Abstract

This study investigates the alignment of anonymity of the third party which is being talked about, for ideological purposes, by both the interviewer and the interviewee in British political interviews. After doing a deep review of the studies of the exclusion function of nominalization (turning verbs and adjectives into nouns) and interviews, this study attempts to fill a gap in the literature. The study employs an eclectic model that integrates van Dijk's cognitive approach with his ideological nominalization criteria. The results show that there is a linguistic systematic method of collaboration used by both the IRs and IEs to keep specific agents out of the interviews, mentioning their activities only, and this can be noticed by their employing nominalization in their speech.
