RP-Media Language in Iraq from 2003 to 2020: A Study of Its Linguistic and Subjective .pdf

The language of the media has had a significant and enduring impact on our formal Arabic language. This impact has been both positive, as it spread correctness and enriched the language, and negative, as it introduced hybrid words from other languages into our spoken language. This has occurred while the language of the media took on the role of addressing the needs of society to express contemporary developments. Additionally, the media has undertaken various educational roles.
However, the negative impact of media language is the introduction of errors into the language when it is the source. Many linguists have noted the prevalence of errors in media language, which has had a detrimental effect on the eloquence of the Arabic language. Several attempts have been made to rectify this situation and elevate the language. It was these considerations that led me to choose the subject of my thesis, in order to complement previous studies.
The research period selected covers the years after 2003. This period witnessed significant media openness in Iraq, which resulted in many individuals working in journalism and media who lacked the necessary linguistic skills. This contributed to the spread of errors in various forms (grammatical, morphological, and linguistic) in their media discourse, which negatively affected the Arabic language. Moreover, there is a lack of linguistic studies that focus on media language in Iraq compared to studies conducted on media language in other Arab countries.
The research is divided into an introduction and three chapters. The introduction defines media language and presents the procedural research for the impact of media topics on language levels. It also discusses the importance of studying media language, which is based on my modest experience of over twenty-five years working in various forms of media (print, radio, television, and news agencies).

The first chapter addresses the structural characteristics of media language in Iraq, focusing on the correctness level. It examines topics related to congruence, linkage, collocations, and concomitance.
The second chapter addresses the semantic characteristics of media language in Iraq. The first section establishes the foundation for the field of media language semantics as a branch of semiotics, along with its terminology (media sign and media referent). This section also conducts a comparative procedural study that reveals the relationship between text, image, and semantic meaning. The second section discusses common language issues in media language, such as synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy, and provides practical applications through logical and psychological programs. The third section explores semantic change phenomena and their factors, providing practical applications through logical and psychological programs and discussing other factors specific to media language in Iraq.
The last chapter of the research addresses the interactive aspect of media language in Iraq through three practical applications, considering three types of media language: written, spoken, and visual. The analysis is conducted according to the classifications of three scholars, namely (Austin, Searle, and Grice). The chapter also highlights the importance of the interactive study of contemporary media language and its implications. It discusses the historical development of print, auditory, and visual media in Iraq.
The research has produced several key findings, including:
1- The reasons behind the decline of media language in Iraq after 2003.
2- The reasons for the common use of errors and how to address them.
3- The role of media language in Iraq in correcting some errors, arabizing certain terms, and revitalizing unused words.
4- The impact of media topics on the level of language presented.
5- The effect of the interactive study on media language and its importance.
6- The languages of the media that are most affected by the decline of formal Arabic language.
7- The research provides several recommendations for the Media and Communications Authority, the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate, and colleges and departments of journalism and media to enhance the level of media language in Iraq.
