| Abstract: | This study aims at the following: 1. to determine the presence and function of scientific knowledge when it is required by such cases as 'mad cow' disease, when the crisis breaks in the press, 2. to explore the role of scientific information through the analysis of quoted speech used by journalists in their discourse. Citation is the most explicit form of inclusion of other-discourse (D2) in one's-discourse (D1). Within the framework of the theory of énonciation (Ducrot) this study analyzes the following: 1. the identity of agents of reference chosen by journalists, 2. the specific linguistic choices made in the pre-citation segment where the agents are introduced. The study shows the proportion of scientific and non-scientific voices, the different ways of representing science agents in the process of news communication as well as the use of citation by journal writers to set the scene of the conflict. |
