission’s meetings are characterized by jurisdictional procedural<br>embedment and the occurrence of theatrical addition and show typical of the media.<br>The constitute a genre contamination, a hybrid discursive formation.</p> ER -
