The present paper discusses the talk show interview as a speech genre. With this view, the study employs contrastive analysis. The focus is on interviews conducted in non-political talk shows, which had not been studied in this regard so far. The article outlines talk shows in America and Georgia, characterizes their structure, style, lexical-grammatical characteristics, and presents the interview as a speech genre.Schlagworte:
