• Resumen

  • A corpus of articles, culled from four major Western European and American newspapers, and reporting on the early stages of the Yugoslav crisis, is analyzed following Verschueren's pragmatic method (1991). This pilot study attempts, via the analysis of news reporting on this particular nationalist and intercultural issue, to inquire into a general interpretive framework, called world of interpretation (WoI), representing deeply-rooted and commonly unchallenged beliefs about ethnic identity and interculturality. In addition to suggestions about the nature of the WoI, some theoretical and methodological implications are discussed.
