The media influences language change a lot...

  • The media has universal appeal - through newspapers, films, tv programmes etc.
  • Excessive consumption of media texts is common.
  • The media has been seen to provoke certain attitudes and opinions towards language.
  • What is popular / what isn't ? 
  • The media could alter intonation  - for example - Australian programmes, i.e, Neighbours have influenced the intonation of English people who often raise their intonation at the end of the sentence (like the Australians) even if it's not a question.
  • This example shows that language is easy changed and altered through the media.
