Discursive and communicative strategies of persuasion in opinion forming media: the case of film reviewsThis study aims at analysing the discourse as a way of using language for specific purposes. On the basis of a corpus consisting of forty reviews of the French comedy Intouchables (2011) selected from various film magazines and web pages, the author offers a reflection on the nature and functions of the genre “film review”. Thus, different invariant elements of the mentioned genre can be established in the light of discursive and communicative strategies whose persuasive dimension is connected both with the presence of informative and evaluative elements about the film and the situation of the participants. Thanks to the described strategies, activating various kinds of hidden and connotative meaning i.e. implications, presuppositions, cultural associations, the journalist contributes to the co-creation of human perception.

Film review as a rhetorical activityThe paper discusses the discursive construction of persuasiveness in media language. Analysing the corpus consisting of eighty reviews of two French comedies “Intouchables” (2011) and “Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?” (2014), several invariant characteristics of the genre `film review' are established in the light of its deliberative dimension which consists in using various discursive strategies of persuasion submitted to the phatic function based on the principle of movere and delectare. Since the mentioned strategies assume that the discourse aims at influencing the addressees' will and decisions, they reflect some of the persuasive techniques used in advertising discourse, especially with regard to rhetorical means of interpretation, suggestion and evaluation such as colloquial expressions, questions, directive speech acts, collocative pronouns and generic quantifiers. Thus, the issues addressed in the study concern a set of parameters governing the attractiveness of the message in order to reinforce or weaken the recipient's attitude towards the presented object. These parameters stem from shared values and convictions exploring automatic mental triggers connected with the peripheral route of persuasive influence. Recenzja filmowa jako działanie retoryczneCelem analizy jest przedstawienie dyskursywnego konstruowania perswazyjności w języku mediów. Na bazie korpusu składającego się z osiemdziesięciu recenzji dwóch francuskich komedii „Nietykalnych” (2011) i „Za jakie grzechy, dobry Boże?” (2014) omówiono kilka inwariantnych cech gatunku „recenzji filmowej”, przedstawionych w świetle jej deliberatywności, polegającej na użyciu różnorakich dyskursywnych strategii perswazyjnych, zależnych od fatycznej funkcji języka, działającej w oparciu o reguły movere i delectare. Ponieważ we wspomnianych strategiach zakłada się, że celem dyskursu jest wpływanie na wolę i decyzje odbiorcy, odzwierciedlają one niektóre z perswazyjnych technik dyskursu reklamowego, w szczególności te, które związane są z retorycznymi środkami interpretacji, sugestii i wartościowania jak wyrażenia potoczne, pytania, akty dyrektywne, zaimki kolektywne oraz kwantyfikatory ogólne. Z tego powodu, kwestie omawiane w niniejszej pracy dotyczą środków zawiadujących atrakcyjnością komunikatu, służącej wzmocnieniu lub osłabieniu opinii odbiorcy względem prezentowanego obiektu. Środki te wywodzą się z wartości i przekonań uznanych za wspólne, wykorzystując przy tym automatyczne psychologiczne mechanizmy, związane z argumentacją peryferyjnego toru perswazji.

Abstract. Background: Gatekeeper training is an effective suicide prevention strategy. However, the appropriate targets of online gatekeeping have not yet been clarified. Aim: We examined the association between the outcomes of online gatekeeping using the Internet and the characteristics of consultation service users. Method: An advertisement to encourage the use of e-mail-based psychological consultation services among viewers was placed on web pages that showed the results of searches using suicide-related keywords. All e-mails received between October 2014 and December 2015 were replied to as part of gatekeeping, and the obtained data (responses to an online questionnaire and the content of the received e-mails) were analyzed. Results: A total of 154 consultation service users were analyzed, 35.7% of whom were male. The median age range was 20–29 years. Online gatekeeping was significantly more likely to be successful when such users faced financial/daily life or workplace problems, or revealed their names (including online names). By contrast, the activity was more likely to be unsuccessful when it was impossible to assess the problems faced by consultation service users. Conclusion: It may be possible to increase the success rate of online gatekeeping by targeting individuals facing financial/daily life or workplace problems with marked tendencies for self-disclosure.
