Abstract
The discourse of professional journalists has been the object of several scholarly studies which dealt with its rhetorical specificity from the most diverse perspectives, from critical linguistics and critical discourse analysis (Fowler 1991; Fairclough 1995) to genre studies (Mansfield 2006) and the practitioner’s viewpoint at large (Cotter 2010). As far as the present study is concerned, corpus and discourseanalytic perspectives (Ädel and Reppen 2008; Charles et al. 2009) were combined with the aim of investigating the discursive resources employed by quality newspapers from Italy and the United States of America in the representation of each other’s country through the places chosen as the preferred observation points of the other.
