다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to investigate coverage patterns of Korea TV on the U.S.-Iraq War, and its narrative structure and meaning structures. It was also interested in discourse structure about this war as well as narrative structure of pictures of TV in covering it. In order to attain this kind of purposes of this study, the author constructed research questions as follows; ‘what were coverage patterns of Korea TV on the U.S.-Iraq War?’, ‘what kinds of narrative structure such kinds of coverage patterns had?’, ‘what kinds of discourse structure the coverage patterns had?’, ‘what were meanings of these coverage patterns in Korea society?’ For the purpose of solving these research questions, news items about this was from three main TV stations were collected as main analysing objects. They were also divided into ‘linguistic representation’ and ‘pictural representation’. Each of these representations were analysed with semiotic research methods as well as dicourse research methods. As results of this study, it was firstly found that Korea TV tended to cover this war on the basis of American perspectives with American news values. Secondly, it did not reflect Islamic perspectives with Islamic news values. Thirdly, it just followed the route of U.S.-U.K. coalition armies’ attacks, and focused on battle fields and fighting situations between U.S. and Iraq armies. Fourthly, it tended to show such kind of battle fields and fighting situations with image and pictures so that it could transform a war into a kind of internet war game. In addition, through this study, it was found that pictures of TV news had a certain of narrative structure with linguistic grammar. The TV picture had a power of defining meaning of news coverage with limited range and systematic structure.
