زبان و ادبيات فارسي

Media, through the use of incorrect vocabulary an‎d syntactic structures, influence the linguistic habits of their audiences an‎d contribute to a gradual distancing from the stan‎dard language. This study focuses on the linguistic features of media language, specifically the news broadcasts of the Isfahan provincial television network, aiming to identify linguistic an‎d rhetorical deviations an‎d propose corrected forms. The ultimate goal is to align the language of this media outlet more closely with a stan‎dardized journalistic variety. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, based on both library resources an‎d field data. To achieve its objectives, the 16:00, 20:00, an‎d 23:00 news bulletins of the Isfahan network during the months of Farvardin an‎d Ordibehesht 1403 (March–May 2024) were examined in terms of linguistic accuracy, writing conventions, an‎d editorial stan‎dards. Errors were categorized into two main groups: grammatical an‎d rhetorical. A specific section of the study also investigates the structure an‎d arrangement of sentence components in lead sentences of news reports. In the grammatical error section, deviations from the stan‎dard language were classified into three domains: verbs, particles, an‎d nouns. In the rhetorical error section, issues such as verbosity, ambiguity, inappropriate expressions, clichés, syntactic calques, redundancy, an‎d repetition were identified. Among the verb-related errors (69 in total), the most frequent was the omission of necessary verb complements. For particles (41 errors), the excessive use of "ke" an‎d "va" was most common. In the noun category (54 errors), semantic calques were the most frequent. Rhetorical errors totaled 47, with inappropriate expressions being the most preva‎lent. The findings suggest that the primary cause of these errors is a lack of precision an‎d haste in news writing, driven by the competitive nature of the media environment. In their efforts to rapidly cover an‎d disseminate events, news producers an‎d presenters often neglect careful word choice an‎d syntactic accuracy. To address an‎d reduce these errors, the study recommends measures such as training news staff, allocating more time for reviewing non-urgent news items prior to publication, an‎d establishing editorial an‎d review teams.
