A level model of a German-language one-on-one TV interview

The aim of the study is to build a model of the communicative behaviour of participants in a German-language one-on-one TV interview, which should reflect the constant and procedural-variable characteristics of their communicative interaction. The study is novel in that it is the first to describe the field of tension of the participants in the discourse of a German-language one-on-one TV interview. The consistency of communicative interaction is revealed during the analysis of the communicative and verbal behaviour of the communicants who have assumed the roles of an interviewer and an interviewee with restrictive behaviours attributed to them, on the one hand, and who simultaneously remain individuals with their inherent personal behaviours and micro-intentions, on the other hand. As a result of the study, the constant (linear development, organisation of relations, logic of the situation, subject-logical level of interaction, subject-object relations) and procedural-variable (dynamic development, logic of decision-making, interpersonal level of interaction, subject-subject relations) characteristics of the interaction between the communicants were identified, a level model of a German-language one-on-one TV interview was developed and described.
