Аннотация:The article explores two media discourse formats, film and TV interview as manifesting specific distribution of speech and gesture in the construal of discourse space in narratives. The research data are 20 film and TV interview narratives with 10 highly rated Russian actors (5 men and 5 women). The study exploits the method of multimodal analysis to determine the contingency patterns of discursive schemata presenting discourse space in speech and of discursive schemata presenting object of reference, move and frame of reference in gesture. To identify their attribution to two media formats construal, the study contrasts the discourse characteristics manifesting plot contents and viewer engagement. The results show that multimodal deixis contributes to intensifying both types of these characteristics. While multimodal deixis in film manifests the preference for metonymic pointing, placement indication and speech event construal; in TV interview, we observe the significant prevalence of metaphoric pointing, path indication and narrative event construal. Additionally, TV interviews display the speech schemata specifying information and accentuating the place of referent within the speech or narrative event. Overall, the study shows that there are two basic types of discourse characteristics which produce higher differences in multimodal deixis between film and TV interview formats; these are different narrative regimes and different combination of staged performance and spontaneity.
