La lengua en los medios de comunicación social

Abstract

This article analyzes the crucial role played by the media in the processes of culturization and linguistic development. Used appropriately, the media can help establish good idiomatic usage, but they can also confuse or misguide language users, if they act erroneously. Media professionals must have a solid linguistic formation to avoid commiting errors, such as those shown by the author through real examples taken from the press.
