The Role of Language in Television News Violence.

Paridaen, Paul

Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, v14 n1 p3-16 1990

A study of 240 TV viewers who watched or listened to and watched news stories showed highly significant differences in their recorded perceptions of the information. The spoken narrative was responsible for the perception of violence in the stories. Discussion of the results also touches on the subject of verbal violence. (14 references) (CP)
