THE LINGUISTIC AND STYLISTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF ANALYZING MASS MEDIA TEXTS
Keywords:
Linguistic and stylistic analysis, foregrounding, mass media, print media, news, broadcasting, discourse, article, political ideology, society.Abstract
The use of language in mass media, for example, specific types of grammatical structure or specific intonation patterns, the content of the text and its cognitive meaning are of interest to linguistics. For example, newspaper headlines have specific syntactic features that determine their grammatical oddity and have long attracted the attention of linguists. It is unique in several studies that linguistic and stylistic analysis is carried out in ways that illuminate the socio-cultural analysis of news media.
