Frazy nominalne "mój mąż" i "moja żona" w amerykańskim dyskursie publicznym mówionym

Abstract

The article is an attempt to answer the question concerning the relation between a private and public sphere in communication, especially in two types of discourses that could be called public, namely, in the American public radio and television discourse, and the American academic one. The research subject constitutes two nominal phrases, that is, my husband and my wife which in view of its reference, and culturally —triggered associations with a family sphere direct a listener at what is private without a doubt. The author is particularly interested in grammar and phraseology of sentences including the phrases analysed as a determiner, though, not the only one, of the privacy borderlines which are not overcome (yet) in either of discourses.
